I’m not saying Novak will throw the events. No he will still want to play well in these masters and win some. All I’m saying is he doesn’t need to play flat out in everyone to make sure he stays no1 or to try win a masters he not won or set records.I do not follow this logic. Nadal if he wins say MC and Rome and Djokovic wins no M1000 goes back to top of m1000 leaderboard. Nadal likely to have a 3 slam lead by July. Federer i assume also will target slams and lesser events to get past connors. So Djokovic could actually lose everything if he only focusses on slams unless he wins them?
He’s already set so many records at masters level, weeks at no1, year end no1. He can now prioritise what he plays and goes for. Instead of playing a full calendar.
I agree he won’t want to just neglect them fully as he will want to keep his match fitness going, keep confidence up and prevent other rivals getting confidence. It’s more the fact that is he doesn’t need to play flat out every event like he did in past. He can take more rest and conserve energy.
