Jokers first serve has deserted him.

How tragic

 

[Shell]

0-30

 

[Shell]

Finally gets one

 

[Shell]

**** me Revs

 

[Shell]

YES. Now get the break

 

[Shell]

 

[Shell]

Why can't you just serve like that from the beginning of the game..

 

[Shell]

Finally. JFC

 

[Shell]

OUT. Suck an egg

 

[Shell]

What a turnaround. From 0-40

 

[Shell]

And we are DONE

 

[Shell]

I don't even care how he goes thru. Well done.

 

[Shell]

I thought he was legit stuffed after the first couple of games. He was breathing heavily

 

[Shell]

Well said Revs

Wow he quit! I missed the start of the match but when I started watching it was really strange because they were just hitting it to each other like a couple of players at the local tennis club. I couldn't understand Zverev's tactics.

I don't think he would have quit if he had won the set.

 

[Voula]

I miss Nadal.

So do I. Was just wearing his cap while out walking.

I walked off to get a coffee and missed it too! Had to rush back to the tv when I realised what I was hearing..

I am so rapt

Is this like early career Novak - keeps playing while winning, but early on he seemed to retire a few times at the Aus Open when he fell behind in a match

I reckon revs just wanted the points to go long. As long as possible.

Was just saying that to my mum that he used to quit alot.

 

[Shell]

How the hell can McEnroe say he saw no signs lol. Wtaf

 

[Shell]

Within the first couple games he was breathing heavily, stuffed. Imagine if it has been hot conditions too

 

[Shell]

Now. We need Ben to win tonight. Give us the best final with two who haven't won one yet.

Re: Novak match retirements:

=5. Novak Djokovic, Benoit Paire and Mikhail Kukushkin – 13 retirements​

Ten of Djokovic’s 13 retirements came during the first 10 years of his career with only three coming after 2015. In fact, he hasn’t retired from a match since the 2019 US Open when he was booed after throwing in the towel during his round of 16 clash against Stan Wawrinka with the score 6-4, 7-5, 2-1 in the Swiss’ favour.


From an article in Feb 2024

Eleven active players with the most retirements: Novak Djokovic joint fifth

Which active men's tennis player has lost the most matches by retirement? Does anyone want to take a guess?

Yeah tough luck re. What you've spent on the ticket. Tennis is ALWAYS a risk you may not see anything or part of a match. It's not a football match
