2023 Wimbledon R4: Novak Djokovic vs. Hubert Hurkacz

[ACE of Hearts]

Dude is about to get out of this.

 

[jhick]

Didn't realize Hubert has not gotten broken yet for the whole tournament.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic kind of blew up that first break point.

 

[Hitman]

Tsitsipas is now in his third five setter....LOL

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The crowd are loving it!

 

[RS]

31 aces

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Could've been a typical Djokovic return winner had it not been a let call

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice play from Djoko! BP again.

 

[TennisFan3]

Tsitsipas is now in his third five setter....LOL

Advantage Medvedev. Big time.
The Russian can get to the SF without even playing well.

 

[Slicehand]

I want another tie breaker

 

[canta_Brian]

Hubi trying to play touch points is plain embarrassing

 

[The Fedfather]

A serving god has awoken in Hubie, but the demons of his ground game are trying to drag him down.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

31 aces

3rd break point for possumvak

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

FINALLY!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

See ya!!!! Herbie finally has a loose one.

 

[Slicehand]

Hubi trying to play touch points is plain embarrassing

A real hand of stone

 

[Poisoned Slice]

And there it is. Thanks for coming, Hurk.

 

[Hitman]

Djokovic breaks.

Can this be it? Incredible scenes.

 

[fmadej]

Finally broken. So i guess its over now

 

[TennisFan3]

Match over. Hubi is pathetic from the ground.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Massive from Djokovic! Far from over yet though. Great game.

 

[jm1980]

JFC finally

 

[Deleted member 765728]

Well that served had to stop at some point, it has been phenomenal regardless. But Djoko much better off the ground.

 

[Carax]

Spoiler

 

[RF-18]

DJOKOVIC BREAKS

I REPEAT

 

[Krish872007]

Djokovic FINALLY breaks Hurkacz, and that should be that!!

Now hold your damn serve

 

[Benf15harp]

Nole is back!!!! Never doubted him.

 

[joekapa]

Hold now Novak.......

 

[L4S10s]

Breakovic

 

[Kralingen]

Just so solid. Very very good game from Novak.

that’s all she wrote now.

 

[The Guru]

Finally. What a serving performance from Hubie to make this so interesting.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

A serving god has awoken in Hubie, but the demons of his ground game are trying to drag him down.

We though of Hubie as somewhat of a steady ground player but he's basically a servebot.

 

[ultimathule]

Djokovic in four. I should've put some money down. Damn.

 

[MaluTapiMau]

Break!

 

[Lozo1016]

Like it or not, Novak is a beast.

 

[RS]

Djokovic in four. I should've put some money down. Damn.

@Kralingen

 

[tudwell]

Well there it is. Hubie needed that first set. Fighting back from 0-2 down was always going to be a bridge too far. Good stuff from him, overall, with some unfortunate choking in some big moments.

 

[tex123]

There we go. Familiar story of weakgens.

 

[TennisFan3]

Overall good for Djokovic. Gets a nice hitting practice for an hour or so today. Doesn't have to practice. Rublev coming up tomorrow which will be a rollover.
Then a nice 2 day rest to prepare for Sinner.
And finally on Sunday a final vs Alcaraz/Med/Berra.

 

[MeatTornado]

Well there it is. Hubie needed that first set. Fighting back from 0-2 down was always going to be a bridge too far. Good stuff from him, overall, with some unfortunate choking in some big moments.

He could be up 2-0 and he wouldn't have won.

 

[tex123]

Why does Hurkacz do a second serve? He'll not win the point. Might as well go for two first serves.

 

[Benf15harp]

Nole is about to waterdrop the watch wearer into the English Channel.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

lol

 

[ojo rojo]

Quelle surprise! Meanwhile, Tsitsipas enters his third consecutive 5-setter

 

[The Fedfather]

We though of Hubie as somewhat of a steady ground player but he's basically a servebot.

He's been an incredible servebot here though, lol. That's a lot more good than you can say about a few top players on the tour rn.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice game for Djokovic! 5-3

 

[Hitman]

There we go. Familiar story of weakgens.

The guy lost his serve for the first time after nearly four full sets against the greatest returner of all time, you can't hate on him for that.

the tie breakers, sure, but not the way he held his service games.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Quelle surprise! Meanwhile, Tsitsipas enters his third consecutive 5-setter

 

[Kralingen]

What a return from Hurkacz.

That hit Halley’s Comet on the way up.

 

[top10]

This 7th game in the 4th shows why Novak is the champion he is:
he was tenacious and relentless to get the break
