I am getting ready for not get hurt too much if it happens. Everything he achieves beyond his 3rd round is a plus for me.
Novak is not the favorite anymore if the shoulder problem has been there for weeks. At his age, health first. It's unfortunate since he is so ready to win #17 otherwise. But I would be OK if he calls it a tournament to deal with the shoulder issue.
Latest info considering Novak's situation.
Pain was unbearable in certain moments of the match last night, but there is impression that Novak is optimistic about his chances to make that pain bearable. All we can do now, is wait.
I don't know what to make of this. Maybe he can power through first week like that, but then Medvedev, Federer, Nadal await, for which he needs to be fully fit. We'll see.
Djokovic odds has been drifting across the sites while Nadals shortening. Some sites offering 3 for Nadal while Djokovic gone down a bit to 2.3 or so
Saw that lol. #NextGen
I mean, imagine if Novak or Rafa were saying or thinking this when they were coming up. No wonder people have no hope in next gen players.

Yeah, you are right. Its going to be a tricky one for sure. Especially if he can't recover fully. One match at the time.

He retired in cincy that year as well.
So USO19 in the bag?
He was basically smoked. Now when we look back it is crazy he gutted out that AO 2012. He should have been dead for a year after that AO.
And was 24 years old
He still is young so he can do that again. If he was past 35 then i would say his chances would go down.
He’s still the fittest of the 3, that’s for sure. But he’s no superhero, Hitman. Young Nadal could eat can of Tabasco and then beat up Fed with injured knees, but in 2018 we all saw how the knee story ended at USO.
Thats right. I think his health problems are just from years of wear and tear. His elbow is prob the weak link. Nadal has the knee. Fed the back. Etc..etc... hopfully he does not wreck his last few years. I would rather he be healthy than try and break the major record and get seriously injured.
Lol bringing back memories of that 2011 us open. He was basically just rolling in serves in that final against nadal. WTA like serves. That was epic.
Who said this?
Sasha Ozmo, a Serbian journalist that is in NYC. I think he talked with Djokovic today.
Agreed. Bringing nadal into net in that final was epic. It was so awesome a player finally got to nadal and gave him a taste of his own medicine. After 2010 i totally thought nadal was going to run the show. Took a toll on both of them tho.
Me too. I always am anal retentive on injuries. Take off come back at ao. Who cares about points. Reset. I stated after the medvedev loss that i could sense a possible valley. Wimbledon he was not in that great of form either.
AO 2012 had to be top though IMO in the end of difficulty and excitement.
