You’re very fair usually but you know he wasn’t celebrating the overhead.

This is a good point.
But I still think Novak wasn't necessarily cheering the smash itself. I have seen him do it plenty of times on his opponent's errors before, though, one earlier in this match.

He had plenty of those points today where he scrambled to remain in the point and won when Brooksby finally sailed one. That's fine.
But despite scrambling in this point, he was never in it. He didn't win it with defense. Brooksby was in control for 100% of that point and missed the easiest shot possible. That's not Novak forcing the issue. Brooksby should make that shot 10/10 times.

What a garbage match. This whole tournament has been such a let down. Watching Novak just mop up the slams after his competitors are well past their prime in broken bodies. Looks like robot tennis is all we have left for the foreseeable future.

I think the crowd has been pretty fair today. They are rooting for their home boy of course but they did respect Novak though and give him his due when he played good points.

Yeah but the crowd is never cheering his errors either. They’re cheering the opportunity the error opens for his opponent.

Yeah I don't think he was specifically cheering the smash in a condescending way or anything, he was cheering winning the point. Still not a good look. Don't want to hear his fanbase whine about decorum and then think him fistpumping there is epic.

You're probably right. Berretini will be 4 sets probably. Zverev could go 5-6 hours who knows, then you got Med there with a bye to the finals basically and fully rested.

Better excuse than I didn’t realize I had to cut out the bagels and I can’t keep my stuff in my pants so I had to fire my team and replace them with a self-help guru. Just sayin’.

The horrendous crowd finally gets the boob thrust!
I guess Joe Kovic realizes he really needs them on his side now that he will finally play top 50 players and it will be three top 10 dudes if chalk holds. Big step up!

Djokovic showed championship caliber strength tonight. Really played poorly for a set and a half and couldn't find his timing at all from the ground, and then started slicing and mixing it up, buying himself some time and then the timing started coming into his game slowly. Weathered the storm of a strong challenge from Brooksby and in those 2nd and 3rd sets, had lots of tough long rallies and then just wore him down. I have to say I thought he played bad early on but he really pulled it together in the 2nd half of the match.

Novak just played the Berretini Open at Wimbledon, how can Novak fans keep memeing Rafa’s USOs with a straight face?

Looks like Boobsby just became Boobsbye. Sorry.
That's the one thing I'd change about him, even over the overhead.

I think Brooksby learned what the whole tour knows. Playing two sets against Novak is like playing 4 sets against everyone else.

Yeah, it's weird. He's had the same coach since age 7 too. Fix that serve, and skies the limit.

I'm curious as to why you say that. What is it about Sinner that you dislike?

But the elbow issue that knocked him out of commission for 2 years doesn't count, of course.
