Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have clashed against each other for the last 15 years on every court. However, the Serbian sensation seems to have found the solution against Roger, especially when competing in slams and when playing tiebreaks.
There was a very interesting stats reported over twitter stating that in the last 6 tiebreaks played between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, the Serbian committed just 1 unforced error vs. Federer’s 19.
Former world no.1 and tennis legend Chris Evert said that this stat is the confirmation of Novak’s mental superiority to say:
“No words… that’s impossible to imagine…but, that’s why Novak is so mentally superior…”
