'It can ruin Novak Djokovic' former ATP star breaks silence

Novak Djokovic is six wins away from the completion of the 'Calendar Grand Slam', something that's only been achieved by Rod Laver in the Open Era. Speaking to Sky Sports, former ATP ace Marcos Baghdatis has talked about the 20-time Grand Slam champion.
"With that said, the mental part of his game can be so strong, but at the same time it can ruin him,"Baghdatis said.   "We saw that in the Olympics and we saw that at last year's US Open. I think Novak Djokovic's putting in so much energy and so much work on his mental aspect that sometimes, every now and again he has a burst of anger or frustration.   I think it happens because he works so hard."
The Cypriot believes Djokovic can keep on playing for another five years because of his attention to every detail of his fitness.
"He (Novak Djokovic) does everything off the court so well, from his nutrition to his fitness," Baghdatis said.   "The guy has everything to keep on playing for the next five years. It's the mental side where he can sometimes have these bursts, but for me, it's really understandable." 
  Nole is currently looking forward to winning the fourth and final Grand Slam of the season.   Source - tennisworldusa Follow us on Twitter!
