BBC analyst Jamie Murray suggested that Novak Djokovic’s habit of hitting his leg during his Wimbledon third-round match against Arthur Rinderknech could backfire. Djokovic struck his leg 11 times while facing the French player, risking his lead but ultimately securing a hard-fought victory. Murray hinted that Djokovic might wake up with bruises the next day due to his self-inflicted blows.
During the match, Djokovic’s self-motivating tactic impressed Murray but also raised concerns about potential physical consequences. Tim Henman, another commentator, commented on Djokovic’s intense behavior, acknowledging its effectiveness in shifting momentum in the match.
Henman expressed that Djokovic’s physical condition could be a determining factor in his performance as the tournament progresses. Djokovic, after his win, addressed questions about his mental and physical state, emphasizing the unpredictability of each day in his career. He humorously mentioned his daughter’s dance lessons and expressed hopes for improved dance moves in the future.
