Simon will beat him tommorrow. Djoko won't want to lose to some of his main rivals in the later rounds in such a meaningless tournament so will just lose against Simon and save face.
But Simon is ill, he already was completely out of breath against Guez, he wouldn't play if it wasn't Marseille.
Unless he recovers until tomorrow, I'm afraid Djokovic will need to put up a Bercylike tank job to lose that one.
He was 1-5 down in third set, takes two breaks to 5-5, Troicki then played some brilliant tennis and won that. That is not a way to tank some match. They played 2 hours on 30 degrees, rain fall before the match, humidity was very high...
Well at least he went to Moscow and PLAYED...unlike Murray who was "injured" for Davis Cup and two days later plays in Marseilles and wins. Talk about excuses! Even his brother said he was disappointed with Murray!
He definitely couldn't tank today, it would have been so obvious and the tournament organization would have been really mad at him after all they've done to make him come (they organized a private jet for him, etc.)
The organization certainly prefers him to win tomorrow too, but they won't be soooo mad if he loses to Simon.
I don't think he can afford again such an horrible tank job like in Bercy though. So if Simon plays really well, Djoko might not give his very best then, but that's a big "if".

we'll have that in common with you then, altho we have won it some 9 times before

Escude, lol. I think you jinxed Novak few times already (you are really good at that, thank you very much). I thought he was going to tank his first match in Marseile too but after I read few of your comments I'm sure he is going to win the tournament
