Djokovic Handed Favorable London Draw

[hoodjem]

"Favorable Draw." Well, that's one way to put it.
Geez, after all the walkovers at the USO, it just keeps on coming.

Nole is definitely in the patsy-group this time around. Maybe there are advantages to being ranked no. 2.

"Djokovic will lead the Ivan Lendl Group, which includes Milos Raonic, Gael Monfils and Dominic Thiem. Djokovic has quite a favorable draw here, as he has never lost to any of the players in his group and he will benefit from experience against two ATP Finals debutants and the relatively inexperienced Raonic."

I suppose it'll be a bunch of walkover-like matches for him.

whaaaaaaaaaat?
this is the first I hear of it. I swear. How can this be? How is this fair? How??????
(pssssst, there's an actual WTF-thread going https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/ind...eneral-discussion.575897/page-6#post-10771070)

Yeah ATP desperately wants him at No1 and with 6 WTF titles.
Such lucky boy

If there is a reason for ATP did fix the draw which may it be very clear: I don't think they did, Nole is just lucky here. it would be to increase the chance of a Nole Murray final. This has to be some sort of ATP dream: their biggest event (WTF) and their biggest prize (YE #1) collide in one match to decide both. It would receive a lot of media attention.

More like a dead draw.

Novak is so lucky, he has lucky shots, lucky draws, never gets injured, someone handles to him everything on the plate.Just born under the lucky star.Even ATP wants him to tie some records.
People wept over his Paris, Shanghai, USO draws ,still he lost.
Can't remeber if there were some upseted fans when current No1 played the whole year with favorable draws, Federer draw at Wimbledon was Ok I guess, etc..

What can I say, except, the guy is incredibly lucky

I really hope Nole ties Federer's 5 YE #1. Murray would also deserve it though. So make the best competitor win.

Monfils is just simply happy to make up the numbers. Expect his to go 0-3

I don't say that he is always lucky. I've seen him come true some really tough draws and put in some ridiculous efforts. However, one can't deny that this WTF draw is the easiest possible one for him, the chance was 12,5%, and his recent run to the USO final was full of luck too. I haven't called him lucky outside of that.

You've noticed!

The draw is in line with the cakewalk arrangement all year for Novak.

Just check out the FO draw ( Thiem and Murray for SF/F) and USO bye fest .

It would be hilarious if he doesn't end up as #1 notwithstanding this joke arrangement

Everything looks so easy to a player to whom you wish to fall so desperately.
But don't worry, Djokovic form is far from good atm
He is 90 18 against the WTF field

Meanwhile Murray having a top 10 diet in the last 4 tournaments was something amazing to witness, no?

Whatever, you'replaying the sarcastic victim role without anyone having nothing more than a slight dig at Nole.

Victims are all crybabies which is 3/4 posters at this forum .I'm just sarcastic about tiresome tirade here.
I never cried about someone "handled" the x,y,z favorable draw, w/o etc.. It is what it is
