Four instances when Novak Djokovic lost his cool

#2 Wimbledon 2018

Novak Djokovic

During the Wimbledon heat, Novak Djokovic lost his cool in the middle of his quarterfinal clash against Japanese Kei Nishikori. The Serb grew increasingly frustrated when the second set was not going to plan. He had as many as four break point opportunities in two service games alone and in frustration bounced his racquet off the ground. His frustration even led him to an argument with the chair umpire. Djokovic’s frustration prevented him from playing his usual tennis as he succumbed under pressure to hand Nishikori the second set.

However, Nishikori tried his best to make a sterling comeback into the match but a rejuvenated Djokovic kept his calm and managed to grind out games in the third set. He managed to continue the same in the fourth set as well as he saw off a spirited Nishikori in four sets. The Serb was charged up and little did he know that in a few days time he would lift his fourth Wimbledon crown.
