It’s no secret that 23-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic has changed the modern game with his unbelievable shot making. He achieves supreme coverage by sliding around all corners of the tennis court with control and balance - even on a hard court.
Much of this technique was developed on the mountains where a young Djokovic, on ski holidays with his family and professional skier father, honed his now trademark slide and splits antics from the slopes to the slams. “I skied alot when I was a kid and also competed in a few races. That was one aspect that helped me with mobility. I also played outside alot on uneven surfaces which helped challenge my joints to be more adaptable”, explained the tennis ace at the ASICS Tennis Summit.
