Grabbing his shoulders in pain every now and then and looking so so skinny in his latest match vs Daniil Medvedev. What's wrong with Novak Djokovic ?

Anyone hazard a guess at his weight there @ 6'2?
 
Nothing about this is funny to me. I'm worried about him - genuinely worried about him.

There is a point where "fitness" stops and something else starts. Do you all remember the woman tennis player who dieted herself down to skin and bones? I'm not saying it is that bad, but it's starting to remind me of people who stop eating enough.

Very troubling...

Agree. This looked better

Novak's always been a diet freak since 2010+. That said, it seems pretty clear he's taken it a couple steps too far.

At the same time I'm more concerned about the report of him grabbing his shoulder in pain. Seems like his right shoulder / arm have been a mess since Wimby last year. Not a good sign that it seems to be lingering.

One more match and then he's off til IW. Had his hands full today as Medvedev was playing at his absolute best for nearly 2 sets.

Lotsa guys seem to play at thier best against him. Wish he would increase his aggressiveness by like 10% and dictate rallies a bit more. I hate when he goes super neutral (didn't see today's match, dunno if thats how he played).

No doubt this was a factor. Medvedev was absolutely teeing off and Djokovic was a bit passive coming out of the gate so he was on the defensive. Serve issues is no joke. No velocity numbers today. Djoko wore down Med with his ground game today and was hitting and moving more forcefully towards end of 2nd making for a lot of long rallies.

It's visible that he has shoulder issue , unfortunatelly it seems chronic now. Serve is big, big problem in his game, it's not surprising that he is trying to compensate with feet lightness . That's why play looks so passive. He literally has no easy points on serve. Almost on every point he has to work as anyone tehese days is capable to return his puffs with interest. It affect the whole game, he is making tons of basic errors , looks as hes not on the ball as often as before.

During his big runs his serve was actually pretty solid and he was good at mixing it around and hitting the lines. He has exellent spin and movement

Maybe he should just take off 6 months and go to rehab and get his edge back.

Why rush in again if you are not fully ready.

Pretty possitive that your idol would do worse with current Djoko serve.

Who knows , maybe surgery is an option?:confused:
 
This guru stuff he is into, is taking a big toll. Everyone knows these spiritual guys that are a bag of bones, only these aren't top athletes

I think in his current state he is fine with not winning anything big and not giving it all on the court. At least this is my impression and I'm not talking about the Davis Cup.

I'd love to see Beastovic again, but we have to respect his decision in any case. I'll always root for him and hope he can come back strong. However, it depends on his body and as long as his shoulder isn't fine he will have a hard time winning.
 
It's not quite anorexic, but it doesn't look healthy. I'd guess he weighs close to 70kg. It's not that weird to weigh that little if you're skinny. His arms still look bigger than Fedr's

Not anymore
Surpassed federer in skinny grade now

Look at novaks ass. His ass is gone completely, shorts hangs and looks like diapers
 
Djoker is thin not SKINNY. The guy has better flexibility than most women too !!!

Some women are very attractive to that "girly pretty boy" figure.

Women can serve as his protector off the court, too.
 
Connors is a pretty nasty guy off the court so I have lost much respect for him but he is still awesome to watch on youtube
