2024 Wimbledon R16 matchup - [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB) v/s [15] Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune (DEN)

[Mustard]

Very underwhelming from Rune.

[Oval_Solid]

whats the violin mean?

 

[DropWideShot]

Another Djokovic classic XD

 

[flyingboris]

Djokovic wins! He will have to play better but he’s doing enough. Job done!

He even found the time to do some squats during games. Gotta stay fit.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Djoker just still too good on grass at the end of the day. His 80 percent is still better than everyone else’s 100. He may not be what he was but if he’s close enough to high level the other players are screwed

 

[nolefam_2024]

Could have been far more ugly.

6-3 6-3 6-2 was on the cards. Djokovic missed 6 setpoints.

Remember

 

[RF-18]

Djoko destroyed him

 

[mike danny]

Haha, Rune making Novak look like Fed.

Exactly. Rune is such a pusher. I'm glad Novak destroyed him on grass.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic can be struggling with his form all year and then once he steps his feet on grass, he turns into a different player. We saw flashes in the last match that his game was coming together but this was the best he has played all year. Rune is not yet ready for grass and has to play more and figure out the surface.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djoko destroyed him

It was a proper destruction.

Holding own serve very comfortably while making rune see stars in daytime on his own.

 

[GRASScaraz]

What a disappointing match from Rune. Starting to doubt if he will ever reach the levels of Sinner and Alcaraz

I'll save you some time. He won't

 

[King_ Zeglan12]

Yep Tennis is dead if Sinner or Alcaraz don't play a 5 setter against Djoke

Honestly Alcaraz or Sinner even needing a fifth set against Djokovic is not a good look

We saw flashes in the last match that his game was coming together but this was the best he has played all year. Rune is not yet ready for grass and has to play more and figure out the surface.

His form is good that he can NOW be considered a legit contender for the title. He discarded rune like a nobody. It was dominant performance.

 

[Succession]

Rune will never recover from this. Even worse than when Alcaraz exposed him last year

Yea that has to sting. Getting crushed by a recovering, average Nole in his 38th year has to be something if you have Rune's ambitions

 

[bluetrain4]

Rune will never recover from this. Even worse than when Alcaraz exposed him last year

I thought he'd do SOMETHING here (win a set, a couple close sets), seemingly energized after getting by Halys.

 

[mike danny]

Djoko destroyed him

You and a couple of Djokovic fans are probably the only ones surprised.

 

[Oval_Solid]

djoker got problems

 

[Succession]

whats the violin mean?

His daughter plays the violin

 

[flyingboris]

What's Holgers average speed on his ground strokes? It all just looked so weak. Or maybe Novak's speed is just making it all look slow?

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Decline doesn’t really affect Djoker on grass. It only hurts him on clay and hards

 

[Hood_Man]

Lol fair play Novak, I love this side of him

 

[NoleFam]

His form is good that he can NOW be considered a legit contender for the title. He discarded rune like a nobody. It was dominant performance.

The serve is on. He needs to keep serving like this and then yes he has a chance at the title. He moved the best he has all tournament today.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Wimbledon odds just changed

Novak second favorite ahead of last year's champion alcaraz and slightly behind sinner.

And this is Novak who is still unable to move at 100%

And folks here on ttw make stories about how he is finished. Pathetic.

 

[ibbi]

Rishi corrects Novak saying they were booing

 

[flyingboris]

Exactly. Rune is such a pusher. I'm glad Novak destroyed him on grass.

Not really, a pusher is supposed to hit some shots inside the lines occasionally.

 

[toby55555]

Guuuuuudnight

Yes, the passivity was shocking

 

[JFK_32]

WHAT A IDIOT HAHA It was ruuuuune every time when rune won points. It not boo hahahahahahahaha

[edberg volleys]

My faith in Sinner and respect for Djokovic never fails me.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Don’t **** Djoker off you idiots if you want him to lose. You need him complacent

 

[mike danny]

Haha, Rune making Novak look like Fed.

More like Rune making Zverev seem aggressive.

 

[Kralingen]

Halys would've done much better today than Rune.

 

[Cortana]

WHAT A IDIOT HAHA It was ruuuuune every time when rune won points. It not boo hahahahahahahaha

Are you sure?

 

[Succession]

Halys would've done much better today than Rune.

100%

 

[Bubcay]

Novak doesn't hold back on the booers.... Or "ruuuunes". Whatever.. People think this is a football match...

 

[JFK_32]

Are you sure?

Yeah im sure. It not happening before in previous rounds

 

[chjtennis]

Classic Novak, not hiding his displeasure. I got annoyed myself. I agree that chanting is disrespectful.

 

[Midaso240]

Hats off to Djokovic, far too good in the end. A bit surprised he was so unhappy at the crowd, didn't seem that hostile to me but then I was only watching on TV so I guess I don't get the full impact

 

[GRASScaraz]

Worst match at a grand slam since?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic giving it to the crowd xD.

 

[ibbi]

Are you sure?

Yes, this is what happens in his matches, I remember it particularly from the Cobolli match at Roland Garros, whenever there's a bunch of Danes there.

 

[nolefam_2024]

It's good that he has de minaur

Fritz or musetti

Before final.

These are not the best players who crowd adores. Nole would get far better share than vs someone like an alcaraz.

 

[Tano]

Put these mugs to sleep with the violin concerto Novak

This match was the cure for insomnia.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

I like Heel Djokovic, this is the Djokovic I want to see.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

whats the violin mean?

World smallest violin or cry me a river haters.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic is 22-6 on the year now. Creeping up to near 80% again. Hopefully he is fit for the remainder of the year and he can still push past 85. He is that good.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Halys would've done much better today than Rune.

Yeah because he's got a big serve, can junkball & had also played Novak very close at Adelaide international last year.
