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

[NatF]

Med been cutting off the angle on those cross court fh exchanges nicely with those big flat FHDTL's.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Djokovic should take a page out of Medvedev’s book and stand further back. He’s getting killed on the first serve.

 

[Slicehand]

My prediction right now - it's all over. This is getting painful to watch. Thinking I'll switch over to something on Netflix.

Come on with djokovic its never over till the last point and you know that, when tistsipas was two up at the french i had this feeling that it was far from over, i admit med is not like him but djoko is djoko, when med is a break up in the third itll be something else, but even then i wont think is over

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak's getting Novak'd right now.

 

[iopzzza]

its over.. we wont see the calendar slam..

 

[bhpower]

Djoker is being destroyed

 

[James P]

Intelligent service game by Meddyboy. One more game for a 2-0 lead.

 

[Kralingen]

Med looks unreal

 

[RaulRamirez]

Believe me: Novak is way off his usual standards, but Med is playing quite well.

 

[RF6777]

Wow...

 

[ForehandCross]

Lol the one time NY crowd gets to see someone thumping Djokovic they want none of it.

 

[tudwell]

Med goating now!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

No complaints from me. Mad lad just much the better player. Fair play to the Russian

 

[Picmun]

 

[Martin J]

Med really isn't doing anything special outside the serve. His ground game is always Blah

Seriously? The guy is rocking out there, defending like a demon and also going for his shots when there is an opportunity. Great performance from him in every aspect.

 

[Chanwan]

What a game by Mad Lad!

 

[The Devil probably]

Sheet

 

[N01E]

Still no legs

 

[abmk]

nice rally that. Med holds at love.

 

[gn]

Medvedev looks very tough. No way Djokovic is getting himself out of Stalingrad if Med keeps playing like this.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Med looks unreal

He's trying to save tennis

 

[Matheson]

Crazy to think Djokovic is going to win this in a 5 setter, coming from 2 sets down.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[TennisFan3]

Intelligent service game by Meddyboy. One more game for a 2-0 lead.

That will be HARDEST game of all time. You can be 100% sure Novak will come charging.

 

[Kralingen]

Med been cutting off the angle on those cross court fh exchanges nicely with those big flat FHDTL's.

Very underrated shot tbh, I don’t think any of the tour is getting to that with the power he has

 

[I Am Finnish]

The crowd is disgusting

 

[GhostDog]

Stunned right now. Med might actually pull this is off. He's totally dominating.

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Medvedev channeling his inner Pete Sampras today on serve

 

[Fed881981]

This is the weakest Djokovic that I’ve seen in slams in a long time.

Not saying that will lose, but he’s not really into it.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Medvedev now inspired and playing freely. Sweet to see.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Two main reasons Medvedev plays well tonight:
1. Great serving.
2. Zverev.

 

[The Fedfather]

Medvedev started playing more freely at the start of this set but needs to press on the killer instinct in Djokovic's service games.

 

[ForehandCross]

Possum act loaded 100%

 

[Cantconvert2MP]

cant serve
cant backhand
cant move

Djoko, atleast lose with some plays.. Medv isnt doing anything.

 

[Opendaroof]

Don't see Djokovic winning after losing the first 2 sets.

But I saw it in RG.

 

[Bud]

This is the weakest Djokovic that I’ve seen in slams in a long time.

Not saying that will lose, but he’s not really into it.

Reminds me of the pepe years

 

[Poisoned Slice]

That's more like it.

 

[onyxrose81]

That laugh of a draw really did help Med and he didn’t need any help.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Djokovic is gonna lose this set now, obviously.

 

[abmk]

med could come in a little bit on the return. really.

 

[disgruntledamsel]

Well, this is distressing...

 

[Zain786]

Med to win in straights. End of big three era. Next gen begins now.

 

[Uncoil]

Need more drop shots from Novak

 

[Fedeonic]

For those who are stat freaks, here's how Medvedev fares when winning the first set at the US Open: 18-0

 

[iopzzza]

Novak is tired.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

 

[Service Ace]

Tsistipas has proven that a two set lead means nothing when you're a part of the next gen. And that's if Med doesn't still find a way to choke this set away.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Pull a Tsitsipas dammit

 

[Bud]

Novak is tired.

Definitely Finnish

 

[SinneGOAT]

med could come in a little bit on the return. really.

Why? It’s working fantastically, he’s getting most returns back. Probably was aced twice in all of the first set.
