Now he is telling them to not look sideways, but to watch him all the time. What a birthday it is .

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Arnaldi's serve has gone AWOL in this match, usually it is very reliable, he has soo much potential, not showing it today and defeated Novak recently in Madrid

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak to serve for the match 5-4, Arnaldi serve again went AWOL when needed
Arnaldi you had your chance to take the 2nd set , your serve deserted you when needed

Yep, a really scrappy match from both players quite frankly, the birthday boy will win the match,

Novak asking guys from his box to tell him where to stand on return. Dude, you have 2 dozen grand slams, I think you have a pretty good idea where to stand.

According to him, he doesn't need a coach so why is he asking anybody anything? Yesterday he was asking the box where he should serve against Fucs.

It's an imaginary crutch! Novak just wants a fresh ear to bend as he rants & raves while trying to survive the last gasps of his career! He proved he can surprise us w/ OG last yr.! He even got to the final of Wimbledon! He shocked us all w/ a great run at Miami this season! Ya just never know! His current form won't do it! Today's players are killers who just go mindless, red-lining all the way to overpower him! Hopefully Amelie won't go brain dead putting him on in the middle of the fk'n nite exacerbating his knee injury in last yr.'s French Open!

Blaming Amelie LOL! for exacerbating his knee issues, putting him on in the middle of the night? your such a treat
Novak has been handed a 'favorable draw in Paris this year' btw, ,stop your whinging!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Before I head out the door, cause I am running late big time,
The seeded players at RG who are drawn against Qualifers,
Foki, Rublev, Dimitrov, Musetti, Michleson Rudd and Paul, I would not bet against any of the seeded players

As I said, there will be weeks when Novak is on top form, like at Wimbledon, the Olympics, and Miami. During those weeks, he will be a contender to win. However, there will be weeks now when Novak just doesn't have it, and will drop out in the first round.

So far vs Norris he's looking ok! Won the 1st set 6-4, serving high %, but dropped serve in the 2nd early! I missed the opening games! Did they mention at all the tête-à-tête between these 2? It was at the Italian Open a couple yrs. ago! Norris was feeling himself, had defeated Alcaraz in Rio earlier that Sping, & thought he could get away w/ hitting Novak w/ his overhead smash right at him; back of the legs really as the point had been conceded! Novak has all kinds of incentive to continue his dominance over this clown!

 

[kskate2]

The question is will Norrie and Hubie laydown to give Djoker 100? So far the Brit is onboard and we know HH can't return to save his life. I'd say it looks good for your boy to get 100.

 

[mrzz]

Surprisingly high level match between Etcheverry and Cobolli, at least these few games I am able to peek at the third set.

Norrie got a reprieve w/ some UFE's by Novak in the TB! It's going 3! He needs the practice anyway so no biggie IMO! He's not my BOY!

 

[Moxie]

He's not my BOY!
