Nicely done but gotta stop hitting volleys right back timidly at opponents. Hit it into the open court ffs.

Yep, that net point last was terrible. But, it is probably easy for us to say sitting in the couch.

Wow, Roger is playing really well. A nice thing to wake up to.

I had a dream about Novak Djokovic last night - first time I've ever had a tennis player dream. He was really nice, really friendly.

Roger is doing just fine for himself from the baseline. Most of these approaches have just been bad. On this surface he can avoid the long rallies even without coming in too early.

A lot of those are mishits though

backhand overhead is always difficult shot, imo. novak forced him to hit it.

But a few of those every 6 months and I'd live with it but he does multiple lame volleys every match hitting it right back to the opponent. Every single match without fail and the whole opposite side of the court was wide open.

Some of the bad approaches were poor execution on the right idea but some he was just forcing things too early.
