If Djoko used a H22 he would win matches faster
That little head gets such little bang for buck its
like his walking stick tonight.
 
What a win fron Djokovic. 38, wore down, tired, drained, sore ankle, and then reaches deep and finds massive forehands to take this. Yet some will tell you that's not a top 10 forehand. Lol. Munar played way above his ranking. Seems to raise his level against the big guys.
 
That was at least an entertaining final 2 sets glad I watched. Novak must know that with Raz/Sinner gone this tournament is probably his best chance at winning a Big Title this season.
I think that was part of the reason why he’s fighting on.

I don’t think he tries to fight on if they are waiting in later rounds.

Hopefully he can recover physically for next round.

As I said elsewhere, you need to play way above your ranking to take on Djokovic and yet you will still lose. Munar just another case in point.

Sometimes you win especially in BO3 but more times than not, he will take it. When he will raises his level like that, you most likely are going home. That was a well played 3rd set from Djokovic.

I think djoko has the extra motivation as well due to no Sincaraz. It depends on his body holding up and there are still dangerous threats like Rune/meddy but they obviously not Sincaraz.

We will see how he recovers.

Yea it's about maintaining the body because the tennis level is there right now. I'm surprised he's playing this well this week and has been from the 1st match. Definitely sees an opportunity here now with Sincaraz both out of the way. Still a lot of tennis to be played though.

more like his best last chance ever, unfortunately.

What's his motivation? In time to come, no one will care about how many slams or Masters anyone had. It would all simply be statistics on the screen. I'm sure there must be more meaningful things he could do in retirement, like providing future generations with the facilities they need to carry the sport forward. You know, like the RNA. Just saying.
