The most complete performance I have seen from him was in 2012 Vs Murray at the Australian Open. Murray didnt play a bad match but wall mode was on and he won a couple of games each set. As the commentators said that level is an honour to watch, what is great about Novak is he goes for his shots. It was nice what he said about Alcaraz but I think this defeat will haunt Alcaraz for a while, there's a million ways Djokovic can win a point all Alcaraz has is a puny wee drop shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the ATP have put it into posterity as "UE" - an unforced error. I'm sure I've recognised somewhere on this thread that, at their level, Djokovic, Alcaraz et al find a way to force these unforced errors out of their opposition but the way that rally was going and the position in which Djoko had played his shot, that final thump from Alco was nearer to unforced than forced. My only criticism with the Tweet is the hyperbollocks of it being rally of the century. It wasn't even rally of the day as Sinner and Medvedev played out two 29-shot jobs that were of similar quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito's not quite back to 100% while Novak has (as he tends to do these days) grown into the tournament. There was really only ever going to be one winner. I suspect the same for this evening. Sinner's playing a level above Alcaraz at the moment but Djoko will be on better form than he was in the group game. The crowd could be the difference. Djoko's had plenty of crowds booing against him but this Italian lot aren't just against Djoko - they're passionately (oops: Italian stereotype!) for the guy with the German name and ginger hair.

I P Knightley Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Davis Cup this afternoon on iPlayer - GB vs Serbia. The pairings will pitch Jack Draper with their second seed, (probably Djere) so that Norrie will be sacrified at the Djokovic altar. Draper is good enough to beat Djere but Norrie's a flake so the singles should be shared. In the doubles, we've got two of the top 10 players with Grand Slam successes and ATP tour finals under their belts - therefore more likely to be able to tough it out if needed. Reports are that there are around 5,000 Brits there to give it a bit of a home tie feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The (Pass the) Dutchies in doubles decider with Italy, who have popped Jannick Sinner into their dubs team despite having no track record and Italy having Simone Bolelli (who's been top 10) available. Meanwhile, the Dutch have Koolhof (top 10) but left Rojer (top 20) off the court in favour of Griekspoor who is somewhere round 100 in the doubles ranking. I wonder what the logic is there? Is it that Koolhof and Rojer both prefer to receive in the deuce court or something? Anyway, I'm rooting for the Dutchies as I think they'd be an easier oppo should GB win later this evening.
