Everything looking good for a Finals vs Sinner to avenge the Australian Open beatdown.

Djoker says Monte Carlo club is near and dear to his heart.

I am guessing you did not watch the match today to see how physically troubled Djokovic looked. He was bending over totally breathless after almost every long rally and then using ice packs on his head with a pained expression on his face during many changeovers even though it wasn’t hot. There is a reason he said it was ugly.

I don’t think he is 100% healthy yet - seems to have respiratory issues and heat regulation issues still. I think it is going to be tough for him to win against two more elite clay players this week in this kind of health - hopefully he is in better shape in Rome and Paris.

Did not see the match but Djoker says this tournament has been tough for him for last 10 years. He says opponent ADM is the fastest player on tour. Said it was a physical battle for both of them. Have to be impressed with a win over a young Top 10 speedster.

Djoker wants the Monte Carlo trophy.

ADM is also one of the flattest hitters in the top 20 and beating him on clay is easier than on other surfaces. He is not one of the top 10 clay players in the world unlike the next two opponents.

His best chance was MC 2019.
Qf against Med, Semi against Dusan but he lost in qf

Djokovic isn't anywhere close to the form that he needs to be in if he wants to actually win this. He has phoned in his last few matches, only the first match was good.

He is only thinking of Paris. He could easily lose here to anyone.

Is it possible we are seeing new tennis levels that the old guard is naturally being phased out ??

Ruud is higher ranked than Tsitsipas. And what happened to your favourite Sinner? Still learning clay?
Very odd that Sinner has not yet learned to play on clay given that Italians grow up on clay.
:unsure:

Ruud has never beaten big 3 before but Stef has beaten them multiple times. Sinner has learned to play on clay and I am not losing my sleep untill he loses at RG. I would have left forum in shame had Simner lost to Ruud after I hyped him lol :rolleyes:

This is what I’m talking about, skip the clay.

These Masters tournaments can be useful as preparation for RG even if he does not win them, playing daily with no gap is a better preparation for slams than skip them and directly arrive for slams, that won't work, he has enrolled in these tournaments since he wants RG and that lame Olympics medal.

Lame Serbian politicians lack the wisdom to counsel Djokovic to skip the lame Davis Cup, United Cup, and Olympics.

Yeah, the GOAT has secured all 5 major category records, so everything from now on is just a bonus for Nolefams. But further slam success would really make the haters squirm the most, LOL.

Why would Serbian politicians ask Djokovic to skip Olympics ? Are they djokovic bots to do so? Do you think their lives revolve around being happy with Nole's personal slams success ?

Lmao, told you he has the most cringe fans lol

Yes, very cringe but it is possible that he is a 20-22 year old boy who idolizes his national hero Djokovic, so these kind of posts could be expected maybe. However it is still weird to think that govt will ask him to skip olympics, it should be common sense that politicians will want best athletes to play, they will only persuade him to play, not dissuade.

Djoker does not appear to be well. Constantly rubbing his face. Have never seen him like this.
Something is seriously wrong... but still managed to get within a game of a final.

Beaten? He's never won a set off of a top 3 player before he took two from Djokovic.

The passing of the torch to a younger generation didn't go smoothly:

"At the end of the match when there was a certain tension, a spectator placed in the boxes of the stand facing the club and with his back to the sea deemed it useful to insult Novak Djokovic who lost the point. This did not please the Serb who became angry and did not mince his words."

And no warning then.

Yep, it's a well-known fact that Djoko has anger management issues.
