US Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[nehmeth]

Novak is looking as sharp as he did in Adelaide or Melbourne. Muller is serving 86% of his first serves in and is down 0-6, 1-4. Won only 6 points on Novak’s serve.

 

[nehmeth]

And he breaks Novak. Muller’s box is in shock.

I see Novak was handing out bakery products in his 1st set against Muller, a generous bloke

AP,
FAA and Sakari need to get together and drown their sorrows, they have gone out in the first rounds of the GS 3 consecutive times this year
I am reading that FAA should sack Uncle Toni? a bit harsh dont you think?

Striking the ball with so much more depth, angle, speed than he did in Cinci.

And suddenly Novak has gone back to serving the way he has all Summer.

Yes he is also seeing he didnt get on court til late probably wants to get of court ASAP

Isnt that always the way when you say how well your fav player is playing as he goes back to serving like that lol!

Nah, probably the wait during the poorly scheduled ceremony threw things off and he needs some food.

Give him a strong expresso that will wake him up, did wonders for Serena Williams

Novak Djokovic is back at No 1 and will be there at the end of the tournament, by winning his first round match over Muller 60 62 63 he is back at the top.

Did the ladies match run long?? I can’t imagine they planned for the 2nd match to start at 11PM

Ladies matches completed, Novak's match was the last one for the night on Ashe

I knew it had completed. I just checked and saw that it ran three sets. I was wondering if the length of their match contributed to the late start. It seems that it did.

Yes, Coco’s match was nearly three hours.

It's not Toni but his primary Coach he needs to let go..

MM it's his BH and shot selection that is Felix failure to make him a top player..Felix takes breaks during parts of a match which is why he is playing down to his competition..e.g.he doesn't break service and blows too many bps opportunities which adds pressure to his own game .e.g. Felix is the pure opposite of Novak's game..Well that tells why he doesn't win anymore..

I saw early in the match that his bhand was a problem, I dont think he dosent want to win anymore, he looks stressed to me in his last couple of matches, winning matches breeds confidence, he has hit a really rough patch, he is the only one that can counter that rough patch, he does have youth on his side.
Cheer up your Greek player Stef didnt go out in his first round match like last year, he defeated Milos in straight sets

Chris Evert feels that Felix will be back to the top level
