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

[The Blond Blur]

Isn't this Berrettini Open after all?

Funny how he was ripped apart in 2019, but now he’s being lumped in as part of the extremely hard draw

 

[Fedeonic]

First time since the start of the second set that Matteo holds without conceding break points along the way. Eight straight games.

 

[tudwell]

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.

Would be epic if he can make it four in a row!

 

[time_fly]

This set's still going to a tiebreak

#KeepTheFaith

Do they play a tiebreak when the set score gets to 6-1 now? I have trouble keeping up with the tournament changes.

 

[swordtennis]

Djokovic has never played a player with a backhand.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''I am not impressed.''

 

[fundrazer]

Although mad props to Berettini for winning another game.

Over 34.5 games is good boys.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Berrettini on the board in the 4th

 

[ForehandCross]

I still say Djokovic would have to go to war in both semis and finals.

But now I think he will win those wars.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Berrettini to break back now

Spoiler

 

[RG GOD]

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

Like in the olympics?

 

[El_Yotamo]

Omg he almost hit a ball boy
Just won't learn

 

[Omega_7000]

Moves like a gazelle

 

[MeatTornado]

79mph this time

Novak playing the game of Just How Low Can I Go?

 

[TennisFan3]

Like in the olympics?

Like the last time they met in slams viz AO 2o21.
Best of 3 is not equal to best of 5.

 

[The Green Mile]

He just never learns, that ball went right past the ballkid

 

[PilotPete]

Holy crap he hit the ball kid in anger, should be DQed

 

[fundrazer]

I don't understand though...Why does he not run around these 2nd serve returns. Every single one I've seen since I've started watching has gone to the backhand, and most of them are all mid 80s.

THAT ONE WAS 79!!! AND HE SENDS IT LONG!

 

[El_Yotamo]

79mph this time

Novak playing the game of Just How Low Can I Go?

Perhaps he'll break the Zverev record of 68 MPH

 

[Omega_7000]

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

Huh? Even with gen crap he wouldn't be winning squat other than a fluke Wimbledon.

 

[tudwell]

Dear lord, just serve. You’re not playing in a library.

 

[PilotPete]

The guy is 10 year younger than Djokovic and his legs are gone, how pathetic.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko roars! Love it when he’s angry haha

 

[MeatTornado]

Why is he tilted?

 

[El_Yotamo]

 

[Omega_7000]

See a lot of empty seats....people getting bored and leaving

 

[beltsman]

Berrettini is pathetic. This is career-defining. He will forever be a mug after this pathetic display.

 

[The Green Mile]

Why is he tilted?

Because some are drunk and rowdy

 

[ChrisRF]

The German commentator just said: "Djokovic is desperately searching for new opponents in the crowd if his tennis opponent cannot trouble him." And then he said that it's impossible to understand Djokovic. He's so much better than anyone else, so why doesn't he just finish the match?

 

[guga_fan]

Wow, this Berrettini slice just hit his court

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Why is he tilted?

 

[UnforcedTerror]

ROOOOOOOOOAROVIC.

 

[El_Yotamo]

What is the disgusting thing upset about now?! Will he eventually hit the ball kid??

 

[The Blond Blur]

D-did that slice hit the ground before bouncing into the net?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Love it when Djoko puts the crowd in its place!

 

[time_fly]

Berrettini actually hit his own service box instead of the net. It’s good to see he is making adjustments.

 

[PilotPete]

The Novak fans are so much more vociferous than Fed fans, luckily there's only 10 of them.

 

[Kralingen]

You really do have to be insane to be Novak Djokovic. Roaring like that up 3-1 lol

I have to respect it. He isn’t like any of the rest of us, and he isn’t like any of the rest of the tour.

 

[El_Yotamo]

D-did that slice hit the ground before bouncing into the net?

Twice

 

[beltsman]

Berrettini just sliced a ball into the court before his own service line...

 

[tudwell]

Wow, this Berrettini slice just hit his court

Didn’t even make his service box. Showing off his all-court abilities now.

 

[iopzzza]

USA crowd is the worst. I would escort all of the screaming idiots out of there.

 

[Omega_7000]

Yeah that's it....scream in Berrettini's face....Scream you're my btch at him

 

[nolefam_2024]

Novak Djokovic vs Berrettini in a nutshell. You ain't so bad.

 

[fundrazer]

HAHAHAHA. THAT ONE BOUNCED BEFORE IT HIT THE NET

Showing even more variety now boys! We've seen it all!

 

[SinneGOAT]

Djokovic is killing it, hoping this momentum carries him to the championship!

 

[swordtennis]

Poor Berretini he has been evicerated.
Rough matchup for him.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

The guy is 10 year younger than Djokovic and his legs are gone, how pathetic.

That's because Italian people get laid a lot.

 

[aman92]

Without a backhanf.. This guy literally has no chance against top players

 

[Poisoned Slice]

You really do have to be insane to be Novak Djokovic. Roaring like that up 3-1 lol

I have to respect it. He isn’t like any of the rest of us, and he isn’t like any of the rest of the tour.
