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

[jga111]

Why is he tilted?

Because he lost a point…

 

[MeatTornado]

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

Zverev vibes

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Nole lucky that intentional angry shot did not hit anyone. He could have lost CYGS like last year.

 

[beard]

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

In 2019 he was quite an surprise (although in good form from Wimbledon), and this year he's among best in form players... If you have Wimbledon finalist in USO QF, at such fast court, how QF draw can possibly be harder?

 

[Ace of Aces]

Good news for Berry is he has improved enough this year where he’s made it all the way to Djokovic 3 times in a row. The bad news is Djokovic is Djokovic

 

[Omega_7000]

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

Don't think matchup has anything to do with having a rec level backhand that can only slice midcourt balls...embarrasingly bad for a player ranked #6 in the world

 

[Kralingen]

'' I had a dream last night. Matteo was flying. ''

Somehow I think Gennaro is behind these suspicious 3-1 matches all following the same pattern

 

[Omega_7000]

Good news for Berry is he has improved enough this year where he’s made it all the way to Djokovic 3 times in a row. The bad news is Djokovic is Djokovic

If Berrettini wins a major in the future with that backhand, I'm fracking going to stop watching tennis

 

[TennisFan3]

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

You have been seeing this for 2 years now. Why are you surprised?

 

[beltsman]

Stadium is near empty. Popular champ lol

 

[NoleFam]

HAHAHAHA. THAT ONE BOUNCED BEFORE IT HIT THE NET

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

Barty actually did it the other night too and she usually has a great slice.

I’m basically saying RAFA pretty much had the same draw in 2019 and it was memed to death, but when Joker gets basically the same draw a bunch of ********* have tried to pump it up. It really doesn’t matter if Berry made the Wimby F considering he’s struggled a lot this tournament.

 

[time_fly]

Berrettini would have more luck with hockey. He can slap it into the net from anywhere.

 

[tudwell]

Zverev vibes

Someone should make a GIF of four different Zverev double faults like that one of Rafa being aced at Wimbledon.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Somehow I think Gennaro is behind these suspicious 3-1 matches all following the same pattern

His fingerprints are all over it. I can smell the betrayal from here.

 

[fundrazer]

Where was I...there's a return into the net.

I think that's 8?

 

[ChrisRF]

Nole lucky that intentional angry shot did not hit anyone. He could have lost CYGS like last year.

The commentator said the same. However, MAYBE he would have been excused by hitting immediately after the "out"-call of Berrettinis shot. So he could get the benefit of doubt that it was still an intended rallye shot. It clearly wasn't, but maybe this excuse could have been valid for the umpire.

It's 12:30 am. People have to work tomorrow. Lol

 

[Lleytonstation]

Okay I have watched enough balls go into the net tonight. Love you ngbs... You never cease to let me down. Consistent as ever.

 

[Checkmate]

2015 USO Cilic match vibes in this one.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

You have been seeing this for 2 years now. Why are you surprised?

You are right that Novak is an incredible athlete at 34. He gets stronger as matches get longer. It’s so impressive

 

[fundrazer]

Hey look another 80mph 2nd serve that Berrettini takes as a backhand.

 

[beltsman]

Barty actually did it the other night too and she usually has a great slice.

Good point, Berrettini does have a great slice

LOL

What is ngbs

 

[MeatTornado]

That ball toss

 

[Wesling]

108 mph ace , is this WTA?

 

[Omega_7000]

It's 12:30 am. People have to work tomorrow. Lol

Pretty sure people would have stuck around if it was Fedal

 

[Checkmate]

What is ngbs

net gored by Berry's strokes

 

[beltsman]

108 mph ace , is this WTA?

Might as well be

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

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

It is our mentality as Novak fans.

 

[Lleytonstation]

What is ngbs

Next gen bum SHUFFLER.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It is our mentality as Novak fans.

It’s the wolf energy

 

[Kralingen]

Whoa Berrettini actually just hit an impressive BHDTL. Not making this up. Maybe it’s a hallucination though

 

[Deleted member 762343]

NO EXCUSES!

 

[El_Yotamo]

Lol, I said it'd be 6-3

 

[time_fly]

Novak tanked that game. Guess he wants to serve it out.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Pam Shriver getting ready to interview Nole on the court. Will ask him if he hit that angry ball intentionally and how would he feel if he got DQed

 

[NoleFam]

Pretty sure people would have stuck around if it was Fedal

Not if they like their jobs. This is not uncommon at the USO night sessions. It was the biggest crowd of the tournament at the start of the match.

 

[James P]

Nobody double breaks Matteo three times in a row. Nobody.

I’m basically saying RAFA pretty much had the same draw in 2019 and it was memes to death, but when Joker gets basically the same draw a bunch of ********* have tried to pump it up. It really doesn’t matter if Berry made the Wimby F considering he’s struggled a lot this tournament.

You should look why waits Novak after Ber... Don't be so hatred man... Novak has worst possible draw he could get...

 

[tudwell]

He held.

Prolonged the torture for a whole minute.

 

[onyxrose81]

Please no funny business, Novak. I want to sleep.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko serving it out.

 

[Checkmate]

Berretteni practices with pickleball nets.

 

[The Blond Blur]

What is ngbs

Next.Gen.Bull.S***.

 

[swordtennis]

Whatever.
He won queens and made the wimbledon final.
Dangerous opponent.
Solid top 10.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

MPs earths mightiest warrior

 

[time_fly]

Fitting end, routine return into the net.

 

[MeatTornado]

One last brick on a 2nd serve to close it out.

 

[fundrazer]

Another 2nd serve to backhand, 85mph.

It's not just about not having a backhand, it's about not making a ****ing easy adjustment. It's like he has no tennis IQ other than serve and forehand.
