RG 2021 Final: Novak Djokovic [1] vs Stefanos Tsitsipas [5]

[ACE of Hearts]

He breaks! Can he consolidate the break?

 

[ForehandCross]

Incredible composure. Incredible. Djokovic is a rock.

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Joker played that game like he was gonna pull the cord if he didn’t break

 

[Terenigma]

The UE from Tsitsipas and Djokovic has the break. 3-1 Novak.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Joker breaks Tsitsipas

 

[James P]

That was a brutal loss of serve. But what a mesmerizing game.

 

[Gumbo Jackson]

And Djokovic finally gets the break.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

That game was something else, nailbiting.

Tsitsipas still up 2 sets but this isn't over anytime soon.

 

[TennisFan3]

This could be OVER now. As predicted Novak with a BREAK. What a response from the Champion.
Novak is the mentally strongest player in the history of this game.
Titspas is TIRED. This match is gone from the Greek's hands. A 22 yr old is winded. LOL.

 

[gjm127]

Can Tsitsipas survive this momentum change now. Great test now.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Interesting stuff. But doesn't mean much right now. He needs the set.

 

[JadeC]

Gets the break after a long game. Come on, Novak!

 

[Larry Duff]

He's starting to shake

 

[abmk]

Tpas not moving quickly enough there and BH DTL UE from him. Djoko breaks.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Joker uses RAGe #3 too now!

 

[junior74]

Not surprising, a case of

Never rule Novak out... Never.

 

[Krish0608]

One too many BPs. Anyway, the match seems to have turned there. Hope Stef has more has left in the tank. He needs to be aggressive

 

[JadeC]

TTW breaking as Novak breaks.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Even if Tsitsipas loses this service game, he needs to just keep going - Djokovic is only winning this if T’s level drops.

Exactly! Fatigue will start to set in.

 

[Terenigma]

Wow that forehand was a reminder than Tsitsipas is still here LOL

 

[PrinceMoron]

Ho hum
Nice toilet break by the way. Shame he bothered coming back

 

[ForehandCross]

Toilet break Power!

 

[Martin J]

Much better level from Novak and smarter approach, have to avoid the Tsitsi FH at all costs.

 

[ttbrowne]

Is this the beginning of Novak's Beast Mode??

 

[chjtennis]

Novak is pumped.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Djokovic would need another break, no way he holds till the end of the set.

 

[James P]

Wow, that return! Smoked!

 

[-NN-]

Djokovic is back in business. He's the one controlling the rallies.

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

Zverev- Thiem feels here, think Novak could win this in 5?

 

[GhostofPetros]

Nole creeping his way back into this match. Starting to find the slightest of rhythms.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Would have take this score before the match to be honest

 

[Third Serve]

Novak playing better now. He needs to avoid the Tsitsipas forehand.

 

[SonicNirvana]

The inevitable is here?

 

[Sentinel]

What? I am on the Tapas train!!

Hope our tapasya gives fruit soon.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Novak holds.....

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Exactly! Fatigue will start to set in.

Shouldn't Tsits also be tired?

 

[Martin J]

Toilet break Power!

Players who take a toilet break start to hit to their opponent's BH regularly. Scientifically proven.

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic will now push this to 5. Then it's anyones.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

What happened in the first set and second set? I arrived late

 

[Oceans]

Only consolation as a Nole fan is that I will win a lot of money.

 

[TennisFan3]

Exactly! Fatigue will start to set in.

Titspas is the one who is FATIGUED. Novak is not the only who is tired.
Titspas is NOT even running for his shots. This

 

[ForehandRF]

Djokovic wins this.If the match goes to a 5 th it's game over.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

It's only a break. Over five sets it's very surmountable.
Tsitsy will not get tired. He is 22 and a pro athlete.
Tsitsy may tire mentally, though. Which Djokovic won't now he is back in it, especially.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Borg enjoying a day out in the sun. Nice seats too

 

[Tennisgods]

Tsitsipas might be torn now; do I throw this set and reset, risking losing rhythm, or keep working hard. Tough one.

 

[GhostofPetros]

Shouldn't Tsits also be tired?

Novak is emotionally/mentally fatigued imo. I don't think Stefanos match w/Zverev was as exhausting on those levels.

 

[tsamo]

Tsitsipas need to hold here and stay close to Djokovic.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Djokovic has this 4th. Brilliant return.

 

[Cantconvert2MP]

This is mental. Nole does not have the game to win today. He has to get inside Tsits' head.

He gave too much against Nadal, plus his match against Tsi have always been hard.

Damn, who dev this website, it's bugging aller over the place because of this few people on slam final everytime.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Not surprising, a case of

Never rule Novak out... Never.
