Meh as long as Nadal isn't winning grand slams I can live with Djoker. Dude is a funny guy off the court and crazy good player on it.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:30 PM ^
You don't like Rafa?! Gosh all three of those guys have made my love for this sport grow exponentially. Djoker was annoying at first but he's just incredible and has matured both on and off the court in the last 5 years that totally transformed my view of him. Rafa has always been gracious and Federer is Federer. Only really top player I cannot get behind is probably Andy Murray. Not sure why but he just doesn't excite me as a player or person and seems very overrated.

Can't stand Rafa's grunting. Drives me insane. Leave that shit in the women's game.

He hardly grunts that loud. Every once in a while when I'm running a ball down or expending a lot of energy on a shot I may let out a little grunt or yell too, no biggy. Azaranka and Sharapova, on the other hand, make their matches completely unwatchable due to their ridiculus (and unapologetic) shrieks.

This crowd is gonna peace out during the victory celebration after Fed is done speaking LOL.
They give 0 fucks about Djoker.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:38 PM ^
I think they just wanna see more grand slam tennis! Who wouldn't want this to go to 5 sets?
September 13th, 2015 at 10:33 PM ^
What is Djokovic chewing on?
September 13th, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
September 13th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
This is a pro 5th set crowd.

Wow Rodg...
September 13th, 2015 at 10:40 PM ^
September 13th, 2015 at 10:41 PM ^
Totally threw that away. Such a crappy way to go out. Great for Djoker to hang in there...that's golden #10!
September 13th, 2015 at 10:41 PM ^
I don't think Fed is gonna be able to recover from this one...
4 for what... 30 break points?
This one is gonna haunt him.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:42 PM ^
September 13th, 2015 at 10:43 PM ^
Get the fuck in Djoker! Fuck the NYC crowd, despicably cheering service faults and errors.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:44 PM ^
Deal with it bahahaha NYC baby. No fucks given.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:55 PM ^
I've only seen four of your comments and I already tell we're not going to be friends. This is exactly why I left the east coast.
September 13th, 2015 at 10:57 PM ^
My feelings are irreversibly damaged.
You have about 30 other comments in this thread to shadow neg. Keep going champ.
September 14th, 2015 at 12:28 PM ^
Any respectable tennis fan would never cheer a missed serve, especially a missed first serve. Simply a lack of class on those particular fans part.

Djoker is gonna steamroll people...
Wouldn't be surprised if he goes Calendar Slam next year. Nadal fell off the face of the planet (funny how it happened after Tennis upped their drug testing protocals)
Federer might make another Final again, but unless Djoker gets knocked out, he won't see 18.

You might want to check your tennis history. When Nadal won his first major, Federer had only won 4. Starting with Nadal's first win at the French Open in 2005 through the 2010 season, Nadal and Federer won 21 of 23 majors.

Federer is in his own head. He can beat Djokovic. Hell, he just did a few weeks ago in Cincinnati. He is a total headcase against Djoker in the majors, though. He was in control of this match and should have won handily.
He pressured Djoker's serve the whole match, just couldn't capitalize. A tough, tough loss for Roger. He should feel good that he generally controlled the match against Djoker (Roger won the same number of overall points, despite pissing away opportunity after opportunity), but he should feel like shit that he completely shrunk from the moment time after time after time when it mattered.
September 13th, 2015 at 11:13 PM ^
something like 4 out of 23 possible break points. It's like you said, the opportunities were there, he just didn't capitalize.
September 14th, 2015 at 9:09 AM ^
I was pulling for Federer. It was out there - Djokovic wasn't at the top of his game - but he just couldn't capitalize.

Much like golf or baseball, there are MANY unspoken or hidden "rules", one of which is that you don't run around side to side or back or forwards during a service motion. Some guys might get salty about Fed's new move, but likely only if they lose. IMHO, said unspoken rule is stupid.
