Olympics R1: Djokovic d. Fognini 6-7 6-2 6-2

Phew :o

just a few more enigma points for the already brimming Fogmeister. No matter who is on the other side of the net, Nole or a 59-year old retired Harold Solomon, he just does his own thing.


couldn't watch the match, so didn't

Oh well, shame for tennis. I'd loved an early upset :).

Nole tanked a set for the crowd to be even more entertained :D

:lol: Funny score line.

Roddick has a chance vs. this Djokovic.

I like Nole. He was robbed by Rafa in the last Olympics. Let's face it. We all want to see Fed Nole final. But Beneteau will take Fed out tomorrow and Murray will win it

screw olympics when they allow Nole to play in front of an empty stadium

for those uninformed posters but posters who were impressed with nole's moving that was ours last year Wimbledon champion

Fog needs to play seriously. Straight through matches. Ugh

Nole wins 3 and 3 from here on

Fuck me..:o

Easy draw for Frauderer. Fognini or round 2, what a joke! :lol: :lol: :lol:

oooooooops sorry, wrong tournament, my mistake.

meh, still so pissed I wasn't able to see the match at all. C1, no live streams, I finally found a lousy one, then it started raining ... got up so early to see this match, then rain, then I fell asleep, missed the whole thing. screw you organizers. silly morons, you are scheduling the best player in the world to play or C1 while Tsonga is on CC, whatever.

:rolls:

It's tougher than Falla. And Roddick is tougher than Benneteau. And for sure Cilic/Hewitt is tougher than Istomin/Mugler so keep trying

Falla is way tougher on grass.
And Benneteau is way tougher for Federer than Roddick, although I reckon Roddick is way tougher for Nole than Benneteau.

Yup. Rankings don't lie :shrug:

According to the ATP the Fog was actually Tomic in disguise :o

yeah looner I know Rog is 75 points ahead of Nole, forgive me, I'm just frustrated ;) ...Nole is still there :D. thanks for a hug :)

good fight number two

Well, I myself was frustrated I couldn't see Novak's all new glorious blue shirt. It seems Uniqlo were onto something from his and Kei's outfits. How the BBC decided to show Tomug is beyond me :facepalm:.

What a trainwreck :o

Don't worry, Benny will take care of that.

At the moment, they do.

BEST SHOT EVER:USO SF 2011 Nole's CC FH on Fed's match point.

LOL. THAT is a lie.

Roddick has a chance vs. this Djokovic.

Roddick is not in the second round yet.

BEST SHOT EVER:USO SF 2011 Nole's CC FH on Fed's match point.

LOL. THAT is a lie.

I know it hurts you a lot, but nevertheless, it's the truth.What a perfection was that.

lol x 1000 at these articles 'Nole battles past Tomic' ... hilarious stuff, oh well :D ... I'd fire these so called 'journalists' for being so ignorant

Uniqlo is doing a great job so far :) One has to wonder though, what kind of over the top shirt would ST produce for Olympics, but I guess the world just wasn't ready :lol:

Fogmeister giving Nole a scare before returning to his normal too-relaxed-for-tennis self. :)

screw olympics when they allow Nole to play in front of an empty stadium

I didn't see the match. Did they actually play in front of the stadium???

Fog played better in collecting few games against Fed in Wimby than today. It says all about quality of this match

I agree that Nole looked damn good in his Olympic outfit. Now that's the proper way an Olympic athlete should be dressed. A simple, stylish design that emphasizes the country's colors without resorting to distracting, crazy patterns & symbols.

Nole's game, on the other hand, did not present itself as well apart from his serve. He seemed to be having trouble finding the range on his forehand and return in particular. I think this had a lot to do with his poor movement on the surface, but things seemed to be clicking better as the match progressed. He'll need to continue to improve if his draw holds to form.

Well, if even Federer struggled yesterday, no wonder everybody else is not comfortable either. :)

:yeah: to the outfit bit. I could not watch the match to comment on the play. Ridiculous court coverage :mad:.

tell me about it bud. still so pissed I wasn't able to see the match. :o ... I'm getting over it. I assume that the Nole/Roddick match will be scheduled on Court 28 :lol: so I'll miss that too ...

of course he did.But Fed' greatness somehow managed to beat him

:superlol:

court 1 was not too empty in the beginning. When the match started after more than 2 hours of rain delay, I think it's about 70-80% but after the other rain delay, most people gave up.

screw olympics when they allow Nole to play in front of an empty stadium

It's a conspiracy, right? :)

It's a conspiracy, right? :)

Get a room you two :p

:haha: Djoko lost a set to Fognini. What's next, losing a set to Groove ?

Get a room you two :p

Making fun of the spiritual connection between me and munZe... Jealous? What if you're the one I'm really eying ;) I'll even top if that is what it needs.


On a more serious note, did you snap out of it yet? Or are you just a relapse waiting to happen should you relive emotions from a couple of weeks ago? :p

:haha: Djoko lost a set to Fognini. What's next, losing a set to Groove ?

:haha: No offense Groove but that was pretty funny.

outfit - good.
everything else - horrid. surface, djokovic, fogna, you name it...
they should have played on some hc next to olympic village. this 'grass' is not good enough, nor close enough.

That was quite a scare for both players. The surface was slippery as hell.

Same surface and conditions for everyone. Plus, Nole is so good at sliding on court, it should be an advantage really.

They should ban grass, those conditions are risky to the players and can cause serious injuries!!

we only want red clay as surface!

:haha: Djoko lost a set to Fognini. What's next, losing a set to Groove ?

Losing a set to anybody after having 3 consecutive MPs. :angel:

:haha: Djoko lost a set to Fognini. What's next, losing a set to Groove ?

Just fuck off :mad:. Both the Fog and JG are good players. JG is still a work-in progress, so who knows how good he can get.

Roddick has a chance vs. this Djokovic.

Pretty sure he doesn't :lol:

A guy like Djokovic shouldn't have dropped a set against the Fog. I would go far as to say that 1st set he dropped was out of compassion.

he dropped a tb set for crying out loud

nole=just like a boss

Maybe 'Dick can take a set if he serves well. :D

This match reminds me of Stepanek vs Djo in Wimby. The result was inevitable.

I'm still not convinced that he can beat Murray yet.

From hero to zero. This guy has been rubbish in tight situations this whole year. Talk about folding like a cheap tent every time he has to serve for the set or save a bp :(

Solid play from Nole. Better losing set to Fog then mug Falla.Fed is afterall best player in world and King of grass.

How is losing a set to the Fog on grass better than losing one to Falla?

:haha: Djoko lost a set to Fognini. What's next, losing a set to Groove ?

Maybe :shrug:

Just fuck off :mad:. Both the Fog and JG are good players. JG is still a work-in progress, so who knows how good he can get.



Pretty sure he doesn't :lol:

Thanks for the defense :yeah:

I dunno, man. On this grass, vs. this Djokovic, in best of 3? After winning 2 titles in the last 6 weeks or so? With that serve? So long as he navigates past Klizan, Roddick has at least a puncher's chance.

How is losing a set to the Fog on grass better than losing one to Falla?

Just another manifestation of tard wars.

Eli, Roger's ranking indicates that he is, in fact, the best player in the world. :D

Federer has just been keeping no.1 warm for 290 weeks waiting for Ferrer, the true GOAT to make his move, beginning with Olympic gold Having won Acupulco, the 5th slam :rocker2:
