Djokovic is a piss-poor front runner. This fault has cost him numerous matches against Nadal that he should have won and he has showed no signs of improving in that area over the years. It's almost like he has to be behind to play his sharpest and best tennis.

Novak not playing well. He's trying to play safe and it's not working. Doesn't have the consistency. Perhaps due to the wind?

Possible yeah but the rallies are passive, pusher muck to watch now. Getting boring as hell to watch.

Seriously? This is the guy with one of the best records of all time when he wins the first set??

They're saying maybe they're opening the roof more so the wind is more noticeable now.

This is just the way he plays most of the time nowadays. He doesn't play to his potential as a result. He is allowing Murray to be the aggressor.

It's not boring me, it's irritating me.

It's kinda like the Djoker semi, as if neither of them want to take it...

He certainly can't afford to do that today. I'm no Murray fan, but when he tries to take his chances like he is today, I start to like him a lot. Novak is just pushing the ball back right now

I am talking about his matches against the very elite, and yes I am being absolutely serious. Djokovic plays his best ball when behind.

He was up 4-1 in this set and look where it is now.

Mats has a day job answering phones. Sometimes he gets confused...

I thought he'd win it 6-2 or 6-3 but yeah, he made a dog's dinner of this set and will probably lose it.
