2022 Rome Final: [1] Novak Djokovic vs Stefanos Tsitsipas [4]

[mike danny]

Djokovic until Tsits grows some balls.

 

[MeatTornado]

I just don't see Tsitsipas having anything to hurt Novak with, based on the way he's played this whole clay season. He'll need to suddenly play his best tennis of the year if he's going to win this one. Novak's been too consistent since Belgrade ended.

 

[Krish0608]

A zoning Tsitsipas on clay could still not get it done against Nole last year. Stef needs to play at a level he’s never played all year to stand a chance. What are the odds of that happening today? In Roddick’s immortal words “Slim”.

 

[H22 fan]

Any live stream?

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

The final hoarding session about to start.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Novak doesn't like playing in the sun, I expect a close match

 

[weakera]

It's interesting that there is a lot of talk about Tsitsipas being in lesser form which he basically is but he's also one away from 2 M1000

 

[Kralingen]

Re-watched some of the RG ‘21 final and their Rome match and Tsitsipas was legitimately controlling the match with his serve+FH for stretches.

forgot that he was comprehensively outplaying Djokovic for the first set and a half in both matches. Both in day conditions as well.

I think Djok may be in trouble here.

There is no such thing as a zoning Tsitsipas tbh, just less weak than usual ROFLMAO.

 

[Beerus]

lol

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Peak roflmao on display straight away. Bunch of utterly pathetic wussies.

 

[Terenigma]

Literally just tuned in and Djokovic is already up a break? Haha oh boy!

 

[Arak]

Strong start from Tsitsipas

 

[Kralingen]

Hahahahha hahaha hahahaha hahaha

You clearly didn’t watch their matches on clay last year.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

NextGen in top form!!!

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Novak leads 4-0 h2h on clay. Which match in particular are you talking about where this "zoning" Tsitsipas was able to beat Novak?

 

[malbaker86]

This set is over w/already

 

[MeatTornado]

Not sure he'll lose a single point after that

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

I did. Once Djokovic improved his level Pizzypus was toast every single time.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Tittypuss justifying his nickname so far.

 

[TennisFan3]

This is like 2011 Novak. At this level, the next 3 slams will be his.

Novak is showing that even at 35, had he not been banned from AO he might very well have done the CYGS.

This guy is a slam winning machine.

I said even a zoning Tsitsipas was NOT able to beat Nole last year. Smh. Maybe rewatch their Rome encounter from last year instead of jumping in with no context?

[L4S10s]

djokovic apolgising for a winner lmao

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Peak stronk on display thus far.

 

[Milanez82]

161 km/h BH winner by Djokovic
He is really killing it

 

[TennisFan3]

Next gen just lack talent, ability and work ethic. Titspas is worse than last year and getting clobbered. How is that even possible? How does a young player decline instead of getting better? And a 35 yr old player keeps getting better.

 

[dapchai]

No escape from the Greatest French Tennis Player Of All Time in Men's Singles.

 

[killerboss]

Tsitsi got a plan here. Wear him down... Would still lmao if he loses to a mid 30s dude with zero muscle mass though.

 

[maratha_warrior]

Djokovic's Outfit is a Slam winning one .
Sec C outfit

 

[Terenigma]

Tsitsipas is saving himself for RG clearly.

 

[Checkmate]

Man, Kralingen dead wrong again.

No escape from the Roman Serbian

 

[RF-18]

Goatovic!!!

 

[Bubcay]

Wow, double break already... Djokovic killing it for now...

 

[Beerus]

Cipiripi

 

[Breakpointerer]

Tsitsipas lol

 

[NoleFam]

Double break. Djokovic's ballstriking has been great so far and quite heavy.

 

[Terenigma]

He did go up 4-0 against Ruud before the latter pulled one break back but Novak looks a lot better today.

 

[James P]

Stefanos looking pretty bad out there.

 

[longmacchiato]

Poor Tsits is dead already, what a shame

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

The bagel is cooking ladies and gentlemen

 

[Nostradamus]

looks like Stepanoe is the one worn down and has nothign left. will he even recover for french open time ?

 

[Checkmate]

@TennisFan3

As usual, only you are right on this entire board. Look how Tsitsipas is beating his Wilson bag as if Roger Federer hasn't worked his butt off to popularise the brand name and he gets to beat it like that

 

[TennisFan3]

Hahahahha hahaha hahahaha hahaha

Do you recall man when you said Novak will do nothing on clay?
He looks better than ever. He's going to crush the field in RG.

 

[Beerus]

Tsitsipas mad already.

 

[Bubcay]

Tsitsipas got a warning for smashing his racquet at his bag..

 

[dapchai]

This match is over w/already

FTFY.

 

[Krish0608]

Bagel ?

 

[Rina]

How is Tsetse fly in charge when Novak is 3 games up?
