"Its interesting they're taking that off-court break. I think Novak is the greatest player with the ability to reset of any player I've watched," he said.<\/p>\n

\"Djokovic<\/p>\n

"He can leave the court, or (his opponent) leave it and he takes that time to refocus so well.<\/p>\n

"I thought Medvedev was playing himself back into that set well then, after dropping that first service game it was actually quite tight tennis.<\/p>\n

"This first game is so crucial for Medvedev, but Novak can go into that lock on his own very well after a break."<\/p>\n
