Novak Djokovic is going to do something kinda crazy in this point against Rafael Nadal - he’s going to purposely hit it short to Rafa’s forehand.
Djokovic first hits a sharp angle forehand to pull Nadal wide to his backhand. Nadal rips his backhand crosscourt, so Djokovic’s logical next shot is down the line…
But instead of hitting it deep, Novak leaves it short, which is typically unheard of. But in this instance, that means the ball has dropped by the time Nadal hits it, forcing him to hit a squash shot versus a normal topspin forehand.
