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

[UnforcedTerror]

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

Yeah what were you thinking lol

 

[ibbi]

Novak going old school? Tons of net play.

Flatter hitters give him trouble at the best of times. This is not the best of times, and he doesn't want to be getting into long rallies with him. Usually he goes to the dropper, today he's going for this probably because he's clearly nervous as hell and his droppers would probably all end up in the net.

 

[canta_Brian]

Is Medvedev slow balling Djok?

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic meditating, **** is about to go down.

 

[TennisFan3]

Poor ROS performance by Med so far. Novak is serving the 100 mph wide serves and winning those point easily.

 

[junior74]

LOL, Med now fist pumping Djoko's errors.

Hehe, well, the crowd is cheering for Med's...

 

[MeatTornado]

Plot twisted. Didn't see that one coming.

Proves how hard it is to win with support. Federer awarded 20 extra moral slams.

 

[James P]

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.

Novak might live to regret losing that set being up 0-40. What a choker.

 

[Third Serve]

Roddick has approached better

 

[PrinceMoron]

This crowd is going to be very annoying

 

[The Devil probably]

I'm starting to get concerned.

 

[Slicehand]

If novak keeps volleying im becoming a fan

 

[I Am Finnish]

I hope Djokovic is going to say support for Medvedev you b*tches

 

[guga_fan]

Very slow movement from Djokovic. But Medvedev also isn't very steady so far apart from the serve.

 

[NatF]

Djokovic looking slow there. FH was pacey but not placed near the sideline.

 

[The Fedfather]

Proves how hard it is to win with support. Federer awarded 20 extra moral slams.

Moral CYGS in there too

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

That's me.

 

[OhYes]

Novak is not in the match, he cannot yet read his serve.
If he calms himself and start reading, big if

 

[James P]

Excellent rally! Really good stuff from both.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Poundland Pete thinking he can keep landing those big second serves, smh

 

[SeeingDusk]

Medvedev winning the long rallies too.

So many celebs in the crowd

 

[Ace of Aces]

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

He’s knocking on the door of being world #1 while only winning on one surface. High level on HC is normal for Med

 

[Deleted member 762343]

What a point.

 

[Hera]

If the New York crowd wants to see Djoker win, they need start supporting his opponent. Don’t they know that???

 

[Poisoned Slice]

You're slipping, son. You need to hold more comfortably than this, son.

 

[ibbi]

So far, this reminds me of the Roland Garros final last year. Flatness.

 

[iopzzza]

Medvedev serve dropping, but Novak is subpar

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

This is like watching Sampras (Medvedev) vs Chang (Djokovic)

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Like I said, a battle of human backboards that will be decided by who blinks first.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Excellent rally! Really good stuff from both.

who are you rooting for?

 

[weakera]

The KING Henrik Lundqvist in attendance

 

[StifleYourself]

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

People want to see history. Up to this point, Novak losing would have been historic. Now him winning would be. They also don't like Medvedev very much. Also, the crowd at the Semis and the Finals is very different than the crowd in the first week.

 

[Service Ace]

Choking Med gonna choke

 

[The Devil probably]

Brad Pitt rooting for Djokovic.

 

[NatF]

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.

It's his default game. He's used the net a fair bit already and I expect he'll do it more as the match goes on if he keeps getting the short end of the stick.

 

[Tennisgods]

That's me.

Well hello there…

 

[MeatTornado]

Some better returns from Novak at least as this match has gone on.

 

[bhpower]

Deuce, Djoker engaging in more rallies with the return

 

[gn]

Meddy has such a long reach.

 

[sredna42]

Djoko to win next 3 as he's dialing in to meds serve now, while at the same time the next genner will get tighter as the match progresses as usual.

 

[SinneGOAT]

I like what the commentator said. Djokovic needs to wake up and start the fire to get into the right state of mind.

 

[James P]

who are you rooting for?

My avatar isn't obvious enough

 

[Cortana]

Come on, break now!

 

[The Devil probably]

Break him pls

 

[Krish0608]

Med’s level clearly dipping now as expected.

 

[PrinceMoron]

That's me.

Should move over and join Brad Pitt

 

[xFedal]

Yh I think Med is the favourite at this point 60/40%

 

[sredna42]

And right on cue a bp

 

[James P]

Time to servebot, Danny Boy

 

[MeatTornado]

If Novak breaks here and roars it's over.
