2022 Wimbledon QF: Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner

[Rosstour]

People really underestimating how heavy Sinner's shots are.

 

[Third Serve]

crazy turnaround

 

[The Green Mile]

Such a good save, brilliant I/I forehand down BP.

 

[ojo rojo]

Ooh this could get good

 

[RS]

Sinner playing the level of 2004 Roddick.

 

[Slicehand]

How many games ypu think is sinner gonna get now eh? Eh?

 

[onyxrose81]

People really underestimating how heavy Sinner's shots are.

Novak didn’t help his case by having his serve go AWOL and using his crappy drop shots.

 

[sometennisdot]

This is nice and all but as I said Sinner do not have the mentality

 

[WildRevolver]

Seriously, Sinner might win this set (though I doubt it), but Sinner will have NOTHING left in those little legs very soon.

 

[Third Serve]

Sinner playing the level of 2004 Roddick.

lol

 

[Bubcay]

I said this won't be easy for Djokovic. Sinner is on a mission...

 

[MeatTornado]

Get it together, Novak.

 

[D.Nalby12]

It's unbelievable how good Novak is at age of 35. Especially his ground game is way better than Fed or Nadal's at same age. This is why he is smart bet to win Slam race despite falling behind by two Slams. This guy hasn't declined at all in last 3-4 years.

 

[zuluzazu]

Sinner back to his muggy ways. Returning second serves with no power

 

[Poisoned Slice]

A free one there. Back at deuce.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Just got to work, will be checking the scores periodically. C'mon Jannik

 

[RS]

lol

Last few games he is. Whole match he probably won't but we can hope.

 

[ojo rojo]

People really underestimating how heavy Sinner's shots are.

Jannik's groundstrokes are better than Carlos. Fight me

 

[zuluzazu]

Sinner to get broken next game. We have seen this movie so many times. Djokodal save BP and break next game

 

[Rosstour]

Jannik's groundstrokes are better than Carlos. Fight me

he won that match for a reason.

 

[dapchai]

Expect Sinner to be broken now

 

[Halba]

going to be a long match. sinner's the real deal and djok is very far from his prime.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Sinner tries to deal with Djokovic a bit like Nishikori tried to deal with him, very difficult to sustain it IMO

 

[D.Nalby12]

Old Djokovic outclassing Sinner backhand..

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Sinner is so good.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

going to be a long match. sinner's the real deal and djok is very far from his prime.

The real deal to be broken now and lose in 3 lol

 

[Kralingen]

Sinner playing the level of 2004 Roddick.

Better in all facets except for the serve?

 

[Carax]

Alright, it was fun while it lasted, but Djokovic will break here and take the set.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Jannik's groundstrokes are better than Carlos. Fight me

I can't be touched.

 

[NeutralFan]

Sinner playing the level of 2004 Roddick.

Yep, 2004Roddick's bh was as good as Sinners.

 

[bertrevert]

Hate to think it just Djok making thr Sinner look good for a bit, cos if it is, urggh

Back on serve.

 

[zuluzazu]

Typical Sinner match at slams against Djokodal. Good first set but loses and then bakery products

 

[Kralingen]

As I keep saying to everyone,

THIS IS WHY YOU BET NADAL AT 9 ODDS

 

[TripleATeam]

Seriously, Sinner might win this set (though I doubt it), but Sinner will have NOTHING left in those little legs very soon.

Sinner only ran 40m more than Novak so far - about 5%.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic's level dipped and he gave Sinner new life. Idiotic drop shot attempts and double faulting. Now this set is a battle becaue Sinner won't give it away.

 

[dapchai]

Alright, it was fun while it lasted, but Djokovic will break here and take the set.

We have seen this movie too many times.

 

[RS]

Yep, 2004Roddick's bh was as good as Sinners.

You can't be serious.

 

[NeutralFan]

Poor return on second serve on bp costed him that break.

 

[TennisFan3]

Expect Novak to break for the set now. Sinner will choke when it gets tight and Novak will lift off a notch.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I like those OP out yells. Maxed out on Skyrim style.

 

[RS]

Better in all facets except for the serve?

Mayb

 

[D.Nalby12]

Just got to work, will be checking the scores periodically. C'mon Jannik

This may be waste of time. Sinner' mentality is suspect. There is good chance he will come short in style of Shapo after pushing Djokovic hard.

 

[jl809]

Djokovic’s game atm is entirely reliant on a GOATing ROS and getting a good first forehand off his own serve. All Sinner has to do is get the point going and Djokovic is in trouble. He can’t rally for **** right now, he has no offensive groundstrokes, his drop shots have always been dire apart from that set point one against Nadal in 2021 and he barely comes to the net. And yet some mugs on here say he is close to his “legendary” form. He may get there but he is nowhere near there right now

 

[NeutralFan]

You can't be serious.

Who started

 

[onyxrose81]

Just an idiotic game from Djokovic and he made this set into a battle. Stupid.

 

[prosperned]

This is not the same Djokovic

 

[Krish0608]

It's unbelievable how good Novak is at age of 35. Especially his ground game is way better than Fed or Nadal's at same age. This is why he is smart bet to win Slam race despite falling behind by two Slams. This guy hasn't declined at all in last 3-4 years.

His ROS is nowhere close to what it used to be, his lateral movement has declined considerably and he is more prone to mental lapses. He has definitely declined.

 

[TennisFan3]

As I keep saying to everyone,

THIS IS WHY YOU BET NADAL AT 9 ODDS

Man - Nadal won't make it past Fritz, I have a feeling.
The American is playing too well. Big serve - far bigger than both Sinner and Novak. Loves hitting big on high balls and crushing Nadal's spin.
Big trouble for Rafa.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sinner needs to hold here.

 

[>17]

Sinner only ran 40m more than Novak so far - about 5%.

novak could have run 2 km longer and would still be the fresher of the two
