U.S. Open 2015 SF: Novak Djokovic ([1] - Marin Čilić [9]

[maxrenn]

Jim Courier, it is not 'Joe-ker-vich'!

 

[insideguy]

This is embarrassing for the atp. Really it is.

 

[Legend of Borg]

wtf is this

not even a proper semi

 

[La Grande]

Cilic looked drunk after the first game

 

[Emiliano55]

Am I the only one who thinks that Djokovic peaking in the semis is a good new for Federer/Wawrinka ?

 

[The Green Mile]

Wow, Dent has only seen one shot around the net post...

 

[Algo]

I don't understand how someone could be enjoying this beatdown. It's embarrassing for Cilic and pretty nasty of people here to be urging Djokovic on to humiliate him.

Player X fans instead of tennis fans.

I want the better match, before I fall asleep!

 

[underground]

Worse beatdown in slam semi was by Borg who lost 1 game at the French 1978

Every now and then, it's just beautiful to see an absolute demolition. Sure, I tend to prefer hotly contested matches, but tennis wouldn't be the same if we didn't get some murderous shellacking from time to time. Naturally, I'd hope that Cilic can at least play better while it happens.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Put him out of his misery Novak.

 

[The Green Mile]

Djokovic serving for the match. 5/2...

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

Just watch some points and, well Novak is playing well, but the problem is that Cilic is doing nothing. Still Think Fed can beat Novak current form

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Lol. Thank goodness this crap will be over.

 

[merwy]

When cilic' backhand is off, it's really one of the ugliest strokes out there

 

[La Grande]

hahahahahaa terrible showing

Goran's ego is more bruised than Marin's

 

[Deleted member 77403]

The site of his greatest triumph has become the site of his greatest humiliation

 

[NatF]

Glad the second SF will be on soon, thought it might be a very late one. Djokovic is very considerate of the non American viewers.

 

[maxrenn]

Am I the only one who thinks that Djokovic peaking in the semis is a good new for Federer/Wawrinka ?

Not really since it seems no harder than a practice session for him. If he had to peak to come through a tough match then yes but this is tantamount to a walkover.

 

[insideguy]

I think even sean Connery stood up and screamed WTF IS THIS!

 

[ZiggyStardust]

I don't understand how someone could be enjoying this beatdown. It's embarrassing for Cilic and pretty nasty of people here to be urging Djokovic on to humiliate him.

I'm not enjoying this in the slightest. Terrible match. Want it to be over soon. Will be over soon if Djoker wraps up quickly.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

At least 5 hrs 54 min.

(laughs!)

"At least.."

 

[abmk]

Am I the only one who thinks that Djokovic peaking in the semis is a good new for Federer/Wawrinka ?

no, there's possibility he's peaked early ...

 

[zagor]

But even a guy like Darren Cahill says Cilic's serve is his serve, but it plays into the hands of Novak .

I personally don't think it is a weapon, at least not today. Last USO he was hitting the spots so well, he is looking a shell of that player.

Last USO everything worked for him but overall throughout his career I think his serve has been relatively mediocre for someone of his height. I mean it's men's tennis, most guys can serve hard and hit the spots decently and Marin doesn't really stand out in any regard to me.

Yes unless you have a mirror handy.

 

[csmoove899]

This is embarrassing for the atp. Really it is.

This is the clown they had to issue a silent ban to?

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Sitting here, thinking about Tsonga and rainbows.

 

[Inanimate_object]

Still, you can imagine that Cilic is having the worst time of his life out there. And people here are ganging up on him? Kinda makes be believe no one here understands empathy at all. They just cheer their favourites and hate everyone else.

 

[torpantennis]

Player X fans instead of tennis fans.

Easy to say that in Chile. I'm about to fall asleep in Europe! Fed-Stan please, ASAP!

 

[tennisaddict]

This is a lesson for everyone (including myself) who call Andy-Novak matches boring.

 

[D.Nalby12]

One game away from joining Laver and Federer.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What do you think? 

Flashes off 2011 are returning, with some of these shots like? The final will be tough but Djoko looking imperious. Now we can sit back and watch fed and Stan tire each other out haha

 

[Rozroz]

is it just me or Novak's game today is not appreciated enough here?
in this mode he's almost impossible to defeat.
not just Cilic's fault.

 

[La Grande]

The site of his greatest triumph has become the site of his greatest humiliation

Tragic

 

[tennisdad65]

Thankfully this was not the Finals. Cilic deserves a good round of boos.

 

[FedTheMan]

This is FO08 territory.

 

[torpantennis]

Start booing please crowd!

 

[The Green Mile]

Nice shot from Novak, dang...

 

[Fedeonic]

Am I the only one who thinks that Djokovic peaking in the semis is a good new for Federer/Wawrinka ?

Finally a guy thinking the same as me, Djokovic is peaking right now, but really bad effort from Cilic.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Well, he'll have to use it as fire for the next meeting. Godspeed Cilic, BLNT.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

 

[La Grande]

LOL Novak hitting a backhand smash.. ooooozing confidence. Feel bad Cilic, feel bad

 

[President]

@Russeljones said that Cilic had the second best serve in the game yesterday. Not to be a dick and rub it in (ok, maybe a little bit), but doesn't that seem ridiculous now? A guy like Raonic or even Tsonga/Lopez would have not have been broken so many times.

 

[uscwang]

Cilic has little to threaten Novak to start with. Besides, he is gassed from several hard-fought matches in the tournament.

 

[ZiggyStardust]

Djokovic made a backhand smash.

 

[insideguy]

Whew that was a close one

 

[Algo]

Pretty much what internet anonymity does to people. Wanna think it's a persona they made, but I can't be sure.

 

[merwy]

Holy crap.. what a blowout

 

[maxrenn]

Someone call the police - someone just got murdered!

 

[NatF]

The best thing about this match is how happy Jelena looks
