I don't understand how a dark horse of whom no one has ever heard can show up out of nowhere and defeat a champion. Do you?

Where do they learn to be so good so quietly? Underground in the shadows using pseudonyms? Sheesh. :(

    I assume you're talking about John "Who the hell is that?" toppling the Fed. Millman himself said tgst Roger was off his game, "but I'll take it". I serioysly doubt he can beat Novak, you can only fly under the radar for so long before getting noticed. Djokovic won't underestimate him.

    I am sweetie. I'm stunned and so is Jim. Now they practiced together a lot so they knew each others' games intimately. Why would you practice with a competitor and give away the hand you hold? Djokovic is a few years younger than Roger and his temperament is very fierce. Not to underestimate Roger but his game was way off. He had something like 77 UNFORCED ERRORS! WHAT? The first set went well I thought. He did make a few errors I thought were careless but I thought he had recovered because he won the set. Boy was I wrong! So we go on to watch Djokovic take Millman apart? I dunno. At thus stage nothing would surprise me. Thank you for your reply Sbf. So I guess Millman will have shot up significantly in the rankings as well he should. Progress hurts sometimes.  :( This post was edited by RosieG at September 4, 2018 6:57 AM MDT
