2012 Australian Open: Part 2

[Chris_2593]

What do you mean by his old ways???

The fake injuries.....Constant grabbing of the leg, head down to the court. He was fine the only thing wrong with him was he was being made to work hard to win points. See how he is fine in this third set?

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Novak's "injury/being wondued" is him having troubles with his breathing. Too many long ralles for him. Why the hell would you grab your leg?

 

[matt_897]

LOL, TIRO, you summed it up perfectly

Post of the year.

 

[Drummond]

And what a super 'drama queen' he is.

Thanks for coming.

Post of the year Drummond.

 

[matt_897]

Drummond, that has nothing to do with Djokovic being a drama queen... (ie. can I post a picture of Sam with her US Open trophy again?)

The bookies should have a market for the semi on which one of he and Murray starts grabbing at their leg,back,.ankle first.

 

[red+black]

You'd be very unhappy if you had money on Ferrer. He should have won a set tonight.

 

[Drummond]

Go for it matt.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

NEVER in doubt

 

[XFactor1979]

a tight fought contest

but the score reads "Straight sets victory"

 

[Chris_2593]

Im not disagreeing with you Drummond. I agree he wasnt 100% tonight. But you have to agree he did go way overboard with it. There was nothing wrong with his leg. He grabbed his leg when he had trouble breathing. You cant argue that he doesnt go overboard.

 

[Drummond]

roostersgal4eva= gun.

Tonight, me= spud.

(Yes you're all gonna be clever and say me= always= spud)

But to that I say...

 

[red+black]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Jarka is the last 'Aussie' left in the tournament.

He went way overboard with it and didnt even call the trainer

 

[Drummond]

How can anyone not like this guy?

 

[roostersgal4eva]

LMAO! How can you not love Nole

 

[pepsi]

Clearly Djokovic was not 100% tonight. I mean he defeated his opponent in straight sets, someone who he has lost to 5 times in 11 matches.

Love watching Djokovic play tennis by the way. He is an absolute gun and the best player in the world of the last 15 months. Just the way he acts sometimes with his apparent "injuries" annoy me.

 

[Chris_2593]

Would you call the trainer if you didnt have an injury and you were winning? Would just halt all momentum.

 

[Caesar]

LOL.



Djokovic isn't 100%, nowhere near it. Anyone can see that, deny it and you’re clearly a hater.



Even against Hewitt he looked sluggish, his movement around the court didn’t have the same explosiveness. He’s moving well without doubt, but he doesn’t have the same spring. Grab a copy of any match he played last year and you will see the difference. Even up 4-2 in the first set his body language wasn’t great, and that’s when you know something is up. Shoulders slumping, head down, even despite the fact he was on top. He's looking fatigued after every point, and sure that's in part because of the physicality of the rallies, but more because of his breathing difficulties.

It's called 'form'.

I like 90% of your posting, but you always turn into a complete clown as soon as we get to the pointy end of a slam.

And you're not the only one. As soon as we get to the QFs, half the posters in here mutate from polite and knowledgable tennis watchers into raging fantards for one or another of the top 4. It's bizarre.

I think he would have called a trainer if he lost the breaker, especially if he subsequently got broken in the 3rd set. But while he was on top and winning, he was always going to push through.

 

[XFactor1979]

Theres one guy who's gunna f up nadal and or federer, it is the joker

Nadal has NOTHING against him

No doubt he would have. Thats what i was trying to explain to hurleythefuture.
