2022 Rome QF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs Félix Auger-Aliassime [8]

[Third Serve]

ok Felix you got another shot here, take it

 

[Beerus]

I swear Djokovic is doing this intentionally. No other explanation for him to play stupid shots like this when serving out the match.

He has FAA on a string in rallies if he wants to but decides to try ridiculous drop shots lol.

Gambling?

 

[Bubcay]

Well, Djokovic is mugging this now.

 

[ojo rojo]

If these mugs let FAA win a slam, post-covid tennis results should be officially voided o:O

 

[onyxrose81]

Lordt…

 

[LetWinner]

Man Novak really not liking these 9th games of sets

 

[mahatma]

didnt see a break back coming. woah!

 

[Bubcay]

What an awful game by Djokovic...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Lol at djokovic fans getting upset here. Like he’s gonna lose this.

 

[TheAssassin]

Seriously?

 

[InsideOut900]

Novak, gtfo mate

 

[mike danny]

FAA to choke when serving to stay in the set then?

 

[Beulah Jesus]

FAA still alive somewhat...

 

[onyxrose81]

I have no idea about Djokovic’s shot selection.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

 

[Jonesy]

Superman is proud of you Felix

 

[Nadal_King]

Well a fit Nadal will eat this sloppy Djokovic for dinner but will he be fit that us the question

 

[RF-18]

Djoko is stupid sometimes. I'm tired of seeing those dropshots

 

[ojo rojo]

Will be short lived. Breaks straight back or takes the tiebreak..

 

[LeungD]

That was not weird at all...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

FAA to choke when serving to stay in the set then?

Why are we….. living in such muggery.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Apart from reach no.9 in the world.

"Number 9 in the world" is just another word for "mug" around here. Even if you do it before reaching legal drinking age.

 

[onyxrose81]

Djokovic to serve it out…welp. Let’s see how this goes.

It did not go well.

 

[NoleFam]

He is still going for this stupid shots when it's time to close out sets. That drop shot was more like a lob.

 

[LeungD]

Is that FAA's sister?

 

[mahatma]

It's too late in India. But Djokovic won't allow this to end early. Stupid choke

 

[Deleted member 791948]

Well a fit Nadal will eat this sloppy Djokovic for dinner but will he be fit that us the question

Nadal will be fit because they have a day-off between rounds at RG, that's the key to his foot surviving, or that and avoiding a marathon

 

[initialize]

C'mon Felix! Everyone is rooting for you!

 

[Kralingen]

Gambling?

I took Djokovic 2-0 and it should have been over about half an hour ago lol

 

[mahatma]

He is still going for this stupid shots when it's time to close out sets. That drop shot was more like a lob.

Some replies require and not likes. When do we get reactions in ttw?

Well, at least he doesn't lose slams because of this

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It’s amazing how novak fans are not optimistic even when he’s up.

 

[Beerus]

Djokovic knows that the Norse God is waiting for him so maybe some part of him doesn't want to win this match.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

I'm starting to notice this pattern in Djokovic matches.
He's up in a service game in which he's serving for the set or the match, (usually 30-15), tries to play an overly cheeky shot and misses, suddenly the pressure's back on him, loses the next point, the opponent gains in confidence and proceeds to break him.

You can almost set your clock to it.

 

[guanzishou]

That fh inside out winner from Novak was so huuuge!!!!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I am gonna write a song about these mugsters .

 

[Third Serve]

It’s amazing how novak fans are not optimistic even when he’s up.

To be fair this is hardly a phenomenon unique to Djokovic fans.

 

[mahatma]

I feel he wants to really master drop shots for last 15 years. Still not there though

Doesn’t matter he will prevail.

 

[flyingboris]

Some replies require and not likes. When do we get reactions in ttw?

We got them, and then they took them away because apparently people were being mean / sarcastic / obtuse. That's why it no longer says "x liked your post", but rather "x reacted to your post with like". They didn't quite undo that option correctly. #ttwhistory

 

[RF-18]

Typical. Now he holds like that.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

To be fair this is hardly a phenomenon unique to Djokovic fans.

He doesn’t have to be against these mugsters. He finds a way.

 

[Bubcay]

Where was this service game when he was serving for the match...

 

[Noleberic123]

2012 and 2015 Fred would've beaten the Next Gen at RG and I'm not even joking.

Fed was horrible in 2012.

 

[TheAssassin]

A COMPLETE CLONE of the previous set. Djokovic has 30-15 when serving for it, Felix wins seven consecutive points to get back to 5-5, then Djokovic holds to love.

 

[mahatma]

We got them, and then they took them away because apparently people were being mean / sarcastic / obtuse. That's why it no longer says "x liked your post", but rather "x reacted to your post with like". They didn't quite undo that option correctly. #ttwhistory

you mean they reverted, but forgot to revert it all. lol, cool. Thanks for the little ttw history

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Novak is all business this evening. His forehand is GOATing

 

[mike danny]

Fed was horrible in 2012.

He wasn't great, but it would be enough against the Next Gen. Let's not pretend like Novak wasn't stinking up the court against Musetti, Tsitsipas and parts of the Berrettini match and he still got away with it.

 

[LeungD]

Where was this service game when he was serving for the match...

Integrity unit to ban a few more players in the 500s after this match.

 

[RS]

Djokovic is also an awful matchup for Ruud.

Welcome back.
