Don't you mean Djovak Novikic? LMAO, some ESPN baseball broadcaster called him that yesterday! So Novak took 2 Medical Timeouts to get what basically looked like a pedicure yet John McEnroe criticized Monfils for being unprofessional for junk-balling Novak in the first set of their SF match (a tactic that got Gael three additional games)?? Let's face it, Monfils or no Monfils, most of Nolé's matches have a bizarre aura about them. Case in point, this Men's Final!
Congratulations to Stan, even though he can't take his girlfriend Donna Vekic out for a drink to celebrate (until the return to Europe) but he saved us from having to endure another chest thumping, shirt-ripping, pec-cupping, strange celebration from Djokovic!
Congrats to one of my favorite Junior players to watch Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada who is the youngest Boy's Champion in Canadian history after winning the Boy's title at the US Open. Congrats to Kayla Day of the U.S. as well, who won the Girl's Title. I believe she actually won one round in the Women's Main Draw before getting knocked out and entering the Girl's tournament.
It's been a very strange year for tennis in every way, so it made a bizarre kind of sense to end at a tournament where neither number 1 actually won the title. Not happy about Serena but she's already great, has 22 Majors, nothing to prove to anyone and will probably reclaim the #1 ranking again sometime soon.
I caught the ESPN broadcaster….I thought idiot and changed the channel…..LOL. Novak was stalling for time. He was using sneaky tactics and I am glad Stan called him out on it. I couldn't take seeing Novak rip that shirt to see that awful chest of his if he won…..LOL. I thought this was one of the better US Open's on the men side with all of the 4 minus Joker in the finals and he only made it there due to so many walkovers.
I believe Jim Courier mentioned the Candian player Aliassime. Courier said he was the player to watch in the future because he had such a great game. Of course I won't drink the kool aid until I see his game. You know how they love to pimp average players…LOL
Back to Novak….I noticed his younger brother Jordi was there. Gawd does he look like a better version of Novak….LOL Supposedly his game is also much better than Nole. I wonder why he hasn't broken into the tour? I think I read where Nole wasn't helping his brother out where the tour was concerned. Maybe its pure brother rivalry …..
Jordi reminds me of Borna Coric….just look at the resemblance…...
Which is which…..LOL
