2021 US Open SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [4] Alexander Zverev

[Poisoned Slice]

18/20 at net. Top spin 4 south american numbers.

 

[mike danny]

Zverev about to find out that his win at the Olympics means diddly squat.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Clutch from earths mightiest but Goldie chainz is playing at a better level again now.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Honestly I'm surprised Zverev keeps getting these chances. Clearly shows that Djokovic is nowhere near his top level, as he hasn't been all year

 

[fundrazer]

If he dumps this service game I might rage a little inside. Then I'll go get a sandwich.

 

[Cortana]

Djokovic mental game is the strongest of all time.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

More break points blown

That was all Novak get out of here.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

The amount of game points these kids lose is astounding

They just can't handle the pressure around this match.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic got lucky in that game. Sloppy play and lost of focus almost got him broken. Good serving to get out of it though.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Novak was moving in so he would've lost the point. If he rolled the return back in Novak would have an easy volley putaway.

I'd make him hit the easy volley though after some of the misses he was spraying in that game. Make him hit the easy volley and hope he FAA's it. Only has to one time for the break.

 

[MeatTornado]

I wonder what Todd Martin thinks when watching matches like thi.

 

[RaulRamirez]

I am not a Djoker fan at all- and after what I've read of Zverev and his GF; less of a fan of him. So I don't care who wins.

Thanks for swinging by - inspirational.

 

[SonicNirvana]

he’s got Fed level saving serve now. alllll over

 

[Service Ace]

Zverev is about to get broken. Mentally weak. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Lleytonstation]

That was zverev last chance.

 

[Fed881981]

Not a good set of tennis so far.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

The amount of game points these kids lose is astounding

You have no clue what you talking about.

 

[TennisFan3]

Clutch from earths mightiest but Goldie chainz is playing at a better level again now.

Goldie CHAINZ missed 4 breakpoints this set.
The first one Novak gets he will convert.
That is the difference. Told you, Zed was always a MENTAL MIDGET.

 

[MeatTornado]

I'd make him hit the easy volley though after some of the misses he was spraying in that game. Make him hit the easy volley and hope he FAA's it. Only has to one time for the break.

I actually agree with you, and Zverev probably didn't know Novak was moving in when he struck that ball.

Just saying he literally would have lost that particular point if he did what you said.

 

[ChrisRF]

Zverev's return pace more feeble than Federer chip returns

Yeah, I think this is another point where Federer's stubbornness often killed him and was another part in deciding the GOAT race. He refused to take the superior return position a few meters behind the baseline where he could have taken full swings. I have a feeling he just thought it's "cool" to stand at the baseline.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

LOL at Zverev. PATHETIC again as usual. THe last opportunity of the match, and he's done.

Are you watching the match dude.

 

[ForehandCross]

It's like Djokovic has 10 layers to his game.

Serve, serve +1 , Rally, Droppers.


But he is vulnerable. If Z actually has a head on his shoulders he would know that he has gotten very close twice in 3 service games of Djokovic already, while his service has been safer.

This can be done. If he doesn't panic he can do this.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Luckiest player of all time.

 

[Slicehand]

Theres basically the difference, at the important points novak comes up with things like this, thats what new players havent been able to do yet, zverev is just trying to blast the ball left and right, very powerful, very deep, but very simple tennis

 

[SeeingDusk]

djokovic so many errors

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Zverev still holding.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

I wonder what Todd Martin thinks when watching matches like thi.

I wonder what StrongRule thinks. Probably on the verge of jumping off a roof.

 

[mike danny]

Djokovic mental game is the strongest of all time.

If we ignore all the times he DFs on BPs, sure.

 

[The Fedfather]

Zverev's ball toss is launching into space on some of those serves

 

[I Am Finnish]

I wonder what StrongRule thinks. Probably on the verge of jumping off a roof.

Bruhh

 

[Fedinkum]

Weak era set...

 

[El_Yotamo]

I wonder what StrongRule thinks. Probably on the verge of jumping off a roof.

Strongrule lives on through tennisfan3

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Come on Alex break him now

 

[MeatTornado]

I wonder what StrongRule thinks. Probably on the verge of jumping off a roof.

For his own mental health I genuinely hope he stopped watching at the same time he left the forum.

 

[fundrazer]

Good service game though. Let's turn the screws again in this game though.

 

[ForehandCross]

Good serving Z, he indeed has upped his serving.

 

[The Fedfather]

Not giving an inch on his serve. Well done

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'd make him hit the easy volley though after some of the misses he was spraying in that game. Make him hit the easy volley and hope he FAA's it. Only has to one time for the break.

yes.

 

[Shu-Pak]

Come on Alex break him now

No! Dont do it Alex.

 

[Sudacafan]

Nole is making too many UEs

 

[RaulRamirez]

FH DTL is just not there for Novak right now.

 

[Mivic]

This match isn't even close to being NID in favour of Djokovic.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Djokovic is missing so many shots. If Giraffe figures out all he has to do is put it in play, I will actually start to get nervous for Egg.

 

[Kralingen]

Djokovic is struggling hard on his service games

 

[Fedinkum]

Zverev's ball toss is launching into space on some of those serves

At some points, he has to lower his toss, it has to be one of the reasons for his erratic DFs.

 

[celito]

Djoko loses the set and MTO coming up.

 

[fundrazer]

Forehand down the line misfiring for Novak a lot.

 

[Fed881981]

Novak is not playing well. And it is still tied. 1-1, 3-3, 15-15.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Ah Djokogrunt

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Djokovic is missing so many shots. If Giraffe figures out all he has to do is put it in play, I will actually start to get nervous for Egg.

Immediately nets the next point like a spastic.
