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

[PrinceMoron]

Grunts appearing now

 

[The Green Mile]

The serve clock was paused there lol, why?

 

[weakera]

Novak is not the player he was in the AO final either with these netted neutral balls.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Medvedev is playing better right now it seems. Novak must recoup.

 

[iopzzza]

If Novak doesnt holw here, its over

 

[mike danny]

LOL, Med now fist pumping Djoko's errors.

 

[NatF]

Solution for beating Djoko is already written by Stan. Just swing it hard and hit through.

Wawrinka hits a much heavier ball than Medvedev, not the same match-up at all.

 

[Ace of Aces]

Novak may have to keep moving forward to punish Meds court position. He can’t hit through him right now

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Two theories, either they're supporting the aging champion or people are rooting against the Russian, remember, this is America and people still think they're on the Cold War, including myself.

They just want to witness a CYGS.

 

[mwym]

Crowd had no say. He is mindfvcking himself.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Djokovic needs to scream to his box or 15 mins toilet break

 

[The Devil probably]

Djokovic's support is incredible today.

 

[weakera]

Jelena looks skinnier than ever.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Novak going old school? Tons of net play.

 

[The Green Mile]

Novak really is playing like someone low on energy, needs a second wind pronto.

 

[gadge]

I’ve never seen a more pro Novak crowd than this

 

[llodra_fan]

"Daniil saw the opening and just unloaded."

PMac is so dirty.

Many english phrases that are used in day to day, actually all originated from lewd slangs. A prominent one, for example, is "bang for your bucks".

 

[James P]

Back to back clutch holds for both players. Starting to see both get into each other's service games maybe.

 

[weakera]

Novak really is playing like someone low on energy, needs a second wind pronto.

That's what toilet breaks are for.

 

[Cortana]

I’ve never seen a more pro Novak crowd than this

Is this Serbia?

 

[PrinceMoron]

Lot of work on the fh from Medvedev
Might be easier to go flat when rushed to pass

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

The serve clock was paused there lol, why?

A call had been made

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Medvedev is so far behind the baseline, I'm surprised that he's still coming ahead in the rallies.

Heard he's on @Federer and Del Potro's couch, if you have any question for him.

 

[TripleATeam]

I’ve never seen a more pro Novak crowd than this

All my doing.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Saved it!

 

[ark_28]

Massive hold there for Novak

 

[Opendaroof]

Wawrinka hits a much heavier ball than Medvedev, not the same match-up at all.

Of course not. That's why I miss that match up.

 

[Bud]

Novak looking underweight again

 

[I Am Finnish]

Djokovic might lose cuz of the crowd support he gets

 

[gn]

Unfortunately, he is being overwhelmed by love today.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Who’s the girl with curly hair sitting in Novak’s box?

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak is not the player he was in the AO final either with these netted neutral balls.

He plays better with ab tears.

 

[Ginger ninja]

Djokovic looks low energy and doesn’t look to be moving well. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s carrying an injury that, in normal times, he’d have pulled out with.

 

[GabeT]

Novak is not the player he was in the AO final either with these netted neutral balls.

Seems very tentative or nervous. But also seems to be (slowly) getting more comfortable.

that’s why I still find the results of the AO19 final so strange.

 

[N01E]

I’ve never seen a more pro Novak crowd than this

RG16, AO21

 

[James P]

Djokovic might lose cuz of the crowd support he gets

Plot twisted. Didn't see that one coming.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Notice both players are rallying timidly most of the time. Not aggressively at all.
Then gradually someone decides to step it up a little.
But most of the rally we guys/gals could handle those shots!

 

[Jokervich]

Medvedev playing better than expected. I thought Zverev match would be toughest.

 

[Bud]

Who’s the girl with curly hair sitting in Novak’s box?

Shirley Temple

 

[The Fedfather]

The kind of play you HAVE to take advantage of playing Djokovic. You don't and then it's just a lot of ifs post match.

 

[PrinceMoron]

The crowd wants to witness history.

Djokovic is history if he doesn’t wake up soon

 

[Kralingen]

Anyone else a lot more impressed by Medvedev’s level than you thought?

 

[SonicNirvana]

novak looks good

 

[The Devil probably]

Djokovic is clearly nervous.

 

[abmk]

Djoko holds saving BP. Med could use some improvement with his returning still I think.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Djokovic's support is incredible today.

That's his weakness

 

[TennisFan3]

Med might live to regret the opportunities in that service game by Novak. Med made UFEs and wasn't able to pass Novak at the net.
Even though Novak served like HOT GARBAGE in that service game, he wasn't broken.

 

[The Fedfather]

Medvedev playing better than expected. I thought Zverev match would be toughest.

Djokovic so far is playing much worse here than in the semi

 

[mightyrick]

Wawrinka hits a much heavier ball than Medvedev, not the same match-up at all.

Agree, totally different. Medvedev is a 6-foot-6 Gilles Simon with a 128-130mph serve and better movement.

I'm not sure why Djokovic is trying to out-rally Medvedev. That is a totally wrong approach. Very poor strategy.

 

[Jack the Hack]

Jelena looks skinnier than ever.

Well, Novak only lets her eat gluten free toast with wild honey and water that he has purified with his positive mental powers.
