Reply to comment by Welshguy78 in Djokovic’s team caught on camera as ‘bizarre’ secret drink video goes viral by rookie-mistake
This is a very common tactic at the top of the game now and most players do it to regain composure with the added benefit that it breaks momentum. Nadal, Fed, Djokovic all have done it and now the next gen too. It's become accepted and not really controversial anymore. It's a mental thing not a physical thing. It's also no shock an at the time a 6 time Wimbledon champ came back to beat a first time grand slam semifinalist with 0 career grass titles. He literally came back in the quarterfinals from 2-0 down and in the final from 1-0 down. He's not to frazzled about losing a set.
