Well, Djokovic LOST (to himself really)

And The Nadal chose not to play

so I think that's not an unfair thing to say

Yeah Djokovic really LOST, here he is congratulating his opponent

Standaa · Sep 12, 2020

omg Zverev why you do this to yourself

you're not doing yourself any favor

Cabeza del Demonio · Sep 12, 2020

This was a veiled insult to Tsitsipas and Medvedev

oldmanfan · Sep 12, 2020

For these 2 weeks, yes, Thiemrev are the 2 best

.
Last men standing, no?

That's the thing about tennis. You can be the best of the week by walking away with he trophy

Jonesy · Sep 12, 2020

Welp, if Zverev end up winning it will be time to turn the doomsday clock.

BVSlam · Sep 12, 2020

Maybe he meant "vultures" instead of players, as Zverev is definitely one of the two best vultures in the world at this US Open!

Breakpointerer · Sep 12, 2020

Zverev doing what he does best: putting himself up there.

Holdfast44ID · Sep 12, 2020

Don't you have to be ranked #1 and #2 to be considered the best two players in the world?

The two best players of the last 2 weeks. LOL.

Open Stance · Sep 12, 2020

Sorry Z but that was a really stupid thing to say. You've had a cake walk draw and still struggled to beat Coric, Shapo and PCB - not exactly a murderer's row of the ATP. You didn't even look that great against Mannarino, Nakishima or Anderson either. Trying winning something first.

I don't think its unfair to say that Thiem and Sascha have surmounted Nadal/Djoker at this point. They are current gen, Rafa and Novak are old gen.

Last I checked Sumit Nagal wasn't in the finals.

Is Zverev high? Did he forget is the *one* playing the final on sunday and not Djokovic?

Someone shake him back to the real world or else he will forget to turn up and we will have the first no show slam Final.

Well yeah. Slam finalists are the best two players of the last two weeks but not necessarily of the previous 52.

DSH · Sep 12, 2020

Thiem, and who is the other one?

He is so used to getting trounced in 1st week of slams that he forgot it's not Djokovic playing the final but him.

I'll allow it.

Zverev is getting himself pumped by trolling a little. Nothing wrong with it

dropshotlikeitshot · Sep 12, 2020

Just like the two best players in the world met in the 2014 USO final.

It would be great for the game if he became a troll. And by "game", I mean his game. I bet villains have much less nerves on second serves.

ohiostate124 · Sep 12, 2020

For the sake of his career in the long term, Zverev needs to lose this match. If he wins in his first grand slam final, his ego will be impossible to control.

You crazy? Winning this match will take the pressure off him and likely help with the service yips!

Spencer Gore · Sep 12, 2020

"The two best players in the world are going to be playing on court.'"

Have Djokovic and Nadal agreed to play an exhibition match before the final?

Jack the Hack · Sep 12, 2020

Zverev is just saying what we all know. The era of Big 3 dominance is over.

(I hope.)

No. He said the two BEST players.

Fed is currently better than Nadal on hard courts.

I really do think a win here would help Zverev more than it would Thiem.

Currently? He hasn’t won a hard court slam since 2018, while Nadal literally won last year’s USO. Not to mention making the final of the Australian Open 2019, while Fed got knocked out early to an opponent Nadal put away later in the tournament.

Plus, having had back-to-back knee surgeries this year, Fed isn't on any kind of court right now. He's too busy making Instagram videos and eating chocolate, while Nadal is preparing to tie his Slam record.

Nadal is better against weaker opponents, I'll give him that

zipplock · Sep 12, 2020

He's probably so clueless that he doesn't know what he said is very egotistical, very far from humility. Also comes from a generation where the value of humility is rarely remembered.

Yeah, too bad they can't both win. I think Thiem deserves it more but Zverev kind of needs this. I just hope neither one of these guys nor Medvedev go slamless in their careers. They all should win slams.

I’m all for confidence, maybe even some occasional cockiness, but.......

I'm a little torn myself. Thiem has worked his tail off for a long time and I like his game too. I like it much more than Zverev's. Thiem needs some help up there though. I don't think just he and Med can dethrone Djokovic/Nadal alone. Imo that's where Zverev has a chance now to gain some confidence and get over things like the yips that you mentioned. Go for more on his FH and maybe not be afraid or indecisive at the net. Most of his problem is mental.

I was just tryna ruffle some feathers. I think Nadal could be considered a better player than Federer currently as Nadal rarely loses to next gen, though Thiem may be changing that. I'd take Fed in a head to head matchup on grass or hardcourt, though I would be very worried about the match.

At least one of these two will win a slam and gain some confidence. If Thiem wins and goes on to completely dominate, Fed's grand slam record could be saved.

Zverev’s head is so far up in his own /\ss is the real technical reason why he has no second serve.
