Ah I see you are new to Djokovic. I’d turn off now if you’re not a fan of his.
Literally, it’s 100% a tactic. Make the other play relax or lose concentration and then turn it on. He looks dead and injured quite often.Medvedev will need two breaks if he needs to win this set.
You haven't learnt from watching Novak, have you?The man can be in the midst of a total meltdown, look dead and injured and he'll still be zipping around in the 5th set and winning it 6-2.
Medvedev on the other hand is a brilliant type of cnut. He just shuffles around with that arrogant smirk on his face looking like he doesn't give a feck whether you boo him or cheer him on.
God I hope he wins here.

Exactly
Djokovic tunes himself too his best when he’s like this, Djokovic having a break down and getting angry is always dangerous for any opponent
Every single match he's losing and you have fans (and maybe even opponents) who think he's dead and buried and then boomLiterally, it’s 100% a tactic. Make the other play relax or lose concentration and then turn it on. He looks dead and injured quite often.
Yeah exactly, he’s incredible at come backs, fair play.

Agree with all of this but he also needs the crowd to boo him.
They were cheering him on for breaking the racquet.
Is there no hawkeye by the way? I haven't seen a single challenge this week.
If the crowd boos Novak, that's the end of Medvedev. Novak will channel that.
Hawkeye live, hence no line judges.
Medvedev is playing on different level at the moment. Unless he collapses, Djoko is done.
I don't care how much of a Houdini Djokovic is. If Medvedev keeps this level up, he's not getting back in.
Oh wow, now that you mention it
Djokovic unable to wins single point no matter how ahead he is ...
Daniil needs to avoid falling in the trap thinking Novak is off-game today, this is where Djokovic is so good.
This could well be a repeat of the RG final but luckily Medvedev is a lot stronger mentally so hopefully he doesn't collapse if he goes 2 up.
We will see, I’ve seen so many people play at a high level for a while but they can’t keep it up and then Djoko turns it on and that’s it.
Medvedev putting on a masterclass . The rise of a new monster.
About time! I’ll take anyone at this stage.
Yes this is done if Djoko doesn't turn this set itself.
Medvedev won't be able to keep this level up though. Start of the match, it was Novak with the nerves with history in the making. if Meddy goes 2 sets up? All the nerves on him.
Almost feels like most of you guys haven't seen this script play out before.
This is still a 50/50 match.
He has dropped off this set to be fair. Djokovic has had quite a few break points and his serve percentage was 54% before this game which isn't anything crazy
Surely someone replaced Medvedev with the T 1000. Fecking unreal.
Medvedev is an absolute bellend but I love how he wrecks out his serves without taking 30 second ball bouncing breaks. Gets the ball - looks if the opponent is ready - bam. Not the time wasting nonsense of Djokovic or Nadal.
Djok looks spent
At least he's a proper bellend. He revels in it.
Medvedev's forehand is really firing.
Just full credit to Medvedev, he may win this in straight sets and it would be well deserved.
We've all been hurt before, but I think this time, if Medvedev serves out this set. He is actually going to do it.
Sweet jesus what a gift, wtf was that shot by Medvedev.
Djokovic having a stinker
That shot by Djoko sums up his match so far.
This isn't Djokovic at all tonight. Honestly looks old out there....
Would be his greatest comeback win of his career If he wins this
Would be his greatest comeback win of his career If he wins this
Let's see.
Medvedev is not as much of a headcase as Tsitsipas, but needs to avoid getting broken early in the 3rd.
Two sets to love down and playing poorly and Djok is still only 5/2 to win this match. Says it all.
Anyone else's cousin fully hard right now?
