US Open 2019, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

[Moxie]

This is not good tennis. Too physical, with long rallies.

What about that makes it "bad tennis?"

That pass was a given.

It looks like Djokovic's left arm/hand is bothering him a little bit

 

[Moxie]

Djokovic shaking the shoulder. But Londero just lost his advantage. Djokovic called the trainer, but I think he can still beat Londero with a bum arm.

 

[herios]

Didn't Novak just hit a one-handed BH?

Haven't seen it, but his shoulder seems to be the problem.
If the nerve is the issue, no wonder it could hurt all over: elbow, shoulder even wrist too.

The rallies are too long. That could be the reason why some top tennis players get injured often.

 

[atttomole]

In that case they can as well hand the title to Nadal.

Did you just wake up to 21st C. tennis? Why is this new?

*sigh*

I thought Novak's problem in Cincy was his right elbow. Now it's the left shoulder.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well at least it is not Novak's right shoulder.

He hit one on Monday, after a point was called out, down the line and it was awesome ! I actually started to like the guy after that.

LOL.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Did Novak take some pain relief for his shoulder when the trainer came out the first time?

Well at least it is not Novak's right shoulder.

No matter what, it is bad news.

I didn't see him take a pill, but a lot of cream that was likely analgesic.

I agree that it’s not new, but I think long rallies do a lot of damage to the body, even though these guys are exceptional athletes.

 

[Moxie]

Holy Toledo! Double break for Londero.

 

[atttomole]

Amazing point from Londero.

Especially on the hard surfaces. I believe we have been discussing this for a long time.

I should have re-worded,meant his serving arm
