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

They only numb the area for a little while,he also should have taken a pill.

I would have said that Londero needed to win the first set, but winning this second would still be huge, if he can pull it off. Just extending Djokovic would be in his favor. NOTE: One break back to Novak.

I didn't see him take one, but I can't believe that he didn't.

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

Even on surfaces that are not hard, you have the wear and tear that results from playing long points.

 

[Moxie]

Londero shouldn't try to be cute.

 

[Moxie]

Londero has to win this set, if he has hopes. Djokovic is hurting, but if he gets past this round, he has a chance to regroup and recover.

 

[atttomole]

Djokovic’s return is ‘sick’.

 

[Moxie]

I didn't see him take one, but I can't believe that he didn't.

You campaigning for the return to S&V? Good luck with that.

 

[Moxie]

Londero has just got schooled and he knows it. Even with one arm tied behind his back, the Joker is laughing at him.

 

[Moxie]

Launder doesn't even have a volley. Those things have more air than a helium balloon.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That angle from Novak was just beyond 'sic'

 

[atttomole]

Londero looks mesmerized. Beautiful tennis from Djokovic.

Totally weird 2nd set....Londero breaks

I'm not feeling Londero pulling it out, though. He could have won the first, and had a lead in the 2nd. If he has any belief, he'd better employ it now.

He could have been up 2 sets to now....oh well you only get limited chances and you have to take them

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great hitting off the ground there by both players...deuce

Great first serve and he holds....t/break

 

[Moxie]

A bit of a bullet dodged here for Novak. Looks like he'll get out of it in straights, though it could easily have gone extra innings. Obviously the concern going forward will be for his health, but he gets a day to sort himself out.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak up a double break finishing line is near,he has a rest day and to receive more treatment for his shoulder.

Hot stone massage, and a visit to the guru, I reckon.

Well done Novak in straights sets,at first it did not look that way
