I am stopping to watch Nole right now. If he is not interested, why should I be?

Little McFly is on fire! And Djoker is allowing it to happen. 2-0 in the decider.

If Nole would compete as he can, I would be excited for him. But he clearly is not.

Yeah, somebody who was choosing to tank wouldn't get the match back on serve 3-3 and down by 2 breaks

You thought you saw him tanking at the last tournament as well, but it was only that he was playing poorly. He won that match that you said he was tanking. Tell me, do you think he has so little warrior in him that he throws matches? You consider him a cheat, do you?

McFly couldn't sustain it and now he's likely not going to win another game this set. 4-3 Djoker

Heh refuse to lose again ;)

So which is it? Choosing to tank to avoid Stan or refusing to lose attitude? You'll agree it can't be both, no?

Kieran, the body language has changed as soon as he lost his opening game in the second set. he was just dialing in and going through the motions.
I am not considering him a cheat, but he makes weird decisions, to let a set go, based on what happened in a game. Did you see his reaction?

I am not a part time supporter, I am just mad at him for his short term decisions. And by the way, I am not watching, just hanging on here.

Now don't you feel foolish? Down 2 breaks, Nole just took off his hat and handed Goffin's head to him! :clap :snicker :laydownlaughing :angel:

I don't think it's tanking at all. Novak's problem is he'll bring his B-C level game to a alot of these matches and most times it's good enough. On the off-chance that the opponent is playing well enough to take a set or even get in a winning position, most of them choke and can't finish him off and in the back of his mind he knows it and in some respect relies on it.

Refusing to lose becomes habitual and so you don't bring your best level all the time. I see it alot from the women's #1 as well.
