"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.
