did Nole raise a sweat or just managed to warm up?

a shame for Kyle could have been a little more patient but the Hackery was dishartening

Can Tsonga take out Ultron? The robot like defence looked a lot better.

Tsonga needs to up his first serve, win points on his forehand and net approaches.

Tomorrow is Griggs vs Murrtaugh followed by Aga vs Konjuh for the night session. I think Konjuh played a really good match against Aga earlier in the Summer.

Cheers mate. Looking forward to Djokovic vs Tsonga and hoping it's a proper match. Boring watching the top player take out these mugs with ease.
 
Novak was in a dangerous mood tonight. He came out of the blocks quickly and was very aggressive. He was hitting his spots with his serve and his return and forehand were blistering. He played at a such a high intensity and tempo that it was hard for Edmund to stay with him. Novak relaxed a bit too much when he was up 2-0 in the 3rd and the set became closer than what it should have been but overall a nice match from him. He won't be happy with losing his serve twice in a row or the double faults but that may be a little rust from playing so little the last few days. That is the best I've seen him play since the RG final so hopefully he can build on this.

Hope Tsonga plays the match of his life for once like he did to beat Federer a long time ago but even then will always suicide himself the next round
 
Much better performance. I've been really concerned how the lack of matchplay would affect him, seems to answer my question tonight.
 
Nole deserves the 20 slams and few mention that his diet is not just gluten free as
the guy eats mainly vegan with a little fish once in a while which prob accounted for
his losses vs QueerE & DelPo his mind has become rock solid and emulating Carl Lewis
kind of focus by staying off all meats similar to Ivan Lendl and Gonzo under Stefanki diet

After defeating Rafa at the 2012AO only plant based protein

Watched the last two sets. Djokovic dominated most of the match with Edmund playing some awesome points here and there. I like Edmund's strokes.

there secret to Noles next step in fitness and he tried to get all players to see what he does
now thats someone who wants to help other tennis players, I have new found respect for him
and most serbians should follow this incredible ambassador of tennis.

I hope he brings out a sustainable tennis ball that is better quality and priced for everyone to be
able to afford new balls for every game that is played. I often see struggling juniors play with flat
balls cause they cant afford them. Also some 2nd hand racquet donation for poor kids.
Im sure many of us can donate a few old racquets to increase tennis as a sport!
 
My God, the commentator on Eurosport was in full Djokovic worship mode last night. Completely over the top with anything Edmund did as well, guess we should expect that though. But seriously don't think Djokovic was amazing he was good but a long way from a flawless performance. Plenty of players could trouble him in that form. Edmund's not one of them. At the moment at least.
 
I didn't get to watch the match. How did Djokovic look in terms of:

a) match fitness? (potential rustiness from not playing enough tennis)

b) his injury?

Were any of these things an issue?

He looked really sharp and intense last night early on. He had that "Iceman" look that I have been missing for the last few months. He smothered Kyle for the first two sets and didn't let him breathe or get comfortable. He was able to break him at will even though Kyle was serving around 70%. When he was up 2-0 in the 3rd, he lost his serve and had the trainer massage his right arm and elbow. He then lost his serve again and Kyle was up a break at 3-2. Djokovic then turned it back up and broke back. That was not good for him to lose his serve twice in a row like that nor the 7 double faults. I do think his serve was more of the norm last night as he regularly hit them at 119, 117, 118, which is more of the norm for him. He also was going big on the 2nd like he had been doing which may have caused the double faults because he hasn't been serving them in the 100 mph range since RG. Overall, he looked good but I hope the arm is not a major issue.

Thanks :) I also watched the highlights on youtube and it looks like it fits with your analysis :p Yes, hopefully that arm is not an issue.

You are one of the few that has the ideal insight into the heavyweight champion's game and mental state. The Ice Man is the perfect way to describe how he played the first few sets, spot on.

And you being another. ;) Yea when he goes into his "Iceman" form he only allows 3 games in 2 sets. He did it to Nadal, Federer and Murray this year. I hope Iceman will show up again this tournament. I've been waiting for his return.
