2018 ATP Cincinnati - Djokovic vs Cilic

[BrokenGears]

Hmm, can't say I'm even feeling that happy tbh. Whenever Djokovic is playing well and reaches a final I'm happy but that has been far from the case this week. Honestly don't expect him to beat whoever he faces in tomorrow's final.

The pessimism!

Yesterday you said Djoko would be lucky to win a set

 

[underground]

Props for Novak for not answering that stupid question.

 

[I Am Finnish]

I wonder if Djokovic & cilic speaking english or serbo-croatian to each other

 

[maratha_warrior]

The best match i have seen this tournament

Ya .. it was tight .

You don't expect him to beat anyone.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Djokovic in 3.

Will just get by Cilic I think. Will then go on to lose to Fedr in the final then get his revenge at the USO by saving 87 MPs against Fedr all of them being on his serve.

And that’s the bottom line cause paranoid said so.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Can't have Goffin spoiling things now.

 

[mellowyellow]

Fed fans ..behave

Hopefully

The best match i have seen this tournament

Seriously my sweet? You didn't catch the Fedwrinka match last night I take it?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Djokovic vs Federer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Reigns vs Lesnar 50 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Goffin vs Federer.

 

[mellowyellow]

Can't have Goffin spoiling things now.

He isn't very good against top players let alone b2b...

 

[Pheasant]

Wow folks. We are witnessing somebody quite special in Clutcheric. Djokovic just played in 4 consecutive matches that went the distance and he won all of them. That is amazing. This will make Djoker's 6th final at Cinci! Clutcheric is back. This guy seems impossible to beat right now. He is like a ticked off pit bull that won't let go once he bites you. Holding your serve against the GOAT returner almost seems as tough as breaking him. There is constant pressure from this pit bull. And if you make one wrong move, he'll grab you by the neck for the kill.

This guy is unbelievably clutch. I believe that we have to go back to the days of Borg to find somebody this clutch. This guy rarely loses when a match goes the distance.

Reigns vs Lesnar is happening again?? Jeez.

 

[Djokovic2011]

You don't expect him to beat anyone.

Let's not go overboard Hitman - even I'm not that bad.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Reigns vs Lesnar is happening again?? Jeez.

Yeah, tomorrow is their final battle for now.

So if Goffin beats Fedr you would expect Goffin to beat Djoko? Come on now.

The day I come across a non-pessimistic post from you is the moment I will legit start worrying about an apocalypse.

I have seen

The answer is no i dus not

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Yeah, tomorrow is their final battle for now.

Still better than Reigns v Lesnar

 

[I Am Finnish]

Actually he should had lost to Dimitrov

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Still better than Reigns v Lesnar

Highlighting what you want to delete for the win.

 

[Djokovic2011]

So if Goffin beats Fedr you would expect Goffin to beat Djoko? Come on now.

Why not? Goffin's a world class player and this Djokovic is far from the best version we've seen of him.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Let's not go overboard Hitman - even I'm not that bad.

Yeah, lets not and start believing a little also.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Props for Novak for not answering that stupid question.

What was the question?

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Why not? Goffin's a world class player and this Djokovic is far from the best version we've seen of him.

Goffin can fluke a win against one of them but not both. He’s a good player but he’s not anything special either.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Marty but this may be too much.

 

[stringertom]

There will be a lot of Djokovic fans rooting for Goffin later on.

Goffin is plus 8 on breaks of serve this week vs some decent servers (Tsitsipas, Paire, Anderson and JMDP) so if he beats fedr tonight it will not be cake on the still vulnerable Joe Kovic serve.

I was also impressed how well he managed his own service games vs JMDP last night, particularly the first set. He may have tired a bit in the final set, his fourth of the day, and his service efficiency waned.

 

[I Am Finnish]

English is your first language

George.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Yeah, I like Goffin the way I would like a removed brother in law. But levels.

Don't want him to get in the way of the dream final.

 

[jm1980]

I hope I don't have to read any more stupid posts that Djokovic "dodges" his rivals

He came to one of Fed's best tournaments and fought his way to the final while not playing his best tennis

Djokovic will never be beaten at this rate. Wins the next 10 slam and closes the GOAT discussion.

 

[I Am Finnish]

George.

Shut your phuck up okay his name is Joffrey

I just hope we get to find out.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

George.

@Hitman says Marty so I just followed the big man in calling him that.

 

[stringertom]

@Hitman says Marty so I just followed the big man in calling him that.

Crispin Glover doppelgänger, not Michael J Fox. @Hitman does it to bug me.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

@Hitman says Marty so I just followed the big man in calling him that.

He's Marty.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Btw if/when Djokovic loses tomorrow will it be the first time ever that a player has lost six finals at the same tournament?

 

[GabeT]

Can Nole beat Fed at Cincy?

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Crispin Glover doppelgänger, not Michael J Fox. @Hitman does it to bug me.

You want me to call him George?

 

[Deleted member 756486]

George.

Shut your phuck up okay his name is Joffrey

He's Marty.

There’s some confusion here...

Times like this call for a thread with a poll.

When in doubt, democracy!

 

[Krish872007]

Can Nole beat Fed at Cincy?

Yes.
Fred isn't in great form or anything like he was the last 3 times they met in the final here. Incidentally they've played here exactly every 3 years. 2009, 2012, 2015.

 

[stringertom]

Shut your phuck up okay his name is Joffrey

George Joffrey McFly, King of mid-rounds but only Prince on the weekends.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sweet Caroline.

 

[AndyM]

of course the mighty fed gets to play under cooler night time conditions but maybe he'll be in for a big surprise adjusting to the day just conditions tomorrow

Uh, no. Chaos ensued 21 months ago.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Uh, no. Chaos ensued 21 months ago.

Took me a while to figure this one out..

 

[I Am Finnish]

Btw if/when Djokovic loses tomorrow will it be the first time ever that a player has lost six finals at the same tournament?

Probably

Nadal lost 5 miami finals
Fedr lost 4 MC or rome finals
Murray lost 4 or 5 AO titels
Benny lost 10 finals in various tournaments

 

[stringertom]

Plus and minus. Five hours less to recover if his match drags on.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Can Nole beat Fed at Cincy?

The better question is can he win a set
