The Tennis Thread

Not even remotely the same

 

What's the difference when Rafa goads the crowd on compared to Djokovic?

Djokovic missed on a huge chance there but typical Nadal raises his game when push comes to shove. This is brilliant.

 

* you, Rafa.

 

Djokovic is a snarling, arrogant looking *. Who does it regularly, screams and shouts etc.
That’s not what Rafa done there.

 

I guess we see what we want to see. Obviously they're both brilliant players but when it comes to sportsmanship they are both dodgy in my eyes.

 

Ahh * it. * you, Djokovic. Hope you get smashed in the final ya *.

 

Brilliant Djokovic, incredible to compete with Nadal mentally

 

Djokovic is such a boring *. The tennis equivalent of playing 10 men behind the ball.

 

You’re dead to me now !




Honestly despise Djokovic and ironically enough Murray. The only two players I cannot bear to watch win.

 

Ffs trust you to get surreal

You cannot beat Nadal playing defensive tennis, it's impossible.

 

*. YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Brilliant match and well done Djokovic for coming back from his bad spell,hope for a rematch in the US Open.

 

@Markybhoy

 

Lego head just sits on the baseline returning everything that comes over the net. Fair enough Rafa tested him with a fair few drop shots, but every time he returned one he got right back in position.

He's a great talent for sure. But he never takes any risks, never does anything exciting. Just stands there returning ball after ball with the same dead-behind-the-eyes android look on his face.

That computer that plays chess has more personality than him.

 

* getting on the wrong side of you.

You make a decent point but I see Djokovic making a lot of incredible shots, his placement is almost like someone playing on a pool table. He maybe plays more on the base line because he's possible the best returner of a ball the game has seen and he doesn't just return the ball, he makes great shots and runs players ragged.

As much as I admire Anderson I would say if you wanted to see boring tennis you could probably put his style into that category.

 

Djokovic has the eyes of a man who can only feel joy as he feels the life ebb away from the prostitute he is currently strangling.

He can return balls all day long fair enough, but can he pass the Turing test? Doubtful.

 

Oooft he might be a good returner but he'd have no reply to that.

 

Jeez oh Kerber won.

I never watch Women's Finals when Serena is in them cause it's normally such a foregone conclusion.

Straight sets too, she must be good.

 

Pleased Kerber won, especially as the media had already all-but crowned Serena the champ about a week ago.

US, Aus, Wimbledon, now just the French to complete the set.
