Wimbledon 2018 QF - Djokovic (12) vs Nishikori (24)

[RS92]

Djokovic leads the H2H 13-2 lol.

 

[mike danny]

Novak gets the easiest possible opponent on grass in the QF.

Where's the poll?
Edit: You added it.

 

[tenisdecente]

Not a single chance for Injuredkori, straight sets for Novak and I predict it can be ugly, I think Nishikori, just to make things different, had a little physical problem today. LMAO

 

[World Beater]

djoko certainly has the h2h...but strange things happen. like thiem destroying djokovic at the French last year.

nishikori is playing close to his best stuff, and novak is rounding into form. Should be a great match.

 

[George Turner]

I'm gonna give this one a miss. We know exactly what the result will be, it's not an interesting match up.

Enjoy the match folks.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko in 3 sets! He’s on the March. So is Nadal! What a cracking semi we must likely gonna get!

 

[RS92]

Where's the poll?

Maybe it's an invisible poll?

 

[uscwang]

Both have shown good forms in this tournament.
Glad that Novak is back on the high-stakes table of tennis, where he belongs. Will he overthrow the Fedal Duopoly for a 2nd time?

 

[RF-18]

I don't know but this ninja always scares me. This is no lock at all.

 

[Krish872007]

Novak in 3. He's looking good. Nishi has had a very nice little run here, but it's grass.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Enough of this matchup

 

[Tennisanity]

Djoko is gonna crush Nadal, no?

 

[fednad]

Djokovic to start the match and will bounce the balls till Kei pulls eye muscle by watching that up-an-down bounce.
Then Kei will call trainer and go out injured.

 

[fednad]

Djoko is gonna crush Nadal, no?

Nadal?
Is that Nadullio you are talking of ?

 

[zagor]

I don't know but this ninja always scares me. This is no lock at all.

Heh, said the same earlier today. That I have a bad feeling about this match for no apparent reason.

 

[Terry Tibbs]

I'm intrigued by this match. Nish was amazing against Kyrios and could make this competitive. Would have to go with Ultron though in 4. 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4

I take it you are a Djokovic fan then? Or are you pretending to be?

 

[junior74]

Djoko is gonna crush Nadal, no?

That would imply Nadal is not healthy, no?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Lawd this match up


First meeting on grass?

Nobody beats Nishikori 13 times in a row?

 

[zagor]

It's a mistery.

 

[jaggy]

Right now its advantage Djoke I think

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Djokovic in 3 sets. 6-4 6-3 6-4 or something like that.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Firstly, full credit to Nishikori, because he came out of the most competitive round of 16 section, which had Kyrgios and Zverev in it, and to do it on grass is extra special. His best ever run on grass IMO. However, Djokovic is a man on mission now, he looks hungry, really hungry and he wants to go all the way. Nishikori will have to play the best grass match of his career to take this one from Djokovic, Novak terminates the ninja in 3 or 4 sets.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko is gonna crush Nadal, no?

I doubt it. It will be a close match. They both in form and it will be interesting to see them play on grass.

Djokovic has won the last 12?!

Underappreciated gif.

Enjoy the match folks.

Why skip? I’m expecting some great baseline rallies. I love the Wimby grass.

Djoker in 4. I also have a bad feeling whenever Nole plays Kei, so let’s see what happens

 

[tennisaddict]

Nishikori may not even finish the match. He would have retired if he lost the 3rd set which he was a point away on many occasions

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Underappreciated gif.

This one might work even better (same guy as well)

 

[Bukowski]

Novak will roll him unfortunately. Gulbis didnt look to consistent today but t least that wouldve been more entertaining.

 

[existential dread]

Djokovic in 2

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Djokovic vs Djokovic-lite. Tough choice.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Djokovic has won the last 12?!

Yep

 

[Sarzy]

Novak in 4

 

[BeatlesFan]

Djoker in three sets, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, though it will last 3.5 hours due to 40 ball bounces before each serve.

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

I don't know but this ninja always scares me. This is no lock at all.

You're kidding right?

This is one of the most ideal opposition for Djokovic with a gassed up Nishikori.

Even a C game Djokovic will beat him.

 

[Fedole]

Novak in 3 or 4, the only man to save the Fedal love-in on Sunday

 

[Red Rick]

Novak gets the easiest possible opponent on grass in the QF.

Well. All 3 avoid Isner.

I don't think any of Anderson, Delpo or Nishi are a threat, but no doubt Nishi is the easiest.

My guess is this match is match will be on Court 1 after Raonic/Isner, which in case it goes to an extended 5th set, could ruin the scheduling again.


Anyway. Good to see Nishikori back in the QF of a Slam. Weird that it's Wimbledon. Good on him, but the adventure ends here. Djokovic is coming to play. Djoko in 3 easy sets.

I don't know about that. It's not like Djokovic walks over him, there has been many tough encounters between them although the h2h shows something different. Check Rome lately, very tough match with few margins. The ninja can beat anyone on a great day.

Djokovic has to look out but I'm sure there will be no underrating from his side. He knows Ninja is a quality player.

 

[JoelSandwich]

Djokovic in whatever it takes

 

[Mike Sams]

Nishikori to roll over as he always does.

 

[Forehand_Slice]

As a Nishikori fan, hate this matchup Won't be watching.
Hope he at least pushes it to 4 sets.

 

[Nostradamus]

Djokovic leads the H2H 13-2 lol.

Kei can beat him like he did at the US open

 

[ewiewp]

It's very unclear to me.

Despite recent good runs, they both are on come-back trail, struggling to attain back the last a few % of their top forms.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Kei can beat him like he did at the US open

That was 12 matches ago (all lost by Kei) and 5 years ago. Kei hasn't a prayer in hell.

 

[Dilexson]

Djokovic vs Djokovic-lite. Tough choice.

Lol, i was hoping the match up doesn't happen this time.
I blame Kyrgios. Could've been a fun encounter with Novak rounding up to form.

 

[cc0509]

I haven't watched Nishikori at Wimbledon but I think on this surface Djokovic looks good enough to beat him. Probably Djokovic in straights.

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Nishi will take 7 shower breaks, still loses in 3.

 

[joekapa]

This will be tougher for Djoko, than what it seems. Nishi is playing great tennis, and taking down big serves. Something also tells me that they don't like eachother all that much, and that Nishi really wants a win against Djoko.

This will go to 4 sets. Dont' know who will win.......I am not kidding.

But if Djoko get's through this, book him in the final. No doubt.
