Yeah I agree. It's definitely worth playing on here. I thought after the second set against Couacaud that it would continue to deteriorate so I was in two minds about it at that point but he's clearly able to run pretty hard when required and it doesn't look like it's going to get a whole lot worse than it has been for these past two matches. He'll regret not giving it his best shot against this wasteland of a field.

I felt the Adelaide final was the test of it the day after. He didn't move well to the backhand side in that match and didn't hit his backhand well but his movement was good enough to pull it off. I think his problem is, he played too many practice matches that week before the tournament and then played that exhibition. That's why it may be even more sore now. If he had played less that week, it probably would be less sore than it is now.

So much toxicity in this thread. I honestly believe for a lot of Nadal fans if they were granted just one wish it wouldn't be for continued good health for their loved ones or a lottery win or world peace but simply for Djokovic to not win this year's Australian Open. I mean how sad is that?! :confused:

Ridiculous comment... even from you and that's saying something...

You want to know sad? How about wishing Nadal's wife death and the baby to be stillborn?

Maybe you should preach your moral compass to those idiots before making baseless assumptions about Nadal fans...
 
If Djokovic can come out as a winner against Rune and then still say that he is feeling fine, then he can win the title, otherwise not.
 
Djoko is moving a lot better than the end of the first and manages the hamstring excellent, but my god Dimi is doing everything wrong here
 
reminder that dimitrov took nadal to 5 in the AO semi, and djokovic is beating him up, injured, legendary player

Yes, worst type of player to go against.

Tbh he looks pretty comfortable moving side to side in the baseline rallies (as long as they're neutral and he isn't on the back foot or having to stretch into the corners) though... it's mainly sudden dynamic movements on the return than are bothering him. I'm more worried about guys with a big serve and plus one ball that can make Djokovic move, especially if they have decent shot tolerance to boot. Novak is going to get a lot of free looks at De Minaur service games without having to overexert himself. The guy doesn't have the firepower to ragdoll Djokovic either, so I like that match-up for him in the next round actually, especially because Novak has looked so comfortable playing aggressive front foot tennis to start the year.

I am and I have, but its just not appearing. Don't stress it googling how to bluetooth connect laptop to tv. Meanwhile, leg looks great, commentators talking about the injury, have there been any medical time outs or worrying signs?

Djokovic fans seem confused. Is he injured and going to have to withdraw or get beat or is it manageable with painkillers and only mild and he’ll be okay?

Yeah honestly I'm not particularly happy with the way it's been managed by his team but it is what it is. Novak just has to make the best of the situation now.

Who said this? Are they still on the forum?
 
Some Fedal fans gonna hate , but one thing even those haters can totally understand even if the won't speak up openly , and that is-

Djokovic got to play only 2 slams in 2020 ( Wimbledon Cancelled and USO Defaulted ) .

He got to play at only two Slams in 2022 ( banned at Australian Open and USO )

4 Slams gone where Novak was almost Favourite . He would have won 2 slams at his worst out of these 4 .

Now Back to 2023 , Novak might be banned again at US Open .And if he retires at Australian Open bcoz of Injury then , he again gets to be competitive only at 2 slams this year.

This is why Novak will try his best to compete at Australian Open and won't retire till he is defeated or he can't move anymore .

Ofcourse , his presence in Slams will make your life hell on TTW. Cope . :happydevil:
