In this week's mailbag, SI senior writer Jon Wertheim discusses the very talented and eccentric Novak Djokovic. While a star on the court, Djokovic has a unique worldview that sets him apart from his peers. The state of the U.S. Open is also discussed in this week's Mailbag.

Video Transcript:

This week, we talk a bit about Novak Djokovic, what's happened with him, and I make the point that for a player who is so steady and so balanced when he plays tennis - he sure gets himself in a lot of awkward positions and sometimes gets caught flat-footed away from tennis. So whether it's his remarks that he's anti-vax, or whether it's his theory that positive energy can improve water quality. We talk about how it is that Novak Djokovic gets himself into this position. One point I think we should bring up is sometimes we lament that athletes are so polished and so corporatized and so bland. You have to hand it to Novak Djokovic. One thing, he is not is bland. 

We also talk about the state of tennis media. We talk about some doubles and we talk about what it will take for this 2020 U.S. Open to go off as planned.
