Published by Aaress Lawless on Sep 4, 2007 | Print |

Maria Sharapova lost early at the US Open, but as long as Novak Djokovic remains alive in the men’s draw, Sharapova is gone, but definitely not forgotten.

    Novak cracks me up. He’s not the first, or only, player to do impersonations…….but he’s the one that gets negative comments because of it. Go figure.

    Novak of all people to do extremisms. He is why Tivo was invented, not the crucial scenes in The Godfather. My *** man! He’s a savant with that bouncing of the ball before each serve an average of 15 times. Is that gamesmanship or autism! I for one can not watch.

    Actually Petr, Novak is neither – He was impersonating Sharapova. Trust me, he does not serve that way all the time.

    Hello Aaress, Just a lazy joke on my part. I know he’s capturing his composure in those bounces. All that said, his is a beautiful game where gentleness and power make him appear tennis mature. Go Roger!

    I can’t help but think of Agassi’s comment the other night during the Federer/Roddick match about the fine line between pumping one’s self up and waking the sleeping giant. They do come off as funny to 20,000 fans at the US Open, Djokovic’s impersonations, but for me they certainly carry with them aggressive and dare I say arrogant undertones premature and oddly placed. Making fun of Sharapova and Nadal now is poor timing, while they have recently lost and he’s on a new level of winning in his young career. Perhaps tennis should allow for something along the lines of baseball’s brush back pitch. Then see how many comedians show up!

    Why is Maria sitting with the Djokovic family and friends box? And Robert DiNiro?

    You guys take things more seriously than players. Maria supported Djokovic in finals, and she finds his impersonations of her, funny.
    The only one who takes it personally is Rodick, and as you said, Agassi.

    What is wrong with you americans?
