Time for Nole to send a statement for 2017 and stamp his authority on the tour once again.

I hope for a Djokovic/Murray final.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Time for Nole to send a statement for 2017 and stamp his authority on the tour once again.

I hope for a Djokovic/Murray final.

I think his statement for 2017 will be "Amor y Paz".

 

[I Am Finnish]

Murray should reach the final

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

The new ATP season has been launched in Doha by the top 2.

Happy 2017 everybody.

Djokovic slide in 2nd half of 2016 is a mystery of sorts,yet it happens to all on the pro circuit, Could be he might have dealt with it.


Cheers

Sir Andy is done, he should retire

 

[JonnyMac]

Sir Andy is done, he should retire

Taodally

Scandinavia does not begin to describe how FINNISH SIRBUM is...

The Bin Man is Soooo 2016....

He's ova...

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Sir Rubbish loses at the Mubadala exho to Goffin and now in doubles to a 40 year old Zimonjic, just retire LMAO.

 

[merwy]

Andy Murray looks like retirement

 

[Sysyphus]

God I love seeing the number [2] next to Djokovic's name for a change

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Can that really be called a rare double based on the recent months?

 

[Gytha]

Novak broken to start :/

 

[joekapa]

Djokovic broken, right out of the starting gate.

 

[joekapa]

And broken again. Serve is completley flat. Unforced errors through the moon. Unbelievable.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Maybe Novak wants to win his first wooden spoon, that's one of very few prizes that he never managed to win.

 

[Sysyphus]

It is absurd to suggest that holding serve is in any way better than being broken twice.

 

[merwy]

Lol, what's happening? Anyone watching this? Wonder if he's playing terrible or if it's all small margins

 

[Gytha]

Uh, Novak has won 2 service points so far.

 

[Rock Strongo]

What's going on here?

 

[joekapa]

He looks flatter than Cameron Diaz's chest.

 

[Checkmate]

LOL, is Djokovic trolling ?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Will Djokovic get on the board?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

He is on the board!

 

[Gytha]

Struff serving like a beast

 

[JonnyMac]

Lol, what's happening? Anyone watching this? Wonder if he's playing terrible or if it's all small margins

Haha ! Peas and Lurve !

Helsinkivic is in da house !

Struff Tuff wiv da ACES !

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Maybe Novak is doing a Wawrinka and saving himself only for the Majors from now on.

 

[Nostradamus]

Struff serving like a beast

Novak is not really a top 10 player... Struff is proving that right now....

 

[JonnyMac]

 

[Checkmate]

One Doha Open more or less can make a lot of difference in his resume. Maybe not.

Maybe Novak is doing a Wawrinka and saving himself only for the Majors from now on.

 

[Checkmate]

The magic of Pepe Imaz in full flow now. Can Struff take this stuff ?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

What a time to get a break!

 

[Gytha]

Second chance for Struff to serve out. Choke likelihood: 99%

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Djokovic's trolling continues, 5-5.

MUG comments incoming!

 

[Nostradamus]

Struff choking big time against what he thinks is legendary player.

 

[Sysyphus]

full-blown autoerotic asphyxiation here

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Really strange set.

 

[Checkmate]

Exactly, just like that.

 

[joekapa]

He is showing a glimmer of hope.

 

[Gytha]

Second chance for Struff to serve out. Choke likelihood: 99%

here we go, here we go, here we go

 

[joekapa]

Hitting deep like the Djokovic we have come to know.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

From 5-1 down to a tiebreak breadstick. Unpredictable boy this Novak is. Always was and always will be.

The Djoko-coaster ride continues lads.

 

[joekapa]

Djokovic is the ultimate fanboy troll. Love it. Which other player would come back after 2 breaks, seemingly without breaking a sweat ? Murray would have been swearing blue murder.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

It's amazing how big part is played in players' heads.

Murder ??? Pleacccccccccc

We are in the school of Pepe Imaz.

 

[Mainad]

Novak quickly steadies the ship after a few opening wobbles. Bakery products on offer in the 2nd set?

 

[Checkmate]

Has Struff copied Gulbis's looks ?

 

[Emperor of Belgrade]

Pity this Novak trolling isn't on some bigger stage, would have attracted much more attention.

Probably would (although he may have to rein it in a bit now that he's a knight of the realm) . He's not happy with his form though after losing his doubles match earlier. Went straight back out onto the practice court with Delgado.
