2018 Wimbledon Men's QF: Djokovic - Nishikori

[Denis]

Novak leads 13-2 with that painful loss in the US Open semi back in 2014:

Who have you got?

 

[Denis]

Going with Novak in 3 as I was quite happy what I have been seeing lately and grass is not really Kei's specialty. Kei also seems to be suffering again from injuries.

Djokovic in 4 sets.

Novak in three. Only single digit total number of games for Special K. K has various injury issues. Even in today's match, he took an MTO. Further, even though he won the match against Gulbis, it was an extremely low quality match (with 10 consecutive points going against the server in a TB). K was also partly helped by Gulbis's leg injury in the fourth set.

Faker in 3 or 4 sets. He's making the final. The guys ROS is on another level.

Still can't believe Nishikori led the H2H after the first 3 matches.

Glassikori won't last more than 2 sets. It will be something like 6-3 6-2 3-0 RET.

Nole in 4 hopefully

Djoke in 4. Just like Fed losing to cough drop at that same USO Novak has learned his lesson. Probably won't lose to Nishi again.

I start to be optimistic again about Novak's game. I am hoping he will be back soon where he was 2 years ago before going on a long lasting ineptitude.

Novak getting grumpy. Got a code violation for bouncing his racquet when he didn't break earlier, now he's been broken himself. He has always gotten negative earlier than he needs to, IMO.

Congrats to Novak.

I was pretty much the only one watching it. I accidentally posted one of mine on the Fed thread, too. Not much point in posting when everyone was watching the other match. It was exciting for the first 2+ sets.

It was the first match. Europe was working the us sleeping. And then Fed was getting upset.

Even thoughI have not seen Novak play, I am happy that he is returning to be a contender again for big titles.
A year ago I had doubts, but now I am sure he is not done yet as far as winning slams. He will win again sooner rather than later.
