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

[Hitman]

What a game from both!

Djokovic 2-1

 

[Indigo]

Who won that rally? My livestream crashed long time ago...

 

[MeatTornado]

Well, we all saw it coming

I didn't

Spoiler

I thought it would be on a double-fault

 

[Fed881981]

Slicovic in action in that game. He should it more with this guy.

 

[Bubcay]

This was just an insane game. Unbelievable... 53 shots. Crazy... What a match..

 

[Enceladus]

Wow, that was an incredibly tense game with a good ending for Novak!

 

[NoleFam]

Holy crap, that game was intemse. The rallies....Djokovic goes up 2 sets tp 1.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Too bad Zverev has no net game. He could have ended at that the 40 shot ralley instead of the 50 plus

 

[bhpower]

Great shot by Z to get to 30-40...Novak can't drive his FHDTL by him.

And he could in the next point.

 

[mike danny]

Disgusting pushervic

Zverev was the one who pushed on that last point.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

What percentage of the jockbase you think wholeheartedly believes such rallying to be the best tennis ever possible? Does it cross 80%?

 

[JadeC]

Lockdown mode Djokovic takes the 3rd!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak a set away from reaching the final and closer to Laver and surpassing federer and nadal.

 

[gadge]

Djokovic only player with hurt back to play a 53 shot rally. What a faker.

He held his back once!! Why are you interpreting that he has a back ache it was just a momentary thing

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

I don’t think those rallies benefit Zeverev. He is fit and younger, but Djokovic literally never gets tired.

The back pain in between the points sucks out the fatigue.

 

[Halba]

CraZy. Longest rally ever!

 

[TripleATeam]

Love it when a plan comes together.

Don't I know it

 

[stringertom]

There was more effort in that one lone game than all that was expended by that frigging Canadian clown a few hours ago. What a game!

Djok 2-1.

 

[Noleberic123]

Pushervic hit more winners

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Why would you play Nole's game? What kind of IDIOT are you? Hes the greatest baseliner of all time. Hit angles and attack idiot. Don't trade shots

 

[ForehandCross]

The single biggest difference is that Djokovic has 10 different ways to get out of messes, and doesn't outright put himself in one.


Z inevitably puts himself in there. For 0-40, Djokovic didn't do too much.

 

[Ginger ninja]

Fitness levels of the 34 year old man are off the charts.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I didn't

Spoiler

I thought it would be on a double-fault

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Now Zverev must switch 'Tokyo 2020' mode on.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Zverev needs to play points like those from now on.

 

[Nostradamus]

no t ghoot. maybe hoepfully novak hurt himself

 

[The Fedfather]

Who needs to shush someone in the audience? I am frustrated and upset with Zverev's serve, but riding the Sasha train to hell. Like, he has the spirit, hopefully the game will catch up. Bring the 1st set big boss play

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Zverev was the one who pushed on that last point.

And the one who hits slices and hopes for a Zverev miss is, yeah, Djokovic

 

[SonicNirvana]

 

[ACE of Hearts]

How does a 34 year old player ALWAYS wears down guys 10-15 years younger than him?
Zverev is PANTING and almost done here.

Zverev is overrated a hell. The thought of this guy winning a GS makes me vomit.

 

[time_fly]

Tsisipas would have been in the bathroom for 30 minutes after that game.

 

[BrokenGears]

What percentage of the jockbase you think wholeheartedly believes such rallying to be the best tennis ever possible? Does it cross 80%?

That rallying was incredible. I'd rather watch this than the standard Federer match.

 

[DjokoLand]

Too be fair to Zverev I expected him to give it away at 5-4 or 6-5 but it was a incredible game and Djokovic earned it so

 

[Deleted member 762343]

 

[RF-18]

Djokovic is UNBELIEVEABLE. He was truly in lockdown mode that game. But so was Zverev, he refused to lose that

 

[The Fedfather]

What's your take now @The Fedfather ?

What is Zverev's 5 set record?

 

[El_Yotamo]

Commentator: "well it's only two sets to one, Zverev can get back into this"
Me:

 

[NoleFam]

Zverev doesn't like the slice and you can tell the difference in quality of shot from when he gets a tospin versus a slice. Djokovic was so smart to use that slice in that last game to get that set.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Djokovic gets to serve first again lmaooooo. Best part of the break. Finish him Egg

 

[mike danny]

Djokovic once again showing that the Next Gen have no saving grace.

 

[Nate7-5]

Djokovic loses the battle, wins the war
Too predictable, too sad

LOL - McEnroe is reading this forum

 

[alinefx]

Djoker serving first in every set of this match

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Zverev,, "Lets see I'm playing Djokovic, what should I do? I know, Trade shots from the baseline with him. That will get me a win"

 

[Ray Mercer]

Djokovic was basically goading him into hitting either a winner or unforced error. Eventually he folded and set is Djokovic's.

Wawrinka would have stepped in and cracked a winner. Djokovic is a pusher at heart and you need to take it to him like Stan does.

 

[Tarkovsky]

 

[ForehandCross]

This isn't exactly over. There can be a 5th set. But now the outcome is 100% certain. Djokovic will win.

And inevitable he will get the CYGS too. Kudos to him.

 

[Checkmate]

There was more effort in that one lone game than all that was expended by that frigging Canadian clown a few hours ago. What a game!

Djok 2-1.

Missed the match. Heard he was 5-2 up in a set

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This could still go 5 sets.

 

[mike danny]

And the one who hits slices and hopes for a Zverev miss is, yeah, Djokovic

Not his fault Zverev goes into pusher mode.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Djokovic gets to serve first again lmaooooo. Best part of the break. Finish him Egg
