[Open Stance]

Is ND tanking this set?

Looks like something's wrong with him.

 

[Pheasant]

This set is far from over. Djoker has an opening here to break back

 

[Pheasant]

Insane get by Djoker, but not enough.

 

[Open Stance]

Temp is 79F with 81% humidity. Is the roof closed? Is Ashe air conditioned with the roof closed?

 

[Ray Mercer]

Djokovic is so brutal to watch. Passive consistent play without any shotmaking whatsoever. It’s like watching paint dry. Hit some winners or aggressive shots for christ sakes.

 

[Pheasant]

Djoker breaks back. Djere looks like he is hurting physically now.

 

[Service Ace]

Which TTW poster was that they just showed with the World Against Nole shirt??

 

[NoleFam]

That's extreme humidity. They had problems with ventilation on Ashe years ago but I thought they got that figured out. Yes it has AC.

 

[Fabresque]

Djere has lost control right now

 

[sportsfan1]

Djere was the better player and really should have been up 2-0. Novak looked fatigued, doubled over and leaning on his racquet.
But looked like djere knew he's not allowed to take sets off and keep novak there for too long

 

[Open Stance]

For a 37 year old who looks like he feels pretty crappy right now, it's amazing how well he still defends the corners.

 

[NoleFam]

That was a terrible set from Djokovic all things considered, and looks like the humidity has bothered him and looks like he's not feeling well. He really got lucky that Djere fell off and is struggling physically.

 

[NeutralFan]

If Djokovic doesn't improve here then Sinner will Maul him like he mauled him at AO

 

[NoleFam]

If Djokovic doesn't improve here then Sinner will Maul him like he mailed him at AO

Like Sinner looked convincing in that 1st match. He was getting taken to the woodshed by McFlurry.

He has to worry about Popyrin.

 

[NeutralFan]

He’s has to worry about Popyrin.

Popprin is a mug and his friend, he lacks fight.

We will see ,son!! Carlos fans are in for a rude awakening

 

[Fabresque]

Such a shame. Feel better soon.

 

[vokazu]

Lol Djokovic successfully trolled Courier. Courier is having a verbal diarrhoea about Djokovic hurting and grumbled about how ridiculous the match ended with Djere injured.

 

[NoleFam]

Sad way for the match to end and hope Djere feels better. Djokovic needs to get himself sorted out. He cannot afford to play like this against Popyrin.

 

[Open Stance]

It's supposed to cool off for the rest of the tournament. Only one hot day in the 10 day forecast.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Kyrgios is brutal to listen to. It’s amazing a punk like that who isn’t anywhere close to an all time great gets a gig like this. There’s a ton of guys who would be better.

Why on earth tv network invite a clown like him ?

He is awful conducting on court interview but not as bad as on TV where he mumbles.

Sure he can. Popyrin will just roll over for Djokovic.

 

[pirhaksar]

Very uninspired stuff from Novak. Pops won Canada recently if I recall, is in great form and can scalp this version of Novak. The serve needs to improve big time and the focus too…interesting R3 ahead for Novak.

 

[sportsfan1]

That should have been a 5 set match, in all fairness. But novak got very lucky again with djere getting injured.

He has an easy ride quite a lot- nothing new lol

It's easy when Z+med+Sinner are kept in other half

 

[KingCarlitos]

This guy really bottled being a break up in the second set.

 

[onyxrose81]

It's easy when Z+med+Sinner are kept in other half

Zverev is in Novak’s half.

 

[NeutralFan]

Zverev is in Novak’s half.

I meant Carlos

 

[Pheasant]

Djokovic has gotten only 46% of his first serves with 11 aces and a whopping 18 double faults in his first two matches. And yet, his defensive skills have been so good, that he hasn't lost a set yet.

If Djoker gets anywhere close to his normal serving stats, then he can go on to win the title. My gut tells me that Djoker will scrape off enough rust to be very dangerous. That's just what that dude does.
