    Yes, his motivation and hunger would have been building while on the
    sidelines. We'll never know the answer, but I wonder if these bans have
    helped sharpen Novak's game and prolonged his career? Novak seems to
    thrive on adversity, from being considered a 3rd wheel when Fed/Rafa
    were around to his vax stance. He wants to prove everyone wrong as he's
    always maligned in the media. Tennis is the most democratic of all
    sports, it's 1 on 1 and you can win a match no matter what anyone thinks
    - it's all up to you to get it done. If you win you are the man, it's
    not a subjective measure like PWL types want it to be : )

    I think so. He's at his worst when in a big match against tier 2s he's
    expected to win 9/10.

    were around to his vax stance.  He wants to prove everyone wrong as he's always maligned in the media.

    He creates causes for anger on court too. He puts himself into a lull
    when things are going too well, then finds a way to get angry to get out
    of the lull. I guess that's what poor Ivanisevic is there for. I hope he
    gets paid.
