Why Novak Djokovic is difficult to beat according to Schwartzman

Novak Djokovic and Diego Sebastian Schwartzman have played each other 6 times, and the head to head is a straightforward 6-0 for the world no.1. Diego has recently stated that he prefers playing against Rafael Nadal instead of facing Djokovic if he can choose.

Diego scored just 5 games (6-3 6-2) against Djokovic on Monday when playing in the round-robin of the ATP Finals.

After the match, Diego commented:

“Everything is difficult against him. I think what he is doing when he is playing his best is that he is moving the ball from everywhere to everywhere on the court. It is very difficult to know what he is going to do and try to make good points (against him). He’s moving the ball, doing winners and has a lot of talent when he has the chance to move the ball.”
