Gauff finds herself in a similar situation as Bartoli when she took the W trophy. All the top players went out early. She faced Lisicki who was favored to win because of her big serve, but Lisicki choked and gifted Bartoli the championship. Actually this is a similar scenario Djokovic is hoping for. All the cards falling in place.

Not sure what match this guy watched. There were several times after Djokovic had ran a lot in long rallies where he netted or missed wide/long routine forehands. He was visibly winded after one rally and then netted to simple forehand ROS. AA made a huge strategic error by not running Djokovic early and often.
