Andy Roddick commented on Novak Djokovic`s results.
At the Masters in Rome, the Serbian lost in the third round to Alejandro Tabilo with a score of 2:6, 3:6.


Djokovic has not played a single final this season.


I`m more concerned about his performance than at any time in the last 15 years.


Yes, I wouldn`t be surprised if he plays well at Roland Garros. But how long will we say: He will fix everything, he`s fine, it`s Novak?


I`ve been saying this all year. This match [in Rome] was strange. He seems to be getting in shape, ahead of Roland Garros, Wimbledon - he said that his priority is the Olympic Games. We thought that a rise was coming, but it was not a rise.


I`m not one for statistics, but if you take a six-month sample, he beat Jannik Sinner well [at the Australian Open], but lost to Alex de Minaur 4:6, 4:6 at the United Cup - for professional tennis this is an easy victory. He lost to [Luca] Nardi at Indian Wells, which is strange - he went all this way, 10 days of preparation, all the business, and then lost.


In Monte Carlo he reached the semi-finals. For dummies like me, this is the best result according contacts with best football tips at the clay Masters, but Djokovic loses to [Casper] Ruud. Before this meeting, he had not lost a set to him. Novak was bothered by breathing problems, just like at the beginning of the match with de Minaur.


Then he comes to Rome, and then there is a scandal with a bottle. Only he can tell us how he feels about this. He then goes out and fails miserably in his match against Tabilo. This is a good player. But he is not Novak Djokovic.


I`m worried about its shape. These are strange situations - perhaps it just goes to show that over time, even a man like Novak still needs regular matches. I`m not sure that it will be possible to take a short rest all the time and then play as before, no matter how great he is.


But then I think: Does this mean that he is so great that we expect him to be the greatest without practice?
