2016 French Open R16 - Novak Djokovic vs. Roberto Bautista-Agut

[Deleted member 77403]

Ive been pretty ripped and somewhat big in high school (around 190) but I just can't maintain that when I'm playing other sports because of the net calorie surplus needed for me to gain

Play to your strengths.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Novak's turn to try and turn the screw.

 

[The Green Mile]

Two fantastic and well placed consecutive drop shots from the King.

 

[MatsPhilander]

Classic shot.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

This guy just won't go away...

 

[The Green Mile]

Then he plays that, lmao...

 

[Poisoned Slice]

spam

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Somebody must have told Novak that he looks so cool when he plays the drop shot. Both timing and execution are usually horrible in this match. But, he continues to play it anyway ...

 

[The Green Mile]

The dropper yet again. BP Nole. RBA well behind the baseline.

 

[steenkash]

Novak dropping it like it's hot

 

[Noleberic123]

"Djokovic has no feel" - RusselJones

 

[Poisoned Slice]

That one was excellently executed.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

!

 

[Tennis sensation]

Djokovic breaks.

Game over?

 

[Russeljones]

Normality resumes.

 

[The Green Mile]

Novak breaks for 6-5. A game away now.

 

[Nonsense]

Novak breaks! Serving for the match!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Djokovic will serve for the match.

Did anyone in the crowd shout "stop the dropshots already"? Coz someone needs to.

Judging by the last few points, Agut supporters should shout that.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko at his best in that game! Wow!

 

[Nonsense]

Djokovic will serve for the match.

Judging by the last few points, Agut supporters should shout that.

Agut should be winded by now.

 

[maxrenn]

And that's the match!

 

[mellowyellow]

I'm sure Boris did an even better job.

I think what Djoko needed from Boris was the intangibles he was lacking.... net play/ volleys, approaching the net, slice, improved first serve and even to an extent confidence in using some more variety. He seems to be a permanent fixture now I don't see him leaving anyone soon.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Clutch play from the heavyweight champion...never in doubt!

 

[Tennis sensation]

Serving for the match.

 

[mellowyellow]

Agut should be winded by now.

Guys a stamina troll. Have been suspicious of him for a few years...

 

[The Green Mile]

Just a well placed overhead...

 

[Tennis sensation]

Overhead debacle continues....

 

[Steve0904]

What a stupid overhead.

 

[maxrenn]

Not posting anything here...go check me out in odds and ends.

Very impressive physique man! Though my favourite picture was the one of your puddycat, she/he is beautiful

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Another overhead gem.

 

[steenkash]

Novak's Achilles heel = that oveheard.

Boris gave him the confidence of a champion, after losing 3/4 slam finals.

 

[Josh Lyman]

How does Djoker not just practice overheads for an hour every day?

 

[Nonsense]

"safe overhead" ain't gonna cut it.

 

[joekapa]

Come on champ !!!! Don't choke like Federer !!!!

 

[Nonsense]

Another overhead gem.

You, you you you. Don't do it

Believe me now?

That is my white persian cat. It's a boy. His name is Gochi.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Novak's Achilles heel = that oveheard.

Half the ATP cannot lob.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Match point

 

[steenkash]

Cmonnnn Novak

 

[Deleted member 716271]

I think ND might struggle with overheads due to contact lenses.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Wow RBA so good

 

[disgruntledamsel]

Did anyone in the crowd shout "stop the dropshots already"? Coz someone needs to.

didn't you know? this is the tournament of drop shots..whoever does it best will take the trophy! Murray is very good at this, even better at the lob...so I'm glad Djoker is practicing. I used to think Djoker's lob was almost as bad as his overhead, but he's gotten better at both.

 

[steenkash]

Novak wtf with that drop shot again

 

[maxrenn]

1 mp saved.. good grit.

 

[The Green Mile]

RBA survives the 1st MP.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

I think ND might struggle with overheads due to contact lenses.

You might be onto something here...

 

[Steve0904]

How does Djoker not just practice overheads for an hour every day?

If he did that he might be a French Open Champion already.

If you know what I mean.

 

[joekapa]

Come on son !!!!!!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

You, you you you. Don't do it
