2021 ATP Finals Turin RR: [1] Novak Djokovic vs [8] Casper Ruud

[Red Rick]

Djokovic has woken up. And Ruuds level in those first few games was hardly sustainable.

 

[Bubcay]

The sleeper has awakened?

 

[junior74]

Well you jinxed him by praising his serve

 

[Kralingen]

lol I’ve just seen the video from last night

Bizarrely I think Novak is stone cold sober in that and just is used to yelling in hotel rooms tbh

Three in a row there

Servebots, ruining tennis!

 

[Bubcay]

Nice serving by Ruud. Buys him some easy points..

Peer pressure is one helluva drug

 

[Hitman]

How many years are we in Turin?

 

[guga_fan]

Peer pressure is one helluva drug

Considering some of Djokovic on-court reactions, I don't think he needs any peer pressure to act like that.

 

[guga_fan]

Some pretty awful backhands from the player that used to have the best BTDL.

Yes, what was that?

 

[Bubcay]

Awesome defence by Djokovic... Break point..

 

[Hitman]

There are no words....

 

[junior74]

Decent tennis, I think...

 

[Bubcay]

Let's scream a bit, shall we....

 

[guga_fan]

Great passing shot from such a deep ball.

 

[Kralingen]

Unbelievable from both players both to force and save the set point.

Ruud has hit quite a few lines - strong stuff from him

 

[Pablo1989]

Massive hold!!!

 

[junior74]

What a hold that was!

Impressed

 

[Bubcay]

Ruud finding a first serve when it is needed the most... 5:5

 

[Hitman]

Quality tennis. Best of the best going at it.

 

[Arak]

Ruud won’t go far if he has to struggle every time to hold his serve.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Shouldn't celebrate his 6th title until it's in the bag.

Football.

I heard Serbia won something in football?

Beat Portugal in Lisbon to qualify for the World Cup.

 

[NAS]

Any indian is having problem with stupid voot app?

 

[Bubcay]

No points allowed... Great hold by Djokovic

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Casper is pissed reading he is a clay vulture on TTW everyday

 

[Kralingen]

Problem for Ruud is the service game imbalance right now. Djokovic has thrown in 3 that are basically 1 minute long, Ruud’s last game was 10 mins.

 

[NAS]

After taking my money they can't show match without error

 

[NAS]

Not going to watch now, have to restart my mobile three times for this stupid app

Just going to see scores on flashscore.
I have subscription for voot because of atp tour final, but today there is some problem in app, after 4 or five minute, it is asking to reboot the phone before playing

 

[Bubcay]

Nice hold by Ruud. TB it is..

Fair enough.

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic in a time honoured tradition creating drama where there shouldn't be any... So many silly mistakes..

He is actually struggling a little with the top spin Ruud is putting on the ball. Just making him mis-time his shots.

Needs a bit of fine tuning for sure..

 

[Jokervich]

djoko and first set djokovic

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

EYE TEST SAYS RUUD MUGGED IT UP, WHAT A DISGUSTING SET OF TENNIS!

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic gets the opening set 7:6...

 

[RF-18]

Just tuned in perfectly for that beauty winner. Go nole

 

[Hitman]

Incredible!!!!

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Ruud can't beat Djokovic who drank 9 beers last night.

 

[TheAssassin]

I'm getting a lot of judgmental looks here after celebrating that forehand laser lol...

 

[Pablo1989]

Magnificent set from Ruud. Still not enough to beat Nole...

 

[InsideOut900]

Ruud can't beat Djokovic who drank 9 beers last night.

Alcohol can be an enabler too

 

[Kralingen]

Ruud has to be wondering what more he has to do to win. Honestly think he played about as well as he could have hoped there, and I don't mean that condescendingly.

 

[RF-18]

Have they held their serves all the way to the TB?

 

[junior74]

Have they held their serves all the way to the TB?

1 break each

Good match!

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Serbia pounded @TheAssassin 's hero last night.

 

[Bubcay]

Have they held their serves all the way to the TB?

Nope. There were a few breaks..
