2019 Rome QF: Djokovic vs del Potro

[Standaa]

Honestly I'm not sure why it matters. Federer scoffs at the idea of knowing what his backhand grip is called.

I think you're supposed to be very intuitive about these things and you just need to build the muscle memory/timing and ****.

FH grip matters a lot when you want to know the technicalities of how one hits a FH.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Is there even a valid tactic for Delpo to win this match? I can't think of any. Djokovic is just better than him.

Aside from killing Djokovic likely none.

[Standaa]

Pretty good rallies there. Though it was gonna be a blowout.

 

[underground]

Delpo has been rallying well but he's at his own first serve %'s mercy right now.

Delpotro played well too

 

[Gazelle]

BreakPointWastovic is the worst version of Djokovic

He can waste as many as he likes and still win the match.

Brainfartovic is the worst version of Djokovic.

 

[Red Rick]

Aside from killing Djokovic likely none.

Wait for the return of Birdflueovic, Sarsovic or Anthrovix or perhaps the first appearance of Pregnovic.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Why is Djokovic so irritated today? Or at least, he seems quite mentally out of sorts to me.

 

[Sambuccashake]

Brainfartovic is the worst version of Djokovic.

Overheadovic disagrees.

 

[Gazelle]

Djokovic smashed something. Suspension?

 

[Standaa]

Wait, what did Novak do to get booed?

i missed it.

Please and thank you.

 

[Red Rick]

Djokovic smashed something. Suspension?

Could smash umpires head with ball depending on how many standards there are.

He's annoyed at the lack of clay at the back of the court.

Wait, what did Novak do to get booed?

Smacked the ball at the backboard.

He read the spoilers of the series finale of GOT to the crowd.

Right

 

[romeo8880]

He is not attacking with it though. It is a passive shot most of the time. Anyway, his game just does not trouble Djokovic.

Wrong. Delpo game troubles everybody

 

[Gazelle]

Djokovic being weird, I expect some drunken master moves any moment now.

 

[Standaa]

Rome camera angle is one of the best on the tour.

 

[Red Rick]

Djokovic hitting the backhand down the line LOTS. It was nowhere to be found during the USO final.

 

[Chadalina]

Djok needs to bounce the ball before the serve more, fans are still awake

 

[StrongRule]

Wrong. Delpo game troubles everybody

Djokovic is too good on the baseline for him. Not only he returns a lot of Del Potro's attacks but he returns them very deep and Del Potro has to make extra shots all the time.

 

[Red Rick]

They were really booing the Dumber and Dumbest

Does he have a daughter already? Not really up-to-date on Djoks family life. I know he has a dog though.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I’d rather not see Delpo straight up quit on the mud vs capy again. So Djoko best win. It’s about quality not what my heart wants

Diego will take out Delpo if he wins.

He has a boy and a girl. Stefan and Tara they're called I believe.

 

[romeo8880]

Djokovic is too good on the baseline for him. Not only he returns a lot of Del Potro's attacks but he returns them very deep and Del Potro has to make extra shots all the time.

Also true, but it’s still troubling Bc Delpo rallies well and when he starts thumping that forehand it’s a problem lol

 

[Chadalina]

Last two points were time violations, 28 and 31 secs

Break pt = 33secs

 

[StrongRule]

Del Potro has a break point and fails to return an easy second serve.

 

[Gazelle]

He has a boy and a girl. Stefan and Tara they're called I believe.

Ok, he has immunity then.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Del fraud breaks

 

[Red Rick]

Del Potro hitting no angels but just so flat the balls have a 90% chance of catching a bad patch of clay and thus barely bouncing.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Delpo breaks. One of his points was out, hehe

 

[Gazelle]

Del Potro has a break point and fails to return an easy second serve. Just LOL.

Del Potro just kinda forgot about his backhand on that point. But remembered it again soon after. Stuff like that happens, it's normal.

 

[Meles]

Delpo

 

[acintya]

hoopa

 

[StrongRule]

Also true, but it’s still troubling Bc Delpo rallies well and when he starts thumping that forehand it’s a problem lol

Yes, but Del Potro has to suffer to win a point against him. He feels much better when he plays Federer. With Wawrinka it is just the opposite.

 

[Otacon]

A break is meaningless unless you confirm it in your next service game especially against Djokovic and Nadal.

 

[EasyGoing]

DelPo’s BH looking much better than in - what is it, since 2012 if not even earlier?

Djokovic is too good on the baseline for him. Not only he returns a lot of Del Potro's attacks but he returns them very deep and Del Potro has to make extra shots all the time.

How many posts have you made about this? Really, just watch the match, you are making a fool of yourself.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Any tweets from Nick regarding that moment when Djokovic whacked the ball after a double fault?

 

[Red Rick]

Odds of Djoko breaking straight back?

 

[StrongRule]

Del Potro still breaks. Djokovic played a really bad game.

 

[Red Rick]

What is this clay. They keep having to reach low for the ball bounce.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Del Porto playing immense tennis. I like the guy and pleased he playing well. As a novak fan, obviously want Djoko to win but seeing delpo playing so well is good for tennis!

 

[Gazelle]

Why doesn't Delpo have a better serve? There's something lacking about his serve, can't put my finger on it.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

i think its hilarious u kids talking smack about kyrgios. u wouldnt say this to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol

 

[StrongRule]

Looks like it will be a straight rebreak.
