Worst aspect of your favorite player

[TripleATeam]

I've always thought that overheads were Djokovic's worst suit, and plenty of others also believe so. Given his last match in Doha, I wondered on the next worst thing he had, and some glaring flaws in other top 20 players.

For me, it's still Djokovic's inability to make an overhead smash right at the net. He has the point within his grasp, then loses it. It's so infuriating.

(Personally, I'm interested to see if the Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer fanatics can badmouth even a single aspect of their favorite player's game)

 

[jaggy]

Murray's 2nd serve jumps out but it's more his head that lets him down.

 

[metsman]

Fedr-stubbornness aka arrogance

 

[Chadillac]

Fed, stubborn in his strat. Just had to try to out hit nadals forehand with his backhand, just had to try the same failed return 17 times in a row on the ad side vs djok at the us open.

I think he is a chameleon sometimes with his strat.

 

[merwy]

The combination of condescending arrogance with occasional mental weakness is very annoying. Alway acting like you're tough **** but when the going gets tough you're to first one to break (or not iykwim).
And yeah I know that I'm exaggerating

 

[KINGROGER]

Fed's stubbornness and inability to use the right strategy vs Nadal on clay and his refusal to go FH to FH... thinking he can copy Nadal's strategy.

He actually went toe to toe in 06 but couldn't nail all those BPs in the 3rd set and really should've won or gone to 5 sets.

His strategy in Rome 06 was perfect too but that one could've gone either way and he was ul. Same story sort of with RG 2011 his strategy was excellent and he outplayed Nadal for 2 sets despite losing both, the first being unbelievably unlucky after a timely MTO at 5-2 from Nadal.

I don't like it when Djokovic distracts his opponents by asking for crowd support when his opponent is winning. I also don't like when he bounces ball so many times when he is down BP. Also when he yells at little ball kids I feel ashamed.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

One thing that I really hate about Djokovic is how he shakes hands with the chair umpire after he WINS the match.

He barely touches their hand and doesnt make eye contact with them. Go and watch when he wins a match vs when he loses. When he loses, he looks at the umpire and gives a nice firm handshake. When he wins, its a limp handshake to the umpire and he looks at the crowd or at his box.

Nadal, Federer and Murray always give a respectful handshake to the umpire...win or lose.

Love Djokovic, but I want to see him work on this bad habit.

 

[SinjinCooper]

Del Potro: wrist.

 

[NEW_BORN]

Federer - Not living up to expectations

2011 USO SF comes to mind. Double MP down and he takes about a minute excessively towelling off, to the crowd. Just disgraceful tactics just because you got outplayed by a better player. Then a lucky whack at the ball later and the rest is history.

 

[Jackuar]

Fed - break point conversion ratio - no hope it will ever improve in the days to come; unforced errors - seriously, for the sake of all those 17GS, he has to cut down on UEs.

You obviously don't remember the 2012 WTF final.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic's tanking and lack of effort. HA.

 

[Stretchy Man]

Yaroslava Shvedova has a tattoo on the back of her neck.

 

[Deleted member 735320]

Stan Wawrinka inconsistency, either he's on fire or he's on ice.

Who are you talking about?

Novak?

 

[Matthew Lee]

Sharapova's doping.

She's not my favorite player, not close, but it's a bad aspect

 

[ABCD]

You are little bit confused. The question is about your favourite player, not the player you pathologically hate.

 

[Bender]

I don't think I need to mention any of Nadal's worst aspects, since the Federer fans keep a daily updated list, including such things as being injured, saying such things as 'he was a little better', and hitting topspin.

But seriously, they are covered enough anyway. Slow, deliberate play and unnecessarily defensive playing being my two top least favourite things about Nadal.

 

[Bender]

On TTW, they are the same thing.

 

[OhYes]

After dwelling on TTW I find myself being nervous when Novak has a smash opportunity, but after having couple of them I soon realize how TTW tends to inflate many things about top players, so I continue to watch his match with serenity.
Novak's body language and gestures when he is losing is thing I would like him to change. Then again, it's a bit foolish to expect from extrovert to act cool and uninterested in those situations.

 

[junior74]

He retired to soon, and the comeback was (Borg).

Same with my favorite - Henin. Retired too soon and came back too soon, too. Should have treated her injuries more carefully before coming back. I blame her for Serena's domination in the last 5 - 6 years.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

his recent visit to some money laundering facilities...

 

[OhYes]

his recent visit to some money laundering facilities...

?

 

[projectone7]

Thiem- His all-out playing style's gonna hit him somehow soon. Love the kid, but he needs to be more conservative in order to really control and dictate play.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Sureshs is a little too smooth to be true. Sometimes I think his YouTube videos are CGI.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

his recent visit to some money laundering facilities...

Did he eat a pizza on top of his money pile and it got stained with tomato sauce?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Djokovic's occasional indecisiveness about approaching the net. When moving his opponent from side to side, sometimes he takes a step forward but then gives up on going further. It's a bit annoying to see that, though he hasn't lost the point often.

His and Nadal's medical time-outs are totally blown out of proportion. Their haters are making it sound like those two are casting evil spells on their opponents during those treatments.

I think it's his footspeed and takeback. It's like he lives in 60fps.

Could be spray, no?

fps - do you mean farts per second?

 

[Algo]

I'm in between favourite players so currently have no idea.

Might be worth checking if they are Death Eaters. They could be casting the Imperius Curse on their opponents and making them play badly after an injury timeout.

 

[FuzzyYellowBalls41]

Federer - break point conversions

 

[Krish872007]

Worst aspect: the fact that he consistently clowns away winnable matches and wastes his talent.

 

[tennisaddict]

The way Berdych bends himself when he faces certain opponents and the tweets thereafter make me cringe.

Raonic being world No 3 is laughable though as an ardent fan I am very happy about it.

 

[TheMaestro1990]

Brilliant

Is someone in love with Bellatrix?

 

[DreddyTennis45]

Dustin Brown- comes to the net unnecessarily on some big points. Needs to be patient.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

As JD would say, "Sureshs gently released some pheromone curry spray over the tender pile of unsuspecting mutual fund owners".

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Sureshs in 60 farts per second and in 3D would definitely stress a lot of bandwidths.

Another fan of Sureshs, I see...

 

[Krish872007]

Is someone in love with Bellatrix?

"Yes."
"Even now? After all this time?"
"Always."

 

[Checkmate]

Federer - Patience, Mental Weakness , BH.

Djokovic - Overhead and passiveness against Wawrinka.

Nadal - No confidence when defeat knocks on his door, Loopy cross court FH leading to nowhere.

Murray - Lack of bite in both wings. 2nd serve. His defensive approach.

 

[projectone7]

Sureshs in 60 farts per second and in 3D would definitely stress a lot of bandwidths.

I don't even know if my laptop can handle all that. Sureshs would upload it 4K too. It would probably burn through my screen with his blistering forehand and Nadal-esque defense and footwork.

 

[rectoralex]

John Isner's return game. He can't help it that much with his height, but oh well.

 

[JoelSandwich]

Djokovic- any unsportsmanlike conduct
Federer- Patience and Mental Weakness
Nadal- saying we need more clay tournaments

 

[Russeljones]

Federer is just too good. He made very good players look mediocre. That's a big stain.
