also like 4 UEs by JMDP, but this is certainly not over yet

I wouldnt say he donated the set - Nole had been pursuing every ball and earned the errors...

That's a shame. Delpo misses the easy overhead and then has a few loose points and that's that.


Injury or no, this is the best Wimbledon I've seen from JMDP so far in his career. He's really learning how to play on grass and that's very promising for the outlook of his career.

Its more like Djokovic is hanging in there but still managing to lead 2 sets to 1.

He donated the last game which turns out to be the set

Djoker kept the pressure up and del Potro had to go for even more. Plus, Novak served very well in the breaker. It's been an excellent match so far, and I hope del Potro can rise to the challenge in the fourth...

Fourth set will be interesting. I have a feeling Novak is going to run away with it quickly.

yeah maybe, but it has been too tight for that really, depends on how DP handles that breaker

I think this is the first set JMDP serves first, right? That could help him psychologically.
