2020 Australian open final :- [5] Dominic Thiem v/s [2] Novak Djokovic

[Lleytonstation]

People writing off Djokovic has probably never watched that guy play before

He is still the heavy fav Even at this point.

 

[Azure]

Oh my what's this with Novak?

 

[Zetty]

Djokovic gettin' Wawrinka'd

 

[cilantro]

People writing off Djokovic has probably never watched that guy play before

Yeah this is his version of Nadal taking medical timeouts lol

 

[RaulRamirez]

Credit Thiem, though Novak missed opportunities.

 

[Sabrina]

Trouble for Nole...He must hold this game.

 

[AceSalvo]

Djoko is not playing an ancient Nadal or an old Fed or his lapdog Murray for once. Thiem can go the distance with ample power left. That has got to be in the mind of Djoko.

 

[The Green Mile]

5 DFs now...

 

[Feather]

0-30 down Novak

 

[Fedinkum]

They are definitely cheering more for Thiem. Which makes sense when you consider the underdog factor as well as all of the salty Fedal fans.

Australian crowd does not like to be yelled at...don't fook with them

 

[Otacon]

Importantissimo hold there.

 

[Nostradamus]

Massive hold.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Consistent Big hitter with good athletic abilities and return = Answer to Novak' game

 

[Lleytonstation]

NAILED IT!

Get a break here though...

 

[Krish0608]

Djokovic looks done.

I have never seen this before.

I have. It’s called playing possum. A trick out of the Potro rule book.

 

[James P]

Thiem with another good opportunity here. Slam the door on this set!

 

[MeatTornado]

Crucial to get a double-break here for Thiem before Novak's level comes back.

 

[onyxrose81]

Novak had chances. What can you say?

 

[Luiz Felipe]

Djokovic needs a sugar injection. Really weird

 

[Meles]

Chair umpire puts sweatshirt on; beginning of the end for Nole

 

[Azure]

Crowd heckling and cheering his DF. Is that what's bothering him? Feel bad for him

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Tim needs this second break

 

[KINGROGER]

They are definitely cheering more for Thiem. Which makes sense when you consider the underdog factor as well as all of the salty Fedal fans.

40-15 probably cost him chance of crowd support forever.

 

[tennis_pro]

Thiem should just keep the ball in play at this point.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Around 1.5 hours until Novak isn't AO champion anymore.....

 

[Cortana]

Came back from swimming, missed out the last 45min.

How is Djokovic doing?

 

[EsteL]

If Novak does not take this to five sets at least, his mental strength claims can take a back seat.

 

[Breakpointerer]

That BH is fire!!!

 

[AceSalvo]

Oh yeahhh..

BHDTL. BP chances.

 

[ChrisRF]

Djokovic looks done.

I have never seen this before.

Last year RG, also against Thiem. He was anywhere else, but not fighting for a chance to win his 2nd NCYGS. Still it went to 5 sets though.

 

[The Guru]

Djokovic gets no free points off serve ever. Thiem returning to well unless Thiem runs out of energy its GSM.

 

[Luiz Felipe]

Thats it!! Bh from thiem is working!! Bagel incoming!!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Patrick’s “hello” makes an appearance

 

[phl92]

Thiem's BH is loading 98% filled

 

[James P]

Wawrinka-esque BH DTL winner

 

[NatF]

Huge hitting that point. BP again.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Novak will apparently be fined $20,000 for touching the chair umpire’s shoes.

[Meles]

 

[tennis_pro]

Dat backhand tho...

15-40, virtual set points for Thiem

 

[RaulRamirez]

Djokovic gettin' Wawrinka'd

...a faster, younger, more athletic version.

 

[cilantro]

What shot did Thiem sacrifice to get the bh dtl going

 

[onyxrose81]

At least Thiem is awesome so I’ll be happy for him.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Came back from swimming, missed out the last 45min.

How is Djokovic doing?

poopoo

 

[Rogfan]

Djoker may still win this but at least his fans now know what it feels like to play someone 6 yrs younger, fitter and stronger. Thiem isn’t even a ATG (yet) and they haven’t played 50 times.

 

[MichaelNadal]

 

[Sabrina]

Lol horrible call from the line judge. Perfect return from Thiem.

 

[MeatTornado]

Thiem should just keep the ball in play at this point.

That's what he tried to do on the 15-30 point but he got bored

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

People writing off Djokovic has probably never watched that guy play before

Didn’t learn from the 300 poasts saying it in Wimb final

 

[The Guru]

Pretty much accurate lol

 

[MeatTornado]

Patrick’s “hello” makes an appearance

Might one say that call was out of nowhere?
