I watched Novak today and I have to say that he isn't in his best form by my opinion. He is struggling with shots, playing good periodically and what is most important, he still isn't in focus all the time during the match. It is good that he took participation on this tournament, his self confidence isn't on great level and playing few matches before Wimbledon could help him.but If he reach semi-finale it will be great result for him.
I agree, He's plays aren't the best compare to his games before in 2015 and 2016. I think he better enroll himself again in the academy, like what Nadal and Federer did. After the academy look at the outcome, Nadal's power became much more improve and his style became stronger. Federer's versatility increased and his accuracy improves. Being in the tournament would be great for him to regain his self confidence but confidence can't match the improved skills of all the players in the league. Still hoping that he could get back onto his prime again to breaks Federer's record.
If its Nadal v Federer then its going to be epic because both are in their ultimate forms right now.
