2010 US Open 3rd Round - James Blake (USA) vs (3) Novak Djokovic (SRB)

[Awesome]

So let me get this right. If you live in the states and don't have the Tennis Channel, there's no way to watch this match except on some crappy stream?

Except for the fact that it's actually a pretty good stream, yeah pretty much.

 

[OddJack]

Blake..throw the alien out of your house

 

[Ripster]

Even with Djokovic playing supposedly his worst tennis according to some people - he'll win in straights.

Djokovic in 3 sets.

 

[sdont]

Hasn't it started already?

Hasn't it started already?

Just got underway

 

[thejoe]

Couple of big returns from James and a couple of errors. Sums his game up! Is exciting though

 

[Mustard]

BP Blake.......

 

[thejoe]

Huge 2nd serve ace to save break point! Followed by a massive return from James.

 

[Mustard]

Djokovic holds, 1-0.

 

[shadows]

Djokovic holds, an early break could have made things interesting.

Still pretty windy.

 

[Mustard]

BP Djokovic

 

[Nadalfan89]

Djokovic BP

 

[Telepatic]

Yup. Early break made it interesting. lol

 

[Mustard]

Djokovic breaks, 2-0.

 

[shadows]

Blake making error after error and gets broken.

 

[Nadalfan89]

early break....this is over

 

[Rock Strongo]

Djokovic holds, an early break could have made things interesting.

Still pretty windy.

Speaking of "early break", Djokovic just broke Blake's serve.

 

[Awesome]

Bah. This isn't going to help his confidence.

 

[rodrigoamaral]

cheering for blake here but see djokovic winning in straight

 

[Telepatic]

up 3-0 Nole

 

[sdont]

That was quick for a 3-0 lead.

 

[Tony48]

No offense to Blake but if Djokovic EVER lost to Blake at this point in Blake's career, maybe Djokovic is the one that should be considering retirement

 

[Telepatic]

Double break for Nole, 4-0 and serving. good match (lol)

 

[shadows]

error error error lol

this isn't even close to entertaining.

 

[JeMar]

Yikes, Blake is playing like he has somewhere to be in 45 minutes.

 

[Mustard]

4-0 Djokovic.

 

[sdont]

I feel sorry for those who thought that Blake could make it competitive.

 

[rodrigoamaral]

Yikes, Blake is playing like he has somewhere to be in 45 minutes.

lol... its becoming depressing

 

[Telepatic]

Blake is zoning just like Novak in Torronto's SF in 1-st set..

 

[Outbeyond]

Yikes, Blake is playing like he has somewhere to be in 45 minutes.

so true.....


uh oh...now James is starting to sound a bit like his bud, Andy, with the ref

 

[illkhiboy]

I went to the bathroom after the first game thinking those break points might have been Blake's highlight of the match. Came back and...it was 3-0 in 8 mins..
If he keeps up this ******** game plan, I think this could end within an hour.

 

[fedhingis515]

Geez... I don't expect Blake to win but can he at least make it somewhat competitive?

 

[Bud]

I smell a bagel cooking :twisted:

 

[thalivest]

Ouch, this match could get ugly. One thing clear to me is Blake has lost some speed. Djokovic even playing safe for him is still hitting the ball too hard and accurate for Blake to get behind it and on balance consistently.

 

[Mustard]

I feel sorry for those who thought that Blake could make it competitive.

They're only in the fifth game of the match.

 

[decades]

ump costing james money again...

 

[Bud]

That low camera angle really enhances the experience

Djokovic is looking pretty sharp

 

[Mustard]

5-0 Djokovic.

 

[Nadalfan89]

I'm hoping for a triple bagel.

 

[Tony48]

Blake about to get embarrassed

 

[decades]

blake got a dream draw for rounds one and two and also was protected by usta and didn't have to play in heat. that all ends tonight.

 

[sdont]

To be fair, this wind is not helping James.

 

[fed_the_savior]

I feel sorry for those who thought that Blake could make it competitive.

I feel sorry for me too . I slated djok to win of course, but this is pitiful.

 

[Bud]

Blake looking pretty washed up out there. Footwork all over the place, too slow to set up, poor balance.

 

[Outbeyond]

I thought Blake MIGHT at least get one set out of this match...oy, so wrong, I see....

 

[Mustard]

Blake holds to love, 1-5.

 

[fed_the_savior]

Shades of what Blake is capable of...

 

[Mustard]

I thought Blake MIGHT at least get one set out of this match...oy, so wrong, I see....

He might yet. This is only 1 set, which isn't over yet.

 

[Mustard]

SP Djokovic.

 

[Telepatic]

6-1, good job Nole.
