[1HBH-DownTheLine]

[Gary Duane]

Flea-mon wearing down Bounce-ovic.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Federer must be laughing

 

[Tennis wizard]

Waiting for the racquet smash, or has it happened already

Looked about ready too when broken but stopped himself

 

[RF-18]

Wow I went away when Novak broke in the 2nd now I cehck my phone and he is about to lose..

 

[PrinceMoron]

and the break. i blame pepe.

I missed the MTO
Oh, Pepé

 

[Chanwan]

wow ... novak had so many chances to put that rally away .. what an idiot LOL

from 40-15 to 40-A

this:

How the heck did Simon not win the point on the first try and then how did Novak not finish him off there.

 

[chut]

Federer must be laughing

More like :

 

[Chanwan]

He's playing pretty well and he's still very much in it. Simon has just been goating for a few games

 

[jm1980]

BP Wastovic

 

[VexlanderPrime]

He's playing pretty well and he's still very much in it. Simon has just been goating for a few games

Simon and Goating in the same sentence...

 

[I Am Finnish]

rebreak

 

[joekapa]

Breaks back ? That's why he is Nole.

 

[Sereger]

BP: 4/5 vs 4/12

 

[PrinceMoron]

Monte Carlo or Bust
The latter me thinks

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Haha ur still one of my favs but Djoker's downturn is threatening to turn you into the MichaelNadal of Djoker fans - "hopeful with a side of jaded" hehe

I think he's turning his game around... but I could be wrong lol

I am sure he can go on another good run but predicting anything about Novak is risky nowadays.

 

[I Am Finnish]

BP: 4/5 vs 4/12

novak federer

 

[joekapa]

I am going to stop watching for a little while.

 

[ChrisRF]

Federer must be laughing

Or he is angry about what an easy chance for a Monte Carlo title he deliberately missed. But seriously I think he is happy with his decision and comes back at Paris firing on all cylinders.

17 bh errors made by djokovic


not good

 

[joekapa]

17 bh errors made by djokovic


not good

No it isn't.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Simon and Goating in the same sentence...

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

So once again I say, this is miles better than all that overhyped servefest crap.

 

[I Am Finnish]

AO open 2.0

 

[joekapa]

So once again I say, this is miles better than all that overhyped servefest crap.

Yes it is.

 

[joekapa]

Djokovic must break now.

 

[joekapa]

Stupid choice to lob there from Djokovic.

 

[H_Richardson]

He has turned back to Dropovic.

 

[Boogslice]

No Volleyvic

 

[joekapa]

Simon is the greatest pusher ever to play the game. Say what you will about him, it really is great to watch somethimes.

 

[I Am Finnish]

errorvic in full mode

 

[joekapa]

This is clay, a pushers paradise.

Like a pig in mud.

 

[Chanwan]

So once again I say, this is miles better than all that overhyped servefest crap.

to me, the best matches happen between contrasting styles. I think Fedovic matches are more entertaining than say Fed vs. Tsonga, even though I prefer watching Tsonga to watching Djokovic, generally speaking

 

[mightyrick]

Simon is the greatest pusher ever to play the game. Say what you will about him, it really is great to watch somethimes.

You have it partially correct.

The greatest pusher to ever play the game is definitely French.

But his name is not Gilles Simon. His name is Fabrice Santoro.

 

[underground]

O_O that miss

 

[I Am Finnish]

what the heck was that

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

Whether Djokovic wins or loses, his Serve and Backhand in this match is definitely not good enough to win Monte Carlo if he ever faces stronger opposition than Simon in the latter rounds.

 

[underground]

Simon to serve for the match after Djokovic failed to put a smash away, followed by 3 BH errors.

 

[I Am Finnish]

ooooooooooooooooooooomg


can he serve it out ?

 

[Boogslice]

Simon isn't just a pusher -he's tactically brilliant and incredibly patient.

 

[TennisRookie]

And now Simon serves for the set

 

[1HBH-DownTheLine]

serving for the match

 

[JRAJ1988]

It's sad to watch a great player fizzle away in some errorfest against the cure for insomnia.

 

[chut]

Simon isn't just a pusher -he's tactically brilliant and incredibly patient.

You mean is a great pusher

 

[Sereger]

Simon is bowing down on the chair as if he's about to lose .lol

 

[Lord Anomander]

Ah well, was hoping for some kind of improvement result-wise on clay, but losing to Simon is even worse than against Kyrgios.

Guess we Nole fans have to be patient.

 

[Wander]

You have it partially correct.

The greatest pusher to ever play the game is definitely French.

But his name is not Gilles Simon. His name is Fabrice Santoro.

Santoro is not a pusher. His weapon was his trickiness.

 

[Backspin1183]

Breaks and serving for the match. That's why he is Simon.

 

[Chanwan]

Simon to serve for the match after Djokovic failed to put a smash away, followed by 3 BH errors.

my connection died, so only saw the BP. But that was very much a forced BH error

 

[tennis4jags]

No he can't.

He has done it. Serving for the match... Hurray..
Guyzz.. Djokovic is done.. let him to enjoy 100 MI alone.. dont expect anything from him in 2017
