2022 Belgrade Final: Novak Djokovic [1] vs Andrey Rublev [2]

[TheNachoMan]

Has anyone ever won a tournament by losing the first set in every match?

 

[NoleFam]

Rublev can't volley for s**t. Djokovic says thanks. Onto to the 3rd.

 

[Kralingen]

Ha, expect anything different?

 

[ttwreader]

3rd set.

 

[Ledigs]

That looked hella awkward ouch

 

[spottishwood]

MUG

 

[TheNachoMan]

Ha, expect anything different?

I think you maybe did. lol

 

[Beerus]

The greatest set of all time.

 

[Beulah Jesus]

Both players looked gas at the end of the 2nd set..Rublev looking clueless.

Rublev can't volley for s**t. Djokovic says thanks. Onto to the 3rd.

No one in this weak era can volley apart from the old senilerers. Alcaraz is getting good at net I guess.

 

[RF-18]

6-1 Rublev final set. Djoko is knackered and humidity is killing him.

 

[dapchai]

Just checked the livescore and I wonder why people keep watching the same movie.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice one Novak! I’m just delighted he’s pushed it to 3. Whatever happens now it is been a great week for Novak!

 

[TheNachoMan]

Because it’s a cinematic masterpiece

i would guess french players. they often starts after losing a set.

 

[Checkmate]

Djokovic's conditioning is dogshate, for now. This would have been over if it was Garfia instead of The Rublev

6-1 Rublev final set. Djoko is knackered and humidity is killing him.

Yeah, it looks really hot...

 

[NoleFam]

Win or lose, this match was what the doctor ordered for Djokovic. Tough top 10 opponent pummeling his weak strokes from the baseline and forcing him to hit with more depth and authority, and tiring him out so his stamina is tested. Great preparation for the rest of the clay season.

 

[Legend of Borg]

What's up with Jokarr's conditioning?

Kinda sketchy to say the least.

Has he lost that much stamina since last year?

 

[NoleFam]

Alcaraz is naturally good at net. Not everyone inheritantly has soft hands up there.

Haters say it's long covid.

 

[Bubcay]

Nice one Novak! I’m just delighted he’s pushed it to 3. Whatever happens now it is been a great week for Novak!

Agree, but it also exposed that he is not in a brilliant physical shape at the moment.. He needs to get that sorted by RG.. Two weeks. Best of 5... Hmmm

 

[Kralingen]

Djoker is 35 next month, not too shocking that the energy reserves seem to be diminishing. It’s happened to everyone, Fedal struggle with it too.

It's the vaccine he took.

He’s 35? I thought he was 25, the way RAFA fans make the age excuse with him. lol

 

[MeatTornado]

Seriously don't understand how so many keep falling for it every year like clockwork

Novak is not out of gas

 

[NoleFam]

What's up with Jokarr's conditioning?

Kinda sketchy to say the least.

Has he lost that much stamina since last year?

Probably because he played 3 matches in 5 months before this tournament.

He hasn’t started his intracellular fitness regimen yet.

 

[Checkmate]

The crowd is delighted with some rest time between the sets

 

[Ledigs]

Djokovic is probably doing intense physical training off court since he’s missed so much

 

[dapchai]

I wouldn't be surprised if Angry gets broken this game.

 

[Aabye5]

Rope-a-dope 101...

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic finally attacking Rublev's 2nd serve.. Getting into the court even...

 

[Legend of Borg]

Probably because he played 3 matches in 5 months before this tournament.

Oh ok. I thought he was applying for a Finnish citizenship.

 

[MeatTornado]

Risky touch shot by Rublev on BP

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic finally attacking Rublev's 2nd serve.. Getting into the court even...

And just as I said this, he again camps far behind the baseline.. And loses points..

 

[NoleFam]

Oh ok. I thought he was applying for a Finnish citizenship.

According to TTW, Djokovic has applied for Finnish citizenship like 5 times.

 

[Quaichang]

Big hold by Rublev

 

[Beulah Jesus]

And Rublev escapes....

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

This is difficult to watch.

 

[Deleted member 788697]

Djok is done fork him!

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Retirement coming from Djokovic here

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Congrats Rublev on 1st slam!

 

[Legend of Borg]

According to TTW, Djokovic has applied for Finnish citizenship like.5 times.

"The reports of my Finnish tour have been greatly exaggerated"

 

[Kralingen]

Well there’s the break… but it wasn’t really a thrilling break, kind of painful like watching two old guys chase down drop shots…

Both guys looking quite gassed.

 

[Mivic]

Seriously don't understand how so many keep falling for it every year like clockwork

Novak is not out of gas

Except he obviously is lol.

 

[The Fedfather]

Great point from Rublev to break. Novak is back to his peak in ball bouncing before the serve

 

[Quaichang]

Looks like all those 3 setters catching up to Nole

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic is playing pretty average today (with moments of brilliance). The fact that Rublev did not win in straight sets tells more about his form than Djokovic's..

 

[junior74]

6-1 Rublev final set. Djoko is knackered and humidity is killing him.

Humidity killed Djokovic, curiosity killed the cat. Will humility eventually kill Nadal?
