  • A tactical guide highlighting the best points from some of Novak Djokovic's favorite plays.
    Novak Djokovic is one of the most precise players on the tour and as such, he consistently executes plays with pinpoint accuracy. These are some of Novak's favorite plays that he uses time and time again to dominate players.
    Notes:
    -This list is by no means comprehensive
    -Novak often uses multiple plays within a single point and transitions between plays very well, making him less predictable while adding variety to his game
    Overview:
    -Groundstroke variations
    -Dropshot plays
    -Slice plays
    -Approach plays
    -Serve 1-2 punches
    -Return

    These tactics are not uncommon but there are three things Djokovic does different than other players
    - he can change his forehand from slow high loop to fast flat, without changing his preparation and without losing consistency
    - he can change the direction at the very last moment, so he can outsmart his opponent who's moving into the other
    - he can place the balls very close to the lines, both deep and wide
    These things set him apart from other top players whose shots are more predictable, more similar and with a higher margin of error. It might not be as spectacular as Federer's shot making or Nadal's power, but it's overall more effective.
    That and his tremendous ability to return and neutralize serve advantage of course.

    I think and would guess that Novak’s greatest asset is stamina and unforced errors? He lets his opponents vitality get beneath his own vitality toward the end, and this is where he has an “edge” to just get over an opponent. He’s not known for his powerful serve, powerful forehands, powerful backhands, powerful volleys…………he ought to be known for the more subtle attributes. And I believe it’s his stamina and unforced errors. And mental concentration under pressure.

      @@mahih1493 It took a lot of work. In 2010, after a doctor determined that Djokovic was allergic to gluten and was lactose intolerant, he completely changed his diet to cut out gluten, dairy, and refined sugars. Changing one's diet so drastically is definitely not easy, especially for someone who loved eating pizza and grew up in Serbia, where bread and pasta are dietary staples. But he loved tennis so much that he was willing to change his entire lifestyle to improve.

    Summed up: make your opponent move and punish him in the clear corner. Tennis is so simple ideally, but it takes a genius to perfect those thing in a pinpoint fashion.

      @Siyi0408 3 роки тому +1

      Well, I’d say that both Djokovic’s forehand and backhand are among the best in the tour, so he can dominate play on both sides. He doesn’t center his game around forehand or serve, like berritini, who I don’t can consistently use any of the backhand patterns.

    Thanks for the video, but what does this have to do with strategy? It would be more fitting to call this video "variety of shots"... I would love someone with a much better knowledge of tennis to explain why a certain shot is the right one at any given moment, and why a certain shot is the wrong one at that moment, and what should have been done differently. now that would be a video I would love to see and analyze.
