Martina said in Thiem's shoes she'd be laughing every time Novak had to abandon the baseline for the net as it showed he was taken out of his game and desperate.![]()
My power came too late I missed sers 3 4 and most of 5Did you fly away after two games?![]()
Will RAFA get the most slams at a single GS or will Thiem win his maiden slam?
Tied with Court.Doesn't he already hold that record?
um sam querrey? NICK KYRGIOS? djokovic has lost to lesser players at slams than tsitsipas. how bout denis istomin? i bet you were saying in 2016 after djokovic won french, calender year slam guaranteed nobody can stop djokovic. wawrinka looks like he's back in form. he can beat djokovic if they meet at wimbledon
Will be very hard for Nadal. Thiem beat him in Barcelona this year.
do you see a good match?Nadal has lost clay tournaments this season to guys like fognini. This is the French open. No way thiem is winning this. I would love to see the upset but i don’t see it.
I think that's what he meant by "proper" tennis games.They have, but they stink.
Well the 2011 peak Djokovic was beaten by Fed. Do you think the current Thiem would beat that Fed?
Tennis is all about matchups, In a way the 2019 Djokovic isn't as bad, even though he is not prime.
His serve is far better and skill at the net too.
do you see a good match?
Do you honestly expect other players to beat Novak on hards and grass? Fed is getting old. Nadal is not the force he was outside of clay.
Thiem sucks on grass and not great at hards. TsiTsiPas is overrated. Z is perennial underperformer in slams.
Others are not even worth mentioning. So who will stop Novak at Wimbledon and the UsOpen?
You're forgiven since nobody cares about RG.My power came too late I missed sers 3 4 and most of 5
Sam Querrey and Istomin are young players? They also beat Novak when he was playing his absolute worst. Please. Kyrgios beat him in lesser tournaments when he was at his worst. Wawrinka beating Djokovic on grass? Lawl...
I’ll be in full flight for WimbledonYou're forgiven since nobody cares about RG.![]()
in 2016 when he was at his peak, nobody expected djokovic's form to suddenly drop and he loses to querrey it hapenned. wawrinka beating djokovic at wimbledon isn't a far fetched scenario. he beat novak in all three of the other slams, including djokovic's favourite AO.
Congrats to Thiem! He is not the strongest when it comes to holding up under pressure but it is all the more commendable that he managed to overcome the nerves. I think Nadal vs Thiem at RG will be a more interesting encounter this time around.
Djokovic needs to unwind himself a bit. One of his weaknesses is that he seems to pile up stress. There comes a point where he needs to reset and now with Wimbledon coming is just the time for that.
Yeah I played one of them. Called AO (I think) and its deplorable. I sold it back to the store at a discounted price. Worse than a ps1 game.
Djokovic is more than likely done at RG but will always have shows at the 2 HC slams and Wimbledon, his best days at RG were between 2011-2015/16. He'll probably win Wimbledon now knowing him.
I'm surprised Thiem even won in 5 given the humongous choke when serving it out he's gonna be literally shaking vs Nadal of all competitors if he ever gets to a winning position.
Still won thoughDjokovic hit a return winner at the very least, Thiem hit FOUR unforced errors. Just beyond pathetic..
He was not at his peak after RG 2016. Well his form did suddenly drop and he was terrible at that Wimbledon. Wawrinka is terrible on grass so yes it is a far fetched scenario. That is the one surface where Djokovic could routine him if he's playing well.
Just 6??Thiem made 6 UEs and still won the match. Djokovic made 53.
He's not done at RG. Again people just think short term. Djokovic produced great level of tennis during these 2 weeks. Conditions didn't favour him over these 2 days and generally unlucky with how the tournament and the weather unfolded. His loss today is nowhere near signs that he is done at RG but I agree it's the least likely slam for him to win compared to the other 3.
My bad but I've stopped watching WTA matches unless the encounter involves a big name or it's a big final...You clearly missed the WTA Semi final. Barty was 5-1 and 15-40 (2 break points against serve) in the first set in her semi final 1st set. She lost that set 5-7
I quoted the wrong person but oh well xD
TBH,Younger players take a few years to figure things out - this was true for both Novak and Roger. Only Rafa won Grand Slams within his first year or so, so the younger players CAN develop and start to win soon, esp. since the big 3 are getting older.
ya so after RG 2019, he might not sustain his peak. i'm not saying it will happen. i'm just saying it could happen. wawrinka is terrible against players who can keep the ball low against him on grass. djokovic is not one of those players
Thiem is a legit contender for him no matter what condition especially at RG. It was always hard with Nadal as it is but it's even more now with Thiem in a legit mix, and Thiem's only gonna improve from here.
Djokovic should have more chances, that’s right. It’s simply because he is a bigger favourite than Nadal at 3 of the 4 Slams. But I don’t see Nadal declining very fast. Due to his injuries he has his breaks and only plays a full schedule in the clay season now, so he always gives his body the time to recover (intended or not).nadal
maybe i'm wrong but nadal is clearly declining much more than djokovic. he doesn't have another another 4 french opens in him. next year he'll be 34. nadal isn't federer. he's not going to be playing till 37. way more wear and tear on body. way more physical style that is unsustainable in late age. so i agree with tennis addict. djokovic is more of a threat than nadal, and djokovic lost today so its a breather for federer fans.
. Nadal on the other hand will never lose focus career wise, even if playing badly for a while.
