Novak Djokovic at end of long season

Novak Djokovic facing physical test

Novak Djokovic is just trying to hold on through this week at the end of a long and draining season which has resulted in the Serb putting pressure on his rivals in a press to move towards the world No. 2 ranking.

Djokovic stretched his current win streak to 11 straight matches with his late-night defeat of Nikolay Davydenko in nearly three hours at the ATP World Tour Finals.

But his upcoming group date with dangerous swede Robin Söderling has the winner of three titles in six weeks concerned about his durability.

“Generally I’m very exhausted because of the long season”, confessed Djokovic, whose weak point used to be that he had no stamina and was beset with breathing problems. “But when you have bad days and still manage to find a way to win, that’s something that is great to have in your game”.

Djokovic is coming on strong behind No. 2 Nadal, next man ahead of him in the ranking queue. But he can also see that the Spaniard is struggling to get through to the end of what for him as been a poor season.

The Serb is more concerned about playing Söderling, French Open finalist who became the first man to eve beat four-time winner Nadal at Roland Garros. “We’re gonna have a tough match, there are no easy ones here. I just hope physically I recover”.
