JudyJudyJudy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Rusedski is always very complimentary and clearly admires Novak . Great commentator too. Just said what needed to be said “ Novak would have won the Aussie open if he had competed” ! Brilliant ! Well said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Skacel Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Djokovic finished 2000 points behind Alcaraz. considering he wasnt allowed to play in 2 grand slams and 3 masters events which equals 7000 points, he done fairly well to end the year 5th.

Plus he never got his 2,000 for winning at Wimbledon. Rusedski sounded as though he had the wrong teeth in. Perhaps he was struggling to cope with the stupefying inanity of Caroline Whittaker and had chewed out the inside of his cheeks. But he's bang on: Novak would have won the Oz had he been eligible. He not likely to be crying over spilt milk, though, and will just go hard at it in 2023 and pick up at least 2 slams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood but had points been awarded, Djoko would have been on Carlito's heels at #2 even without thinking about the tournies for which he was ineligible. It's been a weird year. Back to normal from January. I agree with JudyJamesJudy; don't think Rafa will do the French. Could be Ruud's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She probably changed coach three times while I was typing the above paragraph. Indeed. Well done on winning Secret Santa by the way, Jonesy - I didn't follow it this year so this was the first I learned about it. You're such a winner!

I P Knightley Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 They've put out the draw for the Aussie Open and it looks like the tie of the round could be Jack Draper v Rafa Nadal. Draper's been on great form over the last few months and stands a chance to beat Rafa if Rafa comes in slightly rusty. Draper's going well in his warm up tournament so should go into the Open hot. Kokkinakis v Fognini could be a good one for mentalness. Murray's been drawn against Matteo Berretini who should, on paper, pump Murray but has also been fairly inactive recently. Murray may get a set but I'd expect Berretini to get past him. Kyle Edmund is back in the draw. A tough ask after so much time out to play against Jannick Sinner. Djokovic has got what looks like a favourable draw until he might come up against Kyrgios (or Rune or Evans or Rublev or...) in the QF. 20 hours ago, jonesy said: Wonder if the hormonal imbalances of pregnancy will make her emotional and difficult?

Thanks for that update . Yes agree re Rafa v Draper . Novak will have a challenge too but since it’s best of 5 sets I can’t see him not winning .

I P Knightley Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Both Draper and Norrie have made it through to SFs in their warm up tournies.
