US Open 16 Round 3: (1) Djokovic vs Youzhny

[veroniquem]

To an injured Novak maybe.?

Loooool. The delusion is high with this one!

 

[Mainad]

Everyone is scared stiff of Novak. They start feeling faint as soon as he walks onto the court. That's the heavyweight champion of the world effect

Sometimes before he even walks onto the court and even with a dodgy wrist. I guess that's charisma for you!

 

[Deleted member 743561]

As much as I'd love to see him win, he had trouble with a guy I've never even heard of last night. So unless he really picks it up, I don't see him making it past the Quarters.

Probably the case. Still worth the price of admission for me on the strength of that BH, alone. Other side of the draw has a buttload of good stories. I give them real shots this go-round.

Loool, good joke I'm guessing Delpo is immune to this?

 

[junior74]

What does "Djokovic deserves it" even mean??? He deserves to win without playing? Bizarre.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Well at the Olympics he certainly appears to be.

Olympics don't count

That is because the big guy kills Novak with his kindness.

 

[StrongerThanAll]

Djokers continued dominance is frightening.

Stars are aligning for our King Novak to get his 13th slam and 3rd USO crown!

Family program.

 

[3fees]

Smart of Youzhny to retire.

Cheers

It will be 2 in the morning where I am before I get to watch any night session tennis.

Damn that sucks! I thought you were in the US. I'm getting old not sure I can wait till gone midnight to watch Rafa but I guess it is Friday so...

Spot on. You can kill him by love. Give him hate and he will win.

 

[Mainad]

So what happened to the Colonel, then?

 

[Gary Duane]

Novak gives people the evil eye and they crumble.

2011 USO, Niland wins one game then retires against Novak in the 1st round.

In the QFs, Novak splits two TBs in the first two sets, then bagels Tipsarevic who is getting bageled again in set 4 and retires.

If was in US, I would be in California, which would be ideal, but I currently live in Ukraine so it is a struggle for me, since I am in pre-contest mode right now and training for some bodybuilding and fitness shows this fall. So, not really getting much chance to watch right now.

2014 AO:

Golubev retires to Wawrinka, 1st round.

Walk over Pospisil in 3rd round, Wawrinka wins the slam.

Seems to be pretty rare. There are som 5 round wins at the AO earlier, but that's because of fewer rounds....

 

[ruerooo]

Reported back problems.

Ahh harsh dude, well good luck with the training and the shows

The worst.

Still bummed about that one.

 

[uscwang]

Now, Novak's next opponent will really need to embrace himself ...

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Thanks, and I prefer harsh.

It's my final season competing, competing in Vegas end of this month, then a string of shows, and finally retiring in Buenos Aires in December. Done it long enough, so going hard to finish strong with no regrets.

And an injured Rafa in the final no less.

 

[Goosehead]

too many old blokes on the tour clogging up the tourneys. youzhny is 34, must really love playing tennis I suppose.

 

[tennis_pro]

Could get harder...

Edmund can easily beat Isner in the next round.

See bro, already up a break in the 1st set.

I'm watching.

 

[tennis_pro]

I'm watching.

First time I see the dude in action and he already reminds me of Courier.

I've only seen bits of him here and there, saw that performance in Miami he put on. Very gritty game.

There are people still believing this?!

I'm so suspicious of British sport right now. Giggle.

Dream draw for djokovic. Hasn't had to expend energy.

 

[Mainad]

The Colonel?

"Mikhail Mikhailovich Youzhny (born 25 June 1982), nicknamed "Mischa" and "Colonel" by his fans..."

Dream draw for djokovic. Hasn't had to expend energy.

I know, right? If he wins the US Open, it'll be playing 5 matches and less than a set. That's just crazy. Stars aligning? Or will rusty Novak be defeated?

I know, I was just messing with you.

 

[TennisHound]

I would like to predict Novak in 1 set.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Solid match.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Solid match.

Djokovic is a solid player.

Janowicz, mental break.
Vesely, walk over.
Youzhny, retired.

What can we expect from Edmund in the next round? I predict disqualification by an unsportsmanlike conduct during the match.

The fact that he gets Edmund and not Isner is insane. Is Sock going to be his QF opponent now too?

True, he gets lucky again not because he gets the lesser player but also he doesn't get a serve bot. We all know Novak doesn't like them. Had trouble with big and strong guys like Karlovic, Anderson, Delpo.

 

[Murrayfan31]

Is Djokovic the most lucky man who ever played tennis?

The short answer. Yes!

 

[Murrayfan31]

We don't know yet if it will work for him or against him. It worked against him at RG 2011.
Not getting into any rhythm. (But freshness will be top to go 5 against the tree )

Federer also was rested. And that was probably the best match Federer ever played on clay.
