Novak having such an easy time against his opponent, he's going for the lines and not missing (5-0)

(They're talking about his working with Todd Martin and developing a hitch in his serve... wondering out loud if they had any video of it.) Please.... :nono

Outside of a few errant backhands, he looks pretty good. Maybe nadal losing put a spring in his step.

... now if Stan, Roger, and McToothy would just lose - he might have a chance! :snigger

Gonzalez has a very nice, consistent backhand.

Courier calling Djoker's overhead his worst shot; his powers of observation are shocking.

He has been able to trip up nole a couple time hitting it DTL.

You forgot about a big landmine called Cilic, who awaits around the corner.

^^^ Ivanisevic will be taunting Nole from the stands. It could be ugly. :snigger

Did you see Nole crash Dimitrov's presser?! Hysterical.

Si, si Fernando!!!!!!!!!!!!

A rare top 10 scalp by Nando:
7-6, 6-1 against Richie Gasquet
clap:clap

The way he struggled against Zeballos I thought he will be toasted today
Now VAMOS!

 

[herios]

Not impressed by Nole, very choppy return game

 

[Riotbeard]

Jeez Nole!

 

[Denis]

Not impressed by Nole, very choppy return game

To say the least. Gonzales serving for the set. Who is Gonzales? uzzled

I really hope this is all temporary and Novak will be back at RG.

 

[herios]

If Nole plays like this, he better go home and rest. This is very poor

Gonzalez is a clay courter from Columbia who managed to enter the top 100 purely on results on clay and mainly on the challenger tour. He has zippo experience on HC at this level. Losing to such a player a set is unacceptable for Nole. I am distressed.

It's all mental. He looks like he doesn't really care anymore. Been there, done that. Another tennisball, pfff again? He needs to challenge himself again.

Didn't even watch any of Djokovic's match (watching Dimitrov v Gulbis here). Is it Maximo Gonzalez he's playing? Only surname is listed on streams. Strange to lose a set to him and agree, not good

 

[nehmeth]

Novak was playing well in the first set, then TC pulled away to 'other things'. Came back to see Gonzales take the 2nd set. That's ridiculous.

 

[Front242]

So long as Novak doesn't lose two sets, who cares.

 

[ftan]

Hold on.. so what happened here.. last time i checked nole won first set 6-1, and tied 1-1 in second, he looked good..and he has lost the set .. Whattttttt

 

[Denis]

I've been between this feeling and seriously worried since the Wawrinka match. Something seems off, let's hope everything will be fine at the end of may.

Nole breaks.

Hi Denis!

3-0... seems Novak's taken his head out of his backside.
