Would Djokovic have definitely won the USO last year if he wasn't disqualified?

[Jokervich]

I know the USO was a long time ago now lol. But do you think he would have definitely won that slam if he wasn't disqualified? He was already struggling against Carreno Busta in the first set of that match, I wonder if Djokovic would have won that and then won all remaining matches.

 

[PilotPete]

No.

 

[LoveTheGreatOne]

No

 

[Jokervich]

No.

No

I see. Care to elaborate why?

 

[NatF]

Considering the insipid level of play and choking in the final, yes probably lol.

 

[PilotPete]

I see. Care to elaborate why?

Because nothing about a tennis tournament is definite.

 

[LoveTheGreatOne]

I see. Care to elaborate why?

He was already struggling vs PCB. Took him 4 gruesome sets to beat the Spaniard on his weakest surface (clay). On HC, Pcb is better than he's at clay. I already felt that an upset was on the cards.

 

[Third Serve]

Yeah, he likely would. That final was terrible.

 

[zagor]

You saw that hilarious final, yes? There's your answer.

 

[Jokervich]

Because nothing about a tennis tournament is definite.

Ok. Who do you think would have had a good chance of beating him?

 

[Slowtwitcher]

No.

Yeah that did look like a tough 4 set or 5 set match. But assuming he got through that, who else do you think could have beaten him in that tournament?

 

[swordtennis]

NO.
Fed is HPOTHETICAL GOAT.

 

[zagor]

Choking Karen.

Zverev in the semi (not kidding at all)

 

[toby55555]

No but you wouldn’t have got good odds on him.

 

[Slowtwitcher]

PCB was gonna beat him.

of coarse.
didn't you know that after the official ceremony, officials took Zverev trophy and handed it to Thiem, and they took the cup from Thiem and handed it to Nole.
now it belongs to its true master.
justice was restored.

 

[blablavla]

Because nothing about a tennis tournament is definite.

you don't understand real tennis.
Nole fans awarded him the #18 several times already before it happened.

P.S.
Nole already has as well the DCGS

 

[StrongRule]

Busta was destroying him even before that, so who knows.

 

[guga_fan]

I actually thought Djokovic was playing well at that US Open, his serve was very good and his attacking forehand too. My impression from his match with PCB was that he was expecting an easy and quick match and got frustrated after not breaking from 0-40, but it is very hard to imagine him losing two other sets to the Spaniard even if he could not break at 6-5.

Thiem would be very hard to beat though, he would probably play a much better final if he was the underdog.

 

[GabeT]

Of course

Hypothetical tennis is all we do here

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Probably, but the more I think about it, the more I’m relieved he didn’t. That tournament was a joke.

 

[Backspin1183]

I don't think so. PCB was winning that match anyway.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Hypothetical BOATov1c is unbeatable.

 

[ADuck]

Thiem wouldn't be choking as much against Djokovic, but he'd probably end up losing in the end. But to answer your question, no it wasn't definite.

 

[Red Rick]

Give it >50%, but Djokovic didn't seem in a great mood that tournament tbh.

 

[LoveTheGreatOne]

I don't think so. PCB was winning that match anyway.

Oh

 

[clayqueen]

He No Non Nein

 

[PilotPete]

Thiem almost beat him at AO, so why not USO, we know Djokovic notoriously fails at the USO against 'weaker' opponents.

 

[TheAssassin]

Maybe. Second week was underwhelming from most players, but we'll never know how Djokovic would have responded to it. He's been hot and cold at the US Open over the years. What we do know is how clueless people are saying that Busta was dominating him when Novak wasted many opportunities to take the set earlier while PCB converted his very first chance. No big signs pointed towards a full match upset.

 

[RaulRamirez]

We'll never know.

It's not PCB's fault, but Novak would have probably taken him in 5, if not 4. And then, he'd have to run thru Shapo, Zverev and Thiem. I think he'd have make the final, but not sure he would've gotten ny Thiem.

Anyway, water under the proverbial bridge.

 

[BrokenGears]

Hypothetical BOATov1c is unbeatable.

There isn't enough Nole fans to have people even take such a statement seriously

 

[The Blond Blur]

Our lord and savior PCB would have finished what he started

Djokovic thought PCB was dominating him hence the tantrum that nearly took the line judge out.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

How can we know? Lol.
But yes, probably.

 

[TheAssassin]

Djokovic thought PCB was dominating him hence the tantrum that nearly took the line judge out.

Everyone knows he had tantrums over small concerns before, even in some matches when he was leading. But hey you know what Djokovic was thinking at the time. I can't argue against that.

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Very, very, very likely.

 

[Checkmate]

Pretty Easily.

Medvedev type situation at TTW after the final.

 

[Sport]

Of course

Then we should induct the US Open 2020 into the moral winner section of the Djokovic museum.

 

[a10best]

for the love of you know who..... if he was not disqualified?
IF he played so and so. If he played an in-form Wawrinka...it never ends here with all the speculation.
IF Roger beat hims serving at 40-15 match points in those 2 slams would Djokovic still have 18 slams, maybe just 16, maybe just 12 or 10.
Stop the nonsense.

 

[Born_to_slice]

I don't want to think about it.

 

[gn]

He might not have won but definitely he would not have lost.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

It's in the bag.

 

[Sysyphus]

Short memories

He was well pn his way to losing to PCB and bailed out

 

[mike danny]

I think he would have won, yes. Shapo couldn't even beat PCB. Zverev barely eeked past this same PCB and Thiem played a lousy final. Don't think he plays a better one just because it would be Djokovic on the other side of the net. It's Timmy in a big final we're talking about.

 

[GabeT]

Let’s add Wimby 2020

 

[canta_Brian]

He was 100% going to win that. But also, had Wimbledon been played, I was 100% going to win that on a charity wildcard.

 

[GabeT]

Dominating? Lol. Oh TTW you ever disappoint
