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

[swordtennis]

Stop you need to put your sour grapes away.You just that Federer wasn’t 34 playing in this age lol. When Federer was 34 he was still making semis and finals but he couldn’t get over the hump that was djokovic.

Not sure why they even are watching tennis anymore.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Big 3 retire and we are left with Zverev as the best player. A dude that gets served bakery products in a 5th and deciding set to a guy 4-5 years past his prime and 10-11 years older

Time for Golden Girls. Good match. We needed one good match for the men from the QF onwards. Can’t leave it to Fernandez to do all the heavy lifting for the slam.

 

[ForehandCross]

I am almost literally hurt by this, stomach in knots. How are you doing this now? Why? The hope is painful

You are doing this to yourself.

Do you really think Djokovic would lose with just one game away from victory , let alone when CYGS is at stake? If he gets broken here, he will break Z next game.

[SeeingDusk]

what a point by z for another bp

 

[swordtennis]

This is still a war!

 

[joekapa]

Zed will break here.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

A lot of people thought it was over in Cinci too and he won the title there. It's not over until it's over.

You're comparing Rublev to Djokovic ?

 

[Indigo]

Zverev might break back

 

[ACE of Hearts]

How many has Novak won at the same age, with far weaker competition?

You walked straight into that one lol

Man I hope you don’t cry on Sunday if Novak wins a CGS and surpasses roger in the slams total count.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

THE COMEBACK IS ON

 

[TripleATeam]

Zed will serve, then look to break Novak again. Tall task.

 

[Sudacafan]

oh well

 

[Ace of Aces]

Good fight to make the score look respectable at least

 

[FedrMatt]

Leave him. He is butthurt that Fed didn't end up as GOAT and he's throwing a hissy fit.

Guy is a clown. Let him cry a river.

I couldn’t give a stuff about Federer lol

I just don’t like Novak and think he’s inferior in both technique, skills, entertainment, and level of play to Fedal.

 

[joekapa]

Damn....

 

[GabeT]

How many has Novak won at the same age, with far weaker competition?

You walked straight into that one lol

Stop whining

 

[mike danny]

You're comparing Rublev to Djokovic ?

He's comparing Tsitsipas to Djokovic. Not really any better LOL.

 

[Terenigma]

One break recovered. This is NOT over yet. Zverev has shown several times this year that he can fight back. Don't celebrate yet.

 

[SonicNirvana]

not so fast my friends

 

[El_Yotamo]

One can only imagine what this match would've looked like had Zverev not been...well, himself

 

[MeatTornado]

Zed with a chance to make the scoreline look respectable.

 

[gadge]

Zverev plays well when he’s losing and crap when he has a chance

 

[SinneGOAT]

 

[Cortana]

Novak isn't losing after leading 5:0 in the 5th.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Credit to Zverev he pushed for that break. Djoko double faults

 

[fundrazer]

You're comparing Rublev to Djokovic ?

He's referencing the SF with Tsitsipas.

 

[RF-18]

He is about ti choke this away. Ffs he has some real pressure now

 

[Open Stance]

Novak always needs to make things interesting.

 

[celito]

Djokovic tired of serving ... just gonna take it on Zverev's serve.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Bruhhh

Huge bold prediction: Zverev to win with 7-5

 

[Kralingen]

Mental GOAT breaks self with a DF serving for the match, unreal stuff

 

[kishnabe]

Zeverev making sure to DF at MP instead.

 

[Indigo]

Zverev back in the match but trailing a lot. He would need great miracle.

 

[iopzzza]

Just give up Sasha, jesus....

 

[N01E]

Come on Novak!

 

[mike danny]

Stop whining

The guy he is responding to is a grade A whiner.

 

[FedrMatt]

Man I hope you don’t cry on Sunday if Novak wins a CGS and surpasses roger in the slams total count.

I won’t.

The tour is already anaemic at this point. Novak winning a CYGS at 35 will just further prove how much of a joke it is.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Zverev plays well when he’s losing and crap when he has a chance

lol. Exactly. When he's losing he's the best player in the world atm.

 

[Harry_Wild]

ESPN has a three minute delay of the live coverage! Look at the court clock and live click at home! Switching to ES.

 

[swordtennis]

People whining during a 5 set battle.
Tennis fans.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Well, it's not over..

Imagine if Djokovic chokes a 5-0 lead...

 

[RaulRamirez]

Getting a bit dicey...

 

[MeatTornado]

He is about ti choke this away. Ffs he has some real pressure now

He already did. Lost the match an hour ago, don't you remember?

USO is old news. We're on to Australia.

No one is celebrating, apart from the butt hurt Fed fans.

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic just rubber-stamped the GOAT distinction.

Fed and Nadal are not even close to Novak. Novak has done everything. Dominated 3 generations of tennis.

 

[Sudacafan]

I couldn’t give a stuff about Federer lol

I just don’t like Novak and think he’s inferior in both technique, skills, entertainment, and level of play to Fedal.

Yes, the only thing he knows how to do, is winning tennis matches.

 

[NoleFam]

Can't find the serve when it's time to close it out. Good thing he has two breaks but he needs to not let this get complicated.
