Red Hot Cilic Pepper will get heartburn if he continues his poor second serve points won trend of under 50% vs Kohlietrov. Joe Kovic in two.

Wrong.
Annacone said the court speed was " medium slow." He decried that a formally fast tourney has turned to molasses. Paris has been slow for many years.
It doesn't matter if they're playing on carpet, grass, glass or any other surface known to mortal man, Djoker is destroying this choker 3 and 2.

Paris was 38.5 CPI last year and 39.1 the year before that. That is close to med fast and it definitely isn't slow this year.

Not quite sure what people are watching. Since 2016 London and Paris have been above medium, so around medium fast or fast.
Cilic did beat Djokovic in this round 2 years ago but he’s a different player today, so I’ll say Djokovic 6-2 6-3.

I have no idea how people measure this by eye-test...
The camera lens makes it look like it's played on the moon. Slow, way too contracted. Annoying af.

I hate that camera angle as well and never liked it really. You'd think they would have changed it by now.

Look at Cilic's face. He's so nervous it looks like he's passing a kidney stone.
Has he recently switched to Fila?

Cilic's last three losses have come to the titanic trio of Struff, Jarry and Copic.

To be honest though, Cilic is one of the only players that can actually beat Novak on a good day right now. Beat him at Queen's and played him close at Cinci, not to mention a win in Bercy here 2 years ago. Kandy, Nishi, Zed etc can forget about it. So can Fed until he finds his mojo again.

Djokovic has been executing that forehand down the line more and more with match he plays.

Lol, people have no time for notorious chokers
It's a love/hate relationship, very fickle we are...

Novak just hit a Fed like brainfart approach.

Yeah, he's one of the likeable guys on tour. I know the serbs dislike him though. (Posters here included)

He came over at WO and chatted to us in the queue in the rain, so my only problem with Cilic is that he is too nice to have what it takes to be a top 3 player

You also get GOATing Cilic firing from all cylinders to "I keep netting mid-court forehands" in the same set, let alone match. It's a very roller coaster ride with Marin.

Correct.
