Hope espn sticks with Djokovic.
None that I can think of.
Didn't win him the match.How about this one?
None that I can think of.
Still, he does it far too often.How about this one?
Shapo plays Sasha, unless they put him on a plane back to Germany after the Tsitsipas match.Let's hope that Shapo doesn't face Struff vs Germany. He always loses to him.
Vasseline is a great doubles player, no.15 in the world atm. OTOH, Troicki is not exactly at the peak of his career.This is just the Perfect example that the #1 Doubles player Nico Mahut can't carry the Weakest link Roger-Vasseline against 2 very solid players in doubles. Mahut would blown these two guys away if he had his Normal partner. Djokovic now thinks he is a great doubles player ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WRONG...
Djokovic’s gestures once again.
As great a player he is, his behaviour mostly creates a desire for distance.
What?
At 7-3 in the final set TB, Mahut had a fault and serbian fans started cheering. Djokovic told them to stay quiet. Can you expect this from Federer or anyone?
What really happened?That's not what happened.
What really happened?
I believe the matchups are not subjective... 2nd ranked player plays 2nd ranked player, and 1st ranked player plays 1st ranked player.Let's hope that Shapo doesn't face Struff vs Germany. He always loses to him.
Tennis Channel actually did a good job going back and forth...no split screen
Serbia should've won this in straights. Still, clutch AF in the end

He isn't the greatest volleyer but would win slams in doubles if he wanted to focus on that, same as majority of top singles players could. I don't think he said he's a great doubles player though, did he? And he's actually #2 singles player atm and I think your theory of French team going easy on him is silly. They all played their hearts out imo.so you are saying Novak is a great doubles player ?? LOL. he can't volley.. Mahut and Vasseline were being very nice to Novak and didn't hit rocket shots right at him to pick on him because Novak is #1 singles player in the world and they didn't want to make him mad and have his wrath against them in the locker room. Doubles guys are 2nd class players on the ATP tour and they can't afford to have top singles guy mad at them.
Is there something wrong with you? Of course Djokovic isn't a great doubles player, but it isn't the case that the better tennis player always wins (these are called upsets). Plus, it's not like Djokovic has the power to do anything to tennis players, especially doubles players.so you are saying Novak is a great doubles player ?? LOL. he can't volley..

If Djokovic had the ability to make a doubles player bend to his whim, he'd never lose a doubles match. But he does, frequently.
Moreover, it's insulting to imply the French team wouldn't play to the best of their ability when they play for their country.

severe exhaustion or even some minor ailment, anyway he was totally battered after his Washington-Canada-Cincy-USO-Shanghai run, withdrew from Vienna and the DC, lost R1 at Bercy, and collapsed against Nadal at the WTF.Why could he not play like this during WTF
And how is that relevant?
Herbert is playing in Doha atm.
doesn't explain Skupski's absence then, no?The actual rules are that the team is
- The two (2) highest ranked singles players; then
- The highest ATP Ranking (Singles or Doubles) of the next three (3) players.
we've already discussed lengthily how easy it is to display emotions at team events (see Laver cup).After beating Kevin Anderson (ranked in the 90s), Djokovic carried on like he'd just won Wimbledon.
Despite the narrative many on here are trying to tell, playing for their county is important to these guys.
I’m enjoying the atmosphere so far. It does make sense to have a tournament like this at the start of the season, you know, like a huge training camp where players get the feel and build some momentum.
I see. If that's all you meant by that, I apologize for sounding hostile. It seemed like you were implying some unsavory things about both Djokovic and the French doubles team.I just meant Mahut with his big time backhand and Vasseline with his big forehand, they weren't gunning for Novak right at his body. Normally you need to do that with guy with slowest hands at net and bit of clumsy netplay footwork like Novak has.
I just don’t understand his moods. At the decisive WTF match against Federer he seemed to be disinterested and lethargic. At Wimbledon, when he had all the right in the world, he almost didn’t celebrate at all.What?

As expected. Nadal always needs 1 match to get his form right and get acclimated to the conditions and the surface. Are you watch this on Tennis TV or EuroSport? I don't know if Tennis Channel is showing ATP Cup live.Watching Rafa Cuevas replay.
Good match from Rafa! Great serving and FHDTL!! Looking good!
Less than 2 weeks before AO starts!
