Djokovic News

[Tarkovsky]

Bogdan Obradovic Serbian Davis Cup team Coach said in the interview for Spain newspapers (which was translated and publish in Serbian newspapers as well) that Novak finally started to eat meat. He blamed his vegan diet and influence of Pepe for his bad form this year. He said that even little changes in tennis, like changing your racket can affect your game drastically and that Novak changed his whole routine and diet and that affected him badly. He also said that Novak was more meditating then practicing and that he is his own enemy, he added that he has nothing against meditation but that you also have to go to practice and hit the ball million times as well.

He said that he had a problems with pepe because of Novaks diet but he didn't elaborate more on that. He mention that Michael Phelps loves to eat his grandmas food and after he sets Worlds records.

They asked him what kind of relationship he has with Novak - and he answered that Uncle Tony asked him exactly the same question, then he continued to say that he created conflict with Novak in the hope to wake him up. He said that Novak knows that he loves him and he want the best for him. He also told Novak that there is no tennis court or locker room in this world that he can hide from him. he said that he will always tell Novak exactly what he thinks and will not pretend.

They asked him what he thinks about Novak saying that he wants to spend more time with his family now, he said that Federer also has family and he is still able to produce top level tennis so that Novak should find balance. On the end hi said that Novak got off the path he was on and now he is lost in the forest

Serve looked decent today

He is going to need it. It better hold up.

 

[Noelan]

He is going to need it. It better hold up.

He desperately needs better serve than he had last couple of months if he wants to back in top form.
It's too early to say more about general form and shoulder condition, that was just one match. Hoping for the best

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Did he look less skinny today than he did in the previous few tournaments or is that just my wishes playing with my eyes?

Quite decent performance overall from the bits I watched, one more match like that in two days and it's a guaranteed, nice semifinal result. Looking forward to the clay season.

 

[Noelan]

Yeah, looked as he gained couple of decagrams
Liked that he,went for his shots. Couple of nice slice serves, volleys, lobs .. 10 aces

 

[Krish872007]

He's coming back

 

[Noelan]

As skinny as he was
Thanks Krish

 

[Mainad]

He's coming back

He's got that look again!

 

[Rubens]

He looks hungry. Hopefully it's not just from the diet Pepe put him on.

 

[Mainad]

Haven't seen Guru Pepe for a while. Anyone know if he is still on the team or have they quietly gone their seperate ways?

 

[Noelan]

Guy was seen around him at WTF time.

[Mainad]

Yes, that was the last time I noticed him. But has he been seen THIS year?

 

[Noelan]

I don't think so. And doubt he will be soon

 

[Djokovic2011]

Looking forward to watching the DC highlights later on.

 

[Mainad]

Looking forward to watching the DC highlights later on.

Are you feeling a bit more confident know for the rest of the season?

 

[swordtennis]

I don't think so. And doubt he will be soon

Bag him and put him out with the trash.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Are you feeling a bit more confident know for the rest of the season?

I'll let you know after I've seen the highlights.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

 

[Noelan]

I would say he was there mostly because of Marko. And you know, Novak adores his bros

 

[Noelan]

Viktor trashed PCB

Interesting. Does he ever. Loves his family even if costs him. He is a good kid the Nole. lol. Just wants to love and be loved.

I think he is just that kind of a man. Child at heart (one of the rare qualities in todays World, imo)

 

[Krish872007]

Thanks for these

Man, really impressed with Troicki today - you never know what kind of form he'll show on the day but he brought it and dismantled PCB. 2-0 Serbia, and this tie should be in the bag now

 

[Noelan]

Me too, such great playing , BH, FH, return , great volleys, was bossed poor Carreno from the first point.

 

[swordtennis]

One of the reasons I always liked him. Has that inner child. The Joker!

 

[Mainad]

That's exactly right. It was Marko who introduced Pepe to Novak.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Viktor trashed PCB

I was amazed by the result as well. Busta is in the top 20, having an impressive year so far. Great win.

Thanks for these

Better watch them now, there is always danger of these videos getting removed.

Yeah, Troicki is known for some chokes in the past but he usually gets up when playing for the country. His win in 2010 DC final 5th match over Llodra, the guy who beat Djokovic just a month or so earlier, is still one of his finest ever performances.

 

[Noelan]

Serbian doubles team defeated Spain (Viktor was The Boss once again), so there is no need to Novak to play second match on HC . On to clay..
Come on champ!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I believe the semifinal will be played in France. Hopefully everyone will be in good form then. It would be really nice if this group of players gets a 2nd Davis Cup.

Will Djokovic definitely play Monte Carlo?

 

[Noelan]

Yes, France will host SF (last match was Final 2010 in Belgrade)

Don't know about MC..

 

[swordtennis]

Come on Noleeeeeeee the outsiders and not the cool kids need you!

 

[Noelan]

Come on Noleeeeeeee the outsiders and not the cool kids need you!

Outcasts too

 

[I Am Finnish]

I think he will
He has no pain in his elbow & will play a charity exhibition match with zverev Cilic & Dimitrov next saturday

 

[I Am Finnish]

Yes, France will host SF (last match was Final 2010 in Belgrade)

Don't know about MC..

I bet they will choose clay

Beware Rafa

 

[Noelan]

Beware Rafa

(ARV is lefty too) I like the fact that he had not understmated him.

I bet they will choose clay

I belive it will be indoor hard
In any case surface does not matter
Troicki is not to shabby on clay, Nenad is RG champ, Novak... well no words are needed.

Beware Rafa

Rafa is not a threat for Nole. Nole should hire me because I can play like Kyrgios and Federer when I am at my best and I play like Murray when I am at my worst. I can play like Querrey when I use a Babolat racquet and I wear glasses like Istomin. Do you hear that Nole? A complete package here. Call me please Nole. Amor y Paz.

Very interesting, but I think there are new threats looming.

 

[Dilexson]

Don't know you guys have seen it, Novak re-tweeted this today.
Great video!

[BeatlesFan]

Nick's already beaten him twice this year. So that threat isn't looming, it's already arrived.

 

[cc0509]

That's true but Kyrgios has to beat Djokovic at a major in best of five for it to really mean something moving forward.

 

[swordtennis]

"when the vultures start circling."
Love it.

 

[Noelan]

Gained couple of pounds ? He is looking like his old self here

 

[Chicharito]

 

[TripleATeam]

Tabloids are real news?

 

[Djokodal Fan]

what does it read , may I know?

 

[TripleATeam]

what does it read , may I know?

"Secret meetings in London?"
"Jelena says: 'Come back, Nole, I can't do this anymore.'"

 

[BeatlesFan]

That's true but Kyrgios has to beat Djokovic at a major in best of five for it to really mean something moving forward.

Totally disagree. He beat him at a Masters 1000 which Nole fans tout to the sky as being "practically majors." What other young gun has even beaten Novak once, never mind back to back in two weeks? Of course this is MASSIVE for Nick ini terms of "moving forward." As for majors, I think most discerning people would pick Nick to beat Novak at Wimbledon and he will not need 5 sets to do it.
