It's incredible how bad Djokovic is allowed to play without even being in danger of losing a match against top 8 opposition.

Still, he will be in really big trouble in the semi-finals no matter who he plays.
Yeah, he is at 60% of his real peak capacity and still winning the match... Rublev is such a disappointment..

After all these years, after all the titles, after all the accolades......people still never learn.

Djokovic will win if he wants to win. If he is prepared to go through the coals..........

I don't think he is for this tournament.........

He has a capability to adjust his level based on the opponents performance. Lifts it just enough to win... He will play much better when challenged more. Tonight, this is enough.

Without his disgusting acebotting Djokovic has played like he’s still drunk off the 9 beers from the Ruud match. Shows how much respect he has for these guys lol

Do you guys think Djokovic served really well or was it more a case of Rublev's return position making it look better than it was? :unsure:

Clearly both were nervous meeting each other for the first time. Djokovic just shook that off eventually. :p

Dream Medovic final is still set. (y)
 
Djokovic keeps up his great record of having a positive H2H over the top 10 players. Still only 11 players lead Djokovic in whole of his career in h2h. Only 2 of them lead him by 2 (krygios, safin) the rest by 1 win. He now adds rublev to list of all the top 10 players he leads. Amazing achievements by the super Serb!

I think all four of the players in the second group are tougher than everyone left in the first group except for Djokovic.
Can we give the fourth semifinal spot to the third-best guy in the Red Group? Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, Sinner would be a cool semifinal lineup.

I guess one consolation is whoever makes it through here will be easy pickings for Med in the semifinal.

i would put Ruud slightly ahead of Hurk.
Disagree. Hurk has done better in the bigger tournaments while Ruud has made a name for himself this year by winning lots of smaller titles and the like. Perhaps by sheer weight of achievement, Ruud might be the better player, but I think a top player would prefer to play him over Hurkacz.
