Wow Djokovic just took a serious whipping from the Austrian Dominic Theim 7-6; 6-3; 6-0. The defending champ is out.

1. I think the first set was actually 7-6.

4. You're right but that was actually on the screen and I hadn't had my coffee yet

2. Wow.

Did not expect that.

3. he's been struggling lately....big news!!!

[malaise]

6. He was blowing hard at the end of the first set

Theim reached the semis last year as well and recently beat Nadal in Rome in the quarters

I like Nadal but this kid is ready to upset all the big men

5. Injury? That must be at least 7 games in a row he lost at the end

which must be unheard of for him against a non-Grand Slam winner.

7. And lost badly too

A bagel no less

8. WOW!

I have not been able to watch much, especially the last few days. This is kind of not a surprise, but a BIG surprise at the same time. He is not my favorite to watch but since he has Agassi on his team I had to watch just to see my old favorite. Djokovic just looks scattered. He plays well then seems to mentally lose it. He needs to be able to refocus quicker than he seems to be able to. It doesn't look like he ever even played well in that match. Wow, I like seeing new players come up like this though. Still holding out for Federer but I know that era is over and he will be gone soon. I need a new group of favorites, both in men and women's tennis.

Of course, I know absolutely nothing about playing the game so my arm chair thoughts are just that.

9. Yep looks like a changing of the guard

Djokovic has many off the court issues - Agassi can't help him there.

10. Ahhh

I did not know about that. Too bad.
