Wimbledon R3: (12) Novak Djokovic vs (21) Kyle Edmund

[maratha_warrior]

If i was djokovic i wud refuse to shake edmund's hand...
Cheater

 

[manley0702]

Novak really should be up a break. Not only did the ball bounce twice, it was also out.

And he ran into the net. That's three things wrong by the umpire, and the running into the net was the most aggregious.

Djokovic would have admitted that.

I disagree. He played Murray in either IW or Miami in 2014 or 2015. Djokovic clearly reached over the net to hit a volley, admitted he did it, but claimed he didn't know that it was against the rules.

 

[jss]

So that's now 3 messed-up calls: having the racket leave your hand, double-bounce, and out. wtf how did no one notice any of those lol :| that was terrible. edmund and the umpire should be embarrassed.

You forgot he also touched the net

 

[RS92]

Lol the MP

 

[metsman]

lol what a performance by the umpires

 

[sbengte]

Novak didn't show the crowd the finger. Disappoint.

 

[GabeT]

Yes!!

 

[TheAssassin]

 

[Tennisgods]

We don't know that and it doesn't matter. If you know you didn't win the point, you should give it to your opponent.

Yep. But it doesn’t happen in the real world. You know that.
Never mind, Djoko moves on.

 

[Red Rick]

Novak didn't show the crowd the finger. Disappoint.

Will do that after Final Federectomy

 

[Shangri La]

What a weird ending. Happy for Djoko's win, especially after the poor sportsmanship point. Justice served!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko roar again! Brilliant finish from Novak! Great reactions from Novak! That passion is back and burning inside him.

Great tennis match!

 

[abmk]

Djokovic wins with a love hold.

 

[NoleFam]

You ever heard the saying, "Don't poke the bear"? Well they may have awakened the bear and that's not good for anyone else. LOL. Disgusting crowd, dishonest opponent and pathetic umpire will do that to you. Djokovic is dialed in now.

 

[Raining hopes]

Cheat, repeat, but in the end you must bow to the king.

IDEMO Nole !Idemo!

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Yep. But it doesn’t happen in the real world. You know that.
Never mind, Djoko moves on.

I guess I'm still an idealist.

Lmao that whole exchange was funny "over the net, yes over the net!" I think Novak is more is general gracious but let's not pretend like most pros in tense situations, he has his moments

 

[Towser83]

Crazy last few minutes a few games ago. Why wasn't that point replayed when it bounced off Edmund's baseline? Second, in the next point, not only did the ball bounce twice before Edmund got to it, but Edmund missed the cross-court shot and also touched the net before the ball had bounced twice on the other side anyway, yet Edmund still won the point!

Absolutely horrible umpiring!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

No amor y paz breastfeeding to the crowd. Looks like he hasn't lost it completely.

 

[Tennisgods]

I guess I'm still an idealist.

You and everyone else here it seems. Don’t get me wrong, i’d like to see things done that way. They just aren’t, the stakes get too high in elite sport. So I needed to defend Edmund.

 

[3fees]

Congrats to Djokovic blnt Edmunds, Edmunds was a tough opponent.

Cheers

[JadeC]

Good on Novak, though. Kept his cool, stayed focus, and ended it in 4.

 

[GabeT]

Yeah, noticed that. Good for him. Crappy crowd

 

[TheAssassin]

Maybe Edmund has figured out a tennis hack. You allow the ball to bounce twice, then you hit it out while touching the net after that = you win the point.

 

[Towser83]

Yeah but he admitted to Murray and the umpire that he'd reached over the net, so if the umpire knew the rules he'd have lost the point

 

[maratha_warrior]

I am just happy that Djok didnt offer his boo-bs to the crowd in d end..

 

[Mr Feeny]

Good win for Novak. Hostile crowd and a disappointingly unsportsmanlike Edmund.

Wrapped up in 4 and he's off to the next round.

 

[joekapa]

How was the handshake between them ?

 

[Rago]

Get in, Novak, my man. On to the fourth round.

 

[NoleFam]

Bounced twice, the shot went out, he touched the net and he let go of his racket. He lost that point 4 times over yet still the umpire gave it to him. An absolute pathetic wanker sitting in that chair that has no idea what he is doing. Djokovic needs to pull a Nadal and request that this guy never umpires another of his matches for the rest of his career. In this case, it's warranted.

 

[duaneeo]

I'm actually glad Djokovic won!

 

[Tennisgods]

How was the handshake between them ?

No issue, because unlike almost everyone here Djokovic knows he’d have taken the point.

 

[Checkmate]

Wow! BLATANT CHEATING GOING IN FULL MODE like I have never seen before.

double bounce, shot so far wide, player touching the net, RACKET THROWN OFF HANDS

AND THE OFFICIAL, THE LINE JUDGE AND THE PLAYER HIMSELF turning DEAF, BLIND AND DUMB simultaneously.

Hilariously embarrassing.

 

[TheAssassin]

Gotta try harder next time, morons.

 

[RF-18]

Couldnt watch anymore after set 1 cause of work, but here you go:

 

[DjokoFan1987]

You forgot he also touched the net

yeah I just realized. holy cow that's really embarrassing (and thx)

And a pathetic wanker cheater Edmund for not conceding the point!!! What a disappointment - I started to like that guy over the last 6 months or so... Cheater!!

 

[Checkmate]

Not disappointing anymore.

He has a history of making snide remarks over Djokovic, especially in the period where he was at his all time low post Indian Wells/Miami 2018.

The ball wasn’t even close to the line and the line judge missed it. But I don’t get why touching the net wasn’t enough to automatically lose the point. Isn’t that how the rules work?

 

[skip1969]

How was the handshake between them ?

It was cordial.

 

[RF-18]

Gotta try harder next time, morons.

What a celebration!!!

IDEMO NOLE MAJSTORE!

 

[FreeBird]

Here for another week or so , sure why not ?

Oh lets do it then. Though leaving tomorrow and wont be back before Wednesday.

 

[BrokenGears]

**** YEAH HELL YEAH IDEMO VAMOS DJOKOVIC GOAT

 

[maratha_warrior]

Guys Is the English team still playing in Worldcup??
Now i know whom to support .

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It's coming home mate. Believe.

I agree. It’s coming home! 52 years of hurt, we waited to long

 

[skip1969]

Yeah, I can see not wanting to overrule the far sideline, especially if you are focused on the double bounce and the player rushing into the net . . .

But if you were focused on those things, then how could you miss either infraction?

Still, why did Novak not challenge? Unless he already thought the point was his and by the time he realized it wasn't, it was way too late.

 

[duaneeo]

It was cordial.

Novak is always cordial at the net.

 

[NoleFam]

The ball wasn’t even close to the line and the line judge missed it. But I don’t get why touching the net wasn’t enough to automatically lose the point. Isn’t that how the rules work?

Yea the rules say you cannot touch the net before your shot bounces twice and he clearly did. The shot was also well out so I couldn't understand what the hell he was doing. That's about as bad as an umpire awarding an extra point at Wimbledon 2004 to Sprem in a tiebreak with Venus when she hadn't earned the point. That guy is incompetent.

 

[joekapa]

What a celebration!!!

IDEMO NOLE MAJSTORE!

That is his greatest celebration yet. The beast within is out !

Go Nole.

Yes, they beat Sweden today. But don't take it out on them. They played well.
