I get your not a fan of Del Potro,though other people are,also are interested in his wellbeing after surgery.I am not a fan of many ATP players and also WTA players,if there is a post about them,I dont bother to look or reply.I suggest you do the same if you see a post on Del Potro.BTW I was also a big fan of Haas.

Well I guess you have nothing because I never said anything about NOT being a fan! I just think it's ridiculous to act as if DP's dying! :rolleyes:

Why are you posting this in the news section? You realize this thread is meant for actual news as in new and this happened years ago. As to what happened, it could be anything. Low blood sugar or a vitamin deficiency eg b12 causing dizziness, an ear infection causing imbalance, a virus (I had a virus less than a year ago and it made my balance wonky for 2 weeks). Loads of conditions can cause balance issues. He was hardly drunk.
Where did you read that? I posted that vid because I CAN'T believe that a player can play in those condition, it doesn't matter now or years ego!

Actually it even happened in this past RG...I posted at the time that Djokovic was doing that weird stumbly thing again. It happened over a long period of time in his 2-year loss of form. Even Courier said he had thought that Djokovic was drunk the first time he saw it. It's not old news, and it is very curious.

Or...maybe he was taking diuretics for that pesky weight problem that he has. That can cause loss of balance. I would have thought you'd know that, or found it in what was probably a google search as to the above.

Nothing in my post above was from a Google search.

She posted the one from years ago though in the news thread and it's hardly news when the case she was referring to was from a long time ago. Wrong thread basically.

But it is an occasional feature of him, and it still happens. It's odd enough to discuss, if she wants to, and I'm not sure where else you think it fits. Certainly not on the Djokovic fan thread. I suppose she could have started it its own thread.

I’m glad she posted that clip of Djoke. I’ve seen him do that before, but this particular match with its slo mo shows the severity of his symptom. I have a medical background, and am really curious what’s causing him to stumble around like that.

I think this was an early example, but he's definitely done it since, and I think as recently as RG this year. It's very odd. Especially as he's such a superb athlete. Generally you'd say his balance was a strength.

While their fans always are fighting look how much fun Rafa, Roger, Fog and Thiem had in a restaurant in London

And it was mentioned also that sometimes before matches, instead of resting he plays videogames. Good strategy, what can I say.

Actually, I thought that was 80% of the tour.
