Poor icedevil though, I always have second thoughts cheering against Djoko because of icedevil..
The top seeds Nadal or Federer would love to have Djokovic in their side of the draw at Wimbledon
Haas won..i did NOT see that coming..i thought this was Nole's for the taking..
:lol: :lol:
sorry but that's too funny.roflmao
Yeah, it's ben a long time. I could only follow 2-3 matches between AO and RG since you get no ATP tennis on german TV and I didn't have the time to watch anything online. I had to set some priorities and watching tennis lost out this time.![]()
I see he is german, the crowd is in his side n djokovic has no clue about him. So it make sense i think he is wild card player.
But I'm sure n hope he will get good career in the tour, maybe he is only 19-20 years old.
yeah hehe I know what you mean.I only come back for slams nowadays too,but let's say that this year's RG has renewed my tennis interest!
Tommy and the bear!How sweet!![]()
Yeah, this could become one legendary tennis year.
Federer with a carreer Slam and the chance to get #15 Slam at Wimbledon. Nadal with the pressure to defend his first non RG slam and the chance to get the career slam at USO.
So I'll be rooting for Fed at Wimby and will be rooting for Nadal for the first time at a slam when he plays the USO. :shock: ;9
Would be the first year in tennis history where 2 players get the career slam.![]()
Thank you, means a lot to me!!! You're amazing.![]()

Anyways, I'm not too bothered by the loss. Nole played way too passively and Haas played well. I kind of like Haas, so it's not that bad.

Haas doesnt look 19-20, more like 31 because that is how old he is!
It would also be great for 2 players to win the Career Slam in the same year as it would shut up or atleast undercut the Agassi homers who use the Career Slam as some reverential achievement to gloss over the many glaring holes of his career (compared to other even secondary greats).
It's funny...Haas wasn't even a choice lol
Having Troicki and Melzer in the poll, but not Haas is a big faux pas, indeed.
Yep. I didn't see the first set, but Djokovic played like cr*p. No service to speak of. Blew tons of fh as ue. Ridiculous match. Haas was kinda O.K. Had some very good points and tried hard.This wasnt a good match at all. Haas played poorly and still won because Djokovic gave away the 3rd set even after Haas gave away the 2nd set tiebreaker. Errors galore, terrible serving, players not even moving well on the grass. The real champion lost in the semis IMO.
I only saw the 1st set and up to 6-6 in the 2nd.
Was Djoker injured in the third?
naw, no injury.
It was pretty scrappy to start in the third, tight but not great tennis (the drop in quality during the second set tiebreak carried over), Haas came out on top with the early break, and then after a hold each Tommy managed to turn it on a little to get the double break and close out. The third was tighter than the scoreline suggested, although really I think Tommy should have won the match in 2.
Man,losing 6-1 isn't good,I know Haas can play great when he's on but someting's wrong with Djokovic.Will have to catch a rerun but reading match comments here it seems Novak played to passive,too defensive.
Still he got a few grass wins under his belt so on to Wimbledon,hopefully he does solid there and avoids an early upset like last year.
Congrats to Haas, but what the hell is that in the final set? 6-1, I think Novak should have at least done a little better.
Thats a pretty good call. I know I haven't recovered. I watched that match on tv and we just hung on to every point. To miss 3 MP and then lose is so badNovak's loss to Rafa in Madrid - a bitter pill to swallow that.
He gave his all in that match, on the shoulders of really working to improve his fitness and his reward was a loss. It may take him awhile to recover from it mentally.
Haas won the first game, broke Djokovic, and won again. 3-0 and Djokovic never recovered.How in the world did Haas beat him 6-1 in the third? :shock::shock:
Is the Haas-Djokovic final video available anywhere for me to watch now?
Yeah, I'd really like to see it too... did you find it anywhere?
Yes, I found the complete match on ESPN360 and just watched the whole match.Yeah, I'd really like to see it too... did you find it anywhere?
