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

[cilantro]

One hand bh lob is ridiculously hard. Thiem's is ****in legit

 

[Standaa]

lmao now I just want a bagel

 

[phl92]

4-0!!!

 

[MeatTornado]

Just imagine if Thiem wins the FO.

Right now I'm still struggling to imagine him winning this one.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Virtual bagel lol

 

[MichaelNadal]

 

[James P]

4-0! 3rd set

 

[tennisaddict]

Chances of a 7 time AO champion getting bagelled ???

 

[kevaninho]

WOW.

This match is reminding more and more of Federer meltdown in USO 2009.

Near invincible in set 1 and completely stubborn and put of it in others.

Id hardly say he was invincible in the 1st set... Thiem has just taken a while to get going.

 

[weakera]

I'll say it again, we haven't seen Djokovic play truly great tennis since the 19 AO Final. Which to me is more troubling than this match moving forward.

 

[Zetty]

Thiem with foot firmly placed in Djokovic's ass

 

[D.Nalby12]

To be Fair Thiem should have won this 3-0. He had no business losing first set after comeback.

 

[Keystoner]

There is no wonder why Djokovic isn't a fan favorite.

 

[The Guru]

Happy for Thiem because he's a great guy but man does this one hurt.

 

[tennis_pro]

4-0 and Thiem didn't really have to do a lot.

 

[MeatTornado]

lmao now I just want a bagel

Fool's gold.

That'll only **** Novak off.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Somehow I doubt it. Nadal getting it here beating this Djokovic in an AO final to get 20 would be the icing on the cake.

Don't doubt it, Thiem is my second fav player and has been for years, and Rafa would stay 3 slams ahead

 

[junior74]

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.

True, but has tennis ever seen a guy who can make comebacks like Novak?

He can play like he is drunk, and still come back and play super high level 30 minutes later...

 

[kevaninho]

Chances of a 7 time AO champion getting bagelled ???

Typical, a Fed fan getting overly excited if Nadal or Djokovic are in trouble in a match.

Sad.

 

[CentreCourt]

He served 84 % in first set. Not sure after.

He won the first set. Problems have come after that. His backhand down the line looks off as well. Usually the most dependable shot in tennis.

Interesting to watch Djokovic have to adapt his game though.

 

[octogon]

Novak's odds of getting to 20 slams are not good at all. None of the younger players fear him at all. He got to the final with the easiest possible draw for him up to the Semis, but if he gets the likes of Thiem, Tsitsipas, Medvedev regularly in his way, he's in trouble.

 

[speedysteve]

Where are all the TTW experts who said Thiem wouldn't even win set 2 after the break of serve?

I guess many didn't expect ******** to malfunction so.. plenty of time for a reboot.

 

[Otacon]

6-0 in an AO final !!!!!!!

 

[BeatlesFan]

Djoker loses 6 games in a row, he hasn't won a game since the dispute with the ump.

 

[onyxrose81]

Nole is just going to let this set go. There’s no way to come back from dB down. But I don’t think he can get two sets in a row. So I guess it’s GSM Thiem?

Congrats to Dom though.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I saw this coming from miles away after all the recent hype about his serve...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Thiem big favourite but djoko will keep fighting and believe!

 

[kevaninho]

Djokovic will come back strong in the 4th IMO. Then its anyones in the 5th.

 

[romeo8880]

It goes to show how good dorks defensive and ground game are to win as much as he has, Bc his serve is and always has been extremely weak

 

[tennisaddict]

Typical, a Fed fan getting overly excited if Nadal or Djokovic are in trouble in a match.

Sad.

It is not a everyday occurrence a 7 time champion gets bagelled in a major final.

 

[Nadal_King]

A bagel in the final of your favourite slam would be funny!!!

 

[The Guru]

Djokovic went from serving better than he ever has too having a Nishikori serve that's the difference in the match

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Typical, a Fed fan getting overly excited if Nadal or Djokovic are in trouble in a match.

Sad.

It's typical for each rival's fan, lol

 

[junior74]

Excellent hands there from Novak - beautiful...

 

[Breakpointerer]

Awesome pickup from Djokovic there.

 

[iopzzza]

Match is over Good job Thiem.

 

[Hitman]

Don't doubt it, Thiem is my second fav player and has been for years, and Rafa would stay 3 slams ahead

I am talking about the Nadal fanbase, not just individuals. Overall Nadal getting this Djokovic and beating him would create insane bragging rights.

 

[NatF]

Awesome volley

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Virtual bagel lol

Yeah what the hell is this, it's like Noel is 38 today.

 

[Nostradamus]

Well if youd watched enough tennis over the years, things generally do change from set to set ..

Dominick's power is wearing down novak and making him tired...……...… I thought Dominick played much more tennis than novak so I didn't think it would happen but it is happening...……...lol. look at that biceps...………...WOW. See guys,, work on that biceps

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Djokovic went from serving better than he ever has too having a Nishikori serve that's the difference in the match

Overserving did him in

 

[James P]

Finally stops the bleeding.

 

[Otacon]

Novak's odds of getting to 20 slams are not good at all. None of the younger players fear him at all. He got to the final with the easiest possible draw for him up to the Semis, but if he gets the likes of Thiem, Tsitsipas, Medvedev regularly in his way, he's in trouble.

Yeah yeah, nice autosuggestion.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Novak with more DF's than aces.

 

[DRII]

well, since it looks like Djokovic is completely imploding this set; Thiem at least has taken the chance to practice some slice serves up the T!

he hasn't made one yet!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Thiem 4-0!

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

So Novak can hit that volley beautifully, but every other volley is missed or hit right back to Thiem.

 

[swordtennis]

LMAO Fed fans on the thread making up all sorts of stories.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Predictions everyone?

 

[The Guru]

Thiem just a Stan that moves well that's a mental mug so if he's not choking he's a great matchup against Djokovic.
