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

[fundrazer]

Z gonna lose cause he didn't capitalize on the ****ty level from Novak in sets 2 and 3. Oh well.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Clutch serving in that game lol

 

[gadge]

Gonna cry?

Yeah what injury, he just held his back once!!! Is he not even allowed that

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

You have been saving this one?

We've used it before but it had to come back. @Hitman approved.

 

[bjsnider]

Zverev has played a great match, and almost nobody in the world could beat him, but there's one guy who could.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko 3-0 up. Amazing level last few games.

 

[beltsman]

mate are we watching the same thing?

These sets have been won and lost by Zverev

Djokovic is simply "there." It's on Z's racquet.

 

[ark_28]

Would like to see Novak get a double break and try and get make a statement in the 5th

 

[BayAreaBooster]

How does Djokovic pull off "lockdown" mode over and over? Truly GOAT. All his meditation, yoga and spiritual training help him besides his out of the world fitness and flexibility.

 

[MichaelNadal]

He never gets tired, idk why its still surprising to me. Bro just get a LITTLE fatigued? ****. This is like 2005 Agassi rolling the tour.

 

[Zodd]

I'm afraid that zvervsys demeanor says it all atm - where is the true grit!?

 

[DjokoLand]

Whoever wins this deserves it. Both players are putting in max effort - well Zverev certainly is, hard to tell with Djokovic. Can't call this a weak era with the level Zverev is showing.

No didn’t you know you can’t lose to a 34 year old or your a mug. Zverev has played well and Djokovic has showed the level he can get too if needed

 

[TennisFan3]

Zverev is going to CRY. He will NEVER win a slam.

Meanwhile Med soiled his pants.

Expect 1-2 more breaks and a 6-1 set or something.

 

[Terenigma]

mate are we watching the same thing?

These sets have been won and lost by Zverev

That's true of every Zverev match tho... lol

 

[Sudacafan]

It's a shame if you get outlasted by a 10 year older opponent

Not if you’re 5 years old.

 

[FedrMatt]

People can say next gen sucks or whatever but the level Nole can still produce at 34 is insane

Novak is there for the pickings and no one can take advantage of it. It has more to do with how weak this era is that anything else

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

We all need to send a fruit basket to @MichaelNadal . I wish I could take the credit for Egg being up 3-0. But it's all Michael.

 

[yokied]

Zod, your host at Heartbreak Hotel, will escort you to the Nexgen Oxygen Vampire suite, where you can recharge in the Egg.

LMAO

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Its the definition of a weak era

If Novak gets a CYGS at 35, that stat just proves it.

Oh stop it. The guy’s about to surpass Federer and nadal.

 

[Nostradamus]

This guy is useless ,,,, bring on Medvedev now

 

[Lleytonstation]

 

[I Am Finnish]

Lol that dropper

 

[FedrMatt]

Oh stop it. The guy’s about to surpass Federer and nadal.

If Nadal and Federer had this level of competition at Novak’s age, they’d be on 30 slams.

 

[The Green Mile]

Another line licker! Double check those machines!

 

[Zodd]

Not if you’re 5 years old.

haha

 

[t-pain1991]

Congrats Zverev, you can give up and leave the tournament with your head held high knowing you have pushed Djokovic to 5 sets. Weak mental. Will never be a worthy slam champion even if he wins one in the future

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

Novak and Alex right now.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This guy is useless ,,,, bring on Medvedev now

Unfortunately I think that’s a great matchup for novak if he wins here.

 

[Cortana]

Damn, Novak in total control now.

 

[The Devil probably]

High level from Nonak

 

[Hitman]

What a brutal match this has been, for both.

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic playing the best he has all night

 

[El_Yotamo]

Zverev is clearly done both physically and mentally

 

[roysid]

Over to medvedev now to save humanity..well if not humanity then atleast tennis history

 

[ForehandCross]

Even if Z breaks back, Djokovic has already won.

Djokovic will literally die on court before letting a 3-0 lead in the 5th set to a loss with CYGS at stake.

 

[mike danny]

He never gets tired, idk why its still surprising to me. Bro just get a LITTLE fatigued? ****. This is like 2005 Agassi rolling the tour.

2004-2005 Agassi had an ATG opponent.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

You've said nothing quantifiable. Throwing buzzwords as well as ranting about a game and a quality of tennis that I don't like with the most surface level justifications is why much of your opinions on tennis mean literally nothing to me.

" Reverse apologists " lmao. Do you ever read what you type in your head? Simply saying that I don't derive the same kind of enjoyment from a standard Federer match versus a standard Novak match is the reason why " tennis is going bad. " What a joke.

As I said, you're part of the crowd welcoming the lessening of tennis quality, allowing it to happen with little effect on popularity/marketing. Literally cheering the worse product like protracted careful exchanges over manufacturing attacks from the get-go.

 

[swordtennis]

Body blow body blow body blow

 

[gogo]

Before this match started I didn't know who I wanted to win. I wanted Nole to win because of his accomplishments and chance at CYGS. I wanted Zed to win because he was the underdog.
But once the match got underway, I found myself cheering for Sasha. Who would have thought? I've never even liked him (but have felt a bit sorry for him for the abuse he has taken in the past as a young player for not doing well in slams.

It might be all academic at this point, as Djoko is looking better in the early going of set 5. Sasha looking shaky.

 

[DjokoLand]

If Nadal and Federer had this level of competition at Novak’s age, they’d be on 30 slams.

Nadal is literally a year older so he does have the competition

 

[TripleATeam]

THAT WAS A POINT!!!!

 

[Sudacafan]

Bagel?

 

[The Devil probably]

Break point!!!!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Zverev lol

 

[80s New Wave]

Match point here basically.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing defence from Djokovic!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Zverev about to get a bagel shoved up his Next Gen posterior?

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

What a miss

 

[Cortana]

Please double break!
