Why do some people try to deflect their inability to respond by accusing others of having no sense of humor? As if humor were actually on offer. Cheap, really.
ok i thought you were messing around or trolling.... i used to be a regular on tt and there players' lockdown modes were discussed regularly... like Federer's lockdown mode, Djokovic's lockdown mode...

I guess you know in case of a software what lockdown mode means, the program blocks incoming connections, etc...

For a player it means impenetrable defence, closing all the angles, etc.....

Yes. He is playing like a veteran. He seems to play the right shot all the time.

So I'm watching Novak. I'm not seeing evidence of injury. Is it fair to say this is just rustiness?

This dude is no joke. Has all the shots and unbelievable defense. Holds for 5-4. One game away
Just wait until I come in for my bragging rights over @britbox . I was trying to champion the kid a couple of years ago when I saw him play at the USO, and the Baron was poo-pooing me.

While we are at it with the bragging rights, I was already on board when I saw him play Wawrinka at the 2015 USO.

But this match is not over yet.

Chung is playing some awesome and composed tennis. But it's hard to say that Djokovic is 100% of his best. Whatever that means at this stage.

Well, I was earlier saying that TB goes to the veteran. We shall see.
