Novak Djokovic: 'I probably played my best match ever against Rafael Nadal'
Novak Djokovic opened the season on a very high note defeating Rafael Nadal in a straight-set Australian Open final. The Serb was under control from the beginning to the end and in an interview ahead of Wimbledon, as quoted by The Telegraph, he recalled that match: “Under the circumstances, it was probably the best tennis match I have ever played. In grand slam finals for sure. Against Nadal. He was in form – he didn’t drop a set until the final. It was an amazing match. It did feel at certain stages where everything happens so automatically that you don’t want to try anything. There is no effort – it just flows. That is really when you can express your best self. We are all trying to be in that state of mind, body and soul I guess. It is not easy. It can change rapidly, I guess you just have to believe in yourself and work hard and eventually it is going to come to you.”
Djokovic won Wimbledon four times and he looks to add a fifth trophy this year as a defending champion. His relationship with the grass changed over the years. "In the first part of my career I was struggling [on grass] because I was not a natural volleyer", recognized the Belgrade native. "But I improved. My game throughout my career has been based on my movement and really trying to get a lot of balls back,” concluded Djokovic.
