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

[Federer and Del Potro]

 

[powerangle]

Novak just needs to keep holding and getting into Dom's service games. He'll eventually crack..

 

[RaulRamirez]

Christ, I can't stop laughing at the eyes closed 1HBH of Thiem every time I see it now. You can't unsee it.

...and he can't SEE it.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Quick hold, now the break is surely to happen.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Strong hold from Novak! Big hitting!

 

[James P]

Djokovic too good in that service game.

 

[OrangeOne]

The Australian crowd loves Murray. Wouldn't have happened that often.

Murray yelled at himself. He yelled at his box. I don't remember him going the crowd - I could be wrong?

 

[Azure]

Currently so is mine

Please this is very distracting. I wanna watch the match

 

[The Guru]

*Djokovic exists* Djokovic wonders why he doesn't get any support hur dur I've said this six times in this thread alone

 

[D.Nalby12]

Thiem is much tougher opponent in Slam final than grandpaFed. He can run fast, he can hit forehand on stretch, most important factor that he has ground game that does the damage. Federer has just serve and bunch of ineffective tricks. Novak always looks man in control in Fedovic matches. Today he has unsettled thanks to powerful groundstrokes of Thiem.

 

[joekapa]

lol, such a baby... So the crowd cheers for the underdog and #5 in the world. It was a good hold, giving them crap about that lol

When has the crowd ever cheered for Novak ?

 

[swordtennis]

Yes use the heckling as motivation.

 

[powerangle]

How many years ago was the Drunk Djoko final again?

The only "drunk djoko" final that I know of wasn't an AO final. It was the Shanghai 2013 final against Delpo.

 

[Fedinkum]

Novak regroups and plays high level again. Timmy better get the job done this set soon.

 

[OrangeOne]

Novak's smiles every time he loses a game and people wonder why he isn't loved.

Yup. He also has a look of "I was ripped off" every time someone defends like crazy or paints a line - exactly the things he is famous for.

Ironically, if someone out-defends Nadal, he normally gives them credit for it, just as Fed does for crazy winners...

 

[The Green Mile]

When has the crowd ever cheered for Novak ?

I'm not even talking about crowd being ***** to Novak. Crowd literally cheered after Thiem came through a tough game and Novak gave the crowd sh1t about it lol. And crowds do cheer for Novak, just not as much as other players

Thiem still has a break at 4-3, on serve!

With that kind of inside out FH and a decent serve why not? Almost like Fed's current game except for the umpteen UE we saw from Fed.

Oh, Thiem has some nice drop shots too.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Djokovic trying to power up via grunting

 

[EdSWright]

At the AO?

The one where he went paralytic for several games against Murray - Murray wasn't sure whether to celebrate victory or call an ambulance.

 

[Street]

This thread in a nutshell - And he wonders why nobody likes him lol

 

[cilantro]

Don't apologize after that kind of tape clippa

 

[Otacon]

Hasta la vista Nole

 

[cilantro]

Thiem is crazy late on his bh dtls

 

[MichaelNadal]

Wow Thiem

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Thiem hitting right to Djokovic with the entire other side of court open

Laughs in Federer

 

[Breakpointerer]

Great stuff, nice FH dropper.

 

[ServeToWin]

Novak seems to find the depth in his shots again. Thiem may make errors if Novak keep hitting deep like in this game.

 

[Fedinkum]

Thiem's off forehand is his best offense.

 

[Hitman]

That was a really good point from Thiem, beautiful touch after some damn crazy power.

 

[StrongRule]

Thiem, you had the whole court open!!! Well, there is the choke.

 

[junior74]

Beautiful dropper after a well constructed point!

Learned his lesson at 30-30 unlike Fred

 

[cilantro]

Damn Thiem finally use his peripherals

 

[onyxrose81]

I finally put StrongRule on ignore. Greatest decision I’ve ever made.

Sure, but the forehand is clicking now and RN that's enough....

 

[Hitman]

The one where he went paralytic for several games against Murray - Murray wasn't sure whether to celebrate victory or call an ambulance.

I think that was the next year, when Murray was ahead in the score, 2013.

 

[Fedinkum]

Holy fick, that gave a fright when it loaded up so big on my lap top...ahahahahhaha. That is awesome!!

Hasta la vista Nole

 

[Lleytonstation]
