Is it me or is Djokovic lacking a bit of leg drive on serve?

He's been falling over a bit, yeah - I wonder whether he's tossing a bit lower than usual due to the wind

Wonder if Alacaraz’s age can outlast Djokovic’s fitness, could be a 4-5 hour match if this levels continues.

What are you supposed to do with this file? Nothing happens to trying open it as a stream or otherwise via VLC

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been watching! When I do CTRL+N and then paste the link into the dialog box, it opens the stream and starts playing?

But if you’re not in the UK, it won’t work.

Alcaraz hasn't even played badly, Djokovic is just sucking the life out of the game. A fair way to go, though...

I would love a 5 setter!!

Umpire doing everything he can to not call Djokovic up, he’s taking the ****

Fire Wizard · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:32

Djokovic is certainly playing mind games with Alcaraz by taking so long on his serves. I don't know why the umpire isn't saying anything.

Alice In Wonderland · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:35

Novak being rude to the ball people.

ic1male · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:35

As long as I live, I’ll detest Djokovic.

They just showed the stats, Alcaraz on average taking over 25s too.

Guess because they both are and it's windy the Umpire is letting it go.

E: spell check, Alcaraz not Alcatraz :cry:

He's a bit of a Schumacher, absolutely brilliant but many never took to him.

I quite like him myself, haha. He is just a phenomenal player.

Alice In Wonderland · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:40

I thought that was really lovely of Alcaraz to wait at the net to see if Novak was ok when he slipped onto his back side!

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:41

Djokovic wins the second set, he’ll wrap up the third pretty quickly, Alcaraz wins the second set I’m expecting a medical timeout.

I like watching him play, certainly, but he is a bit of a nob. Like Ronnie O’Sullivan in snooker.

Robbo · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:43

Alcaraz can't be missing these easier shots...

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Jul 2023 at 15:44

Just get automatic lines call FFS.

I think to get to the top of any sport you have to be to a degree.

I hear Federer treads on ants and never closes field gates behind him.

I wonder what happened to all the cows he got given by the Swiss government, for winning each tournament?
