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

[tennisaddict]

Not expecting a Houdini, just hoping the match ends by 8 pm so I can watch my ballgame, it too is on ESPN

You will not miss, i assure you

 

[gjm127]

USO is way worse than RG.

AO>>>W>>>RG>>>>>>>>>USO

Agreed upon by all objective tennis observers.

Very true. That's why Thiem got so far at USO. That's why Federer has been winning AOs all of a sudden lol

 

[icedevil0289]

Who expects a Houdini from Delpo?

Is it bad if I said only if fed were on the other side

 

[Noleberic123]

These returns are ridiculous

 

[I Am Finnish]

I can't believe people expect a Houdini from Delpo. And Djokovic is no Federer to collapse from here.

 

[joekapa]

I thought Delpo would take a set, and he almost did. But I stopped watching after the 2nd set. That TB was crushing. If Delpo takes set 3, could he possible run the whole thing with two more sets?

If you want it enough , it could happen.

 

[zagor]

I am seeing some questions about Delpo coming back from 0-2 sets down

Yes, asking if he ever did. Everyone knows (Delpo included) he won't do it in this match.

Even Fed wouldn’t choke a two set lead in a slam final.

How many forehands are you going to miss today Del Potro? Oh sorry, Del Thortro...

 

[IowaGuy]

Djok is getting some 125+ mph returns back nicely, not giving DelPo many free points on serve...

 

[Ann]

NOBODY EXPECTS A HOUDINI. LMAO

Delpo looks tired to break points Djokovic to break points Djokovic to break points Djokovic

 

[RF-18]

Hajde sada nole!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Still scares me to death every time he's about to hit one.

Same. Even the one that is not volley.

 

[icedevil0289]

What a timely df

 

[Superswede]

nail in the coffin?

 

[Maestroesque]

like clockwork...

 

[IowaGuy]

Bad time for first DF of the match!

 

[Legend of Borg]

That's a mental block, he's fighting pretty hard but doesn't truly believe he can pull it off. It was the same situation with Kachanov and Thiem against Nadal this tourney.

how can you differentiate mental block from just not being good enough though?

not everyone can beat nadal and not everyone that loses to him is a choker

 

[Service Ace]

GSM Djokovic

 

[1477aces]

damn djokovic about clinch this

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Novak serving for the match

 

[Achilles82]

Serving for championship. Lets go baby, 14th slam.

 

[Noleberic123]

14 is a much nicer number than 13

 

[Fedeonic]

Djokovic will serve for the title. The 2nd set truly broke Juan mentally.

 

[Ledigs]

Poor Del po. crowd was whistling during that second serve when he DF

HE BREAKS

SERVING FOR THE 14TH

 

[BrokenGears]

TAKES THE BREAK! ONE GAME AWAY!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

How many forehands are you going to miss today Del Potro? Oh sorry, Del Thortro...

Neutered his powers to give Norman Osborn a shot at beating him in the new Spiderman game.

 

[CYGS]

Now no more drama. END IT, DJOKOGOAT!

 

[Achilles82]

Did someone shout at Delpos second serve motion?

 

[metsman]

khachanov and thiem choked, it was pretty clear.

Delpo, I don't think the current version of himself is good enough to even beat a meh Djokovic, but he hasn't done himself any favors either with some of these misses.

 

[TripleATeam]

Now just hold your damn serve.

 

[tennisaddict]

you expect it from those mugs, but I thought delpo was made of stronger stuff. Then again, he's shown since the surgeries that he isn't really. Not much confidence in his game due to obvious reasons.

Over 5 sets, he clearly does not have the weapons to beat either Nadal or Djoker.

 

[onyxrose81]

Come on Novak. I’m a bit tired.

 

[Superswede]

Ok Novak - serve it out

 

[zagor]

Is it bad if I said only if fed were on the other side

No lol, it's based on facts.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Djokovic please end this soon. I have to uhm, work.

 

[mike danny]

Seriously, who really believes that Delpo can stillbe a threat to the Big 3 in slams with the exception of a 37 year old Fed?

 

[AndyM]

Djokovic gets the break Djokovic gets the break Djokovic gets the break

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Backboard Djokovic! What a superman!

 

[maxrenn]

Congrats Novak, what a comeback it has been since RG.

 

[BrokenGears]

Wtf was that dropper

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[IowaGuy]

What a crazy dropper attempt from Djok !?!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

He annihilated RAFA

 

[metsman]

Over 5 sets, he clearly does not have the weapons to beat either Nadal or Djoker.

I think he could, but he just doesn't have confidence in his BH and gets too tight on his FH as a result.
