Too bad Borna couldn't hit another four aces in the tiebreak and clean another dozen lines to get a TTW passing grade. Too too bad...

yes, too bad he couldn't play a single quality attacking point on his set points
if Djokovic came up with a laser pass or something, so be it
instead we go the safe pushbotting route until someone misses, and that someone is obviously not Djokovic
very smart play, no? such bravery.
 
anyway this all comes down to Coric FH not being top quality at all, he'll never be even say a Nishikori level player with such a glaring weakness

Why you always so negative all the time? :confused:

You are delusional if you didn’t think Coric choked away those set points like Fed at W 19.

And what are you on about? Prime Nadal wipes the floor with prime Fed.

You are delusional if you don't think Federer didn't choke like crazy in absolutely pathetic fashion in every single close match he lost to Nadal. How could Nadal have been so great if he struggled with this absolute weakass choker??

Yeah man, remember 2009 Wimbledon final, the tiebreak, the volley. Who cares how well Roddick played up to that point if a momentary shaky blip undid all his effort in that set? Not many indeed. No use playing at 9000% when you switch to 10% at the precipice of winning.

You don't have to tell me it would have been better if both Roddick and Coric bent over at the very start like they usually do. :D Borna is not hyped as a titan of any sort while with the Virus y'all try way too hard.
 
Almost a perfect copy of the match with Krajinovic. Djokovic refusing the chances to run away with the second set while his opponent missed chances previously in the tiebreak.

Does anyone know what Djokovic needs to do to hold on to number 1?

He wins this match, it’s basically done. Technically Rafa could still enter Sofia and have a chance but a lot of things would have to fall into place that has never happened. So Novak is YE#1.

Well Roddick was really good when he wasn't choking, too bad he choked quite a lot.

Coric is supposed to be a strong era stalwart given his six H2H wins over Big 4, guess h2h doesn't mean that much after all :giggle:

Thank god. After RG, this'll be something to look forward to put in his array of accomplishments.

Rafa doesn't care about YE#1. His eyes on AO21. he is still hungry for GS.

I agree W08 was chokery by Nadal. Getting stretched to 5 sets from 2 sets to love up is chokery. But all is well that ends well

Fred was a choke machine for full 2.5 sets until Nadal finally obliged letting that triple BP go. If anything, Fed is the one who should have won in straights since he was the better player for like 70% of those 2.5 sets but lost nearly all clutch points. Ridiculous.

No need to be disingenuous. It's obviously because of whose on the other side. I'm sure you're aware that Djokovic's style draws a lot of errors from opponents. This isn't a hard thing to comprehend.

Ah yes, the mythical power of forcing unforced errors.
hint: you draw errors by hitting balls with uncomfortable depth (very deep / very short) or spin (very high / very low [slice]). Solid neutral rallying at 2/3 depth ending in a wild miss = sukk.

LOLLL Ok. Fed has never lost a match. He has only gift wrapped matches for his rivals. He is the GOAT of gift wrapping. Why is so tough for fed fans to see the truth that prime vs prime Nadal always had the upper hand in most of their matches except at WTF. According to Fed fans Fed has always won or gift wrapped matches to other players. How can you write this with a straight face???:-D:-D:-D:-D
