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

[cilantro]

Does Djokovic still get those weird spasm things like when he was younger and ate gluten or some ****

 

[The Guru]

Djokovic serve is getting him nothing since when can Thiem return like this

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko clowned that game. Credit to Thiem though. 2-1 Thiem!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

There’s Fowler’s classic “out of nowhere” when any big 3 player gets broken

 

[tennis_pro]

We have a match.

 

[Hitman]

Djokovic doing the same thing Thiem did in the last set, serving too big on second serves. He looks unsettled.

 

[Fedinkum]

Eat my Glut! Yay!!!

 

[LETitBE]

DF and Thiem breaks
Thank you very many

isnt it!

 

[Meles]

 

[onyxrose81]

The spirit of Mug is contagious.

 

[StrongRule]

Just turned on. Thiem breaks, but I doubt anyone really expects him to hold until the end of the set.

 

[powerangle]

Novak's entering the down-in-the-dumps level. Dominic capitalizes.

 

[joekapa]

Is the crowd getting to him that much ?

 

[RaulRamirez]

Question: In general, what weaknesses does Thiem still have? I don't see much. And his speed and power off both wings is forcing Novak to hit into tight windows. (Sounds like a role reversal.)

 

[Lleytonstation]

I disagree. Djokovic was great on Thiem's service games, true, but there were chances there in many points. Thiem doesn't need unrealistic consistency, he just needs some.

See, I told you.

But honestly think Djoker breaks back, that is what he does. No way Thiem can hold for an entire set.

 

[OrangeOne]

Two consecutive slam finals with no Jelena, odd to say the least

Reportedly she was in London for the Wimbledon final, but did not attend. Very odd.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

No matter the result thiem is a player. He is here to stay.

I agree. He’s the real deal whether he wins today or not. He’s gonna win a slam soon!

Injured back.....shoulder. Common cough and cold, bird flu, SARS

 

[lud]

Djokovic tastes his own medicine. Thiem's returns are apsolutely brilliant.

 

[Fedinkum]

Djokovic doing the same thing Thiem did in the last set, serving too big on second serves. He looks unsettled.

Nole lost his focus for the entire game.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

 

[Azure]

Thiem is too cute lol. Such a loveable guy...especially first set, hits a smash and apologizes to the crowd.

 

[weakera]

Surprised by Nole's inconsistency today. We haven't really seen his highest level since the 19 AO final in my opinion. Patchy for his standards all the way since.

 

[Nostradamus]

Wow,, novak thinks his improvement is going for HUGE 2nd serves...…….. but I don't think that is good idea. Novak is defending counterpunching type of player, you don't need huge 2nd serve for that. Goran is dumb

 

[Hitman]

Nole lost his focus for the entire game.

Deserved to be punished for it to be fair

 

[ChrisRF]

Sometimes I wonder how good Djokovic could be if he wouldn’t be such a strange character and mental wreck in rather harmless situations.

And what’s even stranger: All of a sudden he can be mentally strong again and miss nothing when it really matters.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Is that King Joffrey? He looks so nice here.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Djokovic needs a sugar rush

He needs Sweet Chin Music

 

[D.Nalby12]

Level wise Thiem is better but he already has lost one set with loose start and given his choking abilities it's hard to see him closing this in less than five sets. (Even if he wins).

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Djokovic summoning the power of Wawrinka

 

[UnforcedTerror]

The longer that match, the better for Domi.

If he could take it to the 5th set, I would favor him for sure.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Fully expect Djoker to get the break back

 

[Deleted member 766172]

Big second serve hurting Djokovic more than it is helping. Two double faults on the slice serve. Once to cause break point, and again to get broken.

 

[swordtennis]

Ugly set by both. This is going to be a gut it out fest now. Ugh.

 

[TripleATeam]

See, I told you.

But honestly think Djoker breaks back, that is what he does. No way Thiem can hold for an entire set.

We'll see. I agree, but my fear for this match was Thiem's difficulty to predict.

 

[weakera]

Thiem's speed is much improved. Got to that dropper so easily.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko clowning at minute. Thiem on top! Djoko will respond no doubt though.

 

[cilantro]

Wtf Thiem's dad looks like he's 30

 

[OrangeOne]

First time Thiem's energy level has looked sound when running for that dropper

 

[StrongRule]

Surprised by Nole's inconsistency today. We haven't really seen his highest level since the 19 AO final in my opinion. Patchy for his standards all the way since.

Still won Wimbledon and will win today. (let's get real, Thiem isn't winning this after losing the first set)

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

1000 bucks says if Thiem gets broken this set Fowler will say “out of nowhere” again

 

[D.Nalby12]

We have a match.

I hope your prediction comes true.

 

[NatF]

Question: In general, what weaknesses does Thiem still have? I don't see much. And his speed and power off both wings is forcing Novak to hit into tight windows. (Sounds like a role reversal.)

Doesn't have an elite point starter e.g. serve or return, especially return. Other than that mental stuff like shot selection.

 

[RaulRamirez]

Sometimes, Novak gets a little dropshot happy when he's getting outhit from the ground. Troubling as a fan.

 

[Cortana]

Djokovic stopped playing good at 4-1 in the 1st set. Winning the 1st set was pure luck.

I stopped watching now. Going for a swim for an hour. Hopefully it looks better when I'm back.

 

[tennis_pro]

Djokovic at his current best level could barely close out the 1st set and needed a choke job to do it too. The minute his level dropped Thiem broke.

Thiem will win this.

 

[Josh Lyman]

I went to drop off trash during the changeover and there was a girl in the gym. At 5am!

 

[Fedinkum]

Is the crowd getting to him that much ?

Yep...Novak gave them a roar during Set 1 and the crowd double down.

 

[Meles]

See, I told you.

But honestly think Djoker breaks back, that is what he does. No way Thiem can hold for an entire set.

40-0......

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Thiem holds
