2021 US Open R4: Novak Djokovic vs. Jenson Brooksby

[I Am Finnish]

He is a counter puncher no wonder Djokovic struggles lol

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

The shot clock not being a shot clock remains an all-time plot twist.

 

[James P]

Come on kid, get back into it!

 

[mightyrick]

Both guys look totally gassed.

 

[Ace of Aces]

Brooksby really is allergic to open court

 

[Lleytonstation]

Why does ngbs always get tired or hurt half way through matches.

 

[Rudiiii]

A simple statement: he hasn’t been top shelf since Zverev rallied from a set down at OG to win. He had his chance to rebound in the bronze medal match but you choose to ignore that.

You’ve proven you’re here just to argue and to make excuses, especially when wrong. Where is this horrendous crowd behavior you used as a crutch?Lots of applause when ND won the second set!

Pointless discussion because you’re going to see things your way no matter what. In legal parlance, juror Rudiiii is excused from duty because of prejudice.

Please don’t respond. I bow to your superior logic and take on things. You win.

Crowd is great, I was at wrong at that part. After two defeats in semis at OG, you would think he lost motivation for bronze. And I didn't make any excuse, I am not sure why are you using that word constantly, just sad he has hard draw,as your first comment was that his draw is not as hard as others are suggesting.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Brooksby's biggest issue I've seen so far is his shot selection and decision-making.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I wonder what Berrettini is thinking

 

[Raul_SJ]

All these young guys clearly don’t train properly

This kid looks fit to go five sets. We see no signs of fatigue. Nope.
Yet the announcer says a possible strategy is for 34 year old Djoker to physically wear him down.

I’d say it’s his 108 mph first serve. There are shorter, older 4.5 guys that serve bigger.

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic looks winded...

 

[Ace of Aces]

Both guys look gassed. Could be an ugly finish

Djokovic is definitely FEELING it right now

 

[MeatTornado]

Death, taxes, and Novak up the T on break points.

 

[celito]

Of Brooksby gets a second wind he can at least prolong this

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko still a bit tight here. Still making this physical is right strategy from Djoko. He’s tiring the young guy out.

 

[racquetreligion]

Or maybe I did watch his other matches and I used some common sense which it seems you seem to lack. Playing Fritz is not the same as playing Djokovic, it's mainly serves/returns and winners and UE. In this match he's had to play longer points and longer games and has tired much more quickly.

Btw, playing one long match doesn't excuse running out of steam early on in a match 4 days (!) later. Remember when guys were winning slams playing 5 setter marathons in both their SF and F rounds? That's stamina. Not whatever we're watching now.

Embarrassing, not just what's happening on court but perhaps moreso your analysis

Lol your common sense comment says you are a little broken hearted which prob doesnt take much
Fritz and Karat where playing well with more competitive time on the court of recent than Nole.

You lack a certain amount of neurons to thing consecutive 5 set matches as a droner
will not affect anyone later in the tournament. How many players have beaten Nadal
only to be mentally fried for their next match? even my 9 year old knows this.
Remember the past 5 setters of the greats does not change the fact this is a different game
in homogenized conditions at a level those past greats wouldnt even make the qualies.

Look at BrooksB he is still pushing Nole very well but previous long matches are telling

---Just to add, BrooksB is 6 foot 4 and recovery has never been kind to bigger bodied players

 

[celito]

Anything over 4 shots Brooksby has 37 x 28 edge . Wow . Unlike Djoko

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

djoker looking like hes gonna get through. but he gonna lose this tournament ultimately. He hasn't had a legit convincing win since Anderson at wimbledon. if he thinks he can just 'outlast" the opponent the next 3 rounds when the opponents get better the next 3 rounds, hes in trouble

 

[Fed881981]

The only other player who does this to Djokovic is Stan.

 

[Bubcay]

Every game is a war now. Endurance is key here.

 

[James P]

LMAO, still won't hit to the open court...lucks out and wins a point anyway. Jeez

 

[SteffiGoat]

Brooksby won that point but why can't he ****ing end the point earlier by hitting the open court ffs!!

 

[Larry Duff]

He needs to learn to hit into the open court

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I think Brooksby doesn’t want the open court because he doesn’t want Djokovic chasing it down and putting angle on it and engaging in that kind of rally. He wants to keep the ball in the same direction, mix up the spins etc and then only go down the line when it’s absolutely on.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Djokovic very stressed and very angry.

 

[Deleted member 783101]

Djoker's still struggling to realize how solid brooksby is from the baseline

 

[gadge]

The only other player who does this to Djokovic is Stan.

Nah Stan hits him off the court, not tire him

 

[Third Serve]

@MeatTornado scheduling that drive to Flushing now

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Massive hold for Novak!

 

[Lleytonstation]

McEnroe thinks every young player will win multiple majors.

 

[TennisFan3]

Death, Taxes and Novak Djokovic in SLAMS. These are the only 3 certain things in life.

No matter what happens, Novak always finds a way. That is why he is the GOAT.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

This is so physical

 

[Lleytonstation]

Death, Taxes and Novak Djokovic in SLAMS. These are the only 3 certain things in life.

No matter what happens, Novak always finds a way. That is why he is the GOAT.

Nah, three things in life, death, taxes, and ngbs.

 

[TennisFan3]

Jeez it was one match, he’ll do a lot better this time

Nope. STRAIGHT sets. Guaranteed. Let's wait till Sunday.

 

[gadge]

McEnroe thinks every young player will win multiple majors.

He won’t win with that serve

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Death, Taxes and Novak Djokovic in SLAMS. These are the only 3 certain things in life.

only because this kid lost his legs after 1 set. Med/Zverev wont lose their legs like this early. If Djoker serves like a mug against them, hes done. He's gonna be broke almost every service game

 

[The Green Mile]

Could be. Even though the open court was absolutely on. Reminds me of Ferrer a little bit, he would stubbornly not hit to open court at times throughout his career when it was on.

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic very stressed and very angry.

He must be angry at himself for having so many errors. So frustrating..

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think he will get past berra if he comes through here. I agree though it’s tough to see him passing Zverev or Meddy but one thing we learnt is as long as Novak still in the draw you can never count him out.

 

[gogo]

What a horrible match. I'm really not enjoying this.

 

[TennisFan3]

He wont win a calendar slam serving like this. He can't beat Zverev/Med back to back with a 10 percent first serve percentage

You always say this. But you're always proven to be incorrect. He will WIN CYGS and beat everyone of them. And it won't be in long matches either.
You are OVERRATING the next gen as usual. Zverev and Med are MUGS.

 

[MeatTornado]

@MeatTornado scheduling that drive to Flushing now

I already left 10 minutes ago

 

[James P]

Nice 1-2.

 

[Larry Duff]

Amazing what happens when you do hit into the space

 

[TennisFan3]

only because this kid lost his legs after 1 set. Med/Zverev wont lose their legs like this early. If Djoker serves like a mug against them, hes done. He's gonna be broke almost every service game

Let's wait. He will thrash Zverev and Med. Won't be in as much trouble against them. That's a different matchup.
And Zverev is not even guaranteed to go through. He could lose to Harris. You keep overrating the next gen.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

only because this kid lost his legs after 1 set. Med/Zverev wont lose their legs like this early. If Djoker serves like a mug against them, hes done. He's gonna be broke almost every service game

I agree djoker will need to play better then this against them. The thing is he’s done that before but still it’s gonna be tough.

 

[James P]

I's starting to feel sympathy windedness for both players.

 

[Genious at Work]

Brooksby better go all the way or The Fedal Trust isn't wiring the funds to that Cayman Island account.
