Djokovic's down 2 sets to luv vs Popyrin of Australia! I thought he was dangerous, but didn't see this! True enough, how motivated is Novak to do much of anything for the rest of the season? He won that OG & psychologically he could be done! I don't see any fire even though on the verge....! Neither of us is greedy! He's done what he wanted most even though I'd just assume they eliminate tennis from "The Games!" The "hatahs" don't have much to throw at him besides irrational insults now ..MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Alcaraz in a slump again after he suffered a loss to Novak in OG. This is probably his earliest exit in a slam in last few years.

He's not good w/ bouncing back after a tough loss is he? The only time he did well was last year when he froze up at RG. He followed that up w/ a win in Queens and then Wimbo.

Alexi Popyrin is leading Djokovic 2 sets to love, 64 64

This one won't be straight sets like last night. Popy's level is already dropping and Djoke is there to mop up the errors.

Novak is dangerous when he is down 2 sets to love, Pop really needed to win this in 3, though he did something to his ankle late in the 2nd set, still lets not right him off yet no?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alexi a break is only a break if you can consolidate no?

 

[kskate2]

too much slop from him in this set. gives the break right back and is down 5-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak wins the 3rd set 62
Popyrin leads 2 sets to 1

 

[kskate2]

Good Lord. How many times is Popy gonna get burned going right back to Djoke? It always amazes me when players do that. How difficult is it to hit the ball where the opponent isn't?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Pop sealed with an Ace to take a 4-2 lead in the 4th set!
Hurry up Pop I want to watch Saba's match just hold forever please or another break would be ideal

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

[MargaretMcAleer]

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rinse and Repeat Alexi,
