All these hateful comments are ridiculous. Novak once said "if you don't believe in yourself, you have already lost". So I am proud of Alex to stand up with confidence and give himself a chance. He is tine, but also a tiny bit under rated.
I am Novak's fan and I agree with you, everyone should believe in themselves and the better player should win. It will be a good match because both are in great form. Good luck to both and I hope Novak wins :)
You should bet on your house if your that confident. On paper Djokovic should win but anything can happen in tennis matches. I'm sure De Minaur will do better than Rune. To win against the best players you have to really believe in yourself and give it your all. Because if you have a single shred of doubt in your mind..you have already lost the match.
@@MA77SP The bookies right now have Djokovic as strong favourite. I think that might partly be to do with Alex's physical state otherwise Djokovic it might be closer with Djokovic still as favourite. Most bookies have Djokovic as 3/10 favourite.
Yeah, De Minaur was especialy "nice guy" in AO 2022., when he said in the press conference that Novak should be deported from Australia and never let him enter Australia again! He supported his governmant for holding Novak in prison! That was a real spotsmanship like behaviour! He is just an envious little mouse...👎👎👎
If you don't have confidence, there is no way you can win. Novak Djokovic said: if you haven't confidence, you already lost. Even he said that he respect ls players who are confident that can win against anybody. So I like what je said.
@@JacintaGib I also think - by 50/50 - he means that the match is anyone's to take. 2 players, only 1 can win. I think people have taken his comment too literally.
There's 2 ways of going about it, there's the confident way or there's the humble way like Nadal had where he said all the time he was the underdog even on clay at RG (Which you could probably say was delusional in the other direction)
We all know what happened before when he also "believed" in himself against Novak 😂 Novak is highly motivated to take that 25th 🏆 It will be extremely hard to take him down at this tournament.
Alex De Minaur is playing great, and he definitely has a chance, but to believe or say that he has a 50/50 chance of beating Novak, who seems to be peaking at the right time, is unrealistic. I’d say 20/80.
No big serve, no serve and volley, no net game... the most important things required to win in grass.....he can't beat novak without these in his arsenal....
@@borisi. Yeah the Fourth dose of COVID vaccine 🤣🤣🤣 that was the most evil game in humanities history and Nole it was obvious that would be at the wright side of the history....
The hate for Di Minaur here is ridiculous. I've always been a Djokovic fan and hope as much as anyone that he can get that 25th GS because chances of another major are limited now because of his age. Show some respect for Alex, though.
Show respect to Alex?!? His hate for Novak is ridiculous! De Minaur was especialy "nice guy" in AO 2022., when he said in the press conference that Novak should be deported from Australia and never let him enter Australia again! He supported his governmant for holding Novak in prison! That was a real spotsmanship like behaviour! He is just an envious little mouse...👎👎👎
@@slavicakrkalovic7150 He doesn't hate Novak, that is a ridiculous statement. He also didn't say that Novak should never be allowed to enter Australia again, that is a lie. He was asked a question and he answered it which was basically the rules applied to everyone and no exemptions should be made which was true. If Novak didn't want to take the vaccine I support his stance, that was his decision, but ultimately you then can't expect to be allowed to enter a country which at that time insisted on vaccination.
@@carrauntoohil86 Under which rock have you been sleeping until today?? De Minaur didn't just say that Novak should not be allowed in Australia again, he even made jokes about Novak as a player! Maybe you should watch the press conference, where Alex shows his true face! And if the rules should have been applied to everyone, than there were other players and choaches that should have been also deported from Australia for not being vaccinated! But I guess you don't care about that!
@@slavicakrkalovic7150 I watched it and he never once said he shouldn't be allowed into Australia again. Okay, give me the names of these coaches who were unvaccinated but allowed in.
@@carrauntoohil86 You obviocely didn't watch the right press conference.. I guess you are still sleeping under the rock... I don't have their names, but Australian governmant and AO organizers do, why don't you ask them... And what are you going to do with their names, are you going to demand from the Australian governmant to not let them enter Australia now?!?
Someone with 0 slams or big titles thinking that has 50% chance of defeating a 24 slam champ is definitely delusional. But I agree that he has to believe, many players vs the big 3 enter the court already defeated
Given your second sentence, it's not clear why you wrote the first. Of course he's going to say he can win. Novak attributes his own mental toughness, especially earlier in his career when he was the facing prime Federer and Nadal, with this sort of optimistic ("delusional") attitude.
I find it odd that this bothers you so much. Players say stuff like this all the time. Novak has also lost to many, many players far weaker than de minuar this year. All these hate comments reek of fear and insecurity
Its 2 - 1 Novak in H2H so he does know what it's like to beat Novak. Granted that win Alex got was not at a slam and Novak had a wrist issue. But it won't be like AO 2023 again, Alex has improved in the past 18 months.
Very inpressed wirh Alexs attitude on court, gone is the appealig to his box for support. His self belief is now for all to witness, not the young protege any more. A grown man wirh the skill set to to put his formidible opponent to the sword.
Well Novak is getting older now and coming back from injury and Alex is nearing his peak, so I think he has a great chance against Novak if he can serve well
@@berlinstrasse i didn't say Novak is getting older in 1 day lol, I'm just saying Novak isn't at his peak anymore (but yes he is still playing well) and Alex is getting better all the time. This is probably Alex's best chance to beat Novak in a slam.
It is always a 50-50 chances before the game start, it changes as game progresses. Forecast show us what is the result ahead but sometimes misses it's mark.
Hope crowd will be agains Novak as usual, he needs that hate to fuel himself. It’s all about Novak , when he play his tennis Djokovic is unstoppable! IDEMOOOOO 💪💪💪
Wow..50-50 means 50 service = 50 aces or 50 forehands = 50 winners... lol.. fanny guy, he forgot already Australian Open 23... the lesson wasnt learned.
Its official people who comment on utube tennis are the most weird toxic bunch in any sport no one knows exackly why but the players think its hiliarious and sad .
Alex Novak hasn't forgotten all the crap you were talking about him and all your disrespect !!! You'll never get to '50:50' with him!!! Don't be ridiculous !! It will be like AO 6:0, 6:0, 6:1 Goooooooooood night!
I was a neutral party, but seeing all the arrogant partisans in the comments, I'm now rooting for De Minaur. Gotta side with the underdog, especially when the fans of the favorite are more arrogant than the player himself.
I think they say the same about Roger rafa fans who whine each and every time too. It's their turn to have fun now that their player is the undisputed GOAT against all odds. It's decade of hate towards their player and writing him off that is fuelling this. And it's natural. You guys better learn to not whine, that should easethings up. 🙏
hateful? dawg WE'VE SEEN and WE REMEMBER the petty shot he made when NOVAK was "deported" in A0-2022... there's a REASON why WE HATE HIM... anyone can have their opinion, they are free to do it.. but to make fun of the situation and TAKE A SHOT at NOVAK like that.. HE DESERVE THE HATE he's getting from the fans.
there's a RESPECTFUL WAY to comment on something that serious and controversial.. and to laugh at it and make a joke out of it in the press, and on top of it, TAKING a DIRTY and DIRECT SHOT at NOVAK... ALL BETS ARE OFF BOY! ----- and this is coming from (ME) a fully vaccinated person and boosted.

@@elisar5803 He did say that approximately....which is why I didn't quote. Sliding on grass is the exact opposite of sliding on grass. Sliding on clay: Predictable and controllable and easier. Sliding on hard: Predictable and controllable but harder. Sliding on grass: Unpredictable, uncontrollable, player try to avoid it.
As long as he didn't bad mouth Novak that's a good start, i think to say 50/50 is a bit too extreme for me, i guess he just wants to block out who he's playing
I’m actually ok with that statement ,if it was said a year ago I would have laughed or anytime before that,but I think diminaur is improving by the match and djokovic appears to have a shade of (my career is on the decline) to his look nowadays ,not saying it’s 50/50 but an upset would not shock me …and best believe Novak and diminaur have a past that so far has given the joker the edge ,but the tide could turn !
