Mailbag: The Irony of Novak Djokovic

Let’s start with a catch-all.

For a guy who hasn’t played a match since February—and hasn’t lost a match in 2020—it’s been a busy spring for Novak Djokovic. He’s tallied some breathtaking winners and made ghastly unforced errors. He’s gone deep with my pal, Graham Bensinger. (Everyone should watch this.) He’s been all over social media.
