US Open: Novak Djokovic’s fading body is now handing out diminishing returns
In the latest Amazon Prime documentary, "Novak Djokovic: The Wolf In Winter," the Serbian tennis champion's wife Jelena reveals her husband's constant self-doubt and perfectionism. Djokovic admits, "I am always looking to be more — better, faster, stronger," but this relentless pursuit often leaves his body struggling. The strain is evident in his 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 first-round loss at the US Open to 25-year-old Mariano Navone.
