Tokyo Olympics SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [4] Alexander Zverev

[RF-18]

yea but krish and mike danny is gonna say this is nid. Pathetic.

 

[onyxrose81]

He has no serve to speak of. That was disappointing. I wish he would have just been blasted off the court to begin with.

 

[mike danny]

Some things are not meant to be. Hopefully Novak will respond stronger at the USO

He hasn't lost yet...

 

[JCF]

Wow ... This will f*ck up his USO chances too ...
He should never have gone to Tokyo.

He got greedy, he could have had a calendar year slam, now he has 3/4 which is impressive, but he really dropped the ball coming to Tokyo.

 

[Arak]

It does not have to do with being tired. He has his magic bag for the toilet break

Remember it’s the olympics. Magic stuff is much more limited.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Oh nonono Djokerbros we got too cocky…

 

[daphne]

Djok just screamed: "Where is Srdjan!?"

 

[mike danny]

yea but krish and mike danny is gonna say this is nid. Pathetic.

Let's wait and see. Zverev could still lose this. He's not the toughest tool in the shed.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

He hasn't lost yet...

Shut up

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Double break and 3-0 for Zed.

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

I stopped watching when Novak broke in the second. WTF happened lol

 

[Terenigma]

Wow. Double break, 3-0 and is 3 games away from an Olympic medal.

 

[weakera]

Unbelievable. It's his time now!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev breaks again. Djoko breaking down under pressure. Credit to Zverev though.

 

[JCF]

And now we have to deal with that EPO pumped cheat Nadal winning the USO.
Good thing is I stuck €50 on him at 8/1.... money in the bank.

 

[onyxrose81]

What a nightmare.

 

[Nostradamus]

WOW,, WOOW, 8 games in a row.. Has anyone ever anytime win 8 games in a row from novak ?? fake goat

 

[Checkmate]

DJOKOVIC LOOKING LIKE a 38 year old on the court

 

[daphne]

Remember it’s the olympics. Magic stuff is much more limited.

You have no idea, do you?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Unbelievable. It's his time now!

Full credit to him.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Djokovic got broken 5 games in a row, can anyone believe this lol

 

[stringertom]

Wow! Three games away from a guaranteed NeverGen gold medalist!

 

[Cortana]

From 6:1 3:2 to 6:1 3:6 0:3, wth is happening?

 

[junior74]

Plenty of time for Zed to choke.

 

[mike danny]

Shut up

Ok, did not see that coming. Novak losing 8 games in a row.

 

[ForehandCross]

Lol, Djokovic has full capacity to win this even after going 2 Breaks down.

BUT, I am stunned with the kind of advantage Zverev has when the ball is in play.STUNNED.

 

[weakera]

Remember it’s the olympics. Magic stuff is much more limited.

VERY good point. This match has followed an eerily similar script to some of Nadal's late match implosions vs. Next Gen, ie. the Medvedev semi at WTF, Tsitsipas at AO. Maybe that explains it.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zverev 7 games straight and ....! Djokovic is finish?

 

[Deleted member 783101]

c'mon man...

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

The goat and golden slam hype is dead for this season!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

GENETIC
FREAK

 

[weakera]

Full credit to him.

Yes he has held up okay but the story of this match is definitely Novak's collapse. Almost never before seen in this way late in a tournament. Still has time to rebound though.

Djokovic pulling a Federer with chip and charge

 

[Arak]

You have no idea, do you?

It’s a fact. In the olympics there are a lot of controls.

 

[gameovais]

Frustrating for Djokovic fans. But it's his own doing, he was well ahead in this match and poor match management and a high level from Zverev has done this. Still not over.

But this still will hurt both going into the final.

 

[Lozo1016]

If Zverev wins, it's gonna be fun to start this thread from the beginning and see what the good folks of TTW were saying about him in the 1st set.

 

[Checkmate]

DJOKOVIC to be bagelled?

 

[Harry_Wild]

Djokovic 1st serve is gone that why he is in his in trouble now!

 

[ForehandCross]

The hell was that loose FH from Novak??

 

[Rebel-I.N.S]

People acting like Djokovic hasn’t come back from positions like this before.

He’ll throw everything at Z.

 

[Terenigma]

See this is the exact kind of match and situation Zverev needs to get used to. He has a double break in the final set of a match that should he win, he will win an Olympic medal and he's got to do it against the best player to play the sport. If he can see this match out, it will do wonders for his confidence.

 

[N01E]

Great match from Zverev tbh. Shame that Novak nor Daniil is getting the gold, but at least it's not Tsitsipas.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Lol, Djokovic has full capacity to win this even after going 2 Breaks down.

BUT, I am stunned with the kind of advantage Zverev has when the ball is in play.STUNNED.

Nope he imploded, no way Zed loses this now with a double break. Djokovic shouldn't have allowed to get broken in the first game of the third.

 

[onyxrose81]

That works for Bo5. He’s done.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think a lot of us Djokovic fans were worried about Zverev here. He has the tools to take the game out of Djokovic hands. He’s performed great. I hope Novak can still make him earn it here but it’s a tough task now. Even if Novak loses he still has a chance for another medal at least. You can’t win them all.

 

[Hamnavoe]

I wonder if Zverev will wear his gold medal among his gold chains in coming tournaments.

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

If Nole loses, I wonder how motivated he'll be in the mixed dub right after this.

 

[gameovais]

Djokovic pulling a Federer with chip and charge

Is this because physically he just doesn't have it in him anymore? This has been a gruelling 2 hours for them both.

 

[Arak]

VERY good point. This match has followed an eerily similar script to some of Nadal's late match implosions vs. Next Gen, ie. the Medvedev semi at WTF, Tsitsipas at AO. Maybe that explains it.

It is a point worth reflecting on.

 

[onyxrose81]

Zverev was the absolute worst opponent he could have gotten in the semis. Novak had his chances and blew it.
