The break he's had will catch up with him as the tournament goes on. Hopefully he does and it goes to 5 sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided he remains consistent he should remain at Number 1 for the calendar year! Massive chance for him to win the Australian Open, he handled the pressure well at Wimbledon when Isner put Novak out, hopefully he'll manage it just as well in this tournament too. It was Sam querry that beat him at Wimbledon, but you are spot on though with your assessment in my eyes. JRodgA2k8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect that mate but Fed is way better than this .I wouldn't be surprised if he won it from this position .With him ,his natural fitness will help him Want Nadal ,Then Murray but I think Fed this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly after matches he always seems sporting but during them he's a dirty bastard. I really, really can't go Djokovic at all!

That has nothing to do with being a bad loser . It's part of the psychology in a one on one match up . And Novak is no 1 in the world at it .At his peak .

KingKirk 25,633 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 eurosport doing ma nut in with the ott reaction to to how good Fed is playing.

As soon as he had plainly, observably dropped down a level, it became obligatory to claim he has never played better whenever he plays well. Ridiculous. He'll hit four aces in a game against some Slovenian teenager and Andrew Castle will be like THIS IS THE BEST HE HAS EVER PLAYED NO I DIDNT WATCH HIM IN 2006 SHUT UP I HAVE A PRODUCT TO SELL.

JamieD 18,932 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 On the whole "is Djokovic genuinely a good sportsman thing?", it seems like a weird debate. Every great sportsman hates losing, they are all basically sociopaths, they all struggle not to be a sore loser. The ones, like Djokovic, who at least pretend to be happy for their opponent, who applaud their shots etc, that shows he at least cares about looking like a normal, likeable person. Despite all the success, money, fame, he actually cares whether people like him (mostly because they don't). I've never understood why people think this is a BAD thing.
