Casper Ruud is awesome on clay. You need to play very well to beat him on that surface.

 

[Kralingen]

De MUGaur mugs it up yet again.

Maybe I’ll tune in for the final

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Bathroomovic cutting it pretty close

 

[NoleFam]

Terrible quality match.

RUDD is surely a more dangerous player on clay than is De MUGaur?

In before RUDD can't even beat Humbert on the slowest courts on tour!

Weird how at 37 Djoker is doing better on clay than hards. Maybe less joint strain. I look at this more as back to back days for the slight Djoker drop. When you’re his age the extra day makes all the difference in the world. He will still probably be the man to beat at RG

Terrible quality match.

Yeah it has been pretty bad. The rest of the players left in will not be worried one bit.

Clay field is weaker.

Yea Djokovic is still struggling to find his true form. At least it's better than this time last clay season. Lol

Very true. He normally sucks worse than this in Monte Carlo so that’s a big plus anyway.

Yea I mean maybe we're expecting too much. He's sucked at MC since 2016. Lol

another break and 2-0..

 

[Hitman]

This is such a scrap of a match.

What a way for ADM to lose his serve. Ouch!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic looks knackered out there.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic has been huffing and puffing since the 3rd game. How little tennis he's played really shows but he's really pushing himself in these rallies.

 

[Hitman]

Folks just a little info about another record Novak is chasing.

If he wins today, he will break Rafa's record of 76 masters semi finals, by reaching his 77th.

With the way this match is going, it is a IF, even with him ahead in the score.

 

[guga_fan]

Is Djokovic back on gluten? Seems physically weak lately.

I remember Fed and Nadal getting tired in long matches, but not after every long point.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Lol at people who thought the GOAT was losing to the pusher.

Now watch the pusher mount a comeback and make me look stupid.

 

[Hitman]

DJOKOSMASH after a stupid decision with the forehand.

 

[Hitman]

Game ADM.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

incredible how he lost two points that shoulda won

I agree. Djokovic looks Paggered out there. It will in longer run but this is brutal on him.

 

[NoleFam]

Those are tired errors.

 

[InsideOut900]

Making the hard shots, but missing the sitters. Not looking very good out there.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

I get this feeling there's zero love lost between these two. I know why.

Djokovic is blowing hot and cold, kind have been his story since winning the ATP Tour finals, very unconvincing.

 

[Bubcay]

More drama than I am comfortable with. Novak looks like all energy was sucked out of him..

 

[Deleted member 758560]

clayqueen

 

[Hitman]

Just one of those days.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Just one of those days.

Both guys so error prone right now.

 

[NoleFam]

I agree. Djokovic looks Paggered out there. It will in longer run but this is brutal on him.

De Minaur is basically gifting it to him though with 4 errors in a row. He's getting help. Our boy is getting old. 37 is ancient in tennis. Physically, it's harder to push yourself to train and motivate yourself like you used to.

 

[Arak]

Djokovic looks bored and lacking motivation. Understandably so.

I totally agree. Yeah ADM has helped him with some sloppy errors at times.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

ADM with another chance to break. Awful quality match.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

ooh gioco a bit of lucky with that miss of alex

 

[onyxrose81]

This match is annoying to just read about it. Couldn’t imagine watching it.

This is a typical Oldovic match against second tier opponents. He wins by simply showing up, his aura alone already claims victories over most opponents.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

ADM breaks back again!

 

[NoleFam]

This match isn't over though since he keeps losing serve.

 

[RF-18]

Wtf is going on with Djokovic. He can't control his breathing.

 

[rUDin 21]

Djokovic is playing on 30% here.

 

[NoleFam]

Wtf is going on with Djokovic. He can't control his breathing.

And it's not even that hot. That shows lack of fitness and we saw this in 2022 after his long layoff.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

looks like five games in a row with server losing serve, amazing lol

 

[Pmasterfunk]

This match is so scrappy I'm not even sure if it's worth watching for the lulz

 

[clayqueen]

Usually, Djokovic elects to serve if he wins the toss, or his opponent elects to receive if they win the toss. Then it goes with serve until 5:4. His opponent is now playing the scoreboard, and it’s 30:40 - Djokovic gets set point on his nervous opponent, who loses the next point, and the set is in Djoker's pocket. He starts the second set serving first, and the same scenario happens: GSM Djokovic.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Ugly match for sure. A complete grind and survival of the fittest here.

 

[Bubcay]

Hold your serve now for God's sake Novak..

 

[junior74]

Not watching, because this is too predictable. One break for Novak in each set, or I would be shocked.

 

[TripleATeam]

@Djokovic_is_the_best#1 @TripleATeam gonna be tuning in or not?

No, at work.

 

[Bubcay]

This match is so scrappy I'm not even sure if it's worth watching for the lulz

Yeah, quite a torture to be honest..

 

[Kralingen]

All I know is, they're disgusting to watch.

This is a total mugfest. Like one of the lowest quality matches you’ll ever watch.
