Novak = taller, younger version of Lleyton Hewitt, from Serbia. One-dimensional slugger who bores Federer into playing his worst tennis.
He is too stubborn to change his tactics against a baseline robot like Nole and he's paying the price in these big matches he should be winning.
Jim Courier made an interesting comment about his racket, that as he slows down and loses some power he'll need a more powerful racket. If Djokovic used Federer's racket which is essentially the same one Sampras used, he'd feel like he went from a rifle to a pea shooter.
Anyway, last time Federer lost in the semis here to Djokovic he reached another 8 Grand Slam finals in a row, winning 4 of them. Djokovic by comparison is like a journeyman. Hasn't won another slam since.

He is my countryman, so i always cheer for him, but as a person, i don't like him one bit(and esp. his family). Why-a 1000 words wouldn't be enough.
About his game-he is good, very good, but all players today are journeymen, simply becoz Roger and Rafa are present, they take almost all Slams. If it weren't for them, many Slams would be between Novak and Andy, and some others of course..bb.com, a place that turned Deadlift into a forearm isolation exercise

Understandable.
He hangs around the last 8 in slams a lot but hasn't won one in 3 years. He is a consistent player, very solid, but still a baseline robot like Lleyton Hewitt.
There is no flair in his game. Nadal is not as graceful as Federer, but he still does things that are incredible on the court and plays amazing tennis. Djokovic on the other hand is like a ball machine, pounding away with the backhand, running side to side trying to extract the error. Hewitt was the same, only he had more success (No. 1 for 2 years, 2 slams, etc.)

+Djokovic is a very annoying player. Can't stand the 50 ball bounces between every serve, the chest pounding (with no chest) and his loud mouth obnoxious fans with no class.
Hope Murray smokes him in the final if he survives Ferrer which he should. At least Murray plays an interesting game enjoyable to watch.

Lol, fans... Try his father, same description. The very next day, after winning the Davis cup he started a campaign to become the director of the National tennis federation. Fortunately he failed. And you didn't mention excuses-there's always something wrong with Novak
,breathing, stomach, virus, heat, injuries... Today it was the shoes. He used to be a good kid, he changed dramatically. Whole family did.
Anyways, i think he will win this year, he is in too good a form.bb.com, a place that turned Deadlift into a forearm isolation exercise

I agree with Dom, he's good at what he does but is boring as Hell to watch. His game is mechanical and robotic, much like Lendl's used to be. Last year's final between Murray and Fed showcased tennis shot making and artistry at its very best. Well constructed cat and mouse points. Not just hitting from corner to corner, like the woman's game has evolved into.
The most interesting part of watching Djokovic play is waiting to see when one of those physical aliments will surface. He sure does make a great tennis drama queen.Last edited by SquatTilYouDrop; 01-27-2011 at 09:09 AM.

very nice job!!! thank you
lol
Shake weight is the stupidest invention ever! I was at the bar talking to my old highschool buddy a month ago, talking about "working out" he told me he got a shake weight I busted out laughing and told him how stupid that thing was, he tried to defend it but if the shake weight was really that magical it would be everywhere - he stopped buying me drinks
I like watching my poop float, and I already poo like 3+ times a day so it doesn't matter
Speaking of PooI will teach you how to turn your pee and poo red , purple or pink (NATURALLY)
Great for a prank , on a friend or family member!
what you will need is Beets
eat them , lots of them
what you do is tell your friend who probably hasn't tried or doesn't eat beets that you found this recipe that makes them taste amazing and that you want them to try it, then spout of the health benefits they have!!
throw 9+ medium to big sized beets in a big pot turn heat on and once it starts boiling let it sit for 25 mins
then drain pot, under some cold water peel by hand the beets, (after boiled the skin comes off really easy)
then cut in quarters or small pieces, lather on butter (or olive oil) - throw on pepper, salt, seasonings of your desire then serve, and try to make your friend eat AS much as possible the more the better
then within 24 hours if they have eaten enough they will piss a dark red to dark purple color which believe me the first time you do this , its very alarming! they will think something is wrong with them and be scared!
then you should tell them, oh yea btw beets make you piss and poo purple! lulz achieved~~~2011 Mens First place winner of the ERGOGENIX QBM Transformation Challenge~~~
