Djokovic smashes racquet - Wimbledon 2023

[aus89]

I wonder how many times he's had COVID now... new study shows that it fuses brain cells together and makes them not function correctly and eventually die (hence all the reports of long covid "brain fog")

This is not only bad as a moral display, but it is dangerous. Wildly swinging racquets with such force with others around (ballkids) is extremely dangerous. If that whacked a ballkid it could break bones, blind an eye, etc. Tennis needs to get a handle on this reckless and dangerous behavior before someone gets hurt.

It's an odd sitch for Wimbledon to have to promote guys like this.

Let alone the Tour overall. Weird times.

That's a net post made of American ash, by the way.

-Chris Fowler, schooling the viewing audience on lumber.

The most insightful thing Chris Fowler has ever said during a tennis match

Are you serious or joking?!

Why no point penalty? Hadn’t he already had a warning for a time violation or am I missing something?

Just read the news that Djokovic is fined USD 8000 for it!

Excerpt from Tennis365:

"The All England Lawn Tennis Club has confirmed the 36-year-old has been hit with an $8,000 penalty, which amounts to around GBP 6,117, for “racket abuse” during his defeat by Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic allowed his frustration to show after failing to break Alcaraz and then losing his own service game during the decisive fifth set of an enthralling contest on Centre Court.

Umpire Fergus Murphy, who had earlier pulled up the Serbian for a time violation, immediately issued a warning for a code violation.

Djokovic said that he wasn’t proud of the incident and accepted the officials sanction."

I fully agree with that; Djokovic has done that few times earlier, and fortunately no one got hit this time!

And few other players do that too.

Quite serious - “Once fusion takes place, each switch either turns on both the kitchen and bathroom lights at the same time, or neither of them,” he said. Likely happens with other viruses like HIV, Zika and Encephalitis. Maybe he has some misfiring brain cells...

Yes I knew that, my point was it was his second code violation of the match, so why didn’t he get a point penalty, he had already had a warning.

I’m trying to imagine true greats doing this. Graf, Navratilova, Sampras, Federer, Borg.
Never. They’d behave with grace.

I agree; should have given a point penalty.

honestly doubt it, the guy is just getting old, that's all.

It would have to be confirmed by a doctor, he would have to be tested in this field.

Djokovic is close to breaking the body barrier, a lot of sports experience and very good condition.

But I doubt he has covid fog, rather his body is weakening slowly!!!.

After ihs "one of three era GOAT career" ... he can look forward to retirement as a racquet tune-up technician ...

dude doesnt like to lose, doesnt like to be disliked and is bitter about it (hence smashing the racquet when the writing was on the wall), but i mean yeah wouldnt surprise me if he had a few fused brain cells haha

Well they are right in a way. He will never be like them…because he’s better.

Definitely Djokovic is better than Nadal breaking rackets.
