Victoria Azarenka, the Belarusian tennis player, recently commented on the comeback style of Novak Djokovic. Over the years, Djokovic has developed a reputation for making epic comebacks after a loss. Recently, he made an outstanding comeback from a loss to win the ATP Finals.

Novak’s ability after a loss to elevate his level of play and determination to win no matter what is the most underrated thing in my opinion I have seen in tennis! Congratulations on another record-breaking performance

In the Round-Robin stage of the ATP Finals, Djokovic lost against Jannik Sinner in an epic encounter where both players were at their best game. Since that loss, the 24-time Grand Slam champion shifted gears and absolutely dominated the next few matches. After an impressive performance against Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals, Djokovic displayed the same prowess against Sinner to win the title. 

Earlier in the year, Djokovic lost a tiresome and emotional Wimbledon match against Alcaraz. After that, the Serb has not lost a single tournament that he played in and broke more records than ever since then.

World No. 1, Novak Djokovic, whose semi-final qualification was in the hands of another player, made it to the finals and also managed to win it. He managed to correct all his errors and win the game effortlessly. 

I had to step it up. I had to win the matches and not wait for them to hand me the victory. I think I have tactically played different today than I have in the group stage against Jannik.
