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

[Krish0608]

Sorry to say, this Djokovic will be slaughtered by Fedal. He has to significantly raise his level to survive today.

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

I don't see Djoker winning this set. He is playing Edmund, not some challenger level mug like De Minaur.

yeah hes spazzing out

 

[sbengte]

Edmund is just not missing anything FFS

 

[Smurph]

Kyle often suffers from nerves. Hope he can keep it together

 

[cc0509]

You don't say? I don't know what some people have been watching.

 

[NatF]

Djokovic needs to start hitting a bigger ball into the Edmund forehand otherwise he should just go home at this rate.

Djokovic throwing his hands in the air like the world is against him...just play better man.

 

[Russeljones]

I don't buy that Djokovic underestimated Edmund. The guy is in scintillating form.

 

[albertobra]

This thing of Djoko complaining 'bad luck' if opponent gets ball on the line is something he should change. Really childish behavior.

 

[FHtennisman]

CMON EDMUND

 

[sbengte]

There goes the set. He needs to regroup and start afresh.

 

[cc0509]

Yes! That's the set. Can Edmund keep it up? I don't know.

 

[La Grande]

First blood Edmund.

 

[FHtennisman]

Just need another solid hour of play

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Kyle to Novak:

 

[True Fanerer]

Edmund showing some guts down in that game.

 

[Terenigma]

Edmund takes the first set and Djokovic is looking seriously riled up.

 

[abmk]

Djoko misses the FH
2 unreturnables from Edmund to seal the set !

 

[jga111]

People underestimating Edmund? Have they not been watching?! Lol

 

[K-H]

Anyone expecting a close contest is greatly overestimating Edmund and underestimating Djokovic on grass. If by some miracle this is a close match then Edmund needs to be zoning with his FH and Djokovic needs to be broken. There is no way Djokovic should be losing this match imo.

You were saying...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Yes! That's the set. Can Edmund keep it up? I don't know.

I don’t see it but who knows. Novak’s probably angry right now. Edmund needs to try and take a 2-0 set lead.

 

[Smurph]

the first set means more to Kyle than Djoker I believe.

 

[RF-18]

Yes! That's the set. Can Edmund keep it up? I don't know.

Keep up with hitting the ball millimeter on the line? Guy has been lucky.

Djokovic will set this straight now. No reason to panic

 

[Towser83]

That serve at 30 all looked put and they confirmed it was. Can't believe Noel didn't challenge

 

[Meles]

Why no challenge?

 

[abmk]

Only 43% first serves in for Edmund , but Novak still couldn't break.

 

[zagor]

Dreadful set from Novak, has nothing on his shots and started grunting already.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Novaks mental strength is poor these days. Too much is frustrating him. He needs to focus on his game.

 

[Mainad]

Right so far. Predicted Kyle would sneak a set.

Concerned by his lack of 1st serves though. That will come back to haunt him if he wants a chance to win this match.

 

[sbengte]

People underestimating Edmund? Have they not been watching?! Lol

The fact that he was placed in Djoko's quarter along with Kyrgios itself says a lot about him.

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Edmund's first serve percentage was 44 in the first set, and Djokovic still couldn't break him. His return has gone.

 

[Omega_7000]

Don't even put DeMinaur and Edmund in the same league.....Edmund makes Deminaur look like a joke.

 

[sbengte]

That serve at 30 all looked put and they confirmed it was. Can't believe Noel didn't challenge

Did he have challenges left ?

 

[BrokenGears]

I watched that entire set and all I can say is that I’m pretty done with Novak

Zero pace on any of his shots and he’s getting out hit.

This is really disheartening and I can’t bear to watch him lose like this to players he should be beating.

I didn’t see him getting past Nick, but this is terrible.

So ye, I won’t be watching the rest of this match. Props to Edmund. Hope Nole can find himself somewhere, cause he ain’t finding it right now

 

[NatF]

Right so far. Predicted Kyle would sneak a set.

Concerned by his lack of 1st serves though. That will come back to haunt him if he wants a chance to win this match.

Nah man, Djokovic is doing his usual routine of playing garbage against British players on CC

Edmund has this.

 

[sbengte]

Edmund takes the first set and Djokovic is looking seriously riled up.

I think he is kicking himself for all the BP chances he missed in the first set.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Just deposited 10 bucks and already lost my bet on Nole 3-0. Why did I do that.

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Nah man, Djokovic is doing his usual routine of playing garbage against British players on CC

Noooo, it was Murray who made him play bad, you hater!!!!

 

[joekapa]

What's happening ? Just got in......Djokovic about to exit?

 

[sbengte]

Finally a good return point from Djoko..

 

[cc0509]

I don’t see it but who knows. Novak’s probably angry right now. Edmund needs to try and take a 2-0 set lead.

If there was ever a time where Edmund could take advantage of Djokovic, it's this underripe Djokovic who is lacking confidence. The only way you can regain prime confidence is to win a lot of matches.

But Djokovic is great at going the distance in five setters(or he used to be) so we'll see how it goes.

 

[BrokenGears]

Djokovic needs to look at himself in the mirror because the person he sees in the mirror isn’t him. Just a shadow of what he used to be.

Man this is depressing

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I'd NEVER let my Tennis Elbow opponent get away with a low first serve percentage.

 

[sbengte]

Everytime Edmund goes DTL, Djoker has no answers.

 

[BrokenGears]

What's happening ? Just got in......Djokovic about to exit?

Don’t watch dude. It’s just depressing

 

[tenisdecente]

Djokovic is not playing that bad. He needs to up his game a bit to gain momentum

 

[zagor]

What's happening ? Just got in......Djokovic about to exit?

Novak ROS is very off and Edmund is more than holding his own in the rallies.

 

[sbengte]

Edmund is reminding me too much of Brad Pitt and I cannot stand Brad Pitt.

 

[cc0509]

Djokovic needs to look at himself in the mirror because the person he sees in the mirror isn’t him. Just a shadow of what he used to be.

Man this is depressing

Yeah, I'm sure he's really upset when he looks at his bank balance!

 

[zagor]

BP for Novak.

 

[sbengte]

Djokovic's BP non-conversion today is putting Fed to shame
