Day 9 .... Wimby
Ok, now we know. _____________ 'No sense' in continuing - Djokovic At the post-match news conference, Djokovic said: "It is not the shoulder, it is the elbow that has kept bothering me for over a year and a half. "It is unfortunate that I had to finish Wimbledon in this way. If someone feels bad, it is me. "I tried. From yesterday, I tried to get it in the condition where I could play. "I could play with pain that was bearable for 30 minutes, but the serve and the forehand were shots where I could feel it the most and there was no sense [in continuing]." how many men retired? years of playing 5-set is killing them. There really is no reason to keep playing after losing 2 sets. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Jul Wed 12, 2017 12:59 pm, edited 1 time in total.
5 sets isn't killing Federer...#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#And in normal events they play sometimeseven more..#ed_op#br#ed_cl#2 events in two weeks... twice 5 matches... on average 2.5 sets per matches... 25 sets in two weeks.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Federer so far played 13 sets... with max 10 to go...#ed_op#br#ed_cl#An athlete who takes care of himself can deal with 5 set format.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#If Federer or Nadal have an issue, then they take a 6 month break. Novak kept on playing vor 18 months with it... bad decision. He and Andy may be out for a long, long time... Last edited by Graveller on Jul Thu 13, 2017 8:30 am, edited 1 time in total. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Fed and Nadal took their injury breaks, and now it's Novak and Andy's turn. They'll be back strong as ever, just like the other two!! Who else will step up in their absence?? Stan did it last year, and I'm hoping Cilic will do it now. We can forget about Monfils, Tsonga and Dimitrov, but Sasha & Thiem are promising!! #ed_op#font color="brown"#ed_cl#@ #ed_op#b#ed_cl#djmm1962#ed_op#/b#ed_cl#:#ed_op#/font#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl# #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Zverev, Thiem, Raonic, Pouille,.. woudl not mind to see all of the min the top5 #ed_op#br#ed_cl# "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" |
