A trump card of Novak's play: A tiny change became the strongest weapon for the trophy on Wimbledon! (VIDEO)
Novak Djokovic returned to the Wimbledon throne, and he will attack the world throne! The path to it was painful, long, full of thorns, but it had its own technical side. Our best tennis player worked on changing the racket, which became his lethal weapon on London grass.
Djokovic officially in the TOP 10 after winning the Wimbledon!
Novak worked on motivation, he slowly gathered his confidence back, he tried to bring back or to perfect some aspects of the game along the way which adorned him until 2016.
Long after that, he was a shadow of his former Novak, he showed his true face on last Wimbledon, in a cocktail of steel nerves, great confidence, almost perfect technique and preparedness for 5 hours long marathon.
However, rarely anyone noticed one asked of his game, and Nebojsa Mandrapa in a new Nedeljnik described it in detail.
- When it comes to details, a lot has changed, with a racket that takes a special place. Novak is playing with HEAD Graphene Touch Speed Pro, but his main weapon was changed and adapted to fit his new playstyle, conditioned by his elbow injury. The pro stock PT131b frame remained, but the racket has a lesser weight than before. The head size was increased and it has different spanning, which Andre Agassi had at the time.
That partially increased the spin and gave increased force to the strikes, the length of the racket is 27 inches, which helps with service and swing.
- The racket has Graphene Touch technology which ensures the feeling and damping of vibrations, maintaining the enviable power level. When such adjustments are made, they are performed at a micro level, and the average tennis lovers would have never noticed that, but that brings a massive difference in play, especially at the top level. Thus, such finesse helped Novak to be more aggressive, to hit the ball more strongly with greater spin - Mandrapa mentions.
The service is changed because the grip is different, including the swing, the first and the second step after the service. Novak needed to fit all of those elements into the perfect whole after the recovery from the surgery.
- The elbow hurt him after every training, the hand was often swollen, but he didn't want to talk about it. He desired tennis so much that he wanted the run across the court just to make up what he missed. However, that charge only slowed him down.
In the end, Novak caught real rhythm when it was the most important and the most beautiful, during one of the four grand slam tournaments. The victory is the sweetest on London grass, which has a legendary status, and Novak sent a nice message - we will yet to see his endeavors!
