After his win in the fourth round, Novak Djokovic was asked about whether he expects Taylor Fritz, who has never beaten him, to change something in his game for tonight’s match.
💬 “I don’t think there’s going to be any major changes with Taylor, because obviously you stick to the kind of a game plan that got you to the quarters, and you know what your strengths are. You stick to those weapons, so to say, in your game, which for him obviously is serve and forehand, two big weapons in his game.
“I think over the years he has improved with his movement a lot. Backhand is also very solid, very flat. For a big guy, he moves really well. I think it’s quite underestimated how well he’s moving, and particularly the last couple years, which was something that was probably missing in his game from before.
“That’s what got him to finals and several semifinals of Grand Slams. He’s knocking on that door.
“Taylor definitely is one of the guys that no doubt has a game, has a potential to be a Grand Slam winner. He was playing finals here last year, so he was one match away, so there is no reason not to believe that he can make it. Hopefully not this year, but any other year is fine.”
