LOL, the Tennis Channel commentators keep talking about "uncharacteristic" Djokovic misses. He's been doing it for two years. How is that uncharacteristic?

Djokovic basically reduced to the same level as Bautista Agut when he doesn’t have his precision/depth. He doesn’t have a major weapon to fall back on like Fedal do.

I kinda wish there was a way he could get back to his 2007 playing style. Cleanest aggressive FH I’ve seen from him.

I seriously want Djokovic to win this match because I want to see how he does vs Goffin, Thiem/Zverev.

I prefer his playing style in 2011, he was hitting the ball from some ridiculous angles. He made Federer and Nadal look like fools. I don't think I've seen a player so unstoppable. Now he's battling with the likes Bautista, its sad.

Jeezus what is it with these players today who are breaking top players but just can't hold their level? RBA didn't even have to force it, but two unforced on his own serve after a break? Then three serve faults? Ugh.

Dzumhur did the same thing and blew the match.

Old school Djokovic was such fun to watch. Flat agressive hitting. I liked his serve more too back then (although it probably wasn’t as effective as the one he had during his peak)

Yeah totally agree. At times he could overpower Federer (see their Montreal match) or even the first 2 AO encounters.

I much preferred aggressive Djokovic to the later pusher version who outgrinded everyone with his consistency.

Agut is playing in surges - a few good games at a time. Time for another surge to end the set.

Federer could hang with Djokovic but Nadal was hopeless until 2012 where he adjusted his tactics.

Djokovic still far from his outrageous standards, but getting there match by match, we can only hope. Roberto solid as usual, he won't go without a fight.

What a marathon this has been, Novak fans should be happy he is lasting here, he could go far if he gets through this match.

I thought the field caught up rather than Novak declining.

Djokovic will beat Zverev if he wins today. This isnt best of 3 and Zverev has played 2 five setters already.
