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

Well you did imply he's faking an injury. There is no reason to do that before a match, especially when we are talking the overwhelming favorite to win the title.

No, I don't think he's faking, but I think he's given to over-emphasizing, when it's not really a thing.

Asking Nole about the shoulder injury right before walking on the court is plain stupid though. What do you expect him to say? I am glad he shrugged it off and just said "Let's play".

Almost everything they ask them before they walk on court is stupid, let's be honest.

You are absolutely right.

Fantastic point from Djokovic to win that point and get the break. Kudla blew his advantage in that point.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nole seems on edge with the fans tonight?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Looking at Djokovic he looks fine and it does not seem he is hurting. However, the real test will be this Sunday night against Stan Wawrinka. We will see on how he will hit his backhand on a consistent basis.

 

[rafanoy1992]

He is hitting his backhand well BUT I could sense some hesitation when he is hitting it. I think he is trying not to hit his backhand too hard or it might hurt his left shoulder.

Bad Medvedev seemingly showing up.

He just got a code violation...he has come out in a Bad Mood

It's the USO. Get over your bad mood, sez I.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me Lopez with gold stars around the top of his t shirt....

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic point from DM there, for 4-0. Oops, and Feli DFs.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Some TB from Medvedev. What happened there before?

 

[Moxie]

DM wins the set, but not the love of the crowd, it seems. Be careful...the crowd can eat you up, esp in NYC at night.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kudla has a nice backhand. Nole is hitting more slices that normal .

A lot of 1-H slicing.

Some TB from Medvedev. What happened there before?

A lot, but basically DM snatched a towel from a kid and got a code violation. Then he probably raised the bad finger to his head, but the chair didn't see it. Crowd is against him.

I could see that tonight...I wonder what Stan is thinking right about now...

Do you think DM is better on the courts here at the USO?
