Internazionali BNL d'Italia- Rome ATP1000 - 14th May to 21st May

[the AntiPusher]

Djoker warned for obscenities. Sascha holds.

This is the same novak that lost to Rafa in Madrid

 

[DarthFed]

Djoker letting out some epic outbursts even after being warned

 

[DarthFed]

Good news for Sascha so far is that the nerves are coming during return games

 

[the AntiPusher]

Impressive hold here from Zverev after not breaking. Djoker still looks very out of wack, like I said yesterday, one great match and even one great tourney isn't a sign that he's back.

you were correct

Swearing in English just seems willfully self-destructive. He could have done it in Serbian and not have gotten the code violation.

What's was his English swear words.

 

[DarthFed]

Never seen Novak's cc bh this bad..

Never seen his whole game this bad as it's been this year. He looks awful off both wings.

People keep saying it's pre-2011 Novak but they're wrong, it's pre-2007 Nole when he was 19 and trying to rise the ranks.

MP for Sascha after the double fault.

 

[britbox]

YAY!!! Sascha wins it!

 

[Moxie]

So happy for Zverev, but stunning from Djoker.

 

[britbox]

Great to see man. I've been tracking this youngster before he hit the Top 100. 20 years old...wins a Masters and will be in the Top 10 come Monday.

 

[Moxie]

#10 in the world now, just a few weeks after his 20th birthday.

 

[Front242]

Excellent play by Zverev who joins the top 10 tomorrow. Very impressive win. Not so much for Djokovic.

 

[Moxie]

@DarthFed You've been telling me for some time now that it wouldn't come back that fast for Novak, so I was inclined to be cautious after the performance yesterday v. Thiem. Your theory bears out so far. One day on, one day off for Nole, and he was very off today.

Darth always right except when it comes to Nadal

 

[DarthFed]

Impressive performance for Zverev, he hadn't reached an MS semi before this and he ends up blowing out Novak in the final. That's as steady as I've seen him play, part of what drove Nole AWOL today.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Annacone just said Novak's problems has nothing to do with Tennis

 

[DarthFed]

Didn't realize he was already that close to top 10. Awesome, and he probably doesn't have much to defend the rest of the year. He made the final of Halle and not sure what else last year.

I like Annacone, but a fortune teller he is not. Everyone can see his problem is not physical.

 

[Moxie]

Annacone just said Novak's problems has nothing to do with Tennis

He says that he proved yesterday that it isn't his tennis that's the issue. Obviously, based on today, his head has a lot to do with it. He was melting down at certain points.

 

[Front242]

Novak gracious in defeat as always.

I didn't think he was back to his normal level either. He won Doha earlier and everyone thought the same thing and then fast forward 5 months. He's worse then he was in Doha.
