The Second Serve: A Symbol of Djokovic's Struggles?
Once again after Roland-Garros, Djokovic faced Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals. A matchup that has become routine on the tour, and for the fifth consecutive time, it favored the world No. 1 (6-3, 6-3, 6-4).
At 38, the Serbian appeared completely overwhelmed by the Italian's power and precision: 36 winners to just 17 unforced errors. Less sharp on his serves, Djokovic struggled behind his second serve, costing him a significant number of points throughout the match.
According to *Jeu, Set et Maths*, Djokovic won only 17% of his points after his second serve—just 5 out of 30. This statistic hadn’t been seen since 2005, during his match against Safin at the Australian Open. Back then, the Grand Slam record-holder conceded 22 points behind his second serve out of 27 played (19%, 5/27).
