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

[chjtennis]

That slice serve has been very effective. Game point.

 

[Fedalfan]

Good hold. That's the way, Thiem.

 

[Breakpointerer]

At least he avoids the double break.

 

[KINGROGER]

Thiem needed an error probes Djoker to win it, and it did not last.

Didn’t even need that. All he has to do is keep the ball in play with consistency but he misses sitter passes.

 

[swordtennis]

Long matches early. Cant get them set for the 1hbh.

 

[EdSWright]

I have seen that match over a dozen times in full. Never get tired of it.

Neither did Nadal.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Only Fed did frosted tips better

If Fed still looked like that I couldn’t in good conscience root for him

 

[phl92]

he seems tired yes...

 

[StrongRule]

What a joke. Of course NOW he holds serve. Where was that in the previous service game?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Big hold for Thiem but still advantage djoko!!

 

[chjtennis]

Wow, props to Thiem. That was a very, very tough hold.

 

[RF-18]

hold the serve

 

[Oakel]

Lol everybody so mad at Novak. Give credit where it’s due. He was lacking energy and playing like crap. Refocused, got energy back, and became the incredible defensive wall that he is.

I think the frustration is more with Thiem, Novak was off and he didnt take advantage.

 

[AceSalvo]

Had to rub my eyes to make sure it wasn’t Fed

We already got confirmation Thiem was playing like Fed earlier today.

 

[imonfire]

Time to break back Thiem!

 

[RaulRamirez]

Thiems legs not moving well. Long matches

I wish I could move like that at peak age, and peak energy...he's still motoring pretty well

 

[Leelord337]

if thiem loses this match he should buy a porsche so he'll feel better

 

[TrojanTennis]

Thiem just needs to be patient. Knife the backhand slice and work the rally to his forehand and dictate his FH. Stay steady on his BH. Get his first serves in and he will win.

Whhhyyyy do youuu redline onlyy againsst Nadaaaaalllll. I can't watch this anymore.

Considering the pathetic performances at RG 2017-19, I really wouldn't complain if I were you.

 

[JoelSandwich]

And undisputedly choked at the end

True but at least he only choked at the very end as opposed to an entire set or series of games
(And I can kinda forgive the choke anyway since he played fine in the last game minus the double faults and he was up against an incredibly strong opponent)

 

[Third Serve]

What a joke. Of course NOW he holds serve. Where was that in the previous service game?

TBF you could say that every time someone holds serve after getting broken.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Djokovic can't hold serve to save his life, sigh

 

[Lleytonstation]

This feels a lot like the Med match. We are making progress guys. In a few more years they will win one...



maybe.

 

[Cortana]

This isn't over guys. I'm still nervous about ND winning.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Thiem holds

3*-2

 

[Krish0608]

Come on Timmy. Fight.

 

[Fed881981]

One the one hand, I want Thiem to win. On the other, I rather have Djokovic having the slam record than a clay courter.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Only regret I have as a viewer is not getting a 4th set Tb . Can only be saved with a 5th set Tb but I don’t really want a slam to come down to a 10 pt Tb

 

[tennisaddict]

At least, Thiem did not get fooled like Andy Murray with Novak's dip in level mid match. Just that Djoker came back to his peak level end of 3rd set.

 

[King No1e]

This match bodes well for Thiem regardless. He's playing with fearless confident authority, but Djokovic is just giving us a religious experience right now. Not much you can do in the face of that. #8 on his racquet, but Thiem is dangerous still.

 

[JoelSandwich]

when kohlschreiber played roddick in 2006 in the aussie open they were both +100 winners/unforced errors never seen such a ratio in a match

I’ll have to check that match out then
Never seen it before

 

[BringBackWood]

yet another final marred by gamemanship.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Djoker lulls his opponents to sleep these days, then strikes.

 

[OrangeOne]

Good to see the crowd warming to the underdog.

Or are they just cheering for the guy who didn't swear at them to shut up, or the guy who didn't mock them cheering, or the guy who didn't scream AT them when winning?

 

[TennisFan3]

Another year of big 3 domination. Sad.

Nope. Only Djokovic domination.

Please tell me when Federer or Nadal win a slam.

RG is danger for Rafa. And I don't think Fed beats Novak in Wimbledon.

 

[Fedinkum]

Please Lord...I can't stand another shirt ripping and psychotic roar from Novak...I will be a good boi this year.

 

[swordtennis]

I wish I could move like that at peak age, and peak energy...he's still motoring pretty well

He is a physical beast. Huge props to the austrian oak.

 

[AceSalvo]

Thiem choking so bad. Can't even hit his normal BH. Such a shame that he is mentally off.

 

[romeo8880]

Incredible defense

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing defence from the serbinator!!

 

[James P]

Quick 40-0. Nothing doing this game.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Great defense ends in more bad misses

 

[_GOATbis]

This AO is one the most boring ever.

5th set tiebreak killed tennis.

 

[Noleberic123]

This isn't over guys. I'm still nervous about ND winning.

Me too. But Djokovic looks as solid as a rock and Thiem is making more unforced errors

 

[Yugram]

Another year of big 3 domination. Sad.

Big2 domination you mean.

 

[MeatTornado]

This match bodes well for Thiem regardless. He's playing with fearless confident authority, but Djokovic is just giving us a religious experience right now. Not much you can do in the face of that. #8 on his racquet, but Thiem is dangerous still.

We are not watching the same match.

 

[SummerBreeze]

Djokovic often needs a choke from his opponent these days

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Djokovic fans deserve a 40-15. Please make it happen. Pleaaase.

 

[junior74]

Incredible how easy it is to predict the winner when Novak Djokovic is in a slam final and Stan Wawrinka is not on the other side of the net

 

[RokasLTU]

4-2
