Djokovic is looking in supreme form. Down the line backhand working like a charm on approach, as well as , a looping high ball. And super precision on the forehand strikes. Will take a certain Sinner or Alcaraz to stop him .
If Djoko is playing im gonna be on him, guy won me 25$ on Stake as usual, the GOAT of tennis still wins against the young guys, takes some serious discipline to stay at the top of tennis for how long he has done, respect.
Mpetshi Perricard serves like Ivo Karlovic on steroids - AND he actually moves very well, has great groundstrokes and good improvisations. He could be the first big test for Nole this season.
I'm putting money on GMP to win. Man scares me more than any player outside of Sinner and Alcaraz. Wouldn't mind losing $50 to see Novak whoop the giant's ass, but the $250 from a GMP win is a good consolation prize ;) Going to be good to see if Novak still has that "best returner of all time" ability to neutralize possibly the best serve in tennis history (then again, just 16 months ago, he 3-0'd Shelton, who has IMO the 2nd best serve in the world). No shade to other fantastic servers like Jannik, Zverev, Hubi -- they have consistency and placement with great speed, but GMP and Shelton generate 140 mph first serves with regularity.
@@shadowagent6051 Wow. Just wow. Nole, Nadal, and Fed (who never had any drug abuse scandal) given the same age will bagel Sinner at crampitos in any surface. Get bent.
Who Said Our Man Would Not Be Back. Finished Too Old. Past His Prime Not Interested. Well, The Man Is Back. Whether He Lost Or Not Is Not The Point, For Me. THE MAN IS BACK. I For One, Am Happy He Is Gracing Our Tennis Courts Again.
It is amazing to watch so many toilsome matches among the powerful competitors, undoubtedly escalating the whole combat within this continuum. Even though it is the first ATP tourney of 2025 season, it always makes me thrilled before AO.
Yeah. My interests shifted away from tennis during the last months of '24. But I see myself getting sucked back in again, and I think I'm happy about that. 😊
Solid play from both Nole and Tiafoe!! Even thought Nick K. lost, he's looking healthy and playing really well and looked dialed in. Novak's movement is amazing for his age! Just amazing talent out there!
Nole at his surgical best. Tho Rinky put up a good fight. Perricard gave Kyrgios a run n triumphed with a power game. Francis n Walton battled, with Francis earning a deserved victory. Exciting tennis that promises to get moreso as the competition progresses❤
I'm glad to see Kyrgios back and warming up for grand slam. Novak is amayzing. Precision and consistens of his shots is the key to win at liest one grand slam again. He seems to be back with it again. His movement in his age is crayzee.
That was so clean from Novak👌 If he made an error (rare), he didn’t even seem remotely bothered by it. Honestly, did he even break a sweat once? This was like a practice match for him. If he keeps up this form, he can beat anyone, no doubt about it.
I saw the whole match yesterday. Although He never had weaknesses in his game but in 2024 season his forehand was at times bothering in crunch/crucial moments. Yesterday it seemed has Novak has worked on his forehand depth & speed. He was hitting the ball really clean and deep. I hope Novak re-discovers his top level against top players at the slams. Currently Jannik & Carlos will be his toughest challenges till he plays tennis. Particularly Jannik is gonna give him some difficult time whenever he's gonna face Novak.
He is a true artist of the court, a master! The Serbian Orthodox Church ought to elevate his status to Kir Novak in recognition of being a master of his profession. It was commonly done centuries back, of course, for people who have distinguished themselves in their craft, science, music, etc.....
No hyperbole, GMP is very likely to go down as the greatest server of all time. If he continues on this trajectory and stays healthy for the next 10-20 years, it won't even be close.
Top things to look for in 2025: 1. Will Djokovic hang with Alcaraz and Sinner. 2. Can Djokovic get 25 and become all time leader. 3. Will a Murray type player emerge to make things more interesting. Also look out for this Arnaldi.
Dude, he’s been out for awhile and has no seeds in these tournaments, he’s gonna play the best players early on. Kygs did rlly well against someone who will absolutely be a top 10 if not top 5 player this season.
Mate Federer took Djokovic to 5 sets in Wimbledon 2019 where Djokovic equivalent age of that moment is FO/RG of 2025. Also battling injuries Federer reached the QF in Wimbledon 2021. The equivalent being Djokovic doing that in 2027 (he most probably is retired then). I doubt Djokovic would take a 6 year younger version of himself to 5 sets (6 in number of games since they didn't play a super tie break then). In fact, Alcaraz trashed Djokovic in the Wimbledon final of 2024 (and won in 2023 whilst Alcaraz still in his tennis adolescenti phase). Djokovic is great but peopes memories are very short and selective. He just won a match against Hijikate at an Atp250, nothing to hype on about. It's a decent win but hardly telling anything about how this year will be.
Only you obsessed delusional people see this glory hound as the "GOAT". Being the "GOAT" takes more than just titles, it also takes influence and impact, neither are in favor of your lord.
I would be shocked if GMP doesn't reach world #3 at minimum within the next 3 years. If the guy stays injury-free, the serve is just way too big to be broken -- his career is going to come down to a hell of a lot of tiebreaks, but his return game is already probably top-50. Having a top-1 service game and a top-50 return game is a top-8 player, again, at minimum. Obviously rooting for Novak, but not surprised if GMP blows him off court. Dude is a freak. Don't really like him -- don't like most servebots -- but the talent, even beyond the serve, is undeniable. Can see him giving even Alcaraz a hard time (Sinner of 2024, if he keeps up his level, would dispose of him easily with the godlike return game he has going on right now). My top-8 next gen guys (under 25): Jannik, Carlos, GMP, Shelton, Draper, Fils, Mensik, Lehecka/Rune. Sport's gonna be in good hands post-Novak, and post-lost-gen Zverev/Medvedev/Rublev/Fritz/Stefanos. 1 Slam between the 5 of them is crazy work -- blame Nole and Rafa, and then blame Sinner and Carlos...poor guys lol
My godness I hate Tiafoe so bad.. I mean take a look of his glance while reaching the net at the end… Means everything on the guy. Thanks to Walton ignoring his hug at the end, a joy to watch😂

Mpetshi Perricard needs to work on tennis intelligent points. He has the wide variety in shots, it's just a matter of building up his game, in a less energy consuming manner. I saw him not take many advantages given to him. Too many free points for Kyrgios, this should have been an easy 2 set victory for him.

he didn't abuse his body with years of roids like nadal. Even Fed was pretty decent till the finals of the 2019 wimbledon.
