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

[TennisFan3]

@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

Thanks man. Lots of people doubt Novak here. I just know only Fed and Nadal can challenge Novak. All these other next gen are just pretenders.

 

[killerboss]

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

Tsitsipas has also been a slow starter throughout the tournament. I predict the match would still be competitive.

 

[initialize]

And to think some people haven’t accepted this as the weakest era ever, lmao

 

[DIMI_D]

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.

Yes for sure next gen of Zverev, tsitsipas, Shapo amongst others just have to many holes in there game not improving or having that hunger stagnating and declining.
Alcaraz is a breathe of fresh air in terms of mentality vs these other jokers

It's a GOAT along with 2 other best players of all time. Everyone else is a pigeon.

 

[Pass750]

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

With ball girl in close proximity holding umbrella. Screw these guys, if they can’t control their temper ball people should nowhere near them. Let him bake on bench.

 

[TripleATeam]

Hopefully second set is closer.

 

[Rina]

And to think some people haven’t accepted this as the weakest era ever, lmao

If you are referring to all that came after Nadal, Fed and Djoko, sure, weak, but only a fool would call a BigThree era as WEAK!

 

[Bubcay]

Copy/Paste from yesterday so far.. Djokovic leads 4:0

 

[Deleted member 762343]

...

He’s not even funny anymore, just tiresome. It’s better to not reply to this nonsense.

 

[Checkmate]

Hopefully second set is closer.

Inner TripleA : Hopefully he bagels Tsits in the second

 

[Checkmate]

The quality , the shot tolerance, The fundamentals amongst the Fundamentals. What talent

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Wow…..this is a beat down.

 

[Checkmate]

First bagel of the tournament?

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic seems to be in a mood...

 

[USMC-615]

Titsy is liable to play a little better now…he broke that racquet that wasn’t doing right for him.

 

[JaxTeller]

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

2011 Novak, lmao.. tsitsipas is mugging up mate,nothing else

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

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

You can tell? Tsitsipas is too weak to provide a half-decent test.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

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?

Settle down Francis. I misread your post. Shoot me....

 

[Terenigma]

Should have been 5-0 right there. Easy put away for Djokovic hit way wide. Still feel like he'll break here though.

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic rushing to break and makes a terrible miss..

 

[abmk]

Its like this.
Someone to anyone from late 89-99 born players: you cannot play worse than this.
late 89-99 born players: challenge accepted!

2011 Novak, lmao.. tsitsipas is mugging up mate,nothing else

Didn’t you vote for Tsitsipas in 2?

 

[maratha_warrior]

Rome is totally different than RG for Novak .

Novak is the Second Greatest Rome Masters player ever .
No surprise he is playing so well here .

 

[Kralingen]

This is probably the worst Tsitsipas has played all season.

 

[Mivic]

LOL

 

[killerboss]

Tsitsipas in 3. Djokovic completely in the zone, ain't no way this is going to last as fatigue sinks in.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Beatings

 

[Checkmate]

You can tell? Tsitsipas is too weak to provide a half-decent test.

These people compare Tsitsipas to Rudd.

Rudd is generational. Exceptional. Phenomenal

 

[JaxTeller]

Lmao..What a miss , he could've bagelled him..

 

[Beerus]

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Rumor has it that Tsits has skipped lunch. The magnanimous Serb generously providing some baked goods.

 

[NatF]

Tsits is poor, Djokovic is the favourite for the FO.

 

[cloudluc]

Goat goating, nothing new, as predicted.

 

[L4S10s]

That cake was gluten-free

 

[dapchai]

The Philosopher to taste a nice donut for his dinner.

 

[Terenigma]

The state of the tour right now is in absolute shambles. This is a final between two players who are touted as possible title contenders for RG? Lol...

 

[TennisFan3]

This is probably the worst Tsitsipas has played all season.

Yeah. And Novak is just a chump right?
Accept it man. Novak is GOATing. I'm willing to bet my house that the French Open will be his. No player in ATP can beat Novak in this mood.

And he will be even better in RG.

 

[NoleFam]

82 mph forehand topspin average this set for Djokovic. Tsistipas at 78 mph. Triple break now.

 

[JaxTeller]

Didn’t you vote for Tsitsipas in 2?

What it has to do with whatever I said?

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas in 3. Djokovic completely in the zone, ain't no way this is going to last as fatigue sinks in.

What fatigue lol. I expected a straight sets loss for Stefanos. But this is a proper spanking lol. He’s getting killed out there.

 

[Bubcay]

This is truly a vintage Djokovic.. Putting overwhelming pressure on Tsitsipas. He just has no room to do anything now... Amazing 5 games by Novak..

 

[Winners or Errors]

Another weak era moment…. First set bagel. Embarrassing for tennis.

 

[USMC-615]

I smell a bagel…order up!

 

[ewiewp]

wow, smoothest djokovic i've seen in a very long while.
movements light, crisp hitting and all smooth executions.

 

[DIMI_D]

Embarrassing he looked spent even by the end of sinner match and his fitness was totally gone by end of Zverev match he az was to stupid or lack of skill to use that to his advantage but yes I have tsit no chance in this match

 

[Omega_7000]

And to think some people haven’t accepted this as the weakest era ever, lmao

Worst ever.

Watch them lose and then smile and rain praise on the winner...

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Tsitsipas in 3. Djokovic completely in the zone, ain't no way this is going to last as fatigue sinks in.

You may be right but the reason the GOATs are so far above everyone else is partly due to their ability to remain in the zone for entire matches. Most other players can't stay in the zone as consistently.

 

[JaxTeller]

Best clay courter getting bagelled by a 35 yr old ..

 

[TennisFan3]

Its like this.
Someone to anyone from late 89-99 born players: you cannot play worse than this.
late 89-99 born players: challenge accepted!

How about saying that Novak is playing amazing? It's like how peak Fed used to demolish Roddick, Gonzo etc.
