Losing today was actually the BEST thing to happen to Djokovic in a long time and here's why.

[Airspun]

1. Delivers a funny, yet emotional, and humble speech (gets the crowd on his side)
2. Can now win USO and not feel bad about it
3. Gets more older fans who feel sorry and bad he lost to a youngster.
4. Gets more younger fans who want to see a rematch to break the 1-1 grand slam tie.
5. WIN WIN WIN

The only thing he will gain if he continues to behave like this is the boos from the public, more warnings for him by the chair umpire and for his bad fortune, if he wants to behave like an idiot, he could get a second disqualification in NY if he hits the ball at a linesman/woman again after a sudden outburst on his part.

Wimb was the only place he had low competition.. the field is much stronger in HC and clay..

I expect him to struggle till the end of this year. He may resurge in AO 24, but 2023 seems done for him in my view.

 

[roysid]

The one good thing is that nobody will tell from now on ..he won against an weak field. Its still true to some extent

So looks like your CYGS bet didn't pay off. Back to the 250s to make back your losses or?

Aleksander can now send him to Kosovo to smash more rackets.

 

[Mike Sams]

Novak praying for Sinner to take out Carlos for him at USO. But unfortunately Sinner has badly regressed while Carlos has improved.

Alcaraz will smash him in AO too.

Alcaraz will smash him in AO too.

Yes I expect him to. Alcaraz should be dominating Novak in slams from here on. The best bet for Novak is that someone takes out Alcaraz early or he gets injured.

I think a 5 set close match win gives more confidence than a straight setter like Med had against Novak in USO 21. Here Novak actually played well throughout except the 3rd set. I expect Alcaraz to perform even better and get an easier win in their next meet.
