2021 US Open R4: Novak Djokovic vs. Jenson Brooksby

[Deleted member 762343]

Can this kid stop getting everything back ? It's mean.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Bad decisions from Brooksby keeping Novak in this match.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Ffs man...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This guy is wasting chances.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko is hanging on here.

 

[Sudacafan]

Zverev in 1R was looking better than Djokovic in 1R
Zverev in 2R was looking better than Djokovic in 2R
Zverev in 3R was looking better than Djokovic in 3R
Zverev in 4R was looking better than Djokovic in 4R

How many proofs do you need to believe Djokovic's run ends in the SF?

The SF match will suffice.

 

[James P]

That BH just missed.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Brooksby and Harris both impress me.

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Novak is getting pissed…

 

[GabeT]

Novak does NOT have a weak serve for the 100th time. He has an ATG serve - only slightly lower than Federer's.

Most posters here have no clue about tennis

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Bad decisions from Brooksby keeping Novak in this match.

Novak will make him pay.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

First pro match determined by however can get to their opponents overhead first

The same tactic used in Super Tennis on SNES

 

[MeatTornado]

Peak Novak right there. Just barely getting his racket on it for 3 shots in a row, but that's all you need to do. Just keep it in play.

 

[The Fedfather]

Brooksby is getting better as the game goes on.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

A lot to learn for Brooksby here like with that overshot ball on break point. But it’s ok as he’s going to drop a set or 2 even if he wins this.

 

[jga111]

Brooksby’s tennis iq is off the scale

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

15 minute game!

 

[El_Yotamo]

Jelena's worried face is the most annoying meme ever. Like b*tch you know what comes next better than anyone else

 

[Deleted member 762343]

The French male commentator doesn't even try to hide he's cheering heavily for Boobsby.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Brooksby should have broken him there. Court wide open and he Tstsi'd it

 

[skip1969]

0/5 break points. Fed numbers.

 

[Open Stance]

Needs to make more first serves

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Even though Novak is ahead a break, this game feels as though it could be pivotal.

 

[bigjimbofan]

This is a bruising game.

 

[Bubcay]

The amount of unforced errors Djokovic is making is staggering..

 

[Jokervich]

This kid is going to be FINISHED and get tired. Too much running. Expect him to take an MTO after this set, and retire in the 4th most likely.
This is Novak's strategy all along.

Probably, but Brooksby looks like he's playing really well. Only 20 years old. Didn't expect him to be this difficult.

 

[TennisFan3]

Considering Novak has won EVERY SINGLE close match for the last decade or so..I agree with you. His rivals should be stressed. Not his camp.

 

[Ace of Aces]

Quality servebotting

 

[StifleYourself]

This is all I ask for. I’m not a fan of any one player, I just want to see competitive matches where if someone is overmatched they give their all. It used to be the norm.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Novak does NOT have a weak serve for the 100th time. He has an ATG serve - only slightly lower than Federer's.

This tournament his serve is PATHETIC as you say.

 

[The Green Mile]

Nearing 20 minutes for this game

 

[Jack the Hack]

Zverev in 1R was looking better than Djokovic in 1R
Zverev in 2R was looking better than Djokovic in 2R
Zverev in 3R was looking better than Djokovic in 3R
Zverev in 4R was looking better than Djokovic in 4R

How many proofs do you need to believe Djokovic's run ends in the SF?

The proof I need would be Zverev winning more sets than Djoker in the semifinal.

Meanwhile, Novak needs to curb stomp this kid like he's a narc at a biker rally.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Jesus man can this game end already

 

[SeeingDusk]

Is brooksby the most consistent player on tour now? Guy does not miss and has a nice slice too. His footwork and movement is very efficient.

 

[MeatTornado]

0/5 break points. Fed numbers.

Losing the points on 2nd serves and by hitting it to the wrong half of the court too.

This kid is Fed incarnate.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Many of us Tennis fanatics saw the potential of Brooksby at the Newport tournament.

Beforehand I remember him being the one who retired Berdych in 2019.

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

This tournament his serve is PATHETIC as you say.

109mph ace

 

[romeo8880]

Imagine Federer serving for this long.

 

[fundrazer]

The amount of unforced errors Djokovic is making is staggering..

Shades of that Simon match in Australia. I was thinking if this match turned into something like that then it would be how Brooksby could win.

 

[swordtennis]

That serve out wide is one of the greatest ever

 

[Deleted member 762343]

This is a bruising game.

So is confirmed future ATG with 20 slams, no?

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Is brooksby the most consistent player on tour now? Guy does not miss and has a nice slice too. His footwork and movement is very efficient.

Yeah his slice is why I drew the Murray comparison. But Gilles Simon might be more accurate as someone else said.

 

[TennisFan3]

Brooksby is getting better as the game goes on.

He is losing speed and stamina. He will have NOTHING left. He already had 5 sets before he got here. He won't last a couple of more sets at this rate - the amount of running he is doing.

 

[The Devil probably]

Damn, is this one of the longest games ever?

 

[skip1969]

Djoker's serving has been pretty bad.

 

[MeatTornado]

Imagine Federer serving for this long.

Millman 2018 PTSD intensifies

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

109mph ace

Followed by a df lol. Wouldn’t say the serve is good or bad, just erratic

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak djokovic is really wasting a lot of energy.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Someone bring in a women to serve for Djoker please
