NOVAK ABOUT THE WIND

Novak also talked about problems with the wind.

“Survival. So much energy is spent both physically and mentally in these conditions. You are thrown out of some comfort zone, in one condition you warm up in another you play. Unpredictable where the wind blows. Mostly it was on one side, changing the direction, affecting the position on the court, coordination, balance, shot execution, tactics. On the one hand, a set and a half and he and I didn’t have a first serve. Second as a first, mostly a kick, you throw the ball, it goes three meters away. You can’t chase it, awkward for rhythm, you don’t see that on TV. And so, it’s not the first time. I don’t remember this many days in a row that we have extremely strong wind. It’s not fun to play in such conditions. It’s more about coping and surviving, to be more skilled, to you do better than your opponent, that was the case in the first set. After that, I adapted a bit, I knew how to find the level of play, I raised the quality of my tennis and it was reflected in the result.”
