2023 Wimbledon R4: Novak Djokovic vs. Hubert Hurkacz

[King_ Zeglan12]

Djokovic vs Rublev is as NID as it gets... We could just give Djokovic the day off tomorrow and move on to the SFs

 

[Razer]

Serve is the most powerful weapon on Grass.

 

[canta_Brian]

Gonna be interesting to hear Djokos thoughts after on HHs serving.

Big credit on his serving. I was lucky that’s all he can do

 

[gameovais]

The decision by the Djokovic camp to stop the throwing hearts at the four sides of the stadium after winning - it makes me love him even more. So much better celebrating as he does now.

 

[TennisFan3]

Rublev waiting in the quarters, big battle awaits Djokovic.

Lol. You are funny.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Marked.

You’re scary sometimes.

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Anyone else in the draw would lose to Hurkacz. Don't @ me.

Hey, @TheNachoMan. Got it, will refrain from doing so.

 

[Slicehand]

Super display of offensive tennis by djokovic, real amazing.............


No.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Novak is the biggest beast in men's tennis. With this serving no one in the current ATP could have beaten HH. But Novak handled him easily in 4 sets.

HH won 24 return points in 4 sets. Hardly a fight for Djoker. Can’t win a match against a top player with those return stats. Serve made it look closer than it was.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Rublev is just a good matchup for novak.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Rublev is just a good matchup for novak.

Agreed

 

[RF-18]

Big credit on his serving. I was lucky that’s all he can do

So basically like Roddick then, but this was a 4th round. Not a final or semis.

 

[fmadej]

Well, good fight by HH. He should have won the 1st TB, But i guess Djoker would still find a way to win

 

[tex123]

Makes a Karatsev out of a Berrettini, by comparison

Skinny daddy long legs is beating the philosopher at the moment.

 

[Razer]

You’re scary sometimes.

She is scared ,... not scary

She knows Rodgy's record won't last

 

[jl809]

Nice win for Djoker, that was looking nasty for a bit

There’s nothing wrong with his wrist btw as well. Guaranteed SF with Sinner or Saf incoming, should be good if outdoors

 

[Kralingen]

Even Djoker doesn’t believe in hyping up Rublev

LOL

 

[Poisoned Slice]

GG Novak Djokovic
BLNT Hurk.

 

[canta_Brian]

So basically like Roddick then, but this was a 4th round. Not a final.

There appears to be a chip on your shoulder mate. You might want to remove it.

Guarantee that Roddick would still beat Hubi if they played points off a forehand feed.

 

[Slicehand]

Lol. You are funny.

Hey come on, Rublev has many tools, and and an impressive tough head, did you see when he smashed his racquet in his head multiple time in a raw and despite the bleeding didnt make a pain face?

 

[WarriorRafa]

If Hurkacz had a slightly better ground game he would have won this in straights. Was Karlovic like in the rallies, I knew he was bad but not this bad. Also suspect if it was someone other than Djokovic on the other side, he wouldnt have made so many brain dead errors.

 

[D_m_a]

"Always finds a way" ... what a ***** that BBC interviewer, they can barely mask their hatred and contempt for him because he didn't take a vile of mRNA **** ..

 

[Winners or Errors]

Even Djoker doesn’t believe in hyping up Rublev

LOL

Rublev is his pigeon.

 

[Bubcay]

Yeah, I was not a big fan either..

 

[Djokovic2011]

Phew! I was starting to get really nervous in the middle of that 4th set. Djokovic definitely isn't winning the title this year but at least it's another GS quarterfinal for him and another tournament where he's won at least 90 matches.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

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.

Definitely. He was unbreakable for almost 4 sets.
Last time somebody did that against Novak was Roger Federer in Wimbledon 2019 final, but definitely not all with his serve.

 

[tex123]

My shed all painted and it is looking shiny. I feel for you guys. Why do you keep doing that to yourself? It's the weakgens. There's no point hoping. They will poop. Best watch weakgen vs weakgen match.

 

[Winners or Errors]

So basically like Roddick then, but this was a 4th round. Not a final or semis.

No, Roddick had more game.

 

[TheNachoMan]

So basically like Roddick then, but this was a 4th round. Not a final or semis.

Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of 10 million Fed fans marching to your location.

 

[Kralingen]

No, Roddick had more game.

Even Anderson and Raonic had more game.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Djokovic definitely isn't winning the title this year

Come on man, don't you get tired of doing this?

 

[paolo2143]

Guarantee if Rafa or Roger had won a match like that many on here would be lauding it as one of the all time great performances.

I am sure they did when Roger beat Roddick in 2009.

 

[TennisFan3]

Rublev is just a good matchup for novak.

For anyone. Rublev is the weakest QF opponent. He will never make it to a SF. That's his ceiling and Novak will destroy him in straights as usual.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Come on man, don't you get tired of doing this?

He's serving well but have you seen his ground game? No power at all in his strokes.

 

[paolo2143]

Normally i might agree but wonder what last night and today will have taken out of Novak and he might be really feeling it tomorrow.

 

[canta_Brian]

I’m just going to say it. Hubi yesterday/today was the worst player off the ground I have ever seen in a round of 16 match at a slam.

 

[BlueB]

Well done Nole! Hurk served unbelievably, but you are quite a Serbebot too.

 

[The Fedfather]

He's serving well but have you seen his ground game? No power at all in his strokes.

Have you seen this grass field?

 

[Breakpointerer]

Nice try.

[nolefam_2024]

Hurkacz challenge passed. Not worried about Rublev. Next will be Sinner challenge.

 

[tex123]

Tsitsi got broken again. Skinny legs has a nice one handed backhand. Need to watch more of Eubanks.

 

[Deleted member 798069]

Novak is unbeatable on grass. Mark my words he will win 10 Wimbledon titles.

I think its safe to say Sinner will eliminate Djokovic this week, and pretty easily.
We're seeing the last of Djokovic.

 

[Winners or Errors]

I am sure they did when Roger beat Roddick in 2009.

Nope, people lamented how terrible Roger was at returning and thought Roddick choked in key moments. Fed ground it out with 28% return points won - crap returning, just like Djokovic's today, which was also 28%. Roddick about 10% better than Hubie at returning. No one called Roddick's serve performance one of his greatest, either. Just completely overhyping this match, as has been the case with nearly all of Djoker's Inflation Era victories.

For the record, Roddick also had more winners and fewer unforced errors than Hubi. Fed had to hit over 100 winners to win that match. Djokovic had to hit 44.

 

[TennisFan3]

I think it's safe to say that you are mistaken. Djokovic will beat Sinner. Pretty Easily. Without dropping a set.

 

[maupp]

Come on man, don't you get tired of doing this?

Now I remember why he's on my ignore list. This anti jinxing or whatever nonsense, get tired pretty fast.

Roddick was clutch on serve that day, Roger couldn't do much, just wait for him time.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Gotta be honest, that set from Novak is probably the most impressive he’s played all tournament.

He leveled up.

HH choked but I think he can go deep at Wimbledon in the future for sure.

HH future Wimbledon champion!

Roddick pushing Rodger to 5 in that game has earned him legend status among Federer's fans despite the man having a pigeon's like record against Rodger(3-21). Anyone with a head to head like that against Djokovic would get labelled a MUG on these boards. I guess Wawrinka isn't called a mug but he at least earned his respect despite his overall lopsided record against Djokovic by beating him in 3 huge slam games.
