An Open letter to Djokovic

Hi Djokovic,

I am not a tennis coach , not even a player but an avid fan. I have some objections/observations from your French Open semi-final match against Federer.

1) Dude be little serious, this is semi-final. It needs a lot of concentration. Dont divert yourself by talking to your coaches, family members

2) I admire your forehand and other excellent set of shots you have in your armory, but bloke it is for the fans to admire your shots. After your excellent forehand or in general any shot, stop admiring it yourself, concentrate on how it will be returned. At this level and playing against world class players like Fed and Nadal, you can always expect that those shots will be returned. So dont be over-confident and await the return until you win the point.

3) Dont leave everything to the end of the set. Earlier in the set, say in the 1st,2nd or 3rd games, the opponent will still not be too concentrated on winning the set, so dont let the points loose at that point and try to capitulate and get a break in the earlier games, dont leave it till the end.

4) And finally you cant trust tie-breakers. It can go either ways.
