[YeoShuey]

Thompson not doing good at all this set.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Not looking sluggish either

 

[Drummond]

1 set up

Much better FH tonight

He’s still looking well below his best, but I guess it’s round 2 and he doesn’t need to be. But I don’t love what I’m seeing to be honest.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Oh dear Garcia lost and Badosa won another match.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Was down 2 sets to nil in the US Open and won.



Joker always gets it done.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He’s still looking well below his best, but I guess it’s round 2 and he doesn’t need to be. But I don’t love what I’m seeing to be honest.

I think the younger guys coming up are starting to get to Novak

I think his dominance is starting to slow down

 

[JamisonRun40]

Rublev sets up a date with Korda in the third round. He played so much better than his first round. Very focus and his first serve was working and no fades out. Woohoo.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh dear Garcia lost and Badosa won another match.

Garcia did what she had to do- smack Osaka

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He’s still looking well below his best, but I guess it’s round 2 and he doesn’t need to be. But I don’t love what I’m seeing to be honest.

At the match he’s moving so much better and the down the line BH starting to work.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Carlos will beat Novak

If Carlos plays like he did against Gasquet that second set Novak is no chance

I think if Demon makes it to the matchup, he wins it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Poppy doing alright in the second set

Popyrin is treading water as a player ATM. Has the weapons to be higher up in the rankings but is all over the place with consistency. Will play a good 15 mins than drop right off for 20 mins. Your not beating any decent player with form like that. Not a youngster anymore either he's 24. He's similar to Thanasi. Similar style both tall mid 20s but both are underwhelming as players right now unfortunately.

Novak is cruising. Barely trying. Not a true reflection ATM really.

ADM and Thompson our best male players imo

Gasquet was cooked, not hard to look good in those cistumances. And Novak won’t even make it to Alcaraz at this rate, Sinner would cream him. I rate Shelton a good chance also, Novak is that ordinary so far.

Lol 3 FH UE’s in one game, good stuff Novak.

I'm going early but I reckon Novak is slowing down wouldnt surprise if by this time next year he gets over taken by younger guys

Played too late in the season and started too early, shouldn’t have played Davis Cup or United Cup. Hopefully takes a nice long rest after AO.

Way too early. He will slow down eventually but I don’t know if that is now or will be later.

 

[Munich]

Keep going Pop

True I just thing the.younger guys aren't as imitated to facing Novak now. what Prizmic did the other night would them confidence that Novak is beatable

Only because there much more dependable and solid as players. Both Thanasi and Alexei have higher ceilings but we rarely see it. This is good from him right now. Taking advantage of a Djokovic half asleep. Needs to do it on a consistent basis week to week to fulfill his potential.
