2016 Indian Wells Final - [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [12] Milos Raonic

[nowhereman]

2-6, 2-6
2-6, 3-6
2-6, 0-6
Would've expected Milos to make some progress, but I guess not.

Raonic's girlfriend is swiping through Tinder looking for a better boyfriend during Roanic's speech.

 

[RSH]

At the end of 2015, I held a slight hope that the top level in tennis would become somewhat more competitive: a more confident Federer, a more competent Murray, a change in approach for Nadal, etc.

That hope is now firmly dead.

 

[I Am Finnish]

more a 2nd round match than a final

very disappointed in raonic

 

[Krish872007]

Poor Milos. But congrats to Novak on a record 5th IW title and a record equalling 27th Masters 1000 title. Who would've guessed that Fratangelo of all players would be the only player to take a set off him this tournament?!

He starts really slowly in these tournaments but fires up in the final rounds. I can see a similar thing happening in Miami.

Weak era?

It'll be even weaker once this incredible domination comes to an end babe.

Which comments are you referring to?

Indian Wells CEO calls the WTA 'lucky to ride on the coattails of men'

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

All we need is Djokovic fans accusing other players of being boring.

Consider yourselves lucky then. At least they are not butthurt and know there are many tastes and accept different ones from theirs.

 

[ricki]

Wow... I never thought I'd say it or think it, but if Novak plays like he did today, he has a legit shot at the CYGS this year. He was returning Raonic's serves like it was the serve of a WTA player. Impressive stuff today!

Raonic served crap of craps today

 

[La Grande]

For anyone doubting Djokovic (including myself)

[Service Ace]

Federer is literally the only player that can save us from the age of Boretron

 

[fundrazer]

Which comments are you referring to?

Guy said the WTA should be on their knees thanking Fedal for bringing tennis back to popularity. Basically calling it how it is, but not necessarily good thing for CEO of the event holder to say.

 

[SpinToWin]

I thought Raonic might push Djokovic, maybe beat him........

 

[StanTheMan]

Goffin would've have made a much better job here, had he survived Milos.

 

[merwy]

That presenter is the idiot Ray Moore, CEO of the open, who will soon be fired for his asinine comments earlier. Clearly, he's now in recovery mode trying to pander to the crowd and Djokovic.

What asinine comments are you referring to?

 

[NoleFam]

Raonic wasn't that great but come on...Novak was in God mode today. Superb performance.

 

[Rozroz]

i hope this was a parody for Pit's sake.

 

[mistik]

Weak era?

Call me a bitter ı seriously think under normal conditions he shouldnt be ( Novak ) that dominant. There is no such a thing that ı become invincible age 28 under normal conditions. ATP sucks as much as if not more than WTA. Former great Fedal not in their best anymore and tour couldnt manage to produce young players that are really dangerous.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Djokovic will be fresh for Miami now...

 

[LinePainter]

"Djokovic is in decline"
lol

 

[The Fedfather]

Raonic is a cool guy and no offense to him but I wanted absolute destruction and I got it.

Self destruction you mean.

 

[heninfan99]

are employees in the stands cheering Ellison, chanting Larry?

 

[La Grande]

hahahaha where you getting these from?

 

[West Coast Ace]

Does Raonic always get broken in his 1st service game of big matches? Time to add a sports psychologist to his team.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

At least I'm contributing to this match thread and making it longer
Nothing wrong with venting out some emotions about our frustration in here darling, it will not stop.
Havent forgot that winning is the main goal, but it doesnt make it more interesting at all unfortunately.
Lucky you that love his tennis! Must be great times in tennis for you! Wish I found his tennis as great as you Novak fans feel.

I am doing the same.
The dominance will not stop soon either darling.
You guys were or will be lucky too.

 

[fundrazer]

Raonic's girlfriend is swiping through Tinder looking for a better boyfriend during Roanic's speech.

Yep. Thinking in her head "he calls that his best tennis. pffft!"

 

[tennis_pro]

Consider yourselves lucky then. At least they are not butthurt and know there are many tastes and accept different ones from theirs.

Of course. There are also people who actually enjoy watching Isner or people who love to watch paint dry.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Like rafa now.

That is insane from Djokovic.

Insane.

 

[falstaff78]

Why is this dbag banker still speaking?

 

[SpinToWin]

And my final post for this thread/match… The summary from before match expectations to hard reality/results:

 

[a10best]

So, let's fast forward to 2017.. Novak will have 14 slams. I give him 3 slams this yr.. FO still out of his grasp.
He passes Nadal in 2017. Can he pass Federer in 2018?

 

[killerboi2]

What a joke of a match lol. Seriously no excuses for novak not to win the calendar grand slam. No challengers. He has an old fart in fed who has no belief he can win number 18 and rafaelito who looks like he should retire

Yep, just zero competition on tour. I have a hard time believing that the mug he played today was even a professional tennis player, much less in the top 20. No marks like Berdych and Tsonga still in the top 10? Lmao, what a pathetic era this is. Even worse than last year. I'd be more surprised if Djokovic doesn't win calendar.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Of course. There are also people who actually enjoy watching Isner or people who love to watch paint dry.

Exactly, you get my point. Different tastes all around.

 

[PHS_10]

Goffin is the real winner, lol

 

[heninfan99]

this is becoming a circle jerk

 

[La Grande]

LOOOOOOOOL DJOKOVIC THINKS HE'S ON 16 SLAMS (11 SLAMS PLUS 5 "SOMETHING MORE" INDIAN WELLS TITLES )

 

[SpinToWin]

hahahaha where you getting these from?

LOOOOOOOOL DJOKOVIC THINKS HE'S ON 16 SLAMS (11 SLAMS PLUS 5 "SOMETHING MORE" INDIAN WELLS TITLES )

yes djokovic is on something more

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

xxxxxxx mmmmm take a deep breath and just cherish that man another time.

I am doing the same.
The dominance will not stop soon either darling.
You guys were or will be lucky too.

One day his dominance will end and the angels will sing again

 

[TheMusicLover]

Classy speech from Djokovic.

 

[Zodd]

Haha wtf!? That gif made it worthwhile despite that hideous excuse for a final

 

[Djokovic2011]

Djokovic will be fresh for Miami now...

I actually wouldn't be surprised now if he does the double again lol.

 

[Tennisanity]

Too bad Milos took out Stan at AO, could have prevented another boring slam final

 

[Harry_Wild]

Long time since I have seem a men's final with a second set that had a bagel! Totally unexpected!

 

[NoleFam]

LOOOOOOOOL DJOKOVIC THINKS HE'S ON 16 SLAMS (11 SLAMS PLUS 5 "SOMETHING MORE" INDIAN WELLS TITLES )

LMAO

 

[La Grande]

I actually wouldn't be surprised now if he does the double again lol.

POSITIVITY!!!!!!!!

 

[falstaff78]

I'm a Federer fan first and foremost but I just have to say this

that speech was class through and through. Love the way he acknowledged his opponent wasn't at his best

HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE NOVAK?!?!?!?

Love The Man. What a well deserved heavyweight champion of the world. Long may he reign!!!

 

[La Grande]

Milos only won 3 points on second serve LOL?
