    I am so glad to hear what Amy said. Most of media were saying that Nole was using the bottle incident for excuse. Gill, please remember that Nole is very sensitive, especially when it comes to his body. If he wasn't feeling normal on the court, I am sure that he was concerned (he said in post match interview that it's concerning) and it affected his performance. I was surprised to hear that he didn't have a proper check up after the incident on Friday night. I can't believe that no one suggested it. As Amy said head injury is very serious. I have a similar water bottle by Waterdrop. It's heavy and if there's some water in it, it's even heavier. I tried to hit my head with it and it hurt! Imagine that it fell from 2ft (?) above on top of the head... and Nole wasn't even expecting that. I really hope that he will be alright and is able to play well at RG. 🤞🤞🤞

      They should apprehend the man who dropped the bottle. It may look like an accident but he man may have planned it for harm. He may have bent over with a loose water filled bottle in his bag, expecting it should slide off and fall on Nole’s head. This should not be ruled out especially if the man involved is discovered to be a disguised Nadal or Federer fan.

    I cannot believe Amy tied getting hit on the head with bombings in Serbia and childhood trauma from that. Why would one assume that would be his first thought in getting hit? In her ongoing effort to portray Novak as an eternal victim, she connects two unrelated events. What next? Anytime he gets hurt unexpectedly, he has flashbacks to the bombings?
    All she needed to say is that maybe getting hit on the head like that would impact one's performance and concussion protocols need to be followed. That's it. Not armchair psychological analysis.

    Im sure the bottle incident did have an effect. One can literally see the difference in his game against Moutet and Tabilo.
    And Novak refused an experimental drug at the cost of legacy. He could've potentially won 2 more grand slams and multiple other tournaments. He sacrificed that. And people think hebwould make an excuse cos of a bottle. Also he has always praised his opponents whether they make a great shot on court or if they beat him. If he says he dient feel well, he didnt feel well.

    A full metal water bottle would be about 1kg. A direct hit to the top of your head with no warning is pretty nasty. It certainly could have been a factor to the loss. My theory though is his issue is motivation. Novak is doing all the things in preparation that have worked for him in the past but i don't know if he has the same fury that brings in adrenaline. All through his career he's thrived on the need to prove a point. He's always chased Roger and Rafa. In 2023 he overtook Rafa, leading by 2 majors and is the only man to have 3 of all 4 majors. Interesting how Novak lost the day after Rafa lost in both Rome and Monte Carlo.
    Personally i think Novak's goal should be Wimbledon not the Olympics. Wimbledon has always been the premier tennis tournament and Roger holds the record for most titles of the premier tournament. Novak can equal that record with another win in London. True tennis lovers don't really rate the Olympics as a tennis achievement.

    No way to tell for certain how much the bottle incident factored in. Only thing you can do is see how inconsistent was that scoreline from Novak, are there are stats that show anomalies, and is there any stats from his opponent that support him playing well or was it due to his opponent being bad. If he faced a QF or SF level player with that score line it would be consistent with Novak. Of course he has lost to Norrie or the other British guy a few years back with a similar scoreline but I believe Novak was a lot more competitive. I'd lean to yes, but who knows, lucky this was not a major

    Seems everyone is hyperventilating... I wasn't so sure at first either. If the bottle was empty, I intuitively wouldn't think it might have been too bad of an impact, maybe smarted pretty good. But if the bottle was full, that's a pretty good bit of weight at 9.8 m/s². And he said it bled a lot, so he sustained a cut. A cut like that to the top of the head can bleed a lot, and it can be difficult to get it to stop (don't ask me how I know). Even if he may not have sustained a concussion, that loss of blood and some amount of shock to the CNS, can throw you off and takes some time to recover from (again, don't ask me how I know).

    The problem for Nole now is that if the incident was the cause of his poor performance, than I would guess the medical checks and some rest period combined with lack of matches, is going to pose a serious problem for his rithm. Rafa is in a kind of similar situation, he would have loved to get two more matches in Rome (and the field turns out to be wide open) as preparation. I think Rafa will play, Nole will play too, but both will be in a tight spot and quite in danger in the first rounds.

Think that metal bottle really bothered Novak-concussion-mental focus-disorientation. Rafael & Novak just didn't have it. Age? Fear? Lack of Tourney Court Time? Novak now has 3 or 4 2024 matches where in pressers after he said he just didn't bring it and played poorly-by his own standards. Focus + Mental game off - maybe physical conditioning as well. Rafa looked uneven & movement a bit slow in 2 rounds-compared to Madrid. They will be back & bringing it - let's see what unfolds in RG-24 & Olympics play. Thanx Joel, Amy & Gill.

As for Rafa, I think easy early draw in Paris would really help. I do believe he could play even on higher level, like SF if he could ease into it.

    I think Gil made a small mistake about Nadal's draw. In these 96 player draws, Nadal was guaranteed to play someone ranked lower than #32 in the first round, because the top 32 seeds get first round byes. In the French open, everyone plays in the first round. Since there are 96 non-seeded spots and 32 spots vs. The top 32 seeds, Rafa has a 32/96 or 1/3 chance of playing a seed in the first round.

      Still huge difference from Novak, for example. I saw Novak playing Haffenman (or something). The guy is ranked around 37 - and yet he's quite an opponent. Huge and precise serve, strong forehand and excellent drop-shotter. Novak played excellently and won 6:3 and 6:4. But I don't think Rafa would have very good chance to win. The field is apparently full of such kind of young players.

    Amy is not a doctor- she didn’t examine him, she didn’t speak with him, she doesn’t know anything about the bottle that hit him - she’s just searching for answers like his fans and Novak himself. Sure we can’t rule anything out but it’s also unfair to speculate and say this match doesn’t count what ultimate disrespect to Tabilo. Especially considering the yr Nole’s been having- every loss is simply excused away as an outliner because he’s Novak. She’s a fangirl who we more harsh on Rafa who faced a top 10 player. Newsflash GOaTs can also have bad seasons too!

      Novak clearly said in the post-match conference he didn't feel well, describing symptoms that are associated with a concussion. It's like getting hit on your leg, saying your leg hurt, and someone still claiming it has nothing to do with getting hit on the leg.

    • @slc2466
      @slc2466 15 дней назад +3

      Also, Novak's only eleven months younger than Rafa, so it's not impossible that Father Time is also starting to catch up with him now and he could lose to a Tabilo at least partially because of age, even though few will mention this. There's not a big 5-6 year gap, as was the case with Federer.

    “I would just throw the match out entirely.” - Spoken like a true shill for the only one of the “Three” to remain competitive.
    There’s NO MENTION of whether Djokovic went through any concussion protocol or concussion testing at all, or whether a concussion was even suspected by his team. There’s NO MENTION of how well you could expect a player to play if he had incurred a concussion, mild or not. I mean, the guy agreed to play the match, right?
    This “injury” is just so frustrating, and also so unproven.
    Djokovic has been flashing warning lights of a lack of motivation ever since losing at the Australian Open. Hasn't made the finals of a tournament yet this year. Parted with Goran just before clay season. Gill did a great video breaking down all the signs of lack of motivation in Djokovic's play in this last loss.

    My guess is Nadal will withdraw from RG & end it with Olympics & then Laver Cup. That's the sense I get having watched his matches so far in the clay season. He knows he's not going to be competitive with the top tier players, especially in best of 5 sets.

      Yes I tend to agree, he has the shots of old but as weapons they seem blunted. Not sure if that’s age related or injury related but it was hard to watch in the last match. Maybe he can turn it around for RG but I’m doubtful.

    Wierd double fault to ruud at monte carlo. I convinced myself that he had a good couple of matches at his worst masters tourney and he would peak at rome.
    Come rome, what was that? Wierdest of all wierd matches ever by him. No motivation and 0 thought process before a game or even before a break point.
    It felt like he was in some trance to finish the match at the earliest and just go somewhere.
    I am CONCERNED. This aint THE GOAT i know. But i hope he somehow finds his form and gets that OLYMPIC GOLD. Thats all he wants now. Dont think even slams matter to him now. If it did, rome preparation would have been different. I dont even know what to say atm 😢

    -please also avoid using an example of a few cases of concussive syndrome you have seen to lead you to conclude that we can “100%” throw out this loss by Novak.
    I’m a fan of great tennis and I want Novak in full form at RG. At this point he has had no prep and has not shown any signs that he is anywhere close to the form needed to go deep at RG - outside of the luck of an easy draw.
