The third round of Wimbledon ushered in a Serbia derby, with top seed Djokovic facing off against No. 25 seed Kecmanovic. The younger brother from Serbia lost completely in front of his elder brother, especially in the first game. The two are so familiar with each other that they often train together. Facing the king of tennis, the honest Kecmanovic obviously lacks momentum, confidence and adventurous spirit, and is unable to break through the psychological barrier and dare not give it a try. As the tournament progresses, Djokovic is getting better and better, but it is definitely not up to his expectations.
Satisfied with the overall performance
After the game, Djokovic expressed satisfaction with his third game on grass this year. He thought he had a pretty good start and basically maintained a high level throughout the game. Although he has never played against each other on grass, he is very familiar with his opponent's playing style, and Ketzman is not good at playing on grass. So I made a plan before the game and knew what I needed to do.
Germany talks about strengthening epidemic prevention
Berrettini, Cilic and Agut all withdrew from the game because of positive results, so "how to strengthen epidemic prevention" has become a must-ask question recently. Djokovic said that he spends most of his time at tennis courts or with his family, and basically does not go out. "I'm not overly worried about this. I try to stay healthy, stay focused, and don't keep thinking about whether I will be infected. After going through the past two years, each of us should really remain cautious."
Djokovic tends to agree with ATP allowing on-site guidance
He feels that he can understand both the opinions of both sides. "The unique thing about our sport is that players have to find solutions to problems on the field themselves, rather than relying on coaches. I understand this view. But, in fact, for a long time, in most games, on-field coaching It is indeed happening. I may be more inclined to allow guidance, because it does exist, so why not officially allow it in the rules.”
Although he agreed, he also raised his concerns at the implementation level: “For example, the coach can only Players can only coach when they are on the same side of the court to prevent interference with another player. I don't know how this will be implemented in women's tennis, which allows the coach to be on the court and the TV audience can hear the players and coaches. The dialogue between players is very interesting and interesting. However, people can send messages to the opponent's team after seeing the coach's instructions on TV. I think the communication between the players and the coach is not very friendly. Information should be privacy. Where this balance point lies may not be known until it is officially implemented.
The Netherlands is really a dark horse. Last year, the Dutchman Van der Shamshup started from the qualifying rounds at the US Open and reached the quarterfinals; this year, Van Reithofen went from 0 wins on the tour to winning the ATP250 Hertogenbosch, and from Wimbledon The wild card defeated strong opponents all the way and reached the top 16, becoming the first male player in this century to reach the top 16 of Wimbledon in his Grand Slam debut. As early as before the start of Wimbledon, this player said: "Since there are no points, I want to draw Djokovic in the first round." Sure enough, having a dream is great. With his outstanding performance, he will face Djokovic in the fourth round, and he got his wish. Djokovic said that Van Reithofen is one of the hot topics this grass court season. He has watched several of his games at Wimbledon. Although he does not know him well, he knows his coach Sirinen. and the team will conduct more research on him.
Djokovic believes that Van Reithhoven's style of play is very suitable for grass. "He serves well, is good at using cutting, can play at a fast pace, can maintain a stalemate, can go to the net, and is very comprehensive. I believe he is very excited to play in such an important game. He's playing on a stage and he's on a dream winning streak and has nothing to lose."
A reporter asked, would you be nervous when facing unknown players you have never played against? Djokovic answered honestly, yes, "For players who are meeting for the first time, especially when the opponent has nothing to lose, you will He doesn't understand his playing style, so he needs to adapt and adjust. He needs to do a lot of homework before the game, analyze his previous games, collect as much useful information as possible, and make various preparations. "
Djokovic talks about Wimbledon abolishing the old rules
Wimbledon The custom of suspending play on Sunday in the first week has been cancelled, and the 145-year tradition has been abolished, gradually converging with other Grand Slam tournaments. In this regard, Djokovic He was happy to see the results and expressed his support for the change of arranging the game on Sunday in the first week. However, he also half-jokingly expressed that he was not satisfied with being allowed to practice on the central court before the game: " Although before the game started, I was allowed to practice in the central court. Opportunities for court training, but I still don’t support it. I never imagined that anyone would be able to train on Center Court before the defending champions officially kicked off on Monday. "
Djokovic also understands the changes in the tournament: "Things develop and change. The organizers make certain changes and adjustments based on the needs of players, fans, and even the times. This kind of An open attitude is good. I have great respect and love for Wimbledon’s tradition of keeping all white and advertising-free on center court, which is a rarity in today’s world. Some of this year's changes are indeed surprising, and future changes are possible. However, Wimbledon is very traditional after all, and they will carefully evaluate these changes. ”
