The espn commentators were brutal on Zverev after the match! Tore him a new one like I have seldom seen!!

GOOD.

In his presser, Zverev attributed the change in conditions after the sun went down for the drop of in game in general, and his serve specifically. He said he could not do any damage with the cooler temperatures.

Novak is the exact opposite. He is the most effective when the sun is down or at least not blaring and temperatures temperate about 20 to 25. The sunlight can be disorienting and distracting so no sun means more focus.

I think they are just disappointed that Novak wins. Was it McEnroe?

I think you have to re-read my post again.

Yes, I reread it.

You say this is the only court in Djoko's career where the crowd booed him as he entered the court, without him having done anything wrong. Indeed, that fits in with what I said earlier.
It was a match big3, and it was a Nadal Djoko.
It varies depending on the energy and passion of the moment, between the two, Nadal and Djoko.
At RG 2022, Djoko had beaten Nadal the previous year, Nadal had failed in all the clay MS 2022, and had withdrawn in MC.

So much for the energy and passion of the moment.

Even when the crowds were massively in favor of Federer and desperate for him to win a slam in 2014-2016, they never booed Novak on entry.

I don't know if RG crowd would have booed Djoko if he played against Fed between 2014 and 2016, he would have surely supported Federer as usual but anyway, they only met twice at RG, in 2011 and 2012.

It has been 20 years of hell and back listening to their wailings and drabbing of anybody who doesn't beat Novak. McEnroe is the worst but all except one guy who is somewhat impartial.

 

[Rod_Laver Slam]

This is the only court in which Novak was booed, not in the middle of a match because he did something the crowd didn't like, but on entering the stadium in 2022 in his quarterfinal match against Nadal. Even when the crowds were massively in favor of Federer and desperate for him to win a slam in 2014-2016, they never booed Novak on entry. So in a way, it is more surprising here than anywhere else.

These were insane Nadal's fans who have no respect of the game as a whole. The booing was a shame as was the one in Australia this year - they are watching 38 legend of the sport presenting high level at this age and beating the top players but unfortunately the body is giving up more to injuries now and they have no respect for this. Such hateful and manipulated people .

 

[Meerkat9]

Commentators were as usual cheering against Novak. They were ecstatic when he lost the first game and they were literally wailing when Zverev gave away the first break in the 2nd set. It's all fun and games .

I agree with you but I believe Johnny Mac likes Novak.

 

[Pedigree]

Djokovic has played well. Impressive tournament.

Pretty pathetic performance by Zverev. Patty-caking some of those overheads on key points was laughable.

 

[MIMIC]

Alcaraz doesnt abuse dropshots like that, this is a weapon for him but not a cheater like Novax did today showing he is the biggest fraud of this sport, he only wanted to win at all costs.

Stupidity flows from you like a river

 

[Nolesaurus]

I agree with you but I believe Johnny Mac likes Novak.

20 years of hate and disrespect says the opposite.

 

[Dominic S]

Generation Useless on display here. Imagine being one of the top players of that generation and not being able to beat a washed Novak

 

[Victorious PIG]

There is nothing worse in tennis than watching two pushers playing each other

Obvious Djokovic hater who didn't watch the match, LMAO

How often do you see a pusher go to the net 37 times?

Zverev went to the net 38 times, so what? They're still pushers. 🤷‍♀️

Obviously neither of them are pushers.

They hit 80 winners combined. More than Bublik and Sinner BTW

You forgot to type in uppercase.

Yea I should’ve

 

[I Can’t See My Forehead]

Lol what a low rat cheating and abusing dropshots to win because he cant win in another way 🤣

Pathetic Fraudovic as usual, I hope Carrotboy will crush him.

Everyone knows I can’t stand Pencilhead either but the drop shot is a valid tactic and Shitrev has consistently shown to be clueless against them.

 

[I Can’t See My Forehead]

Maybe he crushed your hopes today but he`s better than all of them.

No he’s not, the others wouldn’t lose so convincingly to an almost 40 year old in a clay slam
