Nole at the PARIS Masters Thread! (Welcome to Bercy ;-)

;)

Good morning Milan :)

People in France love him so there can`t be any doubt that Nole`s gonna do great in Bercy...do you feel the 6th title coming ;)?

France is always great luck for Novak :rocker2:

(Except for last year... losing two tbs to PHM. :armed: We will NOT end the year like that again, do you hear me Nole?)

I can't wait to see him in Paris!!

I'm not sure but I think that after the show they sometimes put videos on their site! We'll check!
Yes I'm going to Bercy but as I'm working I hope that Nole will be playing late so that I can go after work, and Thursday is a day off in France so it's OK.. and I'll go to the qualies next week end!

They were so excited that they announced it 2 weeks in advance :lol: I wonder if he will go with his football jersey :haha:

I wouldn't be surprised if he get's PSG jersey, and say I always loved PSG:haha:
I wonder if he learn some french?

Why not the PSG jersey lol, it would be funny if gerard holtz gives it to him...:lol:

Nole knows some french but just some basic words or phrases.

Isn't the PSG sponsored by Nike? :scratch:

DJOKOVIC Novak - Bye
SANTORO Fabrice - MONTANES Albert
NIEMINEN Jarkko - MONACO Juan
Bye - MURRAY Andy

GASQUET Richard - Bye
TSONGA Jo-Wilfried - GROSJEAN Sebastien
Qualifier - MAHUT Nicolas
Bye - BLAKE James

(Federer's part of the draw)

Do you think he can beat BYE again?:unsure: :lol:
I mean,sooner or later Bye is gonna improve his game and become dangerous opponent. :eek:

Good luck Nole!

Depends on how much Bye was paid to tank the match :shrug:

I am looking forward-as always- to his possible matches against Murray and Gasquet, but as I am little lazy to learn how to read those draws, can you tell me in what rounds they could meet Nole?

Good luck and don't torture us like you did in last 2 weeks!!!

Novak will end his year at the Masters Cup. :D

Good luck, Nole :D

Nole is on French tv with his smart boy look. :lol: They brought his terracotta statue :tape: He thinks he looks too old in it.
They are all fanboying him. :haha:

Thank you! :worship:

(is it only me that could only hear it,and not actually see it? I only had him in shades,and colors...but anyway,good show:) )

Thank you for posting the video link. It worked fine for me... The glasses are a little Mr. Roboto, but overall I really really like the smart boy look. It's probably just my thing! ;)

Oh, Nole in glasses is so BEAUTIFUL :inlove:

i completely agree. think he looks incredibly awesome, and serious. and studious. just, you know, perfect for him.

If he were a politician I'd vote for him immediately without even asking about his policies :awww:

He just looks that smart!

Screen caps from the interview ;)

:lol: at the second-last frame - he looked utterly: "What the hell was I thinking?"

thank you for the screen caps! they're awesome. it must be so weird to have a camera on you when you're looking at pictures or video of yourself, esp Nole who is so silly sometimes! Still, he manages to look pretty good!

Did he just look smart or say something smart, too?!:)

BTW, my boyfriend truly believes Nole has political ambitions :eek: !

Oh, Nole in glasses is so BEAUTIFUL :inlove:

I agree! :hearts:

Glasses make most people even sexier. What can I say? I have the hots for geeks. ;)

you and me both. nerds are hot.

Fabrice Santoro, making his 14th appearance at the tournament, thrilled the home crowd by beating Spain's Albert Montanes 7-6 6-2 to set up a second-round clash with world No.3 Novak Djokovic.

"I don't know him well and I've never played him," the 34-year-old Frenchman said of his next opponent, who is 14 years his junior.

"Last year we trained here together and he asked me if he could have his picture taken with me. This time I think I will be the one to ask."


Aww Fabrice :lol:

That's pretty nice from him. :D

Now kill the midget, Nole! :devil:

Awww that's a cute quote by Fabrice.

I like Fabrice, but he's going down :D

Just a few minutes and the GREAT NOVAK DJOKOVIC is starting his battle for 3rd masters trophy.......!!!!Ajmo NOLE ......SRPSKI KRALJU

Nole will play Muzza next :p

:p And I will be home to watch it on TV :D

FOUR break points saved already :speakles:

he's playing now???? *runs to livescores*

Broken :help:

This is unexpected...:(...Anyone watching this?What's up with Nole?!

Nole will play Muzza next :p

You jinxed it! :fiery: And now I won't see Nole tomorrow. :sobbing:

You jinxed it! :fiery: And now I won't see Nole tomorrow. :sobbing:

Two more sets to go :shrug:

I can't bear to look... *sobbing* BYE must have sapped all his energy...

WTF is wrong with him!? :tape: Is anyone watching?

This is the most pathetic display I've ever seen from Nole. Extremely disappointing, not the way a #3 should perform on the court.

He better have a damn good excuse.

A head start in getting over the jetlag in Shanghai :p

maybe he wants to visit me before going to shanghai :spit:

He's not even trying. :rolleyes:

3-6 2-6. Absolutely disgraceful. :help: :mad:

Santoro even tried to choke at the end, but Nole wouldn't let him.

Now go win that TMC :devil:

P A T H E T I C.........Djokovic clearly didn't even want to win that match.....

Nole :sad:

What happened?

Nole must have forgot his game behind that mask

I'm a big fan of Djokovic but that was a disgrace.....he picks up half a million for that rubbish.....there were points where he clearly hit straight to Santoro on purpose when it looked impossible to lose the point....I'm very disappointed by the way he decided to conduct himself today and I think if the Atp can fine Davydenko last week for not trying then surely Djokovic should get the same treatment......

Not to formulate the Djokovic excuse book for losing, but did anyone think he just seemed like he didn't want to win for some reason or another..

EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

bit sad but he saving it for next week.. he will be a diff man next week for sure...

Not to formulate the Djokovic excuse book for losing, but did anyone think he just seemed like he didn't want to win for some reason or another..

It couldn't have been any more obvious that he wanted to lose, if he was trying to hide the fact then he didn't do a very good job...

Half a million? Don't think so.

What a shame Djoko, you are now one of the heatest player.

Oh dear - that was truly dreadful. Dare one suggest too many parties in Belgrade last week?

me so sad:sad:

It couldn't have been any more obvious that he wanted to lose, if he was trying to hide the fact then he didn't do a very good job...

Agreed.

He better do extremely well in Shanghai to make up for this.

Half a million? Don't think so.

Well....Fleming, Petchy and the rest of them must not know what they are talking about then.....Is it a bonus for playing in all the tennis masters series events? I don't know....but they haven't shut up about the fact that he gets half a mill just for turning up....

Even the LS seemed to shriek that Nole seemed like he wanted to lose that one pretty badly.

I don't know which would be worse: for the impression to be true, or false :scratch: :p

Oh dear - that was truly dreadful. Dare one suggest too many parties in Belgrade last week?

Possibly.

I'm thinking something non tennis related?


EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Heyyyyyyyyyy :p

[QUOTE=ema__;6205195]Possibly.

Well frankly I hope it's that - am a big fan and would hate to think he lost deliberately.
And I am so looking forward to Shanghai but he'll get slaughtered on this form.

Nole just said on French TV that he was very, very , very exhausted:o

Nole just said on French TV that he was very, very , very exhausted:o

Picking up that 500k bonus must have been exhausting :awww: It he did tank, that bonus needs to be removed immediately. Same with Roger and Rafa if they do it.

Okay :armed: who was this guy and what has he done with Nole? :mad:
For his sake I hope this was tanking (but he's not playing well since the US open), and that he'll be his old self for TMC.
If it was tanking, this is really pathetic!! If Davydenko got fined for not trying... well so should Nole! I like him, but what's fair is fair.

OK, I like Fab too but WTF was Nole doing? The scoreline is just :help:

I agree, if he tanks (and right now really sounds like it), he should not received the 500K and also be fined for tanking.

Sky UK have just said that Nole is recovering from foot surgery??? Hadn't heard this and there's nothing on his official site. Can anyone shed any light please?

What??? never heard anything like that, and I am sure someone would have mentioned it here if it's true :shrug:

Well indeed.

Love him dearly but the phrase 'quick damage limitation exercise' does spring to mind...

Foot surgery? :confused:

Now I'm confused :confused:.




p.s. since I am confused again, Jiat must be around :p

It's just post in GM

http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071031.wsptparis31/GSStory/GlobeSportsOther/home

"Fabrice deserved to win but I played really badly," said Djokovic. "I had foot surgery a couple of weeks ago and I've been under medication since.

"It's been a very long season and I'm really exhausted," he added. "I hope people will understand. You can't be at 100 percent all the time."

He did look like he twisted his foot in the Madrid QF against Mario, but I didn't know that he got a foot surgery.


SOLUTION: when in doubt, ask Milan :p

So he has some legitimate excuses. :tape:

ACTION: have asked, now awaits response :p

Do hope so - someone must know. In that case just hope he's better for TMC but he still looks completely knackered foot or no foot. The usual sparkle just isn't there...

ACTION: have asked, now awaits response :p
ADD: Now I saw a quote that he actually had a dental surgery :confused: removing two wisdom teeth. Could someone mixed up a tooth for a foot? :lol:

OK, new info from another source and this makes more sense. It seems something was lost in translation earlier.

The 20-year-old said he was struggling following dental surgery to remove two wisdom teeth.

"I couldn't give my 100 percent, not even 30 percent of my possibilities," Djokobvic said.

"He deserved to win. I'm still on medications. I didn't practise for a whole week, I only started practising two days ago. Physically, I'm not feeling at all good."

ADD: Now I saw a quote that he actually had a dental surgery :confused: removing two wisdom teeth. Could someone mixed up a tooth for a foot? :lol:

Since Nole doesn't speak French, he probably answered questions in English and with an accent tooth/foot sound close enough :tape:

that explains a lot. dental surgeries suck but as far as I know, the recovery doesn't last long.

and all this foot/tooth mix up is just too funny :rolls:

That sounds much more reasonable. It's no joke having wisdom teeth removed and they do put you on knockout drops afterwards. Really didn't want to believe he'd not tried.

Imagine the first reporter going:

"Ah.. he removed his wisdom feet."

:p

No, I haven't seen that post by J'torian :tape:

But which toes are the wisdom ones :scratch::scratch: pinkies or...???

No, I haven't seen that post by J'torian :tape:

General depression :awww: exams, no Mario, I'm fat, and my tickets haven't arrived.

General depression :awww:

:awww: :hug: It's that silly time of the year. I've been dealing with it too for a while now.


exams

but you'll rock your exams :rocker2: but it is stressful, I agree
, no Mario

:hug::hug: you'll bump into one another, trust me.:angel:

You are not fat!!! :armed:

ARGHH!

Was Wednesday Halloween?!!

It was my brother's birthday, dammit! I kept thinking that it's on Friday for some bizarre reason :armed: :sobbing:

Now they said in B92 news that he said after the match, he had a foot intervention,too,and had not fully recovered yet.

That's not good, at all.

that explains a lot. dental surgeries suck but as far as I know, the recovery doesn't last long.

and all this foot/tooth mix up is just too funny :rolls:

I had my wisdom teeth removed recently and felt crappy for about 5 days afterwards. I definitely wouldn't want to play Santoro feeling like that.

Now I'm confused :confused:.




p.s. since I am confused again, Jiat must be around :p

:smash: well guess what! I wasn't!!! I was preparing to go to bed when you posted that :ras:

Now they said in B92 news that he said after the match, he had a foot intervention,too,and had not fully recovered yet.


Here is a link of his post match interview, I translated the most important part::)
http://www.eurosport.fr/tennis/ms-paris-bercy/2007/sport_sto1366258.shtml


What happened during the match?

Nole : From the beginning of the match,I had difficulties to move and Santoro took controle, he wasn't doing anything special. He was putting the ball in the court and I made too many unforced errors. I wasn't at 1OO%, not even at 30% of my abilities. He deserved to win. I don't try to find me any excuses but we have to take in consideration that I had a little surgery just after Madrid. They removed me 2 wisdom teeth. I didn't practice for a week. Physically, I'm not in great shape at all.

And Now?

Nole: I'll try to rest, to eat a lot because I lost weight. I need to "take some kilos" and work on my physical form, slowly. I've 10 days to be ready for Shanghai . I'm leaving on sunday and I'll have 5,6 days to prepare there.

He lost weight? Awww the poor child :awww: thank you, amdany :hug:
