2023 Paris Open ATP Master's 1000 Quarterfinal matchup - Novak Djokovic [1] (SRB) v/s Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune [6] (DEN)

[Poisoned Slice]

Good match.

 

[Kralingen]

Top 5 BO3 match of the year?

Maybe. I honestly had more fun in Medvedev-Sinner last week.

I mean it’s not even close to the Cincy final, have to put that one in its own tier entirely

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Who is the 5th guy who beat Djoker 3 times in a row? There's Rog, Rafa, Murray and Roddick, but I can't find the other one.

Tsonga beat him 4 times in a row after their 2008 Australian Open final.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

After the 2nd set I was thinking it might end up being only the 4th time in Djokovic's career that he loses a match after having match point. Thank God that didn't happen.

Ajde Nole!!

Yeah I thought he was going to have a Federer type choke today. Thankfully he clutched it out in end. Great match by both players

Denadalizing

Yeah that match was so epic. Wish I got tickets for the final instead of the quarters.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

The world still is awaiting the "proof" of the abdominal tear at the AO and those scans that were supposed to be released years ago and never were.

I can't believe anyone falls for this nonsense of being injured, ill or at death's door. Boris won't fall for this tripe and neither should anyone else. The fact Djokovic resorts to mind games before facing Rune is telling.

Shame we won't get a 4th Djoko-Kyrgios match. Nick will avoid it at any cost.

 

[Mainad]

Djokovic has now levelled the H2H with Rune at 2-2 overall, 1-1 this season.

 

[Eureka]

Holger is still adjusting after the recent hiatus in form. It is impressive that he fought well & put Novak through his paces. A good run, with lots to build on and to improve, no doubt. BB should earn his keep, methinks.
I cannot see any of the 3 remaining players that might play him, getting to a deciding set in the last 2 matches.

And now for the winner. What is there left to say about Novak's continued success, except 'Bravo'. Just incredible.

 

[jm1980]

de Minaur is yelling "come on!" as he serves down 0-4, LMAO

 

[TheAssassin]

Remember what happened to Murray, Bweh. Steady now...

Rublev!

 

[Tennisbg]

From the highlights it appears Rune is running more than Djoko in defensice moves, was that really the case?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

That's my boi

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic is getting a bumming again. The Becker effect cannot be underestimated here either

Nah, jokes aside I do think this will be highly competitive and go 3 sets. I do think Rune has a good chance in this best of 3 format, with his better form, new coach and Novak not at his sharpest after a longer rest from playing. That said it’s Djokovic and he finds a way a lot of time even in matches he not looking great.

Let’s hope for a good one!

Yeah I thought so too.. and the court seems so slow…feels like watching slo mo. Or is that the wierd court angle?

 

[Waves]

Rune just kept hitting down the middle, and then ran his a$& off chasing Novak’s lasers to the corners. The loss looked good on him.

Is it just me, or has Novak been doing more bulgarian single leg squats?

BB may have already earned some of it, as I believe one of the contract stipulations was to get Holger to the Finals.

 

[Biotic]

Just get rid of the linesmen already.

Bad call could've cost Rune 2nd set, but terrible umpiring did cost Djoko 1+ hour of unnecessary play. Ineptitude all around.

But the ball of Djoko was out. So ineptitude would be not have called that ball out at first.

The 2 times that I've been there, the prices in Indonesia were really confusing for me as they talk in thousands and millions lol.

Yes, and tax is not included in restaurants menu, supermarkets, you should be always prepared to pay 10% more. Everyone is a millionaire here, so its not a problem lol

I spent most of my schooling years in USA before moving back to England, mate. So I'm pretty much used to the system of added taxes as its the de facto thing in most US stores.
And yeah, sarcastically speaking, everyone in Indonesia is a millionaire lol.
And on a serious note, its a prime example of what should not be done with the economy.

Ineptitude is not getting the point of my post. Well done.

As for the umpiring, the only thing worse than making a mistake is covering it up with an even worse mistake. Just inexcusable.
