I don't know why you don't like Holger kazza

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2024 21:19

I'm not going to watch his interview Angry

BirthdayRainbow · 08/07/2024 21:21

Oh shut up

BirthdayRainbow · 08/07/2024 21:21

He plays tricks too

kazzaD66 · 08/07/2024 21:21

Lots of reasons Jane
But* *I know I'm in the minority here Grin

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 08/07/2024 21:22

What actually happened?

AnneShirleysNewDress · 08/07/2024 21:23

I turned over. What is he complaining about?

BirthdayRainbow · 08/07/2024 21:24

Saying the crowd were booing him when they were cheering for Ruuuuner. Not Booooo

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 08/07/2024 21:24

I thought they were booing Sue the other night too. Thought that was odd.

AndDjokovicDancing · 08/07/2024 21:25

It was Nick that made me warm to Djok, I think he has mellowed.

I'm about to watch him by choice, sadly home late so on catch up

Fizbosshoes · 08/07/2024 21:25

He just makes it worse for himself. If they weren't booing him to start with I definitely would after his stupid violin thing and then the interview

AnneShirleysNewDress · 08/07/2024 21:28

He's awful. The ego of the man never fails to astound me!

BirthdayRainbow · 08/07/2024 21:28

The violin thing seemed to be for his daughter.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2024 21:31

Djokovic is so thin skinned - telling the crowd off for being disrespectful and booing him - they were shouting Rune!

I did expect more from Holger - not sure if I fancy Alex’s chances against him - especially when he hobbled off after match point - not sure if I can cope with another Djok final

C'mon Djok

Hapagirl48 · 08/07/2024 21:41

I feel sorry for Djok. He’s grown on me. He’s so great at his craft but so socially inept and so sensitive. Kind of reminds me of my autistic daughter.

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 08/07/2024 21:49

I think it upsets him when the crowd aren't behind him. He's a bloody good player and all the other players have nothing but respect and good words for him. He also does a lot for charity. It's his on court persona that's the issue.

I agree. Grown on me, like mould, but still.

Morning - torrential rain here and the dog is unimpressed.

I did not stick around for Beelzebub's speech. I've seen enough about it now.Grin. I learnt a long time ago not to fall for his schtick, and feel sorry for him. Grin. As for the booing- he knew what they were doing, it's hardly the first time he's played Holger, or Casper for that matter- it's how they chant the surnames. He just likes to moan.

The violin thing is cringy- but a clever move by his PR team- can't criticise him if he's doing it for his daughter, right?How sweet! well, no. Still looks stupid. And almost mocking- tiny violin to his opponent?- could have a double meaning- and he's the the one talking about disrespect? Grin.

Raahh · 09/07/2024 08:26

Anyway, enough about that Grin- looking forward to today- repeat of the Aussie open final for Dannil and Jannik, fingers crossed Carlos is fully fit and sees off TP. I really would like Jasmine to win, but Emma Navarro is on a winning streak too at the moment. Hard to call the Sun/Vekic match really, that could be closer.

Wheelchair singles start today, but I suppose that depends on the weather.

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2024 09:21

We’ve got torrential rain here as well Raahh - just been swimming so I’m now even more wet!

Djok is a dick - the violin thing is cringy - everything he does is cringy!

Really looking forward to the tennis today - not sure if it is raining in London? Not really sure how they’re all going to pan out but hopefully some good tennis

I think Ash Barty is due to play in an invitational match today - not sure who her opponent is but I bet they’re worried Grin

Petra Kvitova has had a baby - baby Petr Smile

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2024 09:28

Barty is playing in the women’s invitational doubles

OP posts:
Raahh · 09/07/2024 09:44

I saw Petra had had her baby- congratulations to her- naming babies after themselves if not just for the male players, then Grin.

I bet Ash could come out of retirement tomorrow and be competitive in the main draw- she is not that old, and I bet she's kept herself fit.

Just got back from taking the dog out. We're both very wet.

I am very heartened to read a lot of positive things about Holger today on SM.- That his reaction to Djok complaining about the so-called 'booing', in his press conference, was very mature and made him look the better person. (He said something about maybe Djok playing a lot of matches since they played last, and had forgotten the crowd do that). Which is diplomatic of him- but rubbish Grin Djok knows they do it.
