Novak has tuned out past criticism, now playing fearless with an attitude emphasizing, nothing to loose. Djokovic has now won the past three Grand Slam Titles (US Open, Wimbledon, Australian Open), and looks to continue his success at Wimbledon as well. The Serbian is on a mission without a shadow of a doubt, but in his way stands the greatest Wimbledon Champion of all time in Roger Federer. Novak has already issued a couple of wins against Federer, as Djokovic has beat Roger 4 out of 5 in the previous grand slams. Some believe despite all the success, the Serbian may not have enough to claim a early drivers seat against the man of Swiss. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are both on a mission to win the Wimbledon Title. To see Novak and Federer square off in a match of pure will and hunger adds this match to collection to the Wimbledon archive of historical matches. On any given day these two can pull a needle out of a hay stack. The variations by which Roger has dominated with, to Djokovic's lethal ground strokes and consistency creates a interesting contest. Although, many give the green light to Djokovic in winning this match due to the prior victories he has defeated Federer. The intensity level and anticipation level for this epic event, will be a heart pounding and explosive until the very end. It's amazing how Novak Djokovic has adapted his game to now being able to change the ball direction with ease. Novak ground strokes are bigger than ever, and many forget his improvement on his service game. Novak pounds the ball with every stroke along side with the improved footwork to top it off. As quite intimidating as the Serbian may sound, still may not be a match for the proven legend. Roger Federer has been quite the dictator of tennis since Pete Sampras. The finesse of the racket swung by the Swiss creates lots of problems for any opposing contender. Federer is the master of the mental game, and owns the centre court at Wimbledon. We all have seen over the past few years the dominance in Rogers all around tennis game. The ability to be flawless in every area of tennis both defensive and offensive tactics clearly allows him to be able to play for quite sometime. For Roger, it's a simple case of moving Novak around the court, and making sure he keeps the backhand slice low. Djokovic will be looking to pound every ball in his strike zone, as well as test Rogers conditioning with his age. Roger needs to mix up his ball direction on his serves, into the body of Novak to allow for easy winners. Both players have been tested and have proved they are literally capable of any and everything on the court to walk out victorious.
A historical match indeed, providing each come out with one goal and a will to win. The clash of the Serbian and the experienced Swiss remains to be decided in who will win, "The Battle of the Thrown".
