Novak Djokovic is the deserving world no.1, but like all the other players he still has to work hard to improve his tennis.
Nole is fast, “flexible” and he has achieved an incredible stamina especially after starting his gluten-free diet. This makes the Serbian to be one of the very best on baseline rallies, but there is something that he is definitely not the world no.1: his service game!
THE WEAKNESS
In 2014 Nole was just 17th in terms of 1st Serve Points won (75%) . Of course Djokovic came after the big servers, but no.17th is definitely too low for a world no.1
Things got much better on the 2nd Serve Points won with Nole ranking no.3 (56%) after Federer and Isner. This means that the Serbian can get the most out of his baseline game on 2nd serve
Break Point Saved
The most shocking stat that highlights Nole’s problem is his Break Points Saved rate. The world no.1 is just the no.21 in this specific log to save just 63% of the break point conceded.
