Simon recently released his book, ‘Ce sport qui rend fou (This sport makes you crazy)’ in which he criticizes the French tennis system of tennis coaching. He also speaks extensively about Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the book, the excerpts of which have been released periodically over the last couple of months.
Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic play their strongest shot at the important moments: Gilles Simon
Gilles Simon went on to explain that the French system focuses on improving the weaker parts of a player’s game. But that, according to the former World No. 6, is counterproductive, and he cited the example of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet to prove his point.
Simon believes that the top players such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic rely on their biggest weapons at critical junctures in a match, rather than use their spruced-up weaker areas.
