Novak Djokovic says yes, he knows who Gumby is. And despite their shared characteristic of elasticity, he doesn’t like the comparison. He might not like it, says the New York Times, but it’s a description that’s lobbed at him by everyone who watches him play. The 26-year-old Serb has become known for his “quickness; power; tactical acumen; excellent technique and, in recent years, considerably improved endurance,” as much as for his twists, turns and splits.
