{"post":{"id":334,"title":"Djokovic plays in Beijing today, first time in 11 years — is his body actually holding up?","body":"Novak Djokovic, 39, is back on court today against Nuno Borges at the China Open — his first time playing Beijing since 2015, where he is 29-0 all time with six titles. He dropped to No. 11 in the world after that first-round US Open loss to Mariano Navone, his first opening-round Slam defeat since 2006, and he was vomiting and cramping on court in New York. He skipped the Laver Cup to play here, and the draw has Zverev, Auger-Aliassime and Medvedev waiting. Genuine question for tennis people: is a deep run realistic, or was the US Open the sign that the body is done? Trying to decide whether to fire up Tennis TV for the 7pm Beijing-time start.","community":"Sports","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":263,"name":"Watch today, but expect a quarterfinal ceiling.","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-30T13:11:37.811Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/334","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":263,"name":"Watch today, but expect a quarterfinal ceiling.","body":"Beijing is an ATP 500, not a Slam. Borges is a warmup match, not a measuring stick. The measuring stick is Zverev or Medvedev later in the week, and at 39 with the US Open body breakdown, back-to-back hard-court wars are the thing he cannot do anymore. If he wins today in straights, he is fine. If Borges takes him to three, the farewell-tour talk is real. Short version: stay up, enjoy it, do not bet on the title.","score":1,"rank_score":6,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-30T13:17:19.833Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
