I don't think Aslan will get pass Chardy.I really think Karatsev can beat Zverev if both reach the QF's

Aslan in first round was awesomeI don't think Aslan will get pass Chardy.
Yes I saw it. But in his case it's no guarantee for future success. He was really struggling against Chardy at Wimby.Aslan in first round was awesome
This was his first atp level grass season for him so he can't move like he moves on hcYes I saw it. But in his case it's no guarantee for future success. He was really struggling against Chardy at Wimby.
Whatever happened to Glassikori? Did they temper the glass?Kei knocks out Rublev.
Am personally fine with skate boarding being included it does require hours of physical training after all, but draw the line when gaming is called e-sports (it definitely ain't a sport) and is a medal event with mainstream sports.
It was a medal event at the Asian games.
Must be tight.Since when does Millman being so loud.
His mother is Japanese so he easily qualifies. Just like Norrie's qualification for GB as his parents are British.Nishikori is playing doubles with a guy named Ben McLachlan. Born and raised in New Zealand. Still lives in New Zealand. Educated at UC Berkeley. lol.

he's a mental midget. don't worryWhy do I feel that Struff will win today
I think us Djokovic fans know at somepoint the run will end but just hopefully not for a little while yet hahahe's a mental midget. don't worry
He said yesterday that he was excited to draw Djokovic and feels that he can beat himhe's a mental midget. don't worry
Nahhh there’s a reason he’s never beat any of the Big 3 (or Murray come to think of it).Why do I feel that Struff will win today
That’s confidence by the German. Struff must know something we don’t. I guess the pressure of always being favourite and all these guys having nothing to lose will catch Novak out at somepoint. The best 3 format is more of a concern for this match and rest of the week too.He said yesterday that he was excited to draw Djokovic and feels that he can beat him
He attacks any ball right now and is successful with it in the beginning. But very soon there will be a service game filled with errors and it will be over.Why do I feel that Struff will win today
His chances are better over best of 3 sets. I guess all it takes is one guy this week or struff to get that first set than Djokovic is in a bit of trouble. Still Novak the favourite but eventually some player will just play very well and freely and that could be the difference over best of 3.Nahhh there’s a reason he’s never beat any of the Big 3 (or Murray come to think of it).
His mobility is not good enough and he’ll tire before Djokovic does. Could cause some issues early but he doesn’t have the top level game to actually pull off the upset.

I actually don't think Djokovic wins the Olympics personally (but am not going to advertise it).His chances are better over best of 3 sets.

Do you think this hard court surface suits his game?Djoker is hitting super hard today, like Doha 2016 kinda hard.
Yeah I agree. I have a that feeling too. It’s just this event has always deserted him and he does want it a lot which comes with pressure too. Like you say a tricky draw with big hitters, best of 3 and combined with brutal conditions makes it a tough assignment for djoker this week. I hope he pulls it off but the rest of field have more chances in this format with these conditions for sure.I actually don't think Djokovic wins the Olympics personally (but am not going to advertise it).
That 3 day stretch for a 34 year old coming off Wimbledon two weeks ago is so difficult, especially in what looks like hot and humid conditions aka Djokovic's kryptonite. He'll likely have Karatsev or Zverev in the 3rd match in a row and both of them have the power and retrieval ability to really push Djokovic physically... I honestly see Djokovic losing there but have definitely been wrong before.
I don't know yet, I'd need to see him play against a top player. It's very AO-like, so I expect top performance from him.Do you think this hard court surface suits his game?
He's one of the trickiest players in the early rounds, big game, big serve. No seed would like to play him. Djokovic is very unlucky here, he should be playing Galans and Nagals of the world now like Zed and Med lol.Why do I feel that Struff will win today
I can’t see this game live but the early stats from both players here is impressive. They both started off at a high level. We will see if it continuesI don't know yet, I'd need to see him play against a top player. It's very AO-like, so I expect top performance from him.
Yes, Djokovic being such a great server now is the main reason why he is a better player than during his mythical “peak“ that some people don’t want to accept being right now, because it just “cannot be” at age 34.Djokovic with 8 aces in 4 service games lol
again this is Struff’s issue he doesn’t have mobility. That being said this S&V game is actually giving Novak more trouble than I thought. Prime Pete to destroy Djokovic confirmed? It seems so
Didn’t expect it to be honest. As struff was serving well. Still great for Djokovic and us fans. He played a solid set overall and used his chances well. Hopefully he can kick on now. Still has to be careful though.Lol Struff self destructs
Lol Struff self destructs
As soon as he went down 0-15 I would have bet my entire savings he lost the game and set. There's something in the eyes that just told me he broke internally.Lol Struff self destructs
Struff forgot to challenge the last one though.Djokovic hit four aces in that service game. @Nuclear Warhead

Talk about Precision.
Struff forgot to challenge the last one though.
Didn’t stop him in that game before (twice).Plumb on the line. No need to review.
I'm not gonna go that far, Nole Slam-level '15/16 Djokovic was definitely a better player than this in my opinion. 2016 AO and 15 Wimbledon would probably have little issue beating the 2021 versions of Djokovic that played at those tournaments.Yes, Djokovic being such a great server now is the main reason why he is a better player than during his mythical “peak“ that some people don’t want to accept being right now, because it just “cannot be” at age 34.
Yeah it going great so far but still he needs to remain the focus on serve.Just hold serve now Novak!
Honestly, he only had it difficult to win RG (but against really good opposition) and the AO match he was injured in against Fritz.I'm not gonna go that far, Nole Slam-level '15/16 Djokovic was definitely a better player than this in my opinion. 2016 AO and 15 Wimbledon would probably have little issue beating the 2021 versions of Djokovic that played at those tournaments.
But yeah his serves, especially serve placement, and volleys/net game are really quite good these days and provide him with a get out of jail free card. Tactically you feel he picks his moments whereas 2012-14 Djokovic just kind of played the same way all match and eventually would tire out or lose focus from the baseline. I think the actual level of tennis 2021 Djokovic plays is disrespected around here for sure. It's not just weak era mugs lol.
It’s like you knew it was gonna happen. As we watch him that many times haha.Yikes got broken jeez
Nahh I just bet on him to win 2-0 in this match so am watching more attentively than usual. I do prefer the Big 3 in general to everyone else though.Honestly, he only had it difficult to win RG (but against really good opposition) and the AO match he was injured in against Fritz.
At Wimbledon this year he wasn’t in danger of losing at all. So it looks like he gets even better now for the final part of the season.
But you are his fan I think and I am not (however, I respect his achievements and to some degree I want a Golden Slam to happen). So it’s understandable that you’ll be more nervous and doubtful about his current form.
