Using SkyGo man sorry.

He needs to practice them. Might get handy against better opponents
Although, if you use them against someone like Rafa you better make sure they are perfect.

how's Djoko playing? Goatovic or Mugovic?

Simon doesn't make it easy either. The guy has no problem with returning balls back for hours and hours.He needs to practice them. Might get handy against better opponents

Missed half the set. He's playing decent, Pingpongvic for the most part.

So I see why Nole would use some dropshots against him. But I guess it worked without using them too (I can't follow the match, but he pretty much destroyed Simon in the last three games pointwise).

Djoker looked good when I watched his DC match recently. Hopefully he's practicing again and finding his groove.

He's moving the ball around really well, getting some dangerous angles - hitting the ball a bit harder here and there to take control of some long rallies. Promising signs. Need to pay more attention to the serve though.

Great point from him right there, I expect a top-2 or better performance this clay season

It's nice of Simon to remind me that there are still players out there with worse serves than Novak.

Easy sunshine. Djokovic has a decent serve. Better than Nadal's or Murray's, that's for sure.

He is playing a weak server, but it is looking good.

Yeah garbage service game right there.

That's correct if we compare as TTW would say peak to peak. Nowadays I don't think so.

Neither Murray nor Nadal have been serving particularly well so far this year.
Better than post 2013 Nadal serve for sure.

Well played point from Simon there.
The only leg day Simon knows goes hand in hand with Confit of Duck
Does Simon always skip leg day?

Any chance Federer could give his serve to Djokovic for the clay season? It's not like the old man is going to be particularly active during it.

I see plenty of good signs from Djoko so far this match.
Return: Check.
Change the direction of the ball at will: Check
Defense: Check.
Hitting his angles: Check
Hitting with depth: Check
Going for his shots: Mostly check
He's missing some sharpness on his serve in particular and his finishing stroke as well to some degree. But Simon has always been a hard nut to finish any point against

40 shot rally! @The Green Mile Greenie, Simon looks like he wants to grind here and slowly pull the wings off the Djokovic fly.
