No one talks about it, Norrie highlights one of Djokovic's qualities

Cameron Norrie spoke at a press conference after his defeat against Novak Djokovic, who is steadily advancing through the men's Roland-Garros draw.

The Serb boasts excellent serving statistics, a quality Norrie emphasized: "No one talks about his first serve. I try to extend the points and play my game, but he disrupts the rhythm by serving incredibly well.

His serving is impressive. I think it's the part of his game that has improved the most. I'm surprised by his serving accuracy.

It's incredible how he controls the pace of the match, and he doesn’t miss anything. He still hasn’t missed anything."

Djokovic will hope to rely on his serve once again when he faces Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals.

PLEASE! Federer did the same thing when he got older. He focused on backing off his first serve a little and getting more of them in. It's tennis 101. When you're opponents return of serve is good enough to put you on defense right away, you change to getting more first serves in. Same concept with Federer trying SABR (Sneak Attack By Roger) where he stepped inside the base line and took serves early to put the opponent on defense.
Problem is, it's a more high risk.
