Yeah, he's lucky to still be in the match.
He's been supreme since Shanghai 2019 though.Djokovic was actually average against the next gen 2018-2019.
Sure, like at the AO.Giving Zverev a break up lead and confidence would be detrimental.
He can't be called clutch with only a masters and a vultured slam at 28.It has little to do with clutch when most of the time his opponent in the final is better than him. The only losses in big finals that he should have won were against Zverev and Tsitsipas, and the last one is very debatable.
So? Remember what happened at the AO.People talk as if the match is over when Zverev is still making inroads in all of Djokovic’s service games.

I'm just bored. I'd never root for Giraffe Boy against Egg in a serious manner but TTW hyped this one up so I expect better than a 6-1 first set.
This has nothing to do witch clutch. His best surface by far is the same as the most dominant player ever on a court type. That is the reason for his lack of big titles.He can't be called clutch with only a masters and a vultured slam at 28.
Sure, but Nadal wasn't unbeatable, Thiem was just not good enough. His 2017 and 2018 performances were a disgrace.This has nothing to do witch clutch. His best surface by far is the same as the most dominant player ever on a court type. That is the reason for his lack of big titles.

It's amazing how a next gen has one or two competitive games and we have egg fans saying unironically that Djokovic will be lucky to win
Sure, like at the AO.
Because I remember the AO where it didn't matter thst Zverev was a break up. In 3 different sets too.It's not AO now. It's a different tournament. Why are you talking back when you very well know the advantage for a big server when he is a break up.
You can say that all you want, but the amount of sets losts by Nadal at the French in those years is much more telling.Sure, but Nadal wasn't unbeatable, Thiem was just not good enough. His 2017 and 2018 performances were a disgrace.
The only thing I'd be nervous about is the Bo3 format being conducive to upsets but I'm not seeing anything indicating much reason to worry.
Cheap misses by the Giraffe on every half big point.
He doesn't want to run. He is petrified by that particular aspect. That's why he is throwing errors at the first opportunity.

Nadal didn't have anyone to push him physically. He finally did this year and surprise, surprise, he lost.You can say that all you want, but the amount of sets losts by Nadal at the French in those years is much more telling.
Clutch is mostly relevant when players are of the same caliber or evenly matched. This is not the case.
Probably tired already. Next Gen fitness good for about 1-2 sets.
I remember people saying Zverev was a fitness nut in a thread somewhere around here. Was he joking?Probably tired already. Next Gen fitness good for about 1-2 sets.
HE IS SO ANGRY!!!! DJOKOVIC JUST TIED HIS LACES WITH THE RETURN!

Flatout has not been good enough all year.Honestly don't actually think it's fitness. He's just not good enough today.
Zed makes Djokovic work for his games, he's in every game. Great to see.
Surprise, an ATG and worst Nadal matchup on tour was needed for that. That with an older Nadal who was already showing signs of struggle in the clay season.Nadal didn't have anyone to push him physically. He finally did this year and surprise, surprise, he lost.

It could also be that Novak is playing well AND Zverev is a typical next gen clown.Which really just highlights how good Djokovic is that he can destroy a strong in-form Zverev 6-1 in a set he was involved in.
This Nadal would have stormed to the RG title like in previous years.Surprise, an ATG and worst Nadal matchup on tour was needed for that. That with an older Nadal who was already showing signs of struggle in the clay season.
