Does any credit go to Edmund or is it a case of Troll Warehouse taking the easy option to dump on Novak?
Sadly couldn’t watch the match.
Spot on just from what I've been reading on this back page. Looks like Fraudlings Gone Wild. See my post one or two above.
I'm really amazed with what Edmund did. I believe before the break Djokovic has won all 12 points on serve in the set. He got all first serves in the game he was broken. Edmund was absolutely tremendous and lucky for that one break and then closed out the match in a similar vein.
If I'm a Djokovic fan (and I'm becoming one again in a way because I like what I'm seeing) there were some really huge, huge positives in this match for Nole:
1. Played great after craptastic start donating the first set.
2. Excellent serve velocity at 198 kph average first serve.

2nd serve trying to get to Becker era class at 157 kph.
3. Djokovic held serve really well in 2nd and 3rd set until the rape job by Edmund
4. yeah he's rusty, but crafty as well and I'd swear he rope a doped Edmund by tanking his last two service games in the first set and then immediately breaking to start the 2nd.
Negatives:
1. Old player erratic start to the match
2. Tanking his last two service games of the first set to me also a sign that he does not feel in shape to go three strong sets so I'd say a deep RG run is out.
Overall based on his run for Wimbledon last year I'd say he could be a contender and who knows after if he actually gets in shape and match tough. Today's debacle does not happen if he's playing regularly.
Edit: I'm losing my marbles. The serve numbers were not correct on velocity 184/151 is the real number so nothing to write home about. Without the velocity numbers I'm back to waiting for his prime serve to return.
