Not sure if Serena would agree.

Thiago Wild champion in Junior Boys Singles

 

That's a rather interesting name for a Brazilian....I am not very curious to know how that's pronounced (in Portuguese)  

 

Simply as the English 'wild'? Or with the d sounding more like in 'bom dia'?

Mladenovic with what in the Netherlands is called 'a Roooowbin'  (named after Robin Haase --> double fault while the opponent is on matchpoint)

Not my language but probably some weird pronounciation like "weelch". In many words portuguese sounds funny from our point of view

@LDOG got it right

 

At the start of this video Thiago himself pronounces his name:

 

 

If he is going to be a somebody in Tennis (which he plans to achieve starting next year) this will be such a confusing name

Has Djokovic missed a shot yet? I haven't seen it.

Actually there isn't much difference in UEs. The big difference is return: delpo only 66% points won with 1st serve, which for him is VERY bad, Djokovic defense is full gear today.
