Yesterday, I tuned in the Rogers Cup Men’s Final via ESPN. In the interview prior to the match Nisikori mentioned he would employ patience with aggression. What does that mean and how was he going to execute the strategy. Don’t ask Chris, Patrick or Brad, they didn’t have a clue. Instead of talking about problem solving and adjusting to Djokovic’s game, the team talked about past matches. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear an analyst come up with a thesis as to how to beat Nole? Did any of the announcers go back and view the match Kei beat Novak? I bet not. At least that would be a starting point as to how Kei would play the match yesterday. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future success. There were times Kei demonstrated his aggression successfully, unfortunately for him they were too few against #1. With all the analytics available, analysts should be able to articulate a plausible game plan and give insights to what each player is attempting to accomplish. In my mind, Cahill does it better than all the others.
