As a Novak fan , we love you andy Roddick ❤
The crowd is also going crazy when they are on court! Rafa and Roger will be missed alot
When I saw Novak playing Tabilo, I didn't know about the bottle incident, but it was obvious that something was off about Novak. He looked like he was walking/running through mud. I started wondering if he was purposely holding back, and I just thought he deserved to lose.
Then I saw his press conference where he talked about the bottle and the aftermath, and it clearly had taken its toll on him. I wonder if he got checked for a concussion, because the way he played looked a lot like someone with a concussion. Even a minor one can dull your mental acuity. Hope it's nothing serious.
He has been off all year. Where have you been?!! He has not made it to a single final so far in 2024, with one slam and five Masters 1000 tournaments already behind us, among other tournaments.
@@roxy0608 I know exactly what his performance has been this year. This match was different/worse. I guess it's hard for people on YT to understand that nuance exists.
The fact that most of people don't know Novak was attacked and injured proves that it wasn't accident.
We know who controls media.
@@FrankRanocchia how U know it was empty ? Even empty flask is heavy .
Andy Roddick, great analysis. For Rafa retirement now, for Novak at the end of the year, is the best solution, for both of them.
Great analysis from you from the comfort of your couch and based on zero acumen! Don’t quit your day job!

Andy, just a question: what's your opinion on the changes brought into Novak's game by the new coach. For one: I've noticed he's trying to take the ball earlier on return and it does not work. He has looked awkward on return. Why change return stance when you're already the best at it and returning well? I don't believe the new coach is doing him any favours. He might mean well, but it's as clear as day that it's not working. This is just an aside, not overlooking lack of game time, match fitness, and so forth.
roddick.... the greatest server ever.
I lose interest in these 10+ day grand prix tournaments- forget they're still being played half the time because they're so stretched out- especially if the stars are gone. Maybe that's why Novak and Nadal are losing- they can't get a rhythm.
They’re losing because A) Rafa played a top 10 player which means no place to hide his half gone legs B) Novak is not interested in these tournaments anymore. He’s trying to add a couple of majors if he can and will call it a day when he either gets them or he’s not able to get anywhere close to them anymore.
😂hardly mate, they know how to pace themselves for a slam.. one and two in history for slams remember?
@@mugsietoo2122 no- I had absolutely no idea of something that's been talked about 5 million times on every tennis broadcast for 10 years... thanks for setting me straight.
N 24 slams zero gold medals. Rafa 22 slams 1 gold Medal which would you pick?
So now gold medals are more important than slams? 😂
Just as important. You only get 1 opportunity ever 4 years
@@lbshaw.4720 an olympic medal is not as important as a slam.
Novak Djokovic ❤
Is cooked
To be fair Tabilo is in the semis and has looked great AFTER Djokovic. So maybe give him more respect than what you're giving him.
Yeah no dude, we are talking about Novak Djokovic so no we can't give Tabilo more credit
I think Novak will aim to play very well in RG as the olympics will be played there as well
I believe Novak lost the motivation
The competition is no longer what it was before, there are no longer the big3 players along with 20 potential players with a winning mentality putting pressure on your back.
The golden era of tennis is over and i feel that Djokovic no longer has the hunger for competition that he use to.
Who were the 20 potential players with a winning mentality? Berdych and Dimitrov?
@@Henman5 huh? Murray, Hewitt, Roddick, Dadvydenko, Gonzalez, Wawrinka, Nalbandian, Ferrer, Del Potro, Monfils, Simon, Tsonga, Berdych, Ferrero, Cilic, Ljubicic, Soderling, Verdasco, Haas, Yuzhny, Stepanek... everyplayer have a different style and was hard to defeat.
Rafa is the Undisputed Peoples Champion, proved again by those fans in Rome. 🐐
ok still DJOKOVIC goat so cry
Roger is a bigger people's champion. Borg and rafa are probably 2nd and 3rd.
Novak is the pure tennis GOAT and rafa is probably top 5 too 10 all time.
"UNDISPUTED peoples champion"? Laugh in King Roger
@@user-wd7ue1wd6ron his best day, Novak would never win 14 titles at a single slam. He was only able to win ONE slam in his first EIGHT YEARS on tour, as opposed to Rafa who won NINE in the same timeframe. Rafa remains the youngest heat player to win a career grand slam and a career golden slam. With all the injuries he has had, Rafa has made it to more QF and SF matches than Novak. And, their win-loss ratio and head to head are practically identical! Nobody cares that Novak has two more slams at this point except Novak fans, because slams are not the only element that goes into GOAT discussion.
@@roxy0608 Great analysis from you from the comfort of your couch and based on zero acumen! Don’t quit your day job!
Some players are dependent och having a coach in the stands. Djokovic had Vajda there for many years and let’s not even talk about Ivanisevic. Don’t you think parting with Ivanisevic has had a huge mental effect on him?
Andy what do you think of the Federer Nadal Wimbledon 08 final??
Nadal has won the French on one leg. F beast
Novak has zero motivation at this point in his career. He has all the records, biggest rivals retired or almost retired and proven he can beat the younger generation when it matters at an advanced age for tennis. Win a slam and retire immediately to end on top
Well, not true. One more grand slam to overcome Margaret Court and have the most majors ever, female or male. Olympic gold from singles tournament. His last chance this year plus played at Roland Garros to boot.
Are you Dumb He's playing women or Men's tennis
@@jooohan what other sport do they compare men's records with Women's records as equal? If Novak played women's tennis, he'd have 80 Grand Slams (20 straight calendar slams), 160 M1000 titles, 4 gold medals, 1000+ weeks as #1.
@@pbalajiusaf “he’s got the most singles grand slams in men’s tennis history” or “he’s got the most singles grand slams in tennis history”. Which one sounds better to you? It does to Novak, too, you can bet on it. Anyway, you stated Novak has zero motivation at this point. I countered with at least two reasons why that’s not true. You can argue the most grand slams part. The second reason, however, is quite hard to dispute.
@@jooohan I think he clearly cares about the Olympic gold, I doubt he remotely cares or even knows how many grand slams Margaret Court won.
I think it is the worry (both rational and irrational) following the hit of the bottle on his head that made him lose that way against tabilo. Like a "bad luck" tail, the superstitious possibility that the incident indicates him the "end" of his domination in tennis. It is obviously an event that could have hurt the mental and physical mechanics of many tennis players. This is hugh precision. A grain of salt that transforms the dynamics of a champion at the end of his career into a bad one. Maybe is it temporary. but it might stay a bit in his head "rent free" like one can sometimes be annoyed by the sound of a clock in the background. In a high performance situation like a top tennis career, this can change a lot of things. It will take him some mental strength to make this temporary and to rebound. No idea if he will be able or not to come back at his very top
They're both finished. So is Murray. So is Wawrinka. So is Thiem. It's over. Tennis fans have a hard time letting go.
Lets see how next 3 slams play out. Novak made semis in AO with the flu so that wasnt the worst result. If he gets knocked out before quarters in next few slams sure it doesnt look good for Novak. But until I see 3 or 4 bad slam results where hes losing early its not over.
I know whats probably happening with Djokovic, novak has achieved everything he desired for and more, broke every possible record and more. Has become an undisputed GOAT of tennis, andbhea seeing his greatest rival retiring, his counterpart retiring, these situations do make it a bit hard to find the motivation.
Your face. Omg
Demon?

@@southernsavagethejoshclark9083 Thank you...
People dont know Novak is attacked and injured ?
Another proof it was planned, we know who controls media.
Imagine if rafa was attacked it would be 24 /7 on tv .
First round in Rome Novak destroyed Moutet , who is not joke . Then after being injured loses and fedals conclude its father time 😂
Much like Tiger woods. Thinks he can just show up to majors and win. He did that before his wreck. Not enough practice.
Atleast Novak has a ton of hair.
Dream on Andy, your never ending stream of hate towards Novak is unbelievable, your boy Rafa is finished so choke on it!!
*Someone not licking Djokovic's balls*
Djokovic fans: PISS OFF you hater, Novak is the GOAT!!! Idemo Nole!!!
You guys can't just relax, can you?
He regularly says Novak is the 🐐
yep. Andy always carries a gripe and undertone against Novak. 😂 but still I appreciate him at least calling Novak THE GOAT. Andy ain't perfect but he has realized he doesn't have what it takes to be a champion and he knows Novak is THAT GUY. THE GOAT.
dream on sucka, chokeovic pussied out in 2009 AO as a defending champion. pwned by a past his prime roddick lulz
But Rafa is not the true Champion! We all know that! Yes he is well liked and popular like Roger but the fact of the matter is he is still not the Goat! Wishing it does not make it so! We look at the stats not who is popular and well loved! Novak is way ahead of Roger and Nadal like it or not and he has moved on! so should you!
lose the hat and shave your face and maybe more people would start showing up Andy
