I think this is due to two reasons
The first: The amount of psychological pressure on him is very great to win the championship and achieve the Grand Slam championships in one year, which is a rare thing and has great importance and indicates the strength of the player’s control over an era of the game
The second: (which is the most important): the draw was completely unmerciful to the world champion, and unlike the Australian and Wimbledon lottery, which was easy and easy.
The American lottery comes to carry the player five consecutive matches, which get more difficult the more you rise to the top
Nishkori, Karatsev, Bertini, Zhivrev, Medvedev ✋🏻😲
1- Nishikori is very easy, he beats Novak and he is used to that 😀
Nishikori is always a good player and always plays long matches 4 or 5 sets, whether he plays with an unranked player or with a champion
And here we watched the match 3 and a half hours and of course a terrible physical effort on Novak
2- Karatsev is also easy because he beats Novak
But he is a tough player with strong kicks and has great confidence and Novak won this year
So it will be a difficult match and it will require a great physical effort from Novak to get out of it
3- Bertini, like this, is the kind of nonsense that wins ordinary players and achieves advanced positions, but in front of the top ranked players, he does not know how to make surprises
So this match is very guaranteed for Novak
But Bertini is a tall, strong player on hard ground, and his breath is tall and his matches are always long and tiring.
So Novak will undoubtedly be physically exhausted in this match
4- Zhfr
Novak will come to Zverev and he is physically calm
The Golden Boy is also at the highest level and his confidence in himself after he beat Novak and got gold in the Olympics
Their match together will be a marathon in the sense of the word, and the chances are equal between the two
But whoever wins will go to the final with a complete breakdown and tiredness
5- Medvedev
The draw is very easy to a large extent, and it is also good luck that Tsitsipas and Rublev are out early
His matches are very easy, except for the semi-finals, he will meet one of the respectable young players, but he will not have any problem
He will go to the final while mentally and physically satisfied
Unlike Novak (if he beats Zverev) he will go to the final while he is very tired and exhausted physically and psychologically from the difficult successive matches that he will face
In general, Novak is always accustomed to defying the odds and winning over them
But this time is really the most difficult
