2021 US Open R4: Novak Djokovic vs. Jenson Brooksby

[The Green Mile]

OMG, insane point

 

[mightyrick]

Imagine if Brokksby develops a Rafter type serve. He guts it out like an Aussie.

It would be unreal if he did that. Although it's easy to see why he's so rally tolerant. His serve sucks... so he had to develop his game around other strengths in order to win games.

When your serve sucks, you had better be *ultra* rally tolerant. You have no choice.

One more ball...one more ball... one more ball... one more ball...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Deuce.

 

[zagor]

I could take losing to any of the other players but Brooksby?!

He'll probably lose his legs as long as Novak prolongs the match. Can't let him go up 2-0 though, kid could tank the 3d set to recover then.

 

[Ace of Aces]

That’s quality stuff

 

[romeo8880]

This is epic stuff. He’s beating Novak at his own game in these points lol

 

[Genious at Work]

What a shot OMG!

Darn it, my ESPN is running with a huge delay. Indeed, what shot.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow what a rally! Unreal from both men!

 

[James P]

My god, that rally

 

[SteffiGoat]

With better decision-making, this guy could be an absolute beast.

 

[Bubcay]

Well, Brooksby does have BHDTL....

Now Djokovic has it too

 

[Jokervich]

Honestly think the upset could happen now. This kid is just getting all balls back and Djokovic looks flat and out of ideas.

 

[El_Yotamo]

What a shame that point for Brooksby, he needs to win more points off his serve and smashes

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak with a "Welcome to the NFL, rook" point

 

[Zardoz7/12]

WHAT A POINT.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Wow a backhand DTL from Djoker. Haven't seen that since 2015

 

[AO13]

If Brooksby loses this set, the last two sets will be something like 6:1, 6:2 for Djokovic.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Not looking good

 

[TennisFan3]

He'll probably lose his legs as long as Novak prolongs the match. Can't let him go up 2-0 though, kid could tank the 3d set to recover then.

This will be over in 4. Novak will get this set. And then the kid will fade away starting set 3. Set 4 he either retires with an MTO or stops moving.
No way he can last with his previous long matches and all the running he is doing.

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

20 year old looks way more tired than the 34 year old

 

[kevin qmto]

This is the most tired I’ve seen Novak after less than 2 sets.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Novak trying to make this more physical.

 

[TennisFan3]

If Brooksby loses this set, the last two sets will be something like 6:1, 6:2 for Djokovic.

Put a bagel in there.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

If Brooksby loses this set, the last two sets will be something like 6:1, 6:2 for Djokovic.

Djokovic will get picked off if he keeps playing this crappy tennis sooner or later.

 

[SteffiGoat]

My goodness Brooksby!!!

 

[El_Yotamo]

Insanity

 

[davced1]

WHAT A POINT.

And the turning point of the match? Djokovic often win a crazy point like that and then take off.

 

[a10best]

The guy is 6'3" and cant serve bigger than Gauff or Osaka? WT

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He just made it I think

 

[romeo8880]

Mark my words this kid will either collapse or start cramping badly lol

 

[MichaelNadal]

This is fn nuts

 

[Swingmaster]

Djoker is playing pretty well, really. Brooksby will probably cool down, but if not, no shame for Djoker.

 

[TennisFan3]

And the turning point of the match? Djokovic often win a crazy point like that and then take off.

Exactly my thought. This could be it right here.

 

[bigjimbofan]

What a point !

 

[El_Yotamo]

Djokovic will get picked off if he keeps playing this crappy tennis sooner or later.

Not against Berry, at least not the Matteo that played today

 

[James P]

WHAT THE HECK. Jaw dropping performance by both players.

It's crazy to think a twenty something kid won't outlast a 30 something senior player.

 

[Ace of Aces]

This has been the best 30 min stretch of the Open

 

[Deleted member 781523]

this is awesome stuff

 

[OddJack]

Boy I am enjoying this match

 

[TennisFan3]

The guy is 6'3" and cant serve bigger than Gauff or Osaka? WT

He's actually 6 ft 4 inches and his serve is SUPER WEAK.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This kid is not getting in his first serve.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

If the crowd was against Fed as much as they were against Nole everywhere, he would have 7 slams to his name

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Another BP chance for Novak!

 

[fundrazer]

It's crazy to think a twenty something kid won't outlast a 30 something senior player.

To be fair Brooksby has been on court for a long time so far this tournament.

 

[Third Serve]

If the crowd was against Fed as much as they were against Nole everywhere, he would have 7 slams to his name

All-time lol statement

 

[alinefx]

If the crowd was against Fed as much as they were against Nole everywhere, he would have 7 slams to his name

Rent Free.

 

[SeeingDusk]

This match is getting better and better. Crazy good long rallies.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That was pathetic

 

[SteffiGoat]

That was not the shot to be played Brooksby!!
