Djokovic with the first set. Extremely smart tactical game from him. Meddy hasn't found his rhythm

ETA: Djokovic didn't wear the Serbian cross necklace anymore does he?

Well, it's already a great day as Gaby Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe won the women's doubles. Yay!!

Djokovic willing to rally long with meddy. But how much will he have in the tank is it goes long?

I think we're starting to see some signs of fatigue from Novak. Unless he's just playing possum.

Could be possum. Can't rule that out with Djokovic.

Time for magic potion at the end of the set.

Well, it's because you have two very similar styles of tennis going at it. I mean, both guys are great at getting the ball back and waiting for an error or short ball to pounce, there's very little serve + 1 tennis today.

Novak doesn't look right, that drop shot was a bail out.

Seeing Novak trying to shorten points this game which usually means the legs aren't feeling all that good.

This match so far is hella tactical. And it is so because both players can and are willing to rally. Maybe not so much recently tho.

ETA: 15 minute game there. Shades of that 30 min game at Wimbledon

Well, that was a pretty good point lol. Meddy won the game though and Novak needs to hold serve to force a 2nd set tie-break.

I've never seen Novak hit this many double faults.

I think Novak is using the Andy Roddick frying pan on those drop shots.

Extended bathroom break and magic potion time.

Either that or Novak's twin takes over The Prestige stylez.
