Is Djokovic losing on purpose to Roddick ever since US Open 2008?

[Shady_Sawyer]

Ever since that 2008 US open drama between them I have a feeling that Djokovic loses to Roddick every time they play on hard courts even without a fight ....is it guilty conscience about the way Djokovic belittled Roddick on his home turf thats making him tank these matches and letting Roddick win easy?

[KingOfTennis]

Actually, they don't I assume you saw the roddick vs djokovic exhibition from seoul. In this case, djokovic won 6-2 6-4. Of course, its an exhibition though. But Roddick just happens to play djokovic very well. Even in that 08 USO loss, it was still a close 4 setter with novak getting to the tiebreak on a roddick service gift.

A none Nadal thread is good (finally!), but WTF? Djokoivc is the lesser player in their H2H. That's it.

Yes agreed, lets just be happy that this isn't a "who can beat nadal" "will nadal be GOAT" type of thread ehh?

 

[ashitaka2010]

Yes, and he purposely f... up his serve motion too!

Don't embarrass yourself Tommy.

I saw all these matches on tv....so lets see . After that drama there was

AO 09 - Roddick, Andy
6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2, 2-1 RET Stats

ok maybe djokovic was too exhausted from the heat so i'll let that one go.

2009 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells
CA, U.S.A. Hard Q Roddick, Andy
6-3, 6-2 Stats

2009 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Canada
Montréal, Canada Hard Q Roddick, Andy
6-4, 7-6(4) Stats

2010 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Cincinnati
OH, U.S.A. Hard Q Roddick, Andy
6-4, 7-5 Stats


But then we have the next 3 matches and anybody who has seen them knows how pathetic djokovic played in all of em shanking balls all over the place like as if he was doin it on purpose coz he is not a rank 100 player and secondly there is no way Roddicks game is good enough to make Djokovic shank all those shots. He was not under much pressure at all. Shank mode can happen in one match...but 3 straight matches against Roddick on hard courts. I think this is an unusual pattern.

Either that or he is being surreptitiously hypnotised at these events.

Or, Roddick may just have the mental advantage against Djokovic (like Nads has against Feds)

Anyway, I thought the rumour was that Roddick had retired?

What's Roddick's next scheduled event anyway?

I know Roddick doesn't exactly light up his fall schedules but surely he must appear in the Masters...

Roddick doesn't feed Djokovic pace which is exactly what you're suppose to do against him. Not to mention Djokovic can never hit a FH return against Roddick's swinging serve.

He's playing in Tokyo next week, before the Masters.
