Well, he did say if Alcaraz won the second set last match, he would have retired there.

Probably knew that he was no chance of winning against Zverev today.

I feel it’s unfair that Carlos didn’t get through in the end…

 

[YeoShuey]

Shelton in the mens version of the Iga outfit is not a good sign

 

[Xtreme]

Shelton needs a hair cut if he wants to be taken seriously

Just wasn't good enough on the night, ah well

 

[FreoRicci]

Classless plastic tennis fans. Disgraceful.

Probably all would’ve cried me and cheered off Federer.

 

[RCAB]

Watching the set point again and the basic Djokovic volley at the net, it looked like he decided mid-point to give up. He deliberately put that into the net.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

He had a muscle tear. Had one before, very painful. Can understand why he needed to stop…

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well come on Jannik

Bagels and donuts please then you can have a nap

 

[Some Idiot]

Bit worried this will be all too comfortable for Sinner, hope Shelton brings his best

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Porbably will put more a challenge then Demon

 

[NeutralFan]

I feel it’s unfair that Carlos didn’t get through in the end…

Same thing when Rafa pulled out of Wimbledon semis against Kyrgios and people were saying poor Fritz.

Alcaraz still should've beat him and didn't, Fritz should've beat Nadal and didn't.

 

[carlton_99]

Come on Shelton

 

[Xtreme]

Sinner calling for the cream already

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

The severity would've been worth for three sets? Not just pulling out and resting and taking SF points? Fit enough to not pull out but injury severe enough to where an extra set is the deal breaker?

It's obvious to everyone now he carried something for the past couple matches but at least he used MTO's against Alcaraz y'know and came back in typical Djokovic fashion, it's this pre-planned agreement about how much he'll play with zero intentions on having MTO's is what's strange to me. If this was a known thing for all of us beforehand that "Djokovic will retire if he loses the first set today" then my bad.

Novak takes an MTO amd is criticised.

Novak doesn't take an MTO and is criticised.

The guy can't win!

 

[carlton_99]

Shelton not going to die wondering. Love it

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm going for Sinner.

 

[carlton_99]

That's it! Has to be aggressive to have any chance.

He has a billion-kagillion dollars

He'll survive in his Ducktales money pool

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Wake up Sinner

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

This the kind of tennis I wanted to see from Demon what Shelton has produced so far

What a let down

100%. It's his only chance. Aggressive play and lots of variety with his serve and the slice.

 

[YeoShuey]

This the kind of tennis I wanted to see from Demon what Shelton has produced so far

What a let down

Two very different types of players

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Two very different types of players

Demon said he was going to try something diffrent and didn't

 

[Drummond]

Well come on Jannik

Bagels and donuts please then you can have a nap

Why the hatred of Shelton? Because he has, gulp, confidence in himself?!
