Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO QF versus Novak Djokovic

:worship:

I loved the Courier interview :lol: so cute, he begins babbling in english and then he goes, crap what is that word in english ?
Also he misunderstood one of Courier's question, who was asking him if he didn't have a lot of sympathy for Nole. In french, sympathie means liking someone and not "feeling sorry for him". It was funny how he tried to justify himself :lol:

Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO QF versus Novak Djokovic

glad he's in the semis but what a strange match that was. did novak all of a sudden get sick?

Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO QF versus Novak Djokovic

It probably was a stomach virus or something, Gaël had that kind of things once too, in a match against Rafa in Rotterdam I think.

I'm so angry that people are calling Jo's dance a disrespect for Novak, and saying he has no class. He recognised Nole was feeling unwell when he came back, and he even asked the crowd for a round of applause for him, for having fought through the sickness. I don't know what more they need.

Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO QF versus Novak Djokovic

Two five-setters in a row :worship: So glad that he managed to comeback after the loss of the second set and that awful third set. Hopefully he has a lot of gas left in the tank for the semis (maybe for another five-setter? :lol::bounce:). Allez Jo!

Well, we were optimistic that the draw was "do-able", but Jo actually made it happen.

I always knew he was strong, but his physical conditioning has further impressed me, the way he won those back-to-back five-setters. :hatoff:

To be in the semi-final against Federer is a great achievement. I hope that he can continue his dream run.

Well done Jo!

Today's the big day. Jo, this is your moment, let's surpass expectations and go to the final!

Good luck! :kiss:

Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO Semis versus Fed!

This is terrible, the worst match he played since his juniors days. I think I'm about to cry.
Fed played great, did what he does to lots of players and made Jo look ordinary. I wouldn't overreact and say Jo's play was that bad (though he was obviously somewhat drained).

It's still a great tourny, and as long as Jo takes the positives out of it he should have a fantastic year :)

Re: Aussie Summer '10 : AO Semis versus Fed!

sucky serving, his morale was pretty much abysmal through out the whole match. I wish it didn't have to end with that scoreline but still a good slam result. my only disappointment is the lack of topless winogradsky pictures. :D

What an anti-climax. Those five-setters seem to have taken their toll.

Semi-final is a great result. I'll be happy if he achieves that in any tournament this year.

This match was very depressing!:eek: Fed played so good and Jo was playing average.

We can still be proud of him! I mean, come on semi final is a great achievement! He played 2 fivesetters that he won:yeah: Let's hope this great form continues into the rest of the season. Hopefully some good performances in GS this year ;)

I agree, SF is a very good result for any player. but the match was soooo depressing that we kind of felt let down. I also felt that Jo would have lost/ had a tough time against Djokovic had Djokovic not gotten sick. So good result but Jo was not playing at the level he should play against top 4-5 players. I really wanted to see how he would fare against Davydenko but no such luck.
