Second Serve

 


Novak Djokovic threw in about 20 too many ill-timed dropshots during his five-set victory over Gilles Simon on Sunday in Melbourne, and afterwards, when a fan shouted to him on the court “No more drop shots,” Djokovic took heed.

In addition to his funny reaction to the fan’s comments on court (see above), Djokovic elaborated further in press. Here’s what he said:

Q. As a fan shouted, No more dropshots, what else could you do to avoid those unforced errors?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It would be interesting to see how many dropshot points I won. It's probably one out of 40, very low percentage. The person who shouted was absolutely right, as I said on the court. But sometimes it works. It's my game. As I said, I don't think it can get much worse than this. A hundred unforced errors for a match is really tremendous for me, my style of the game. I'm aggressive but still like to construct the point. Too many unforced errors today. I'm going to make sure that I decrease that number at least more than half and hope for the best.
