2021 US Open QF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs [6] Matteo Berrettini

[fundrazer]

Poorly executed approach shot...

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I mean it's not really a surprise. He was begging to get broken in the first set too.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Savage tennis from Novak since set 2

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Goodnight and Goodbye to the Italian.

Can't help feeling that Bonucci would be doing better.

 

[PilotPete]

Is this guy a total joke? Don't these guys have any balls?

 

[Deleted member 762343]

BerreNETtinni when he sees a ball hit the net...

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Can't help feeling that Bonucci would be doing better.

The Italian Men's soccer team has sacrificed every other Italian athlete to keep their insane winning streak alive.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Mans thinks he's playing basketball

Jamie Benn could take some lessons from him.

 

[MeatTornado]

Lost the point but still some superb volleying by Novak there the first 2 shots.

 

[Fedeonic]

Watching this game, it reminds me why I think that Novak is a psycho, though it's in Spanish, I'll try to find the English version:

[Magneto89]

After playing him at the last two majors, it just feels like Novak has Berrettini figured out

 

[bullfan]

i didn’t need to watch to know how this would end. Men’s tennis is a sad embarrassment. A 33-34 year barely needs to play to win a year GS...

 

[ForehandCross]

I know Djokovic is Goating, but Matteo is folding worse than RG and WB

 

[tudwell]

Berrettini showing his variety there. Hit that one long.

[fundrazer]

How the ****do you keep getting burned by 80mph 2nd serves.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Are there raspberry awards except for tennis shots? I'd like to submit a nomination

 

[TennisFan3]

This level right here from Novak, no one can compete with that. Not even Fed and not even Nadal.

I am 100 percent sure that if Wimbledon were held in 2020 and Novak did not get DQ in UsOpen, he would be at 22 slams now and 23 on Sunday.

Novak is a beast. Seriously, I cannot imagine anyone ever beating him in best of 5. The biggest test was Nadal at RG. Novak even scaled that.

This is no hyperbole but Novak seriously is the GOAT. He is totally unbelievable and I haven't seen such a resilient tennis player in 32 years of watching the game. He is always the man in best of 5.

I like it. Improving the ue variety is imperative to be a top ngbs.

That's the motto of NextGen

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Berrettini fading a bit but novak has been vintage since set 2.

huh? Fed had him beat in 2019, Djokovic didn't win that, Fed lost it due to mental weakness.

 

[tudwell]

He’s got a worse backhand return than 2008 Wimbledon Federer.

 

[ForehandCross]

Berrettini showing his variety there. Hit that one long.

I laughed way way harder than I should have.

 

[Uncoil]

It was over after the first game of the second set.

 

[BayAreaBooster]

Novak is such a good host- he is going to give Berettini a warm and toasty bagel!

Look there's a limit to how much I can defend you, you're making it really hard on me today ...

 

[time_fly]

The most impressive part of this match is the way Novak handles 135 mph serves like they are feeds. The least impressive part is Berrettini.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Berrettini showing his variety there. Hit that one long.

We also need to give him credit for losing to Djokovic on a variety of surfaces. Impressive CV. French Open Wimbledon and USO loss. We will eagerly await Djokovic Berrettini at 2022 AO.

 

[fundrazer]

Forehand into the net

6

 

[swordtennis]

Berretini is not folding he is just getting his forehand bombs and 130 serves ripped back.
Take the soul.
Ask Fed.

 

[Open Stance]

Novak is giving Berrettini a GOAT tennis lesson right now.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Berry hitting UFE’s into the net like:

 

[Pandaman]

Well, AO and FO showed it means nothing. It will mean nothing here as well. And Zverev will be an obstacle, but the final will be much easier than some people think. The only factor will be the pressure.

Yes but if you look under the surface, he didn't play as many baselining grinders leading up to the matchups with the top seeds, he got an easy SF in AO, and the fatigue got to him in the 2nd set at FO.

 

[beard]

But he’s still part of the thoughtest draw of all time.

Isn't this Berrettini Open after all?

But according to Rafa fans he already did the surface slam so don't need AO

Another forehand into the net

This set's still going to a tiebreak

He is playing against a player with no backhand.
We will see in the SF against Zverev.

 

[Service Ace]

I've never seen a higher level of tennis then what Berrettini is bringing against Earth's Mightiest Warrior! Tennis' future is secure in the hands of these young titans in Berrettini, Zverev and Medvedev!!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic may not be human.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

 

[Checkmate]

Can they lower the net height when the ball is on Berrettini's side?

 

[James P]

Berrettini would have won three majors this year if it wasn't for a pesky Serbian fellow.

 

[Kralingen]

Berrettini showing his variety there. Hit that one long.

This should be pinned to every Berrettini match thread

 

[TennisFan3]

He is playing against a player with no backhand.
We will see in the SF against Zverev.

Yes. We will definitely see. Can't wait for Novak to thrash Zverev.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Impressed with the bagel dodge
