2018 US Open F - JM Del Potro (3) vs Novak Djokovic (6)

[Deleted member 756486]

Talk about glory hunting. You just can't lose, man.

If Del Potro somehow wins we'll hear vamos from you lmao.

Lol I hate this crowd man.

 

[mightyrick]

it's pretty predicable if you've seen delpo play recently.

Really, has it been this bad? I just looked at the stats. In two sets, he's got 21 forehand unforced errors versus only 10 on the backhand side.

If this is how he's been playing, I have no idea how he got through to the final. Even with Nadal's retirement.

Hitman did you go to bed by the way Joe goes up two sets to love

I am watching.

 

[Deon Sanders]

He’ll tie Sampras with 14 GS.

He will have 13

6 Aus, 3 US, 4 Wimby

 

[AndyM]

Know if Joco wins this heat I speed at

 

[StannisTheMannis]

He’ll tie Sampras with 14 GS.

His place among the greats moves above Sampras with 14

 

[Sudacafan]

Delpo doesn’t get a break. If he beats Nadal, there’s Djokovic. If he beats Djokovic, there’s Nadal.

 

[reaper]

2 of the top 4 players in the world, a 95 minute set and both with clearly more UE than winners. Glacial conditions.

 

[Devil_dog]

Is it me or does Novak wins only by his opponent’s errors? IMO, he is sort of a pusher.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Bleh!

 

[Mainad]

Is Pete watching

Probably sat at home in front of the TV biting what's left of his nails.

he hasn't faced anyone of real note given that nadal was dead. But this is just his standard level lately, he's just not the player he used to be. His BH and movement are too big a liability.

 

[AndyM]

6 Aziz for Wimpy's that would be three us and one French 14 you forgot he's won French Open

 

[a10best]

46-1 would be nice for Delpo

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko is a man on a mission! That will shut the yanks up!

 

[NoleFam]

I think they have the same amount of winners. And no he's not a pusher.

 

[disgruntledamsel]

It’s just the NY crowd that are like this. Scumbags.

Feel sorry for Nole. He better shut them down again.

I don’t know about that. I fear for Chicago. Although just an exo, I hope there is respectful decorum.

 

[Sudacafan]

This match is exactly how I imagined it. Djokovic has no imagination.

 

[tennis_pro]

Lol I hate this crowd man.

Who doesn't?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Who doesn't?

Serena

 

[Bellucci]

Just hope a quickly set now to finish the match.

 

[Standaa]

Who doesn't?

Serena.

 

[Deon Sanders]

I don’t know about that. I fear for Chicago. Although just an exo, I hope there is respectful decorum.

The mentalities are very similar between New York and Chicago

Dont expect anything different

He forces the errors.

Congrats to Djoker for his 3rd USO title, 14th career slam title, and his 5th year-end #1.

Delpo made the 2nd set entertaining. But he was clearly overmatched here. There is no shame in that. Delpo battled like a warrior, but was eventually subdued by the ultimate defender.

Nice work, Djokovic. You are extremely clutch.

 

[Sudacafan]

Delpo is so far away, even if he wins the third set.

 

[icedevil0289]

I'm probably going to tap out soon, result is expected and tbh its like watching people play in the mud, just not exciting for me, but congrats to novak and his nice fans for an amazing year. well deserved

 

[Otacon]

Delpo's returns on 2nd serves are quite pathetic.

 

[tennis4me]

If I heard it correct, the commie just said Novak is 182-1 when he's up 2 sets in a Major.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Serena

That tells you everything you need to know.

 

[disgruntledamsel]

What's going on with moisture on the court? It's a baseline match where the middle of the court at one end gets wet. Doesn't seem to be sweat from the player.

It’s leaking from the roof! GOOD GRIEF

 

[-NN-]

If Djokovic does win this match (likely) then yeah there's a good chance he ends the year #1. What an emphatic turnaround that would be (and already is).

 

[reaper]

he hasn't faced anyone of real note given that nadal was dead. But this is just his standard level lately, he's just not the player he used to be. His BH and movement are too big a liability.

It was his forehand that cost him in that set. He made 4 UE off that side in the tie break. Missed a routine forehand on BP. Shots he would normally have made.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Why does every McEnroe sentence have to involve a superlative?

 

[Service Ace]

Del Potro moves about as well as a cement truck

 

[BrokenGears]

Insane point

 

[Deleted member 21996]

Seems like No Lele will be taking it from De Lo Pt Barnum

Nice work, Djokovic. You are extremely clutch.

I am tired of seeing Delpo battling as a warrior. He should battle as a p*ssy to see if something different happens.

 

[TripleATeam]

What a point!

 

[tennis_pro]

Serena

Serena.

 

[GabeT]

Who doesn't?

Hey, I’m part of the crowd!

 

[underground]

He will have 13

6 Aus, 3 US, 4 Wimby

Did you just forget RG??!!!

 

[existential dread]

Why does every McEnroe sentence have to involve a superlative?

He's a New Yorker.

 

[a10best]

I wish Wawrinka could have faced Djokovic

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Djoko is a man on a mission! That will shut the yanks up!

He was very impressive on that last point. Truly playing his heart out.

Expect a lopsided third set.

 

[Dilexson]

Those full strech - cross court - backhand - counter punches are scary!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a point won by Djoko!

 

[StannisTheMannis]

Crowd is dead lol

 

[metsman]

this is a very berdych performance from delpo

 

[The Green Mile]

Delpo's returns on 2nd serves are quite pathetic.

Yeah, it's quite disappointing. Many 80-85 mph 2nd serves from Nole today as well....

 

[Sudacafan]

That’s how real tennis is.
