• After one of the most dominant stretches in tennis history, Novak Djokovic fell into a major slump in 2017 that threatened his status in tennis.
• Djokovic had to get surgery on an elbow that was giving him trouble, but he also made several other key changes, from a change to his serve, a racket change, to mental changes.
• With two recent wins, including one at Wimbledon, Djokovic appears to be on the rebound and says he wouldn't change anything from the tumultuous journey.

Novak Djokovic was dominating tennis until he wasn't.

His 2015 season, considered one of the best in men's history, included wins at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open, a final loss in the French Open, and wins in seven ATP Masters 1000 events.
