Djokovic has lost major qualities – Pat Cash
Twelve-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will miss the rest of the tennis season as he tries to recover from an elbow injury that forced him to retire from his Wimbledon quarter final.
His absence from next month’s US Open means he will miss a Grand Slam for the first time since making his debut in 2005.
Former Wimbledon champion and 鶹 tennis pundit Pat Cash says Djokovic “has lost major qualities” in terms of fitness and flexibility, and “it may take a while for him to get back intensity and match practice”.
