Love the way Novak congratulates his opponents when they defeat him. Always a nice smile. Very gracious loser. I remember how he behaved when losing so much after coming back from his elbow injury. He was always gracious then. It would have been understandable for him to have been sullen and grumpy instead. Remarkable.

[@broncoguy4862]

Gracious losers don't spend the majority of the pressers explaining how they played the worst match of their career each time they suffer an unexpected loss. Machac played to win, and did.

[@kevinlucey2146]

I do believe Novak has around 24 more major trophies than Machac, so the win likely qualifies as an upset. The explanation cannot be "Machac is a better player than me," so some other explanation is merited. I didn't say Djoker is a perfect person, just that he is very magnanimous when congratulating those who beat him. What he says during the interview afterwards doesn't change that.

[@willwahl9225]

Like Djokovic more and more. Here is one guy who has won everything in tennis and he still continues. Winning, losing, experiencing everything over and over. Being himself just doing it. I never really thought much of his urge for perfection and being liked. I do understand him now though. He is just very much conflicted by things in the same way everyone is. I am sure he is a great guy. Surely always shows respect to his opponents. Humility !

[@syarbrough8510]

I THINK THE BEGINNING OF THE END... was last years Wimbledon final where Alcaraz took him down in 5 and Carlos didn't cave to the big 3 like most had done in past. That affected Novak in a profound way. I read he said that Carlos was the only player(including Fed n Rafa) that he actually feared. Then he goes down to Sinner in Australian. I truly believe that these younger players smelled blood in the water, n realized that they could be beat. Tennis is a huge mental sport. The big 3 have lived rent free in the youngsters heads for years, that have came and went. It's also not like even 5 yrs ago where the goats were truly jus better players than rest. These cats now who are ranked 100 or higher in rankings are beasts. They dont fear you and they are young and agile. They are mentally a helluva lot tougher than even a few yrs back. Nobody fears these cats anymore. I think the mental edge that Fed, Djokovic, n Nadal(Murray too) carried for so long is over. Once that's been snapped, the end of their reign is finished. And I'm a huge fan of the big 3(Andy n Stan as well). So it's sad no doubt. But time for new blood

[@pawshands9706]

Credit to Tomas Machac, but the focus now is on Djokovic. He isn't performing at his usual level. It's unclear whether this is due to fatigue or a lack of enthusiasm, but something is definitely off.

[@fwvw7056]

A summary of excuses I have seen so far made by Djokovic' fans (or himself): United Cup against De Minaur: it is just the UC. AO against Sinner: Unforced Errors (coincidentally against the best player this season so far and the guy who beat him 2 out of the 3 previous meetings). Indian Wells against Nardi: ?? "he will bounce back like he always does" (drops Miami) Monte Carlo against Ruud: "he had a good MC run" (drops Madrid) Rome against Tabilo: Water bottle Geneva against Machac: "he is tanking for rest, it is just practice". Prediction for the excuse when crashing out of RG: "he is training for the olympics".

[@slXD100]

he just didn't play good vs Sinner, that isn't an excuse but a fact, however, the water bottle accident is a valid excuse because he did suffer from concussion symptomes. the rest of the mentions are total bull I agree with it, especially the "rest" in this specific match.. if anything he needs more matchplay, not rest. he is as rested as he can be

It is interesting to note that when the young players played Nadal, whether they won or lost, they were all in awe of the magnificence of Rafa. Starting with Casper Ruud who mentioned that he would relate to his grandchildren the fact that he played Nadal. Then lately, the younger players started asking for souvenirs from him like his towel, his shirt etc. And the crowd at Foro Italico's reaction to Nadal, even though he lost the match. That is the GOAT for all to see.

I think he actually took Djokovic to a deciding tiebreak in 2023. I don’t have a lot of faith in Novak to make a deep run but time will tell if he proves us wrong

[@VashTheStampede4K]

Now Novak needs a Rock IV training for winning the rest of the season (R.G., Wimbledon, Olympics and US Open).

[@t14dann18]

i love Machac's forehand; it's got a unique sling/whip like way about it

[@radmitic2170]

Nice tank job. Like Novak wanted to play the final. Please he wants to be at RG already. He got a few more matches in.

[@hero0149]

Novak will no longer push himself too hard and will do his best at the French Open.

Doesn't mean he will go far at RG

I agree with you, it's a smart move because he gets what he wanted, few matches to practice, he will now go to RG preparing his RG campaign, having a few days rest and practice more, other players may be thinking he's not at his best, just wait, it's all psychological!!

So the good news; Novak looked great in his first 2 matches and hit some great shots in this match. Speed is there. Defense looks great at times and I’m liking his aggression and shot selection The bad news; this is his 3rd loss to a B or C player this year and it’s as inexplicable as it is inexcusable I love how Machac played today. To shake off a bagel and blow Novak off the court in that 3rd set was impressive but it also exposes Novak’s level of play entering the FO which is not even close to where he was last year Props to Novak for getting a late WC to get 3 matches in but still shocking how bad he’s playing this year I really don’t think he’ll make it out of the first week I think this is Zverevs year

Call it the Ivanisevic Effect

[@maxwelltavatli4210]

Incredible. You can see so clearly that Djokovic just exited this tournament here to save his peak for the French Open. He simply stops going after balls in the third set. He easily could have won. Machac knows it too, that's why he doesn't have such an insane reaction as one should when beating Djokovic.

[@seazestyt]

Impressive. What a resilience after the bagel in the second set. Not sure if Novak is WELL prepared for the French Open. Having said that when comes to Grand Slams is a whole different story.

[@mycommentpwnz]

Idk if Machac got lucky with a lot of those backhands, but if he can keep this up, he will be a top 5 player. He is fast, solid/good serve, and he has power on his groundstrokes.

[@eugeniavintileanu5825]

[@Bobo-ml4th]

His first game at RG is on monday or tuesday. Dont think he wanted to play the final in geneva on saturday, but have one more good practice, especially in the second set today. Third set wins one game just not to get bageled and takes the next flight as soon as possible.✈

[@MH23455]

His 37 years old. He can't keep dominating forever. Today, he looked like he had no fight in him towards the 3rd set. He struggled in tournments last season in the lead up to the grand slams in the first half of last season but was still a force in the slams. This season, his been at an all time low. He needs a good RG showing.

[@user-ni9eh7mw3o]

Totalmente tiene que volver, porque sino esto se termina para Novak, igual es un poco raro, porque año pasado hace pocos meses, terminaba ganando casi todo y con supremacía sobre sus jóvenes contrincantes. Es muy raro lo que le pasa.

[@Blue-ik8ij]

​@@Mart7155It's not surprising at all. Decline is sharp at that age. Take Federer too, after 37 he fell off sharply. Rafa fell off sharply after 35. Novak now. It's good for the sport though. We have Alcaraz and Sinner to dominate the next couple of decades.

[@ssake1_IAL_Research]

He's slowing down, and he's not quite the age Roger was when they last played. And Roger was trying to come back from knee surgery. It makes you realize just how good Roger was.
