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

[junior74]

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

Sure!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Thank you very much.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Casper's such a cutie pie.

 

[JCF]

I think Ruud is on Nordic winter snooze mode ...

 

[Bubcay]

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.

Djokovic somehow manages to win important points even when he is not at his best. Just a testament as to how good he really is... His 70% is enough for most on the tour now.

 

[TheAssassin]

Serbia pounded @TheAssassin 's hero last night.

And Djokovic is pounding my boy now.

Not that I mind lol...

 

[Bubcay]

This is going south quickly for Ruud.. 2:0

Djokovic vulturing again.

 

[Third Serve]

There's usually at least one "bogey" player at the ATP Finals (that is, someone who's really just there to hand matches over to the favorites). Two years ago it was Berrettini, last year it was Rublev, and will it be Ruud this time around?

 

[RF-18]

Since when does Ruud serve this hard. 214 km/h?

He is actually playing OK. Definitely not 'Bogey'...

 

[Jokervich]

I've noticed that these young players have no fight to get back into the match if they lose a close set or go down 1 or 2 sets. They basically just give up. Very sad to see. You would never see Djokovic or Nadal be like this. They would fight so hard to get back into the match.

The mid-thirties ********** who drank 9 beers last night. The BOAT cumpetishun.

 

[The Fedfather]

Djokovic has more say on his serve and Ruud depends on his mistakes to capitalize. Hoping for some zoning from Casper but it's likely that Novak's level would need to drop for this to go the distance.

Wonder if drunkovic makes his way out there today.

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic's wide serve is such a weapon..

 

[RF-18]

Wow!

Drinking 9 beers the night before WTF is very cool!

Could probably beat them drunk, too.

 

[Bubcay]

50+ seconds

No respect for his opponent.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Since today. 1st serve average is 10 kph faster today than the average of his whole 2021 season.

This is one of the main traits of these mugs who lose to Djokovic in the locker room. They hit harder against him, so stupid. Roddick would never.

 

[The Fedfather]

Here we go again

 

[Bubcay]

This will be over soon... Nothing Ruud does is good enough now... 4:1

 

[Hitman]

Looks very likely citizens of Earth will sleep peacefully tonight as truth and justice reigns

 

[Aabye5]

Why is he not a bogey? Especially on this surface.

The Earth's Mightiest Warrior in full control of the match now, serving like Peak Pete Sampras out there.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Djokovic inflated yet another win.

 

[Bubcay]

Servebot Djokovic....

 

[junior74]

Looks very likely citizens of Earth will sleep peacefully tonight as truth and justice reigns

 

[JCF]

5-1 ... maybe Ruud can do a Hugo on this ?

 

[junior74]

Servebot Djokovic....

Novak & The Servebots are ruining tennis!!!

 

[Hitman]

The Earth's Mightiest Warrior in full control of the match now, serving like Peak Pete Sampras out there.

He's here for that record...

 

[Hitman]

It was never a joke...sleep well.

 

[TheAssassin]

Djoker and Mad Lad competing in one minute holds in Torino by the looks of things lol...

 

[Sysyphus]

Looks very likely citizens of Earth will sleep peacefully tonight as truth and justice reigns

novak djokovic, campaigner for truth and allergic to untruths

 

[Bubcay]

Why is he not a bogey? Especially on this surface.

He has been playing a decent tennis on HC (not only clay) this year... So, I would not go as far as calling him that...

 

[Hitman]

Air Ruud.

 

[junior74]

Let's see if Weak Era Champion can choke for once, despite those 9 pints

 

[The Fedfather]

Yeah, come on Ruud. Give us nothing

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic needs warming up. Did not even get into the grove yet

 

[Jokervich]

Does anyone know if Djokovic plays Sissy or Bweh first?

 

[Kralingen]

Novak is serving like prime Pete right now wtf

17-18 first serves only dropped 3 points on his serve all second set

 

[Hitman]

Does anyone know if Djokovic plays Sissy or Bweh first?

Whoever wins tonight.

 

[Bubcay]

Terrible second set by Ruud. Total collapse... 7:6 6:2

 

[RF-18]

Man of steel does it

 

[junior74]

Yeah, come on Ruud. Give us nothing

Hard to beat Djokovic when serving 95% 1st serves...

 

[Hitman]

Fun match.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Congrats to Novak on his 750th career match win at Masters 1000 level and above. One down, four to go.

Ajde!!!

 

[Aabye5]

It's hard to see this not being a blowout.

Like I said...
