The crowd was not nice to Djokovic. And Djokovic wants people to like him. But Serbian crowd would be even worse to Roddick, I think.
How will Djokovic handle the U.S. Open crowds this year?

Djokovic admitted to using the timeouts due to lack of conditioning in an interview after his match against Monfils at the 2005 U.S. Open.

I will read it later. I remember that match. Djokovic always had bad fitness as I can remember. But all young players have it that way, including Del Potro now. But, why is Monfils complaining? Did you see what he did against Safin in that match?

No one remembers this anyway....And besides, they were not that bad during the Fed match in semis . And that was 2 days after the Roddick match. So, there will be no problems this time. This is nor RG, for Christ's sake.

Yeah, they were booing him during his SF against Fed and it clearly affected him.
I think it could be a factor in an upset if he plays someone like Querrey or Isner in the 3rd rd....

The French hate the Spanish ??? Would never have guessed that seeing Veronique et al. The other bolded part is fine ... about being bitter.:twisted:
Is Cesc French too ? Do they hate the Swiss as well ?

Well they have a bit of a rivalry considering for years the Spanish have won the FO and Tour De France trophies way more often than the French.
I think after last year's incident he's alot better actually. Takes a little bit too much time, but the losses this year have really humbled him I think. I actually wanted him to beat Roger in the final of Cincinnati, since he seemed like he really appreciated his win over Nadal in the SF.

I think it's because the FO is more like the Spanish/South-American Slam that the French Slam.The French and Spanish aren't exactly on friendly terms with spanish tennis getting ahead of french tennis,they have the football(soccer) rivalry and the tour de france thing as well.The spanish own them in their own house at RG and that can't sit too well with them.I also think the french love pretty tennis as evidenced by their production of talented but weak minded players like gasquet,tsonga and even monfils.This is why they wanted Federer to win the RG and I think they can feel more for Federer's type of tennis and they also like the fact that he can speak french so they can feel close to him because the language barrier isn't there unlike with Nadal.
I think it's ironic that one of the countries that produces some of the most flashy tennis players hosts a GS with a surface that doesn't really cater to that style,quite the opposite,the clay courts at RG reward consistency/grinding,which is a concept that french players are not that familiar with.

Simply due to the fact that i've been viewing this forum for a while now. I found Countryhillbilly to be a fair and well balanced poster. I only realised however that he got banned a few minutes ago. Anyhow, if does comeback, it will be a joy.

I never understood what was so gutsy about Novak calling out the crowd when the crowd was actually applauding him before he attacked them for no reason. :?
Either way, I think the crowd will be fine with Novak this year. The Americans are a forgiving people. The media will try to hype this up to create controversy but both Roddick and Djokovic have learned not to take the bait.
btw, it's annoying how everybody leaves Tommy Robredo off the hook in this sordid mess. It was Tommy who started the ball rolling on Novak's injuries. And his accusations were far more damaging than anything Roddick said.

B/c nobody cares about Tommy Borebredo enough to give 2 craps about what he says. That'd be my guess.
Except of course for gj011, who instantly added Robredo to his s##t list following his comments, joining the likes of Roddick and Federer in that aspect.

I think you are right. Even though Robredo has been top ten he is kind of a forgotten player isn't he? He could choke Novak in the players lounge and nobody would pay attention. But if Roddick sneezed in Novak's space it'd be reported everywhere.

I didn't know Djokovic can be so bad. He was such a jerk when he was young, but I didn't know about this. But that writer wants to say that that match ruined Monfils' career, like Monfils would be better than Djokovic if that did not happen. That's dumb. Monfils is like Nadal with faster serve and no technique.
Is this the return of Gj011=ShouldRetire=goyeji=julesb=gjules011=Junosa=FILA
