I don't think anyone understood, but back then we thought he meant negative.

I found this: "Djokovic is a fake. He shows off and acts...." http://tennistonic.com/tennis-news/?nid=1799&/Tough-Janowicz-insults-Djokovic-and-Federer

GG Lopez getting the better of Bautista-Agut, which is not so surprising since RBA was in a final on Sat., and Lopez is good on HC.

Janovic is playing unbelievably and not only for his ranking. Remember when he called No1e a player?

tell us again Mastoor.. what did h esay about nole?

 

[britbox]

Janowicz ripping those forehands. Where's he been the last couple of years?

oh -- that'/s not nice. don't say that. roger and nole earned their stripes the hard way .

he's really ferocious when on. problem is he gets off the game so easily.

ooo -- i LIKE garcia lopez -- love his style of playing!!

 

[teddytennisfan]

Safin used to say, or at least intimate as much, and he won 2 majors.

yea -- but something more from kyrgios -- safin really just like the ''life" , u know? tennis he also liked but he didn't like to just be ''all tennis"

kyrgios says he really prefers OTHER sports, like basketball..on TOP of having fun at the computer games. lol.

but safin he liked other stuff ''about life' - he liked to be alone actually and -- READ BOOKS...few people remember that.

Me, too! I'd be happy to see him come through.

 

[teddytennisfan]

oh my -- just like we suspected -- JJ came to FIGHT. and is bringing it to nole. big time. NOLE better get himself together.

 

[Mastoor]

Cassino style tennis brought a break to Janovic, but lets see No1e's response now.

 

[Moxie]

JJ finally gets the break. Obviously, this is far from an ideal first round match for Novak, but Jerzy isn't solid enough to win unless Djoker is really gimpy.

for me GG - has one of the most elegant looking tennis actually.

powerful, so solid - with wonderful variety, aggressive also comes with soft touch when he wants - nice big serves - nice returns and so athletic. just love the way he plays.

true - - it's either JJ'S consistency to really rattle nole's amazing defense - or nole UPS his game seriously. this is a real dangerous player for anyone, we all know.

 

[Moxie]

Cassino style tennis brought a break to Janovic, but lets see No1e's response now.

He didn't even need one...JJ threw it away.

 

[teddytennisfan]

Cassino style tennis brought a break to Janovic, but lets see No1e's response now.

and LOTS of that power really -- it's rattling nole a bit. because it's not often - even today -- you see players come up with that kind of power REPEATEDLY in a point.

 

[teddytennisfan]

good for NOLE -=- an easy hold to keep it close to one break ...

 

[teddytennisfan]

Janowicz ripping those forehands. Where's he been the last couple of years?

MONFILS -- let's all NOT forget he got through today -- and one to watch as dark horse . i want him to continue his improvements - also because it's so late in his career now and he really should have had a chance to take his own GS long ago at leas tget to finals or something. along with TSONGA.

two of the very very best athletes i 've ever seen in tennis. seriously.

 

[teddytennisfan]

it ooks like it might go to four sets at least.

Ask @britbox ...Safin didn't like tennis, or much. His mother forced him into it. Yes, he was a reader, and his distractions were more intellectual than Kyrgios', from what I can garner, (sometimes, though not always, by a long stretch,) but they are similar types: wild and wildly talented; crazily entertaining on court, often to their own detriment; and both with an uneasy relationship to the sport that makes them famous and rich.
