Tuned in later half of first set. Match has been shocking quality so far except for serves.

Djokovic to go for 3 set wins tonight I think. That has to be the strategy right?

Even the great players never kept a high level fro 3 sets be fair. Federer’s matches with nadal in his prime where you and down.

What a shame, it was clear that allowing Djokovic to hold in that first game would lead to this but ofc it's still disappointing. Basically this is gonna go the same way it was always going to, Zverev takes the first set and Djokovic easily wins the next three
I guess at least I'm glad I saw it coming before the match even started, the disappointment is lesser that way

Because he's lost some focus and if he goes big he will hit errors.

Nobody can maintain the level for an entire match that Zverev played in the 1st set.

Novak HOLDS at love. 3-0. That's it for Zedzilla.
Set 3 and set 4 will probably be even worse.
Meanwhile Medvedev just BROKE his TV.

Indeed - as soon as Z won the first, I put money on Djoko to win ;-)
He's only a part-time choker though if I might say so. He will stay dangerous. Remember the match in Australia when phases of dominance for both players took turns. And as embarrassing Zverev's errors and double faults may be from time to time, it's also impressive how he mentally ignores them and fights back from time to time.

I'm sure Rod would like to see Novak get a calendar grand slam.

Zverev has not choked yet. Stop it. A poor service game can happen to anyone.

Only players who can beat Novak in US Open is Stan and Rafa. They are in a repair shop.

Hitting more than one 1st serve, not botching a putaway forehand and then not DFing on BP isn't an impossible standard we're holding him to in that 2nd game.
He might as well hit errors as lose in long rallies where his play is directionless.

Zverev just needs to regather. If he is to win, he is more likely than not going to lose at least one set. Just keep calm and stay focused. He will get chances.

Zed loses his serve but the good news for him he still can break Djokovic.
Really it's all about serve between those two recently.
Zed can just serve from a tree and get through his games easier while Novak needs to play and play for almost every game. That's too much pressure for anyone.
