2021 US Open Final - [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [2] Daniil Medvedev

[80s New Wave]

Medvedev holding like a walk in the park.

 

[MeatTornado]

What happened in the first game I missed it? Match been super weird so far. Seems like there's no intensity or tension.

Couldn't hit a 1st serve, threw in a DF too.

 

[mike danny]

Okay chief

So you think Zedovic was better than Fedovic?

Whatever you say, sheep.

 

[swordtennis]

Sick serve from Med.
Sick.

 

[Mivic]

Novak's movement has been off so far.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Remind me which one is going for the GS?

 

[The Fedfather]

Cheers for Novak, that is heartwarming. Medvedev will not be deterred on serve though.

 

[NatF]

Med surely can't keep up this level of serving.

 

[mwym]

Djokovic without rhythm for 30 min. Needs to calm down.

 

[Fedeonic]

Personal theory: Djokovic plays better when the crowd is against him, same for Daniil.
Today the crowd is in favour of Nole, so Medvedev is playing better today.

 

[Cantconvert2MP]

Serve boting all over the place.. yuck.

Well, Djoko is less good than Med on serve today, so we'll get some play

 

[kalyan4fedever]

djokovic is a always a weak server

 

[kishnabe]

Djokovic tanking first set.

 

[Cortana]

Novak really improved his smash.

 

[James P]

Fantastic serve by Novak.

 

[iopzzza]

Meddy, choke a bit , please...

 

[ForehandCross]

I still say he needs the break.

First you don't have to serve for it, second you make Djokovic doubt and give him lesser window to read your pattern.

 

[flyingboris]

Man, I can't get over how ugly Med's strokes are. It's hilarious! And yet somehow he's pretty darned effective with it.

 

[bhpower]

That early break gave Med big confidence to go for big secon serves.

 

[mike danny]

Med surely can't keep up this level of serving.

I'll be impressed if he keeps it up.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Edbergovic

 

[PrinceMoron]

Got lucky off the net

 

[The Guru]

Is Djokovic tired or something dude is moving like a grandpa.

 

[reef58]

So you think Zedovic was better than Fedovic?

Whatever you say, sheep.

I didn't say it Laver said it. He didn't say the match was better he said the level of play was the highest he has seen. Again I am sure you know more than Laver who watched the match courtside.

 

[mwym]

Sadly, nothing to stop Med yet.

 

[MeatTornado]

How is Medvedev only serving 61%? Feels like it's 91%.

 

[swordtennis]

Looks like the Serb is tighter than a drum.

 

[NatF]

Rather mid level off the ground so far. Serving has been strong as has Djokovic's net play. Unexpected lol.

 

[The Fedfather]

Djokovic becomes an all court player here. Next Gen, what have you done?

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic coughing up random errors

 

[James P]

Medvedev bailed out big time by the let there...

 

[flyingboris]

Expecting a SABN any game now.

Actually in a few years that could really look like an homage, just like Fed's "dunk smash" was an homage to Sampras.

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Excellent volleying thus far…

 

[Opendaroof]

So.... typical scenario. Novak loses first set? Okay, I get it. He only needs three sets more.

 

[NatF]

How is Medvedev only serving 61%? Feels like it's 91%.

It's because he's hitting two first serves every time.

 

[swordtennis]

Unreal get.
On another level.

 

[Krish0608]

Insane volleying from Novak. As good as I have ever seen from Novak

 

[MeatTornado]

That volley

 

[flyingboris]

There was Med's "not bad" face.

 

[Sysyphus]

net skills:

Rafa > Nole > Cow

 

[Madinolf]

Djokovic volleying like Edberg.
Medvedev serving like Karlovic.

 

[Fedeonic]

Medvedev to serve for the first set.

 

[Chanwan]

Djoko's GREAT at the net so far

 

[wang07]

Hold your damn serve

 

[James P]

Better return game, still not good enough.

Mad Lad serving for it 5-4 in the 1st.

 

[Tomxc]

 

[kalyan4fedever]

;next game should be painful for novak

 

[iopzzza]

Choke Meddy, choke...

 

[tudwell]

Moment of truth. Just gotta keep up the perfect serving for one more game, Med. And then for like 12 more games after that.

 

[TripleATeam]

Omg Dylan is fn amazing lol I wanna chill with him

It was dope meeting him!
