@Nadal goat2 Don't waste your time with Federer (and Djokovic) fans. Recently they even said that Federer had a higher peak than Nadal on clay. :cuckoo: For them Federer is so perfect he's the best at everything. Of course you are right that Thiem has a better game style than Federer, they are just in denial. What will they argue next, that Federer has a better looking butt than Thiem?

yea your right it is a waste of time trying to talk these Federer and Djokovic fans who are living in [dream land]

SP for Opelka on Millman’s serve

 

[AnonymousFan]

2nd set Tiebreak time!

And Millman has made his first 500 final!

Good win for Millman.

 

[Andy22]

D.goffin most of the time gets smashed by the big 3, so Djokovic should get a easy win.

I thought you are smarter than to come up with such a post.

oh no !!

oh no !!

I picked him to win in my draw. All contingent on the shoulder, and it seems to be fine. In which case, who else was going to win?

IMO Djokovic shoving or pushing air to the crowd or whatever has to be the cringiest ongoing post-victory routine on the ATP right now

I like his game but can’t stand that schtick LOL

He did it after Soeda and Goffin matches, I’m guessing he does it everywhere not just slams

Djokovic looks all fired up in Japan. He is actually one of the freshest guys around in top 10 to push through the remaining of the season. It doesn't seem he has any health issues anymore.

He does it everywhere unfortunately.

I have not watched a single match of Tokyo. Can anyone tell me as to what is the current status of Novak's shoulders based on what you saw? Don't tell me based on results without actually watching. Novak is capable of winning against this field even with a bad shoulder.

He was cracking the ball on serve & groundies! He looked fine so maybe he's over the shoulder injury! Just as well he skipped Beijing! B-)

Millman went through qualifying to get to the final ... I glossed over that

Today is his 7th match of the tourney

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I would normally barrack for Novak,but seeing an Aussie John Millman has made the final from qualifying I have to say Oi,Oi,Oi, John.

Great lunging volley from Novak to break and consolidates the break with a love service game he leads 4-1
