US Open QF: (6) Novak Djokovic vs John Millman

[disgruntledamsel]

He’s starting to look more drunk than he was in Shanghai..

 

[The Green Mile]

Follows it up with an 83 mph double fault.

 

[Meles]

This is what we Aussies call “tenderising”.

 

[sbengte]

Nadal is now guaranteed to defend USO. Delpo and Djoko/Nishi will be defeated by the roof.

 

[Nostradamus]

Novak is dead tired..... Rope a dope,,,,,,,,,,Rope a dope. Guess who is dope....................

 

[Raindogs]

Who is the Dapper Dan in the Joker camp with a sweater tied around his neck?

 

[mightyrick]

Leave it to an Aussie -- who trains regularly in 120F heat -- to regard the Northeastern US summer weather like it is a walk in the park, lol.

 

[AndyM]

There's no circulation of air they need to get some fans in there

 

[DariusD]

Who was the A&E firm that designed this roof? You'd think they'd do proper calcs for this and not have tennis quality suffer.

 

[icedevil0289]

at this rate the final will be nadal vs millman...

 

[donquijote]

 

[AndyM]

That's joko's agent

 

[Mack-2]

A wild drunk Djoker reappears [emoji33]

 

[AndyM]

Remember it's not the heat it's the humidity fed said so himself

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Well, if Millman beats Federer and Djokovic back to back, isn't that already more impressive than winning the tournament?

 

[14OuncesStrung]

Seriously go away Millman

How about you grow up and/or get a life?!

 

[tennisenthusiast]

tiredovic asking for magic potion from his team.

 

[Pheasant]

Not happening. A straight set victory is not going to 'drain' Joker.

Don’t be too sure about that, Sherlock. Djokovic just buckled over. He is looking tired already. Millman can handle the humidity.

These are long rallies in extreme humidity. I live in the *******. We get these types of humid days all the time. One hour in this is like 2 hours in dry heat.

Let’s see how Djoker is feeling after 3 sets.

 

[The Green Mile]

Drunken Djokovic, fourth stumble of the match.

 

[onyxrose81]

How about you grow up and/or get a life?!

That seems overkill but ok

 

[disgruntledamsel]

Haha.. they are saying it’s like playing in Manila or something? sticky and dank with stale stagnant air. sounds like fun - that’s why they have the best pool players - with crazy good strokes. Something about the nightime plays tricks with your mind because psychologically it should be cooler than when the sun it out - yet it’s still stifflingly hot... why!

 

[Legend of Borg]

lmao what is djoker doing

did he slip or was that a half-hearted racket smash?

 

[Ray Mercer]

Djoko has Millman on a string but he’s missing some ridiculously easy shots. Millman is a big time pusher.

 

[donquijote]

No poll option that says "Both will lose".

 

[Legend of Borg]

at this rate the final will be nadal vs millman...

millman can beat hafa














on a treadmill

 

[The Green Mile]

I don't ever remember Millman's backhand being better than what it has been this USO. What a run it's been.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Millman is an Aussie so he can handle it... but the AO has been Novak's best tournament his entire career. But he can't handle it? Doesn't compute.

 

[oldmanfan]

I just praised Novak earlier and what is this? How is it that Millman is looking fresh as a daisy compared stamina-beast Djokovic?

 

[donquijote]

Djoko has Millman on a string but he’s missing some ridiculously easy shots. Millman is a big time pusher.

That's silly. He is not a pusher.

 

[True Fanerer]

WTF IS DJOKOVIC DOING

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Is it being interesting at least?

 

[Nostradamus]

Novak is Cramping in his legs......if that doesn't go away, he is in big time trouble...... because Millman isn't missing anything

 

[14OuncesStrung]

That seems overkill but ok

I’m glad we had this talk.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

I kind of like Millman's grunt.
Rrrrhaa.

 

[TennisHound]

Djokovic is gonna hurt himself with all his fake falling and goofiness lol. I hope Millman takes this one

 

[Bolt]

This is what we Aussies call “tenderising”.

This made me giggle uncontrollably.

 

[Meles]

This looks to be easily heading towards retirement. Djoko putting Murray to shame with these antics otherwise.

 

[oldmanfan]

at this rate the final will be nadal vs millman...

Can you imagine? Millman being the next Aussie GS champ? Oh, the memes, I can see it now @Federer and Del Potro .

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

For real, is this okay to keep playing, Djokovic looks like he's ready to fall out!

 

[The Green Mile]

Novak screaming at his box! Novak did not get what he wanted!

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Millman 6:3, 1:2
Djoker dropped a points - a bad volley to BP, a FH error when he had an open court in front of him.

 

[Ledigs]

Goes to show what Thiem and Nadal accomplished last night. AndMillman

Agree. Millman is FAR from a pusher.

Gilles Simon? Definitely a pusher. Simon and Millman are so diversely opposite that it isn't funny.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Djokovic with crazy looking groundstrokes and volleys and drop shots!

 

[True Fanerer]

Arias said he's acting

 

[donquijote]

 

[DariusD]

Is it being interesting at least?

It's adding tension but not due to sheer amount of shot-making.

 

[onyxrose81]

I wanted people to stop sleeping on Millman and penciling Novak in the semis/finals. Look at what you all did.

 

[The Green Mile]

Arias said he's acting

Arias has always been an arse though.

 

[TennisHound]

Hits a shot into the net and then it’s 5 mins of stupidity Gawd
