2022 Astana Open final :- Djokovic vs Tsitsipas

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas is missing bread and butter forehands now. So bad.

 

[Bubcay]

Tsitsi with a good hold.. This could have been a decisive moment of the match..

 

[Bubcay]

Aren't Grand Slam champions already locked in regardless where they're ranked?

No. They have to be between 8th and 20th position in the race to qualify.

 

[The_Order]

Can't return for ****

 

[Krish0608]

Another love hold. The result is NID but the real question is, will Tsitsipas win another return point in this match?

 

[Krish0608]

Abysmal game from Tsitsipas. Just awful. Go back to tennis school man. This is downright embarrassing.

 

[PSNELKE]

Tsitsipas. This man has no grit, no fight in him. As soon as he got broken in the 1st set, the match was over. How on earth did he lead the H2H on HCs 3-2?

[Bubcay]

Let's not kid ourselves, Djokovic is in charge here. No doubt about it... Tsitsipas has run out of ideas how to handle him...

 

[NoleFam]

Lol. Tsitsipas just broke himself in that game. Horrible service game.

 

[Pablo1989]

Tsitsipas is a complete loser.

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas finally won a return point. He can now go home feeling good about himself.

 

[Pablo1989]

Who the fck is Spherical?

It was 2-0, not 3-2.

 

[jindra]

Oh Stefanos... just a little kid who doesn't know how to fight...

 

[mike danny]

Who the fck is Spherical?

Ignore him.

 

[mahatma]

Ignore him.

Exactly did that. Lol. What a clown

 

[mahatma]

Djokovic level has been quite high today. It's a formality from here on.

 

[RF-18]

Who the fck is Spherical?

TTW has done a good job of just making posts non existent when you put people on ignore. So just put the guy on ignore and everything is dandy.

 

[Krish0608]

Yesterday's win over Rublev itself was a big Houdini act. It was Rublev who imploded after bullying Tsitsipas in that 1st set. Tsitsipas is way too reliant on opponents' bad play than on his own skills. He will never get gifts from the likes of Novak and that's why he never wins.

 

[PSNELKE]

It was 2-0, not 3-2.

Before this match Tsitsipas leads the H2H on HCs with 3-2

Toronto 2018 - Tsitsipas
Shanghai 2019 - Tsitsipas
Paris Bercy 2019 - Djokovic
Abu Dhabi Exo 2019 - Tsitsipas
Dubai 2020 - Djokovic

Abu Dhabi probably doesn't count but it was played competitively 3-6 7-6 6-4 for Tsitsipas

It's not probably. It definitely doesn't count.

 

[PSNELKE]

Out of 40 points on Djokovic's serve, Tsitsipas has won....3. Threee! 1 of 8 on 2nd serve. LOL Absolutely pathetic. Novak playing good stuff but still...

Tsitsipas is the next Gen with little to no improvements over 3 years. He has in fact stagnated quite a lot from the player he was in 2019

 

[Carax]

Lost generation > peak Tsitsipas

#changemymind

 

[RF-18]

Oh no

 

[Breakpointerer]

Tsitsipas almost doubling the amount of return points won in this game alone

 

[mahatma]

what a backhand dtl was that!

 

[RF-18]

#90

 

[mike danny]

7 straight losses against 32-35 year old Djokovic....

 

[Krish0608]

Great tennis from Novak. Embarrassing from Tsitsipas. He will always be a bridesmaid and never a bride. Just doesn't seem to have it in him.

 

[PSNELKE]

I'm done rooting for this tit. Dude's one of the best indoor HC players and he sits back and waits for Novak of all people to make mistakes and win cheap points off. Absolutely embarrassing performance

 

[Silentchimera]

That backhand DTL at 40-40 by Djokovic was ridiculous.

 

[Hitman]

Incredible...

Djokovic has won four of the last five tournaments he has played, and they were across all three surfaces.

 

[NoleFam]

Title #90. Has another great week and I guess onto Paris. Tsitsipas really didn't do anything on return today. Djokovic was really never in danger.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I didn’t realise the match was already on. I thought it was a bit later. I just tuned in and just caught his winning point. Number 90 title in bag! What an achievement! Back to back titles!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Surely they'll choose the most famous Kazakh to hand in the trophy?

 

[Hitman]

How long before he catches Nadal on that front? Nadal only two titles ahead.

 

[PSNELKE]

Title #90. Has another great week and I guess onto Paris. Tsitsipas really didn't do anything on return today. Djokovic was really never in danger.

He not playing Basel or Vienna?

 

[toxicity]

Djokovic will try to win all categories from 250-2000 this year including 1500 and on all 3 surface

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

How long before he catches Nadal on that front? Nadal only two titles ahead.

He’s coming for the Spaniard on everything. Only thing safe for Nadal is his clay records.

 

[NoleFam]

How long before he catches Nadal on that front? Nadal only two titles ahead.

At this rate, probably not long. Lol

 

[Hitman]

He’s coming for the Spaniard on everything. Only thing safe for Nadal is his clay records.

He is indeed. Imagine, this guy was banned from two slams and four masters this year, and really only two other guys have done better than him all season long.

 

[mahatma]

How long before he catches Nadal on that front? Nadal only two titles ahead.

YE #92 each it can possibly be.

 

[NoleFam]

So Djokovic has won a Slam, a Masters, a 500 and 250 this year. Clean sweep can be complete with ATP Finals title.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

I'm actually impressed he can still win back-to-back 250s. Best of three is dangerous ground for ageing top players, anything can happen.

 

[TheAssassin]

1-2 behind in H2H at one point but he waited patiently for the Philosopher to decline and develop toilet emergencies. Now he is reaping the rewards.

Clay, grass, hard. Masters, Slam, 250 and 500. Might as well take Torino at this point for perfect balance. The one he is so well known for.

Another stunning week. Number 90. Siiiiiiiiii

 

[Hitman]

So Djokovic has won a Slam, a Masters, a 500 and 250 this year. Clean sweep complete.

All three surfaces.

 

[NoleFam]

All three surfaces.

Yea while not playing half the tour. Lol.

 

[Hitman]

Tennis has truly returned and tennis fans all over the world are happy.
