I've never cared so little about an ongoing match of Novak's.
When will Nadal's match start?

He is not even seriously losing and you are ready to throw him out of the window? That is some support.

I can only imagine what will happen, if he slumps again.

:cool:

Who cares about the last three slams? He is playing horrible tennis right now.

Good luck against the Nadal.
You think Novak cares about a clay masters lol. Short of going full Tomic he could not be less engaged at the moment. Dude is aiming solely for slams and not giving a bleep about anything else. Smart. Why burn out with a bunch of deep grinding clay masters runs.

Interesting that such program is met with so much enthusiasm from his avid supporters.

Wasn't he the BOAT, who is above all mentally and physically? The model after which every future player will be shaped?

I remember Federer playing full schedule at his age with two ATGs on his back. What happened there?

:cool:

He just won the second set, so apparently he cares.

Nothing matters but slams. Fed fan taught us that. So that’s what ur getting. Besides, he already top’d Roger in Masters play.

I think you are doing a full Tomic right now. And by the looks of it, this isn’t your first time.

The problem is that you can't just build your confidence from nothing. If (and only if), Djokovic wins 0 clay titles before RG and plays overall poor, he will have doubts with his game and will not play good at RG.

Of course, this is a hypothetical scenario, as he has just won the second set against Medvedev and there is no need to worry yet.

You don't seriously consider that Novak bases his opinion on what "Fed fan taught us", so that must not be the explanation.

Also, what does it matter whether Novak has topped Fed's M1000 record when firstly, he is still trailing there, and secondly, the big deal to the records is to do it while playing everywhere, where you can't pick and choose, and rely on having no younger ATGs to throw you out of the Majors?

:(
 
Nadal is the big favourite for the French Open! I don’t see Novak winning the French on this form and it’s nadals backyard. However, I expect Djoko back at his best for Wimbledon!

As a 32-year-old player,Djoker is not so solid like few years ago.No surprise anyway.Wish him good luck.

Pepe' re-entry into the scene is reason to worry but with or without Pepe, Djokovic can't win it all like he did in 2015. This Djokovic is like 2009 Fed - peaking for Slams and flopping everywhere else.

He is too passive on his groundstrokes, and his power is way down. I see a lot of rally balls and not enough winners. This is either mental, the racquet or a combination of both. His footwork is fine.

The Nole fans have endlessly told us he'll have 30 majors easily when he retires, if not more. He's already GOAT anyway since he holds all the Masters, haven't you heard? :)

I love how there's more "Nole fans said" comments from toxic fed fans (especially you) than statements actually coming from Novak supporters. But go on, be the only one talking, if that's what you need in a debate. :)

The smile on NOLE’s face at the end of the match: he doesn’t give a f anymore except of GS’s. See you on Paris.

Not "toxic" at all, bro. I was actually rooting for Novak in MC and expecting him to win the event. If that's toxicity for you, that's a spectacularly low bar or perhaps a misunderstanding of what "toxic" means. There are a multitude of thesaurus sites online for your benefit, however.

I think that Pepe was there because of Marko Djokovic who is his 'depressed little brother'. I don't think he is back in his team. Vajda did give him an ultimatum 'Pepe has to go' ... 'Eat fish' etc.

I also believe that Djokovic is calculating things and Djokovic is anything but stupid. Sure, I could be wrong but that is my feeling. His priorities are somewhere else. We'll see what happens at RG. :)

You're making mean-spirited comments that are basically: "They say Novak good, but he bad, fedr goat" over and over and over again. They are practically invitation to a meaningless dog fight, so yeah, I'd say it's pretty toxic. Rooting for Novak here has nothing to do with it. And is there something wrong with expecting tt to be a nicer place to debate than 4chan?

Where was you to complain about "toxicity" when certain Djokovic fans were making thread after thread about the things BeatlesFan is talking about?

I didn't hear/read a blip/word from you.

Pepe is back in the nole box....
That sums up all..
You can pretty much say goodbye to nole 3.0 if pepe stays.... And this time there'll be no hopes of resurgence....
Wait till rg/wimby then will see if nads approach was better of going balls deep in the clay masters or Noles approach of taking it easy in masters 1000 and going balls deep in French Open.

Novak is not training like he should which was obvious when he showed up in IW thin as a rail with considerable less muscle than Australia and he is undercooked. His focus just doesn't seem to be there right now and he needs to snap out of it because that's 3 losses in a row now early in tournaments. I think this loss will catch his attention though and he will be a different player in Madrid. It has nothing to do with Pepe who can never come back to Novak's team as long as Vadja is his coach.

"It has been long time since my brother has done a good job," he says. "It has been time we moved off the grid, it has become the land of science and creation."

How on earth did he even think that meditation could possibly have any role whatsoever?

He came off a steaming pile of garbage showing at RG'18 and talked openly about skipping Wimbledon. Then he hoisted the Trophy a month later. Confidence is not an issue. Form, that can come and go. He needs to train and peak his game appropriately. He knows what he's doing and he'll give himself the best chance. Doesn't mean he'll win RG but its clear his strategy is to peak for slams and care f@#&-all for M1000s. He won almost every M1000 in 2015 but still whiffed at RG'15 and completely burnt himself out mentally and physically by RG'16.

Djokovic will be sure to peak, when he has to. Whether he wins RG, is a different story, as many factors come into play. But I'm sure he will be ready to play in Paris.

People that reflect their own shortcomings on others are funny, damaged and annoying but funny.
