Novak Djokovic Ponders Martin’s Mistake

Heading into next week’s Rome Masters event in Italy, Novak Djokovic will not only have to deal with the pressure of the world’s best players breathing down his neck during each and every round, but, it seems for now anyway, that the temperamental Serb will have the added hindrance of some technical difficulties on his side.
