2023 Australian Open R128: Roberto Carballes Baena vs Novak Djokovic [4]

[Mivic]

Ralph and Draper made this court look molasses yesterday. Djokovic is making it look quick at times lol.

 

[HFK]

He's not injured.

 

[L4S10s]

Made RCB look like a solid 3.5 there

 

[The Fedfather]

Bagel incoming.

I still b6l1eve

 

[phl92]

I can't watch the match. So telling from the score, there are no signs Djokovic is injured/ill or other rumours applicable?

 

[Deleted member 758560]

bagel is sweet

 

[NatF]

I want to see that Djokodal meeting

 

[RF-18]

Baena must feel hopeless out there. What can you do.

 

[NatF]

Catches the line and Djokovic will serve for the bagel and match. GG.

 

[Beerus]

Scary stuff from Djokovic.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

One of the rare times when Djokovic's game is actually enjoyable. He should play like this more often (agressovic mode)

 

[HFK]

I think RCB came into the match thinking he had a chance because Djokovic was injured. But as soon as it was clear that it's all a ruse, he lost all hope of being competitive.

Not that I can see right now. He may have had a bother earlier in the match but seems to have gone away

 

[weakera]

I'm back, how's our boy looking?

 

[Kralingen]

not ideal for Carballes hive

Yeah, doesn’t look slow right now

Not for us RCB fans

 

[jl809]

14 winners in 5 games damn

 

[GabeT]

Virtual bagel. Now going for the real one

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Djokovic wins in his Australia return.

Easy straight set win.

 

[lrdrdy]

amazing

 

[Biotic]

 

[Krish0608]

It’s going to be hard to stop Aggresovic here.

One who are loud are Serbians with Serbian flags .
Heck they even showed it after the match. Show me Asians with Serbian flags cheering for him in huge numbers like it was for Rafa in first match then we will talk.

funny you say that...I just saw an old Asian lady wearing Serbian gear...LOL

 

[mehdimike]

Why doesn't he play like that always?!

 

[mahatma]

Weren’t we missing this man in RLA. Phenomenal start of the campaign

 

[Zodd]

Great tennis from Djokovic. Also really like Baena's attitude and demeanor - looking forward to seeing more of his tennis and hoping for good things from him this year

 

[Djokovic2011]

That 3rd set was such a pleasure to watch, and RCB didn't even play badly. Congrats to Novak on his 83rd AO match win.

 

[RF-18]

Yea he really needs to put false hope and fake to beat Baena.

I hope you are pretty happy with that brain of yours.

Calm down ********, I was actually agreeing with you.

 

[ultimathule]

Comprehensive and clinical. Maybe he peaked too early (lol)?

USO? Becker’s serve?

 

[maratha_warrior]

[pj80]

Ruud going 4

 

[Jonesy]

Damn, i guessed wrong again.

 

[RF-18]

Djoko hit 41 winners and was 23/26 at the net.

 

[HFK]

I just can't understand how you'd trade living in the best country in the World to live in Australia.

 

[Bubcay]

Well, I know CB is not a top 10 player, but he played great and gave his best. Djokovic in set 3 was a monster. If he plays like this throughout the tournament, it is his to lose... Incredible scenes....

 

[ultimathule]

Djoko hit 41 winners and was 23/26 at the net.

Whoa

 

[maratha_warrior]

Djokovic has fanbase outside of Serbia too .
People usually want to see history being made .

People joined Federer camp for the same reasons .
And now people in slams cheer for Novak and Rafa for the same reason because Rafa/Novak make history everytime they won a Slam now .

 

[Hitman]

Legitimacy. We got AO back.

 

[HFK]

Djokovic saying the same things as Nadal about the AO balls.

 

[NoleFam]

Djoko hit 41 winners and was 23/26 at the net.

Impressive. Especially considering how hard it is to hit a winner in these conditions. Lol. Great match from Djokovic though and RCB should keep going. He has potential and definitely can reach top 50 and then maybe top 30.

Yeah, he’s definitely going to the top. At only 29 years old he is just rounding into his prime years.
