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

[NoleFam]

He's saving it for the 3rd set.

Just needs to hold his serve here. Double break chance missed.

[celito]

Novak is no Becker.

 

[beltsman]

Pathetic level from both

 

[El_Yotamo]

Too bad Berrettini can't return to save a life

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Berrettini return game like

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Berrettini on FIRE. Held from 0-40. MUGOVIC couldn't convert. PATHETIC.

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Every time he gets beat down the tee. Move over dude.

 

[time_fly]

Berrettini does know there’s a net there, correct?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

5-2 Novak. Longer rallies is what Novak wants again here.

 

[MeatTornado]

Game was basically over once he hit that awful lob. He was there in a plenty of time, probably would've been better off ripping a FH either DTL or right at Novak.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Mc, Mc and Fowler... SHUT UP!

 

[NoleFam]

What? You think BerreNETtinni will break back?

Djokovic is still up and down, evidenced by that last game. I feel like he will play better if he can close this set out.

 

[PilotPete]

This is why these guys will never win. The guy misses easy serve return after turn. Just plops them in the net. Why not play like Rafa and just get them back into play?

 

[El_Yotamo]

Can't help but think a decent player would be up a break in this set not down. Then again there are no more of those

 

[pj80]

Roger AO 17 gotta be up there

Djoker RG 21 too...6 lost

Who exactly is a decent player? Thiem or Nadal or Wawrinka are not playing.
Had it been Med or Zed they would not even have won a set. At least Berra did that and gave some entertainment.

I'm loving all the people who are overrating Zverev. Novak will thrash him silly in the SF.

 

[Halba]

beretini gone.

You should've read the second sentence...

 

[Kralingen]

Djokovic might just be a really slow starter at this point in his career, tbh.

 

[Lleytonstation]

BerreNETtinni might like the net more than Cilic.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Nole playing from behind the stands

 

[ForehandCross]

Berretini hitting harder but not smarter. Novak loves pace.

 

[TennisFan3]

5-2 Novak. Longer rallies is what Novak wants again here.

He's amazingly fit Novak. He should be an example for all players. Maybe be can become a coach once he retires. OMG he will train the next ATG.

 

[Fed881981]

Djokovic converted only 1/8 BPs. Poor.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

beretini gone.

We will never forget you, Mitchell Berrettini.

Or was it Michael?

Or Myles?

Oh well.

We will never forget you.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

SP Novak. Nice how he set that winner up.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Djokovic is still up and down, evidenced by that last game. I feel like he will play better if he can close this set out.

Berrey is a ngbs... Did you forget that. Plus here is your double break.

 

[El_Yotamo]

So it looks like the typical Djoko-Berrettini match so far. Tight first set going the way of the Italian, expect a beatdown in the second followed by a close third won by Djoker and something in between sets 2 and 3 for the fourth

Ahem ahem
Still on track

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That’s big for novak. Now he will serve first to start the 3rd set.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko takes the set. We all square.

 

[Fed881981]

Djokovic converted only 1/8 BPs. Poor.

Now 2/9.

 

[junior74]

BerreNETtinni might like the net more than Cilic.

A man is in love with the net

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Gone Baby Gone

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

The Italian completely outclassed in Set 2.

 

[InsideOut900]

Novak's punched FH is still such a nice shot to watch.

 

[RF-18]

1-1

Nole is back. He is crushing his soul.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He's amazingly fit Novak. He should be an example for all players. Maybe be can become a coach once he retires. OMG he will train the next ATG.

Definitely right about his physical condition it’s very impressive.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Djokovic takes the 2nd 6-2! 1-1 now!

 

[uscwang]

Ok, no surprise here. But Novak is not very sharp to be honest.

 

[TennisFan3]

Thrashed from Novak. Broke Berra twice.
The Italian shoulders are slumped. This should be it. His spirit and legs are broken now.

What can Zed and Med do different? They must be watching and feeling scared.

 

[MeatTornado]

TFW Sakkari is a better servebot than you

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

1-1

Nole is back. He is crushing his soul.

I accept all payment methods. I showed up after the first set loss - can check the receipts. @I Am Finnish didn't even summon me this time.

 

[guga_fan]

Berrettini kinda gave up on the set after the first break.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

What a surprise.

 

[Kralingen]

BerreNETtinni might like the net more than Cilic.

At least he hasn’t started crying yet but the clock is still ticking on this one.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

1-1

Nole is back. He is crushing his soul.

Let’s hope he keeps it up but he’s found his groove better now. Like we said the more he warms and gets his teeth into matches the stronger he gets.

 

[Uncoil]

It's over.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

It's like watching a 6ft5 balloon deflating in front of our eyes.

 

[JadeC]

Good set from Novak. 1-all.
