Novak Djokovic recently won the Paris Masters while not losing a set throughout the tournament and he spoke about his advantages on court afterwards.
The Serbian is one of the most successful players in tennis history and he benefits from many parts of his game. In the latest interview he spoke about movement being one of the keyparts of his game. Djokovic said:
“My movement is the base of everything. It allows me to actually swing through my shots to get some balls that maybe most of the other players cannot get to. I slide a lot, whether it’s clay, hard court, or grass. I think the flexibility of my ankles has helped with that aggressive style of movement,” said Djokovic.
“I credit my childhood spent on the skis as well. I used to spend a lot of time skiing. I think that had an effect with coordination and the change of movement from one side to another. Even though they are different sports, you are using some major muscle groups and joints and stuff like this in most of the sports. So, I think movement is the most important thing because it just allows you to be more in balance. At the end of the day, that is what you’re looking for as a tennis player. How you can have the right balance to hit the ball with the right speed, accuracy and precision.”
