2022 Roland Garros R4: [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [15] Diego Schwartzman

[UnforcedTerror]

This could get messy for Djokovic. Can the little fighter end Djokovic's streak at RG?

Vote and discuss.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Diego can help tire Novak out for the bull. I would definitely rather have Felix than Diego in my side of the draw..

 

[Mediterranean Might]

Nole in 4 and I'm being generous to Diego here

 

[I Am Finnish]

A test for the Egg

 

[Jonesy]

Shortsman is a good warm up before facing the healthy player.

 

[20 20 20]

Nole in straight, with bakery product in one set at least, Diego won't make even one set interesting.

 

[InsideOut900]

So Shorty has played either Nadal or Djokovic in every year since 2017, except 2019.

 

[onyxrose81]

Novak needs a test and Diego is a test.

 

[Deleted member 765728]

It's good for Djovak to play a steady baseliner like Diego before a potential clash with Ned. He should win, though I won't be surprised if he loses a set.

Bro. Not even 2018 or 2020 Rafa could bagel Schwartzman at RG, so Djokovic isn't doing it either.

 

[Winners or Errors]

I don't see Diego having the weapons to defeat Djokovic, so he's going to have to outlast him. I don't see that, either. We'll see. They do have to play the match.

 

[llgtennislegend]

Real test starts here. Novak in 4 or 5.

 

[TripleATeam]

Diego in 3. Djokovic beat his opponents in straights, but his dominance ratio was around 1.6 so he's been actually very close to losing.

But really Djokovic in 3.

I concur with your logico-methodological analysis.

But 2021 did. What does it tell us?

Last 2 years Rafa faced him once he won one other lost so cannot say much

Schwartzman in straights.

Capy Bara played great that year

 

[ADuck]

Unfortunately for Djokovic, nothing can stop Schwartzman from meeting Nadal at RG for the millionth time. Novak will put up a good fight but the curse will be too much. Schwartzman in 5

 

[Pheasant]

Djoker will tee off on Diego's serves. I'm taking Djoker in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2, 6-3. I'm giving Diego lots of credit here. He'll win a whopping 11 games against Djoker.

Not bagel neccessary but breadstick will also work, and Diego matches up well against nadal can't say the same against novak

 

[darthrafa]

will be a four set match but either one can win it and the winner will be the one takes the second set

 

[Sport]

But 2021 did. What does it tell us?

Wow.

He pushed Novak to 5 at RG 2017. Granted, it was Novak's worst version, but we have no other evidence from RG to suggest "he matchs up bad against Novak". They played no more times in the Philippe Chatrier.

Schwartzman was 2-1 sets up

 

[DSH]

The dwarf will become giant and send the unvaccinated back home.
'Peque' in five sets!

So Shorty has played either Nadal or Djokovic in every year since 2017, except 2019.

He had to face Federer in the fourth round but he didn't want to tire Grandpa and lost earlier.

 

[PrinceMoron]

As long as Djokovic doesn’t mistake Allheartzman for a ball kid he should escape relatively unscathed

Diego can be tricky as he doesn't really surrender no matter the score, plus he has a great BH (which helps against Djovak) and return and obviously moves well. If he's in a mood to play, he'll make Novak work hard. The problem is that he hasn't been in a good form for a long time, except maybe this RG (didn't watch him in Rome).

 

[TennisFan3]

Schwartzman in straights.

What's with the reverse predictions?

His scoreline against Dimitrov suggest his form is quite good

Didn't expect such a beatdown to be honest. Will check some extended highlights.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Diego in 5, just cuz I want Djo to lose and have to suffer through it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic to win through in 4!

 

[Third Serve]

I expect nothing less than 3 sets for Diego and will voice my complaints on TTW if he doesn’t achieve this.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I have been impressed with Diego's level of play so far in this tournament and hope his happiness increases and his good fortune continues!

 

[TheNachoMan]

This is a very strange thread.

 

[Kralingen]

Diego just has nothing on his serve at the moment. It’s theoretically a tough match and I’m sure there will be multiple breaks, but I find it hard to see Diego clutching out 3 sets against Novak, even if he goes up a break in them. Just don’t think he will cross the finish line.

Novak in 4. He will have to raise his level from the baseline without a doubt.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Cmon Dibaego

Trust me I don't lol, Dibaego is fine

 

[20 20 20]

Day match so chances are even less for Diego. He is probably the only guy Novak hopes to not play at night

 

[Tenacity]

Why are they not playing on PC, this is Novak's, defending champion btw, 2nd match on Lenglen already too, while potentially playing Nadal next round on PC.

 

[albatros_forehand]

The Liarovic out in 4. Vamos Diego!!

 

[Kralingen]

That's a weird choice, but far more concerning for Djokovic fans should be the timing.

Both Nadal and Djokovic play the earlier afternoon matches while Alcaraz gets the night session.

This basically guarantees a day match for their QF. Looks like it's no longer the Djokovic Open...

 

[zuluzazu]

Bruh in day conditions the Ball will jump twice the height of Diego. This is a straight set beatdown although will win more games than what Nadal will win against Djokovic

Of course because Nadal will win ZERO games against Chocoviche should they meet in the QF. Choco is in the BEST form of his life on CLAY and will ABSOLUTELY DISMANTLE everyone to DEFEND his title. He will EAT Shortzman for BREAKFAST and then DESTROY Nadal or FAA and TEACH Alcatraz a good LESSON.

Yeah agree with you. I forgot using upper case in my post. Sorry without them my post is meaningless

You guys need some confidence in your guy.

Personally the way for me is to huff the paint, 19 times per day, which then produces healthy thoughts about Korda, Nadal, and life in general.

You prolly forgot to practice being a stranger deliberately for 23 days. In that way no one could trouble Nadal ALOT.
