Finally a Greek Era meme for Djokovic
@King No1e

 

[Kralingen]

Kokk to come out treeing, pulsating and excited, and explode to take the first set in a TB. Unfortunately Novak will capitalize on his refractory period and win the next 3 .

 

[Aabye5]

Thanasi has a chance!

 

[Mike Sams]

Thanassi is a bum. Tennis is just a side hobby for him.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Kokkinakis has a positive H2H against four Wimbledon finalists: Federer, Cilic, Raonic, and Berdych.

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

Kokkinakis of course

 

[Tennfan123]

Kokkinakis in four.

 

[BillKid]

Thanasi has a chance!

You could compete for the title of most optimistic on TTW. I like it!

 

[McGradey]

The Kokk will provide plenty of thrust and a deep, driving effort is to be expected, particularly in the early exchanges.
After The Kokk's initial explosion is handled, I expect The Djok to clean house in three simmering sets.

 

[Cindysphinx]

Is Djokovic going to show up with that FH and overhead he brought to the first round?

 

[SonicNirvana]

easier match for Djokovic

 

[Rosstour]

Kokk is like DelPo. Can only do anything in big matches if it's Fed.

Sort of the inverse of Kyrgios, who beasts vs Nadalovic but rolls over for Fed

 

[Bud]

Kokkinakis of course

kokkinakis and peniston should play doubles together

 

[tsp_207]

Djokovic really needs to fire himself up for his next matches. He seemed way too lethargic against Kwon. Hopefully it's just monday first round blues.

 

[weakera]

Kyrgios needs to be in Kokk's box

 

[Cupcake]

Is Djokovic going to show up with that FH and overhead he brought to the first round?

Some people suspect he has covid...

 

[Aabye5]

Some people suspect he has covid...

So, not a cold? He was definitely sick, but so was Hubi.

 

[Cupcake]

So, not a cold? He was definitely sick, but so was Hubi.

Who knows. If he even took a test, he'd never admit having it.
I'd guess a lot of players would not admit to testing positive if they were not very sick. Especially with such an open draw.

That would be terrible.

Could the Kokk at least ravish the Wimbledon crowd?

 

[DIMI_D]

Djok loved the KOKK

 

[Rattie]

Given Kyrgios has a 2-0 H2H against Djokovic, I would imagine he has been giving his mate Kokkinakis a few tips.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Kokk is hard and with Bull's luck I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset here.

 

[Slicehand]

Kokinakkis to finish the match soon so he can go pick up some london women

 

[onlytheball]

Djokovic obviously a heavy favourite here but Kokkinakis can be a real threat on a fast court. Has the potential to be Djokovic’s most difficult match of the tournament

Nah. Djokovic will win in 3

 

[sometennisdot]

Kokkinakis is insanely bad

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Kokkinakis is insanely bad

He stinks! This should be a routine match for novak.

 

[Kralingen]

Djok is playing a lot better today

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Djok is playing a lot better today

He’s facing a bum today. He should have no problems.

 

[The Green Mile]

Already broken, an incredible display of errors from Kokk's racquet. 2-0, Novak.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Djok is playing a lot better today

I expect the same type of matchup for nadal. He should destroy barankis tomorrow.

 

[Kralingen]

He’s facing a bum today. He should have no problems.

Eh, he’s turned some 130mph serves into dust and hit some good BHDTLs. Didn’t see any of that vs Kwon really. A marked improvement already.

agreed that Kokk is limp today. Looks to be a boring match.

Should be a boring match. The guy has nothing to hurt novak. Anyway on course for the dream final.

 

[Tennfan123]

Oh dear. Kokk cannot even come to the court with rackets he likes playing with

 

[sometennisdot]

Coconutkis

 

[zuluzazu]

LOL give the trophy to Novak already. No way any player from Planet Earth is defeating Novak here in Wimby in this form

 

[Nadal15thslam]

He can't even keep the ball in play for more than 2 shots...

 

[ojo rojo]

Novak looking good. Won't win US open

 

[I Am Finnish]

Looking good Egg

 

[Nadal15thslam]

LOL give the trophy to Novak already. No way any player from Planet Earth is defeating Novak here in Wimby in this form

What form? Kokkinakis is missing everything.

 

[Slicehand]

What an horrendous mug

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Anyone can look good against this guy lol.

 

[Mivic]

Djoko's top gear is just so much higher on grass than Nadal's these days. Serve return complex is still quite formidable when he's firing on all cylinders even if his baseline game is pretty declined. Absolutely no way he should lose to Nadal here if his head is in the right place. Like I said in another match thread there's really no point in continuing if he can't beat Dal here.

 

[NoleFam]

Much better ballstriking from Djokovic so far today compared to 2 days ago.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

What form? Kokkinakis is missing everything.

Exactly lol. A bum opponent. Anyway the best possible final is djokoadal.

 

[ojo rojo]

Once Kokk gets his lucky racquet back from the stringer, Novak is dead meat

He’s the favorite for sure but nadal always plays djokovic tough and they have only played twice on grass here. Novak is 2-0 but nadal took him to 5 sets in their last matchup. This is not the same
Novak from years ago

 

[zuluzazu]

Anyone can look good against this guy lol.

Yesterday Cerundolo was not much better lol
