Novak Djokovic def. Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 on Sunday to claim her first Wimbledon singles championship.
Djokovic had beaten Nadal in four previous finals this year, and although none of these wins was in Grand Slams, they sent Novak in this important meeting with the psychological advantage. He had really thought that he would win, and Rafa likely had an unfamiliar challenges: doubt. Nadal had 15 errors for the match more than normal, and many of them came at important points in the first and fourth sets.
In most of Grand Slam singles finals Rafa has played, is he known exactly what to do when he most needed one point: with the help of a 70-30 topspin-slice serve or a heavily topspun groundstroke, make the ball kick at the dotted backhand by Roger Federer, was his usual opponent; this go to tactic not available against Djokovic, because his two-handed backhand handling high balls well, which made him a better Educational grants than Federer and less vulnerable during rallies. Novak defensive skills are better than Rogers, many important meetings during Sunday's final, Novak ran down two or three Rafa shots which would have been winners against almost any other, and when Rafa went for a more, maybe for a little too much after big shots weren't good enough, he would miss.
'S defense is a product of two important factors, reinforced by Footspeed. Member of recovery (changing direction after running down a difficult ball), is the most obvious, but the depth of his defensive shots are just as important, when most players running down one of Rafas incredible angles or deep topspins, they hit the answer somewhat brief, so that Rafa to step in and hit the next ball even more aggressivelywith less time for opponents to run it because it has less distance to travel, Novak will not only more Rafa shots, but he would often send them back deep enough to avoid deterioration in their situation, and sometimes even turn the tables on Rafa and regain offense. such reversals has been one of Rafas trademarks; Novak now has a good claim to them also.
