Novak GOATing. His forehand is also becoming among the best in the game.

Imagine a GOAT backhand plus a GOAT forehand. How do you beat such a player? No place to attack and nowhere to go.
 
So Pouille gets to a tie break in the first set, then makes an unforced error at 1-2. He then double faults to go down 1-4, then misses a put away to go down 1-5. He's now down 0-3 in the 2nd. In short he was playing very well until he made a simple unforced error. That unforced error caused his entire game to unravel for the following 20 minutes. Mental fragility on an epic scale.
 
Disheartening for Pouille, Novak still striking the ball supremely well off both wings lol. His forehand has been struck with the perfect depth/width combination today.

Pouille has just collapsed big time...
