He was tired, this is what he said:
"The other hand, I was just below par with my game. My legs were not there. I was trying. I did my best. Yeah, I made a lot of unforced errors. I didn't have -- no serve really."
Do you want me to translate the meaning of "my legs were not there"?

Expect him to win but he failed to win because he was drained.Nope, we've seen Novak 'drained' many times, eg this yr AO yet he only
lost 1 set whole tournament lol. If calendar slam wasn't on the line
Novak would have found a way to grind Medvedev down even if he was very tired. He just couldn't get the significance of a calendar slam out of
his mind to be able to perform to his normal level. Age had fuck all to
do with it, he's 2 years older today ffs and coulda almost won calendar
slam this yr.

For goodness sake, you're pulling out a 2013 interview with John McEnroe of all people? First of all, Federer went on to win slams after 2013. He wasn't washed up. Secondly, John McEnroe is insufferable. Talk about projecting, he's the master. He was

presents a massive mental hurdle to any player - even super tough players like the above.Agree with this. We have seen both Djokovic and Serena fall with the CYGS in their sights. The main reason the CYGS is so much harder than the NCYGS is not that you get less opportunities but because of the huge prestige and significance which theExpect him to win but he failed to win because he was drained.Nope, we've seen Novak 'drained' many times, eg this yr AO yet he only lost 1 set whole tournament lol.

I think that's a really good description of the observable details of an aging player. It describes what I started to see in Rafa a few years back--not quite there, reaching more and more often, with the resultant drop in consistency.
It's what I'm beginning to see in Djok.

Serena failed vs (in theory) inferior opponent.Djoker lost to Meds who at HC is proven tier1
