2021 ATP Finals Torino SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs [3] Alexander Zverev

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Costly errors from Nole

 

[guga_fan]

Djokovic still hasn't understood that his dropshots on this court are not very effective.

 

[InsideOut900]

This is such a huge throw from Novak.

 

[Kralingen]

This was a pretty high level the first two sets, lol.

the 3rd…

 

[onyxrose81]

That was Novak’s last chance.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Zverev playing second fiddle on a crucial point just defending passively asking Djokovic to please miss (and he does, the vagaries of age).

 

[liriel]

Novak wasted too many crucial points boo

 

[Hitman]

Respect to Zverev, Novak threw everything at him.

 

[junior74]

Surprising to see Novak not capitalising on that chance...

Zod off the hook - for now

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Lol.

 

[Third Serve]

This was a pretty high level the first two sets, lol.

the 3rd…

 

[liriel]

I hated that rally because it was "do a mistake". Zverev not god more..

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

From Wimbledon-onward this year, Nole's level has been really suspect. Its a clear decline. . He may not have as much left in the tank as we think. If you had more good players around Nole would be in big time trouble

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Can you like stop wearing all that Gold.

 

[Bubcay]

What a hold by Zverev. Djokovic won't have a better chance than this...

 

[Cortana]

We have to realize that Novak isn't able to beat those guys in Bo3 format anymore.

 

[The Fedfather]

Every point is vital

just feel a slip and this match could go in any direction

It is like that. Zverev holding up. Shakily but holding up

 

[UnforcedTerror]

HOW CAN THESE TALL GUYS MOVE AND DEFEND LIKE THIS LMAO

Med and Zed are really something else..

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko might have missed his chance there. Great hold by Zverev though.

 

[Hitman]

Zverev is unplayable.

Better player today. Fantastic defense when needed.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zverev serve services was shaken but Djokovic could not capitalize, 5-2!

 

[mr tonyz]

How many Zrot rally balls peppered Djoker's baseline in that game? 3 in 1 point & another down break point?

 

[PrinceMoron]

Goran getting the sack in the morning
40% second serve winning percentage

 

[InsideOut900]

Djoko might have missed his chance there. Great hold by Zverev though.

More like pathetic from Novak. Zverev just wanted to hand him the break.
Such a nuissance.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Medvedev has solved winning tournaments:
-be world #2
-let Djokovic play Zverev in the semis
-profit

 

[The Fedfather]

Oh my. Djokovic samprassing his way here

 

[junior74]

Ooooohh, sweet half volley! Sureshovic!

 

[TripleATeam]

Very winnable but Djokovic lost another crucial game.

 

[EllieK]

Ok, I didn't expect people to take this (apparently bad) joke seriously, sorry for misleading you.

Not good at subtlety or sarcasm in written form apparently.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Too little too late

 

[liriel]

Amazing shot. I think if the format was different Novak would have won this.

 

[The Fedfather]

Medvedev has solved winning tournaments:
-be world #2
-let Djokovic play Zverev in the semis

Work smarter, not harder

 

[NatF]

Expecting at least two missed sitters this game from Z.

 

[PrinceMoron]

All the f@cking idiots come out of the woodwork

 

[Harry_Wild]

Zverev sering for the match, 5-3!

 

[Hitman]

What a pick up from Novak.

 

[EllieK]

He’s got to serve it out yet.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Surely he isn't going to serve out a big match at love..

Edit: Surprisingly a nerveless finish, lol

 

[James P]

Well well

Match point

 

[bjsnider]

I mean, Djokovic just keeps steamrolling the competition in this weak era.

 

[Krish872007]

Surprisingly nerveless from Zverev - 3 MPs.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Gold

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

More like pathetic from Novak. Zverev just wanted to hand him the break.
Such a nuissance.

Zverev been the better player slightly today. Overall good match though and happy for Zverev if he wins.

[The Fedfather]

He does it In STYLE.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

fast conditions suiting Z's game. And people were asking "How would Djoker fair against Pete indoors?" I think we know the answer to that. LOL

 

[NatF]

Feels dirty rooting for Zverev but glad Fed stays ahead on 6 for at least another year.

 

[liriel]

For me I'm not sure how deserving this abuser was.

 

[I Am Finnish]

The better player won

 

[PilotPete]

Federer forever the WTF king !
