2021 A Great Year for ABZ

In all seriousness this is a pretty egregious choke from Zed. He was the better player in sets 1 and 2 aside from choking. Felix played an awesome game to close it out though.

Zero GS finals in 2021. Among Next Gen stays behind Medvedev, Tsitsipas, and Berrettini.

AO 2022 is his last chance to avoid being slamless 25yo.
 
In the end it truly did end up being a great year for ABZ. I doubt next year we'll be so lucky, as someone has to win these Slams and Djokovic won't cover alone without Fed and Dull.

But we can hope.

There's always hope. Medvedev still has a better chance on hardcourts and Tsitsipas on clay. It's the grasscourt that will be most problematic.
 
Wow, duaneeo, were you drunk or just joking? If true, welcome to the club, glad to have you!

I believed Zverev was a new player since the Olympics, and with his dominant performances to the semis, I really thought he was finally mentally ready to beat Djokovic at a slam. Wrong.

I've abandoned that loser ship. I've been proclaiming "Slam titles are inevitable for Zverev" since 2017. All there is to show all these years later is one massively choked slam final. My fandom deserves better.

It's still fandom to join this club though. It's like all the Mayweather haters who'd tune in to watch EVERY ONE OF HIS FIGHTS - that's what it's like to be a dedicated ABZ disciple. OK but let's be real, I barely watch Zverev. ;)

He's actually a boring heel.

Thanks for the explanation and honesty. You were by far his most vociferous and earliest fan here. I just hope you don’t don’t jump the ABZ ship if this tool ever wins a slam. Once an ABZ member, always one, and with smug and gleeful pride. In any case, glad you’re on board.
