ATP 1000: Miami

Tenez wrote:Cool. I'll be watching some hopefully.

Looks like Larry is trying to tell us something but I am afraid I am too busy to respond now.

Good night.

Tenez wrote:And that's probably because he uses the wrist a lot...as I always said. He doesn;t hit nearly as flat as people think. Not many do I grant you that but Djoko play with a lot of spin doesn;t mean he goes high over the net.

Larry Ellison wrote:Djokovic only hits with spin when's on the defence on his forehand.
Normally he hits the ball extremely flat.

This is the thing about Djokovic- he seems to be the only player who can dominate in this transition state: where he is neither taking huge risks on the attack, nor on the defence.
He can do this as he has laser like precision and accuracy, what he loses in his shots for pure pace he makes up with the immense angles.

Total nonsense. Stick to sand-digging, Larry.

Tenez wrote:Yes Larry. Shame you made it such a slow tournament to help your friend Nadal. You also put pressure on referees to prevent them from fining Nadal for his on-court coaching.

The good news is that though Miami might not have as much coverage, it is still worth 1000 and Nadal is guaranteed to be seeded lower than 4 before the FO.

Tenez wrote:More than ever, I want him to get beaten by the opposition. I am more interested in his losses than Fed's wins nowadays. Especially since he came back and won.

Tenez wrote:Wowww Delpo was not very keen to get into a fight. Lost 67 1 6.

Tenez wrote:It may have been raining as the matches have been delayed. Djoko is not due before 2am here.....

So from me ...good night!

He takes the ball early and moves well for 6'5. To be a top 10 player you have to be a lot fitter than Tomic is. The top10, top 5 partic. are simply good at everything, you dont get to the top of tennis being poor at anything. Tomic needs to sharpen mind and body if he wants to scale the heights but he's still young.

wilson_nxt wrote:He's a maverick like Gulbis which speaks to having a potential for mentally frailty in big moments because he doesn't conform, ie think linearly. Only the truly talented like Agassi could get away with being like that in youth and be top player. Tomic isnt Agassi. All the very best players conform to what's needed to be a slam winner. Agree time is short to make the jump but he'll never be a consistent top 3-4 player, he has potential to win a slam with good coach but don't see him as an event to event dominator.
