Djokovic

[vernonk]

Djokovic, master of gamesmanship, makes out he's injured every time he plays Andy Murray....and Murray reacts badly to it every time. I will never respect Djokovic for his mind games but I will never understand why Murray can't deal with it. Your opinion please

[Smowball]

How is he allowed to bounce the ball so many times?? Drives me mad!

[New Judge]

He has 25 seconds between points. He can do what he likes to his balls in that time.

Did you really mean to phrase it like that, NJ? ☺☺☺

[DaisyNonna]

Oooer!

[Cloverjo]

I also get annoyed by his "fake" injuries or fatigue, and his incessant ball-bouncing.
It was good to see them so friendly with each other at the net. With a lot of the women, the loser often slaps the winner's hand and stomps off.

"Did you really mean to phrase it like that, NJ? ☺☺☺"

Sure did. I thought I'd lighten the mood!☺

On seeing their handshake in slow-mo it didn't look so friendly. I suspect a fake smile and sarcy comment from Murray. He's clearly fed up of Djok's mind games including fake injuries, but he needs to learn to handle it all if he's to stay ahead of him in the rankings

[Cloverjo]

Ah, perhaps you're right vernonk. I switched off as soon as they'd shaken the umpires hand.
He really does need to learn to deal with the mindgames, especially with Australia coming up.

[Butterbun]

He needs Lendl back. He seem to cope well when he's around. Hope he'll be there for the Aussie open.

[Cloverjo]

Divebuddy, I agree he is very gracious whether winning or losing, but he does look as if he's about to collapse sometimes and then makes a great recovery.

[Butterbun]

Aw, thanks for the BA vernonk. I haven't had one of them for quite some time.x

[vernonk]

Divebuddy & cloverjo, Djok is as good at acting as he is at tennis, whether he's feigning injuries or feigning good sportsmanship. He knows how to win over a crowd

[-SharonA-]

I agree, annoyed with Murray for falling for this. He has gotta learn.

[Smowball]

Agree with you all. Still think he needs to give his balls a bit less bouncing!! ; )
