Hi pavlik, thanks for the video, but this match was in the other event, in Tokyo

 

[herios]

Fabio defeated Cuevas so the Nadal - Fognini SF will take place.

If the Fog beats Nadal again it' ll be a real disgrace for the Spanish bull, hope he can prevail this time

 

[herios]

Novak wins the first set against Isner 6-2.

 

[Carol]

Nadal has gone through many "disgraces" already and not just vs Fognini but also vs worse players. If he plays well then he will give Fog the chance to make one of his shows......

 

[herios]

Windy conditions in Beijing today.

Djokovic - Isner 6-2, 6-2
:clap

Seriously, I haven't seen the match but looking the result or Novak has played incredible well or Isner incredible bad?

Yeah, I read on tennis.com Isner only served 3 aces. That's gotta really p1$$ him off! Must've been unreal returning by Novak alright. And of course the windy conditions.

Oh, I understand now that result :cover

Isner without the serve is lucky to win 2 games per set as that result demonstrates. Must watch some highlights later.

Just watched pavlik's highlights and no wonder Novak was returning Isner's serve easily. That's a pretty damn slow court.

 

[Carol]

I was watching the highlights and like I always have thought and seen before, Isner without the serve is like an octopus in a garage, lack of a good movement and making many errors trying to survive :cover

poor old octopus..get the misplaced mollusc to some water.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Isner's low # of aces had something to do with the fact that he was facing the best returner in the game in Djokovic.
