Players face enormous pressure since they deal with many other factors, such as family, fitness, and other mental problems. This year, players like Alcaraz spoke about another difficulty players faced. The change in tennis balls across tournaments has hampered the ability of the athletes to perform in an optimal fashion. With  Djokovic shining despite all the challenges, he emerges as a hero to the young generation of tennis stars.

How did Djokovic strategize his approach to tournaments to bag more victories?

While almost every tennis fanatic is in love with Djokovic’s amazing tennis skills, it is important to understand that victory also depends on the correct strategy. For example, if one looks at Djokovic’s performance during 2023, one would see that the Serbian focused only on big tournaments like the Wimbledon and ATP Tournaments over attending the smaller championships. Now this helped him to not burn out his fitness or energy and store it for crucial games. As a result, Djokovic performed brilliantly at the age of 36. His outlook on mentality and preparation have ensured that players almost half of his age couldn’t keep up with him.
