Here's my question: the commies keep saying that Djokovic's camp tells him, when in doubt, go into "lock-down mode." Can someone tell what that might be, other than just playing better?
No idea, also listening to different commentator.

Funny because you don't like tattoos, or the sentiment?
i don't like tattoos too much but i meant the sentiment...

i guess go into wall mode and play safe?

or maybe it's something mental? like some zen stuff from his guru? Does he still have him ? :p

Chung takes the first set. Kudos to him for stepping it up in the tb after being up 4-0 earlier in the set.

Not that Djokovic needs any more motivation...but if Sandgren wins Nole will go through Chung like hot knife through butter, then breeze past Sandgren into the semis. He'll be fresh as a daisy while Roger has to deal with Berdych...again...

either the butter is hard or the knife is cold no?

Chung takes the first over Novak and Thiem forces a fifth v. Sandgren, almost simultaneously.

I thought the sentiment suits Stan. As to the other, clearly you don't understand "lock down mode" either.

Chung hits the ball with a lot of pace. He looks very confident. but he is also being helped by Novak's problem with his elbow.

hope it's not the elbow for real, then this tourney is surely fucked for him :S

Novak is in serious trouble. Chung is not a choker. I am worried.

This could be ugly for Djokovic if he does not change things. He gets broken in the second set.

I was asking for enlightenment, too. Apparently, it's a lot of hooey. Where is the "lock-down mode" now?

Yikes...it seems like Novak was hurt on that last point.
