Sampras in Wimbledon 2000 - Iconic, tears in his eyes - with his parents there and it meant so much to him. Ivanisevic in Wimbledon 2001: Most dramatic Tennis match and an insane final game

Hard to predict. Alcaraz is really the only one who can beat Novak in a slam final even when Novak is playing at his best. For the UsOpen, I'd give the slight edge to Novak as Alcaraz hasn't played at his Wimbledon level in the fall hardcourt season. That said, if Alcaraz irons out a few chinks...

We can overanalyze as much as we want. But tennis is a game of inches. It was all about the 2nd set in the last 2 slams - where 1 pt basically decided the match. 2nd sets in both Wimbledon and UsOpen were long and decisive and the loser had a set point in both. Wimbledon Final: Djokovic...

For all the hype, the next gen players are really poor at passing shots. Even Alcaraz is not so great at that. Time was when you would approach the net while playing against Nadal. Rafa would pass you easily (especially from his backhand). Every SINGLE time. I was just completely...

A slam match vs Novak can NEVER be 50-50. Doesn't matter if one is a fan or not, but Novak has won so many of these matches over almost every player imaginable. Sure - he loses some. But he wins most of them. That is why he has 23 slams and could go several more. He's beaten the best players...

His easiest slam victory IMO. Almost as easy as 2018 UsOpen.

Match over. 24th slam incoming for Novak. I don't see him being stopped until he gets to 30 slams.

None of these players have a prayer of beating Novak.

Alcaraz looks done physically. Just missed a the most important moments. That's why he is not an ATG. Big 3 would have broken for sure.

The title is as good as done for Novak. Medvedev poses zero threat. Carlos will lose this, but if he wins he will have nothing for the final.

This will be a BRUTAL battle. 5 hours plus. The winner will have NOTHING left for the final. This tournament has hardly had any good matches. The final will be a damp squib.

Novak had a powder puff draw. And unless Alcaraz wins easily vs Med, Novak's title path would be laughably easy. Med has zero chance vs Novak. Alcaraz has a legit shot, but with a longer SF he would have very little chance of winning the title.

Death... taxes.. and Novak in TB. 3 things that will be true forever for all eternity.

What a response from Novak. The most mentally strong player in the history of Tennis. Perhaps in the history of all sports. What a mental titan.

CYGS 2024 and 30 slams incoming.
