Filippo Volandri, the Davis Cup selector of the Italian national team, spoke before the match with Serbia and pointed out that Novak Djokovic is dangerous when he is angry.
he duel with Serbia will be played today at 12 o’clock, and Djokovic will play in the second singles against Jannik Sinner.
Novak already had a conflict with the fans.
“Are the fans against him? He has gotten used to it by now and knows how to manage in this situation: when we see him flat during the match, he is just a player, if he starts breaking rackets or arguing with the fans, then he changes speed and we have to worry more”, pointed out Volandri.
“From the point of view of growth, it is ideal for Janik to face Djokovic again, first of all to understand where he is at and what he still needs to do in order to reach that level. For our team, however, the balance is changing. Against Serbia, there will be two very difficult singles and an accessible doubles, while against Britain it would be the opposite. We will act and evaluate accordingly,” said Volandri and added:
“Tennis is like a game of chess, the third match will be the result of the other two and maybe at an even higher level. Jannik knows that he will have to give more if he wants to win, but Nole also knows that he will have to give his best”.
