Episode 177c: Australian Open Day 4: Djokovic Derails

Day 4 was a day of upsets in Melbourne. No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska got blitzed by Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (as Courtney flagged), but the biggest story was six-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic stunningly falling in five sets to 117th-ranked wildcard Denis Istomin.
To assess Novak's slide, as well as other perceptions of him in Serbia and the wider world, Ben chats with Belgrade-based Saša Ozmo, a journalist for Sport Klub Srbija. How did this slide start for Novak, and what are reasonable expectations for him going forward?

Can’t NOT love Nick. I appreciate his honesty and love watching him play. And...I totally agree with his cringe-worthy comments about Djokovic...can’t stand the guy lol

Ben. That return of serve of Novak at 2011 us open sf against roger indeed was pure lucky shot. Novak himself agreed. So if Roger said that in the presser he was not being bitchy. No comparison between Roger and Novak on fan popularity. You earn the love not ask for it
