Djokovic has another victim in sight in the 4th round. this time it is Canas.

Does Canas have a chance and why? thoughts? who gets your vote?

 

[Branimir]

Canas only chance is that he gets everything back at Djokovic and that Djokovic has off day/night. Anything but Djokovic win would be huge surprise.

that is spot on. Canas has to play at the top of his abilities and djokovic has to have an off day.

now what are the chances of both of these events taking place? i would say relatively slim.

Repeat of the Miami final.

yep. he just tore Canas apart in that one. 3 straight sets of serious spanking.

 

[JimmyV]

Canas really has no weapon's that can hurt Djokovic, all he can do is run every ball down and hope Djoke screws up.

well Fed has every weapon under the sun and yet Canas had no trouble dispatching Fed back to back last year on these hard courts.

he can hurt you, as you say, with his ability to play smart, tactical, and high percentage tennis. Djokovic presents a few problems for him however.

Djokovic does not give up any ground and has finishing power off both wings. he is essentially to ready to move forward at any opportunity. he also takes it early. this takes time away from Canas.

its going to be a long day for Canas.

 

[dylan24]

canas will win
since mtf poll winners always lose

 

[LocoPorElTenis]

Willy Cañas in 3.

 

[jonny84]

Djokovic in two. Really cannot see Canas pulling off a surprise win, but you never know, he beat Federer last year here....

Probably a scoreline like 6-4 6-3

 

[Bilbo]

G. Canas should clinch it

 

[W!MBLEDON]

nole in 3

Exactly my idea.

What's to discuss?Last time I checked (Umag, I guess) , Canas was in poor form, just a shadow of a-last spring- Canas.Maybe he looks better now, but can't be that good to beat -this year- Djokovic when it really matters.

 

[Roland9]

Djokovic should win, plain and simple. If he can't get to the semis from here, that would be the biggest upset of the tournament anyway.

 

[Okonsky]

Novak has to played much better than today to pass Canas.

 

[juninhOH]

Djokovic is on fire right now. Really, I was really impressed he just ran over Kohli. I think noone but Federer can stop him in this tourney.

Canas looked better last night than he has in a while but I still don't think he will beat Nole. But Willy was showing some shades of last spring yesterday- fantastic gets, some good dtl winners and pretty good serving. But Nole is very confident right now so I think this will be a comfortable win.

 

[Xoil]

Nole is no Fedclown, he'll easily take care of Canas

I don´t agree. Having seen both of them play last night it looks as if Canas really had some difficulties in closing the game early. I think that Djokovic really is a very dominant player at the moment. If he goes on playing like yesterday he will succeed.
