Moratoglu: I bet on Ding to win Sina, but he satisfies everything without sharpness and fighting spirit

The famous tennis coach Moratoglu recently talked about this year's French Open men's singles semi-finals in an interview. He believes that in that game, Djokovic lost because of his subtle changes in his mentality. The Serbs did not show the willpower and determination to win in that game. In this year's French Open semi-final, Djokovic, who was determined to win the 25th Grand Slam championship, lost three sets in a row and lost to Sina. During the game, the Serbians seemed helpless in the first two sets and could not pose any substantial threat to Sina for most of the time of the game. In the third set, he seemed to have changed the situation through tactics and seized the opportunity, but after the leading Djokovic wasted his advantage, he eventually lost the third set.

For such a game, it is generally believed that Djokovic only lost to time, so there is no criticism of this loss except sighing.

But Moratoglu questioned this conclusion, and he believed that Djokovic still had the ability to defeat Sina in terms of his top strength, and he had always believed it.

"In terms of physical fitness and technology, he is still at the top." Moratoglu emphasized, "I firmly believed that he would defeat Sina before the game. In the past countless times, he has staged a good reversal in similar and very difficult situations, and he can always find the key to defeating the enemy."

However, in Moratoglu's view, the winning and losing balance of this key battle does not depend on the level of skills. "Besides being able to win this peak duel, mentality really determines destiny."

Moratoglu said that in this game, he saw the most changes in Djokovic's temperament on the court. He admitted: "Djokovic seemed to have invisibly accepted the reality of being controlled by Sina. The Djokovic, who we are extremely familiar with, roaring in adversity, is gone."

What surprised the famous coach even more was Djokovic's body language on the court - the smile to the team when facing difficulties and the attitude of enjoying the game atmosphere, are completely different from him in the past.

"You know, he was once a beast who was desperate and desperate to win the battle." Moratoglu described nostalgically, "The victory and loss at that time were a matter of life and death for him." He continued, "You know, in the same venue in the Olympic final, he was once a bull who won at all costs. At that time, victory and loss were indeed related to life and death, but proving himself as the strongest in the world was his source of motivation, especially when fans supported Federer and Nadal."

Moratoglu believed that the key factor in determining Djokovic's transformation was that he had gradually satisfied the achievement of "the greatest player in history", and this also quietly changed his inner driving force now.

"The desire to prove that he is the strongest in the world was once his core engine, especially in the years when Federer and Nadal won the love of fans around the world, this unwilling stubbornness was his most powerful weapon." Moratoglu commented.

Morato Gru admitted that for a long time, he had been eager to prove that he had become the source of power for Djokovic to continue to surpass his limits. Now, he has gradually lost his sharp spirit. He no longer has the determination and fighting spirit to win on the court. He seems to be slowly admitting that he is no longer the ruler of the tennis world today.

In fact, Moratoglu's words are not unreasonable. Last year, when the outside world was not optimistic about Djokovic's Olympic journey, Djokovic almost defeated Alcalas in the final with his willpower and tenacity. Djokovic now does not lack the ability to defeat others, but what he lacks seems to be such a desperate belief and determination. At the French Open this year, many people can see that Djokovic, who won the 100-year championship, has been in a new state. Many people think that he is ready to win the 25th championship, but in this semi-final, he does seem to have been destroyed.

Recently, Sina's coach, Cahill's words seem to confirm Morato Gru's words.

Before the grass season, Cahill said in an interview that even now, Djokovic will send himself a message and tell him how to keep improving Sina's level. He said, "Novak said to me, hey, listen. I wish you a great work with him. His batting was great, but lacked change. So you know his batting lacked regularity, he didn't cross the net enough, and he couldn't hit the net at all. He didn't try to limit my attack, I know he returned the ball well, but he didn't attack my serve when he received it. So he explained the whole game and broke it down. It's not that we didn't know enough about Sina and we tried to change it. Change his style of playing. But when you sit down and chat with a young man like Sina and say 'Hey, listen, I just talked to Novak, he thought so', it has a great impact on a young man like Sina."

From these words, we can see that it seems that Djokovic has gradually watched his competitive relationship with Sina, and the former king of football seems to have acquiesced to Sina's dominance. But the problem is, when Djokovic said in front of the media time and again that he would not retire and even wanted to defend the Los Angeles Olympic gold medal, how to reignite the flames in his heart will be a new issue Djokovic is facing now.
