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

[Zardoz7/12]

What a return, completely wrong footed Matteo.

 

[Carax]

Alright, that was fun.

 

[bullfan]

It is 2-1 against Novak, time for opponent to fall apart...

 

[The Blond Blur]

Just started watching for the 1st time couple of weeks ago. Now I can get the references

 

[TennisFan3]

Match over. Saw this from a country mike. Expect 3 consecutive sets from Novak. And virtual bagel in the last set.

 

[NoleFam]

A great return to break.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Good old Berretini. Rotten mover

 

[The Green Mile]

Novak playing very quickly now

 

[El_Yotamo]

Yup, we remain on track so far

 

[Harry_Wild]

Djokovic finally got the break in the 2nd set! LOL!

 

[celito]

How in the world did he return that ?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Zverev's 3 fans on TTW

 

[Lleytonstation]

I got through the most of it, I am near S6 ending and it's been nice.
It took quite a bit into S2 to get going for me though.

Yeah but most shows are that way.

 

[Standaa]

Berrettini just needs to keep this even until at least 3-3 or 4-4 I'd say. Losing the 2nd set isn't the worst thing in the world here, but immediately giving Novak some momentum back with an early break in the first game or two would be disastrous because then it can unravel and go on too much of a roll. Make Novak work for it.

Please consolidate.

He answered your prayers this time

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Please consolidate.

Set is over, you can relax.

 

[bullfan]

When was the last time a 34 year old won 4 GSs....

From a country mike ?

 

[Curtennis]

Immediately after that hold to go 4-1 you could see Matteo remember who his daddy is. This match is over.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Jokervich]

That was a pretty incredible return game from Novak, some great shot making. 3-1, 2nd set

That final return he made to win the last point of that game was insane, don't think any other player could make such a return on a bomb of a serve out wide like that.

 

[Aabye5]

Edberg dropped 7, as did Fed at AO 17, while Kuerten dropped 8 at RG 97. Not sure for more

Gaudio also dropped 7.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice couple of games from DJ. I hope that can gave him a springboard but we will see.

 

[DjokoLand]

Even as a Djokovic fan the big problem with next gen against Djokovic is when they go up they get broken early in the next which takes any advantage they have.
Musetti and Tsitsipas at RG was the same

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Novak Pissedovic.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Djokovic up 4-1 in the 2nd set! Berrettini to serve!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Needs a quick set here.

 

[celito]

Suddenly Djoko ain't bouncing the ball much. Figures ...

 

[Third Serve]

[RF-18]

What on earth was that return to break. Inhuman.

Getting in contact with the Berrettini team as we speak. Need to get the message across that he's supposed to hold serve.

 

[Lleytonstation]

aged like milk

Expected this from BerreNETtinni. Will be 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 in under three hours.

 

[bullfan]

Has the win 1 fold started?

 

[gadge]

Novak lunges for the return but somehow Berrettini is the more off-balance player in that rally.

I read all your comments in Ron swansons voice and they all sound perfect

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Not showing up

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Has the win 1 fold started?

In fifth gear.

 

[Lleytonstation]

NGBS...

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Edberg dropped 7, as did Fed at AO 17, while Kuerten dropped 8 at RG 97. Not sure for more

Becker dropped 8 in his first title run.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko starting to read the Italians serve a bit better

 

[The Blond Blur]

For as much spin as Berry hits with, he sure puts a lot of rally FH’s in the middle of the net.

10+ schlems in any other era.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Not showing up

Damn it, it's a nice one. Gif so I can't upload it. :/

 

[ForehandCross]

Angry Djokovic >>Entire tour put together.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Not Spencer.

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak "He's hit a wall for the year" Djokovic cruising right along.

 

[Curtennis]

Hit the ball harder Berrettini! That’s the obvious problem! You’re not hitting hard enough. The net is just a distraction.

 

[tudwell]

Lol. Ten thousand years to set up for a forehand, buries it in the bottom of the net.

 

[TennisFan3]

Novak on FIRE. Breadstick time. Muggtini about to fall apart.
Set 3 and set 4 will be bagels.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Negative body language from Berrettini.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

The Italian getting absolutely clowned in this set.
