2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - ATP GRAND SLAM

Popped out for a minute and Djoker loses the third set. Jeez, where did that come from.

So of course as I said, Krajinovic is no pushover and Coric is not playing well enough to hang at the moment. Luckily it's best of 5. Here's hoping he can clean it up and be part of the young contingent that has made it to the 4th round (Medvedev, Tiafoe).

I shut off the Djokovic v Shapo match just a touch too early. Missed the last half of the the third. What happened? I'm not entirely understanding it from what I've read.

That was so unnecessary.

Yeah, Djokovic was cruising, and basically having a laugh at Shapo's ineptitude. No idea what happened.

Ditto. Sounds like a self-inflicted wound from Djokovic.

Just tuned in expecting match to be over already!

We don't know, and we were watching.

Djokovic unlucky to lost that set, most likely wins the 4th set 6-3?

Djokovic breaks. Perhaps the mental health break will only be one set, and not 2 years, in this case.

Some fire from Novak. Good. Also happy to see that overall most of the imploding this match is being done by Shapovalov.

Yes it seems to have been a minor head injury for now. But we were here already a set ago.

Self-inflicted.

Potential bagel!

Self-inflicted.

That’s generally the case with head injuries.

4 games in a row now for Novak after losing 5 in a row.

Two MPs

Djokovic is mad at some heckler in the stands, and apparently it's not over. Not in English. Interesting.

 

[AnonymousFan]

DF on MP#3 for the bagel!

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Coric breaks. Let Krajinovic save two break points. But Krajinovic's forehand veered wide on the third.

Holds for 3-love.

These commentators are mildly annoying though. My stream being a Eurosport stream. They're acting like they're super surprised that Coric has not played well and Krajinovic took the first set. And I'm just liiiikkee.... you clearly don't watch Coric very often do you. If there's a way for him to lose to a lesser player, he'll find it. But also. Krajinovic was in a masters final at the end of 2017 (thanks to a Nadal walkover). He ain't no pushover. Even if his 2018 was pretty meh. I consider Coric the more talented player. But he's always had his (annoying) demons.

But they are right in that Coric mostly just needed to clean it up and he's mostly done that now and he's mostly cruising. Though not this game.

If Djokovic is this mentally fragile, he's vulnerable. As to Shapo, he needs a better coach. He is a man with no plan. Just a live arm, and the attitude of a skateboarder.

 

[Denis]

Entertaining match overall.
