Novak Djokovic has been missing in action for the past two or so years, after winning his first French Open title. But it seems that the king of flexibility Mr. Novak is back, and after flexing his way to the Rome semifinal and absolutely annihilating Dutra Silva in the round of 128. But can he carry on this momentum.

After Novak destroys Munar, he’ll have to face off against Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round, and most likely Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round. Djokovic would only meet a threat in the semifinals of Thiem managed to make it that far. And then, the finals would feature Rafael Nadal, and you never know what’s gonna happen in that match. Djokovic served well against Dutra Silva, hitting 70% of his first serves and winning 73% of those points. And we all know that his serve is crucial to his success. Not as much as Murray, but it still matters.

I’ve been watching some of Novak’s matches and to be honest his form against Nadal looked closer to peak than ever before. He’s getting every ball back deep, and is moving well. He just needs a little bit of confidence. His forehand seems a bit too spiny, and he needs to start flattening it out if he wants to beat the better players.

Only time will tell. Hopefully the king of the Australian Open returns stronger and fitter than ever.
