I am in Shanghai.

are you chinese

 

[Gary Duane]

are you chinese

I wanted to ask the same question but I was afraid it might be rude. Sometimes the smallness of the world today is really cool.

Up next, one of the biggest matches of this year.

Djokovic vs Munar

Djokovic vs Munar

Night session much better. Temperature dropped a bit to mid 20s too.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

A big win for Rune. He making some waves this event and playing better.

This match could be a dogfight. Munar can be an animal out there.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This match could be a dogfight. Munar can be an animal out there.

He certainly can. He a dangerous player on his day. Every match is a dogfight for Novak now. In best 3 the margin for error is less as well.

That is what makes Djokovic must see TV

 

[Hitman]

Munar is showing he is one of the big boys in tennis.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic with some wheels to reach that

 

[Hitman]

Can he consolidate?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko body in trouble here. Father Time is unforgiving at this point.

 

[Winners or Errors]

MTO?

 

[roysid]

I think djokovic gets this easily. The massage and pils worked

 

[Hitman]

The body is continuing to betray him...

 

[ForehandCross]

Its just 4 games, is it the condition or he has an injury?

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic better be careful, Munar looks like he is banking on long rallies flaring Djokovic's issues more

 

[Hitman]

Djokovic looks done.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Its just 4 games, is it the condition or he has an injury?

Looks like he twisted his heel

 

[Wesling]

Possumovich is back

 

[ForehandCross]

Possumovich is back

Are you watching the match? Why would he fake injury and discomfort when he is a break up and the match has just started?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice play from Novak. Novak is not moving well though. Nasty injury that.

 

[Kralingen]

This has been an incredibly terrible Masters lol.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This has been an incredibly terrible Masters lol.

If your favourite player Meddy wins it as well?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic takes the set! Still the Achilles is a worry. Let’s see how he goes.

Incredible how he pulled that off.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic looks done.

Hard to say if this will cause him to pull out the tournament or if he can shake this off. Depends if it a twinge or worse.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think djokovic gets this easily. The massage and pils worked

Depends if it was a twinge or worse. We will know as match progresses and moving forward if he still wins.

 

[Hitman]

Lets see how this second set goes.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Novak’s best bet is to hold serve 6 times and see what happens in the Tiebreak

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It a miracle Djokovic lasting as long as he is at 38 and all the mileage for 20 years. You see so many younger players going down so much earlier in their careers.

He like a creaking gate until his body packs out. Every game we still get to watch him is a bonus.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice BH from Djoko!

They broke the mould after he was made.

 

[ghostofMecir]

Djokovic should retire in this match before he gets seriously injured.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Why isn’t he taping the ankle?

 

[Hitman]

Munar can sense blood.

 

[ForehandCross]

Munar is probably the most annoying player to play when you are injured and braving the whole thing

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic should genuinely retire, Munar's rally length will really aggravate his injury

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Titan hold from Djokovic there. Fair play! Munar threw everything at it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Munar can sense blood.

He missed his chance to break there.

 

[ForehandCross]

Problem is Munar will keep coming at him. He just doesn't go away in rallies. If Djokovic is not careful even a win will come with an injury issue.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great shot!

 

[Hitman]

Pressure back on Djokovic

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic grit is incredible. Fighting his opponent and body!

 

[NoleFam]

This court is so slow. No wonder the players are falling like flies when you hit great forehands and they keep coming back, and you have to deal with the heat and longer rallies.

 

[NoleFam]

Just getting back from the gym and just joining. Djokovic is injured?

 

[ForehandCross]

Twisted is ankle apparently. He can move and winning but Munar is really pushing him physically

Oh no. Getting old sucks for an athlete. The body is so fragile.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Strong hold in end from Munar.

 

[ForehandCross]

In the whole conversation of Djokovic's injury, we must not forget to give Munar his due. Djokovic is absolutely monstrous in some of these points but Munar is holding on.
