Novak Djokovic opens up on the two greatest matches of his tennis career

Tennis star Novak Djokovic has played a plethora of matches during his career, but there are two special ones he remembers and thinks were most difficult for him to play. In a feature for Head Tennis, the Serbian opens up about a few things, including this two matches.

The first game was in the 2019 Wimbledon Final against Roger Federer.This great match is still remembered by many Federer fans for the way it concluded, considering he had two points to win but he failed to do so. The 37-year-old player discussed how he found the right way to win the game despite losing in the earlier sets. The Serbian would go on to name this game as one of the most nerve-racking matches he has ever played, which makes sense as Djokovic was on the verge of losing it badly before making his comeback in the game.

 “It was a match in which he [Federer] was the better player statistically, he won more points and he just had all the stats on his side. But I just found a way to win in important moments and to play the right shots at the right time. At 40-15 down I just tried to make him play and make him earn his victory. He came to the net. I made a passing shot and second match point and he got tight a little bit and I used my momentum. Again it was a very close one very close match, probably the most nerve-wracking match I was ever part of.”

Djokovic further spoke about his 2012 Australia Open Finals against Rafael Nadal. The 37-year-old tennis legend's career featured many great games, but these two are memorable ones for him.

“Maybe another one that I would add to that section was the 2012 win in Australian Open against Nadal in the finals. But those two matches stand out as the two greatest matches that I was ever part of.”
