2019 Monte Carlo QF - Novak Djokovic vs. Daniil Medvedev

[joekapa]

Yeah right. Thiem 6-0 first set at US Open ring any bells?

Djokovic eluded to this after the AO final.

 

[Meles]

I would bet my house that Djokovic would beat either in a half marathon.......by far.

Jinx is on now, Nole gas tank probably will empty this match.

Not Thiem.

I think it was Nadal who was intimidated for both of those matches (tight to be sure), difference was Nole never let him back up off the mat and just smothered him before he could get his game really rolling. Masterful run at Auz Open, but really only physically tested in one match (the one with Meddy.) We'll see how it goes with this match and the rest of the tournament.

 

[Meles]

meddy two points away.....

 

[Meles]

Med two points away again.....

 

[joekapa]

Meddy breaks !!!!! Damn !

 

[Meles]

Wow two fail drop shots by both players. BP Meddy Baroo!

 

[onyxrose81]

Well, damn.

 

[Meles]

Meddy breaks !!!!! Damn !

And that was one tired looking Djoko forehand.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Well, this version of Djoker is not taking a set off of Nadal, should he find some way out of this match. He's going to have to raise his level to be competitive. Here comes #12 (it's 12, right?).

 

[Steve0904]

Scrappy game from Novak. Looks like he doesn't care now.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko back in trouble again! Credit to the Russian!

 

[Meles]

Now we have fitness queen drunken Nole. Love hold.

Rafa was getting #12 regardless, Novak has looked sh!te since the AO finished.

 

[Rubens]

4-1 Pepe

Don't count Coric out whose serve and form are building:
32/2017 R32 Canadian Masters Hard Rafael Nadal Borna Coric 6-1 6-2 1.14 - 5.00
32/2016 R16 Cincinnati Masters Hard Borna Coric Rafael Nadal 6-1 6-3 4.50 - 1.18
36/2015 R128 US Open Hard Rafael Nadal Borna Coric 6-3 6-2 4-6 6-4 1.22 - 4.00

Horrendous from Djokovic.

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak vs Rafa/Fed and Novak vs the rest of the field are two completely different players.

 

[tennis_pro]

Nadal-Medvedev final it is, bunch of waiters from start to finish.

 

[Meles]

Gassed Nole, not a pretty picture on clay.

 

[Meles]

Nadal-Medvedev final it is, bunch of waiters from start to finish.

Fed shoulda played.

 

[Steve0904]

Djoker just hanging on now.

 

[onyxrose81]

I mean, it was going to be Congrats on #12 Rafa anyway but really, congrats on #12 Rafa.

 

[underground]

Nadal-Medvedev final it is, bunch of waiters from start to finish.

You mean Nadal - Lajovic LOL

 

[TahoeTennis]

Lol, you realize Djokovic will still win right? Guaranteed

 

[joekapa]

sloppy stuff from Djokovic

 

[Steve0904]

Mad Lad throwing in the moonball FHs

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Just give RAFA all the clay trophies and let’s move on

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Nadal-Medvedev final it is, bunch of waiters from start to finish.

As if RAFA is going to beat Pella

 

[Meles]

Meddy putting a lot into this insurance break. Fails and now 40 all

 

[Steve0904]

If he gets out of this game I'll give him a 50/50 shot.

 

[Meles]

BH return winner. Med two points away...

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Lol, you realize Djokovic will still win right? Guaranteed

Guaranteed ? No, far from it.

 

[tennis_pro]

Nadal with his Futures draws in a MS tournament, what else is new

 

[Steve0904]

Medvedev has such brick hands. These drop shots are horrible and Novak still can't win the points. LAWL.

 

[Meles]

If he gets out of this game I'll give him a 50/50 shot.

I think he'll have a shot at the break, but its BP again!

 

[Red Rick]

BH return winner. Med two points away...

Med... two points away, since ninety ninety trey

 

[MeatTornado]

I was starting to think this would be one of those matches Novak tries to lose but wins by accident because his opponent folds.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Yeah, it’s over.

 

[joekapa]

And it's over.

 

[Steve0904]

Guaranteed ? No, far from it.

He says crap like that all the time. Ignore him.

 

[tennis_pro]

5-1 lmao

 

[Jonas78]

Djoker needs a match vs Fedal before FO to wake up...

 

[TennisFan3]

Just give RAFA all the clay trophies and let’s move on

Except the French Open. Where if Novak gets to the final, Nadal doesn't win.

Reason: Novak is unbeatable at slams and invincible especially against Nadal at slams. I would be surprised if Nadal ever beats Novak in a 5 set match for the rest of their careers. The surface doesn't matter.

 

[mike danny]

So Novak has only peaked for 2 matches this year. I thought players peak in their 30's nowadays.

 

[EloQuent]

Lol, you realize Djokovic will still win right? Guaranteed

Still standing by this?

 

[ak24alive]

This was unexpected.
