Novak Djokovic vs Olivier Rochus | Wimbledon 2010 first round | Full Match

[@MiraxZorro]

In hindsight, 2010 Wimbledon was so strange. Prior to it, Federer was the man (even if he lost in 2008, it was still close). After 2010, Novak was the man (aside from losses in 2012 and 2013, but he was still in the SF and F). 2016 Fed and Novak were injured. This was the only Wimbledon where they were healthy and both went out early (for their standards). Rafa capitalized.

[@Aman-nk5uq]

Yupp strange Wimbledon

[@faizadznir]

Yup, and the reason why both Djokovic and Federer got eliminated was due to an inspired Berdych beating both of them back to back. Even more strange is that 2010 Wimbledon was the only time Berdych ever reached a Grand Slam final in his entire career, so he certainly peaked highest during this tournament

[@guydixon231]

Djokovic won this one just a minute before the curfew. Went on to reach SFs before losing poorly to Berdych. Probably the most dramatic day one of Wimbledon ever on Centre Court with play starting at 1PM and finishing at 10:59pm. 2010 was also the year of Isner v Mahut, so little did they know what was to happen.

[@ErikCB912]

Also don’t forget that earlier that day before this match Federer almost lost to Falla. And later that week there were the back to back Nadal comebacks against Haase and Petzschner.

[@james-vx7nv]

@@ErikCB912 @Guy Dixon this has to be the greatest Day 1 at Wimbledon of all time. Federer almost losing but finding a way through in 5, then Djokovic surviving from 2 sets to 1 down, clinching the win with 1 minute to spare before curfew would have forced them off. They would have stopped play at 5-3 no question. How crazy would that have been. Centre Court ticket holders got their moneys worth that day zero question. Two GOATs playing 5 sets and seeing the maximum possible tennis. Started on time, ended 1 min before the curfew would have stopped play.

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

In 2010 people didn't even think that Novak could win any more slam(s) after the 2008 Australian Open. And even if he did, they never thought he could win even 4-5 more slams. Scary how he won 20+ majors from 2011 onward to 2022, more than Federer and Nadal's total win of grand slam titles combined in that span of time.

Djokovic´s game and mentality has changed a lot after 2010

[@pareshmokani]

We see him tiring a lot. I think it was due to his gluten problem. The moment it was figured out, he became the best player in the world. There were never questions on his game, it was his fitness that changed remarkably. I hope I am not wrong. Regards

[@bramvalkenburg5655]

Djokovic was a great player already but people saying that his game did not change in and after 2011... he played with more variety in 2010 and that is not his strong suit, even if he is capable of doing that. Mechanically though, he is the strongest player ever to play the game.

[@jonathanb1406]

I feel like above all he just tightened up the aspects of his game that were already there. Groundstrokes and serve go more consistent and reliable, able to move players around from side to side at will, consistently able to hit with depth. It's interesting watching matches from like 07-10 to see all the components there but not quite stitched together fully yet.

[@SuperIsaacVideos]

Wonder why the NextGen lose in the first rounds of slams so often? There's a confidence and clarity to real champions under pressure that they just don't have. This match is a perfect example. Look at the end of the fourth set. Djokovic has been losing forehand cross-court rallies. Djokovic pulls a short angle cross-court winner at 15-40. Rochus then misses his chance with a sitter backhand. And then Djokovic shuts the door with three aces in four points - despite his serve sputtering and misfiring all match long. 2-2, 15-40 In the fifth is another example. At the end of a grueling rally, Djokovic decides to come to the net. Why? Confidence. He then makes a technically poor but utterly brilliant drop volley to break Rochus. The match is over. The NextGen just don't have this kind of strength under pressure. They don't have that lightning in a bottle that Djokovic and the Big Three have.
