djokovic has one of these mug matches very often. i expect a very one-sided affair tomorrow when boris calls his german doctor buddies.

Reminds me of the Anderson match. Really big servers are actually a bit of a threat to Djokovic on the right court (and I believe Court 1 plays quicker than Centre, which is where both this match and last year's match took place). Still expect him to deal with Querrey, especially since he can lose his nerve in the big moments.

Some players are still in the 2nd round which means its impossible for the tournament to get back on schedule by middle sunday. Assuming the tournament doesn't play middle sunday, some 3rd round matches will be played on Monday

Djokovic paying off the clouds

wasn't the anderson match suspended before the fifth set? i would say that was actually beneficial for anderson since he was losing fast. this one is for djokovic.

Djokovic is going to have no problem beating Querry now. So crazy that 2 years in a row a rain delay will save his ass.
John Dunbar

he was winning against anderson when the rain delay came. without it i don't think the fifth set would have been that close.

I'm sure he does. Right now betting sites will give $2.20 for a $1 bet on Querrey winning
John Dunbar
correct about everything
yes, but more importantly, querrey is aware that he is going to tank the last three sets.

you and smellycat think alike
Federer through in 3 easy sets in under 90 minutes
Rounds 2 and 3 were much better than round 1

Stan the Man lost to DelPo? Is it the Year of DelPo again?
Nope. His forehand was ace but his wrist problems have really hampered his backhand to the extent that the only shot he plays is a cross court slice from that side.

if djokovic loses and italy beats germany, tomorrow would be the greatest day in sport history. alas, nothing so good and beautiful can happen in this wicked world.
John Dunbar

they're trying to figure out how they can justify moving djokovic to centre court.

So I was at work all day and didn't get to see anything. People who watched today: is Querrey gonna pull the upset? I've watched a few minutes of the match just now and his serving was so on point.

Hmm why wouldn't they move to centre court under the roof and lights given the curfew is 23:00....?
Why would Querrey agree to play on a slower court?
They almost never move courts for a match.

The momentum was with him and they absolutely have moved matches, although I accept it's the exception rather than the rule.
John Dunbar

federer was still playing on centre court when the play was suspended.

the only thing that gives any hope that tennis can be saved today is that 6-1 set. against anderson, djokovic lost the first two sets in tiebreaks, which can happen to anyone when playing a big server on grass. but here djokovic was just rubbish at the end. we can only hope he has the flu or something with all energy sapped out when the play resumes.
