Momentum and confidence are huge factors in tennis, but when a player ranked outside the top 100 runs up against a former U.S. Open champion like Novak Djokovic or another past champion and multiple-time Grand Slam winner like Rafael Nadal, you can throw those two factors out the window. Still, one of the best things...
