[>17]

Djokovic is the Vitali Kiltschko of tennis.

racking up title defenses against a USELESS nextgen

 

[Ajosin]

Sinner breaks with a brilliant point!

 

[Omega_7000]

Can he close this out or choke?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

the only decline I see in his power, Novak basically kills you with consistency, like a much better version of Hewitt.
He had more power in the 2011-2016 period

But, the rest of his game is just as good as back then, and in some aspects better, he serves better now

Just stop. This novak is no way better than novak from before.

 

[Sentinel]

Wow
Sinner to serve for set
Can he?

 

[NeutralFan]

Djokovic's impeccable wall got broken and Sinner breaks.

 

[darthrafa]

djoker is playing against a young self

 

[Krish0608]

Novak has to do something different here. He is not going to grind down Sinner I feel.

 

[Kralingen]

Maybe I was too conservative with my Djokovic in 5 pick

Novak looks completely helpless in rallies

Sinner GOATing

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sinner better not get tight here.

 

[TennisFan3]

Watch Novak break back. Time for Sinner to start choking, just as he did in set 3, set 4 vs Alcaraz.

 

[zuluzazu]

No way Sinner holds serve under so so so much pressure. Novak will become an absolute wall now

 

[ibbi]

Absolute baller performance from Jannik after dropping the first two games. Question is, what kind of frontrunner can he be when the other guys flips the switch.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Devastating tennis from Sinner to get the break. To serve for the set.

Just standard Sinner tennis. He just needs to know that he doesn’t need to do anything special to win this match.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner playing very well and breaks djoker. Tough match ahead. High standard.

 

[NoleFam]

Great play from Sinner but poor from Djokovic. Drop shot attempts have gotten him in serious trouble this set. I don't understand why we went off script when everything was going fine.

Wlad good one

I was thinking about about how both are so frustrating to be up against and force the opposition to fall apart.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Choke coming

 

[zuluzazu]

The mugging starts from Sinner

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak blew last year's first set against Berrettini too.

Long way to go.

 

[romeo8880]

Sinner better not get tight here.

Odds are he will lol

 

[darthrafa]

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

no
he is good with coming back from 1-4 down
not easy when playing against djoker

 

[tennisjedi]

Please don't crumble now.

 

[JaxTeller]

Btw..Those who believe Novak still has the best BH should watch this match..Sinner is bullying him in BH-BH exchanges

 

[ACE of Hearts]

These youngjns can never close the deal.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

As I said in op. This is the final for Djokovic. I knew Sinner would be his toughest opponent.

Djokovic wins here he wins the title but most likely he'll lost in 4.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Great play from Sinner but poor from Djokovic. Drop shot attempts have gotten him in serious trouble this set. I don't understand why we went off script when everything was going fine.

He wants to show his variety.

 

[Omega_7000]

People don't forget Tsitsipas was 2 sets to love up int he FO final and he found a way to lose that match....Never underestimate the mental giants that are next gen

 

[Bubcay]

Djokovic playing terribly now. Gifting so many points. Drop shots are NOT the way to go if you don't set them up well... He is losing this set unless he changes something soon. 4:1, break point for 5:1 and you lose the set..

 

[onyxrose81]

Novak is so stubborn with that damn drop shot and it cost him so much. His serve is having shades of 2009-2010.

 

[dapchai]

Danger time for Sinner.

 

[zuluzazu]

Sinner is GONE!!!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Here we go. These nextgeners never have the balls.

 

[D.Nalby12]

I UE + 1 DF --> Choke in process

 

[jl809]

May be. But his ground game is better than old Fedal. For sure.

No it isn’t. Go back and watch Fed from the Sunshine Double and especially Wimbledon ‘17 since that’s what’s relevant here. Absolutely no contest.

 

[TennisFan3]

LOL - as predicted Novak putting pressure and Sinner choking. Just doesn't have it mentally.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

They get tight . Two points away.

 

[ibbi]

I UE + 1 DF --> Choke in process

And two brilliant points to back each up.

 

[>17]

Wlad good one

I was thinking about about how both are so frustrating to be up against and force the opposition to fall apart.

fed is mike tyson (good peak, but got EXPOSED against real comp)

nadal is lennox (the modern day goat)

 

[zuluzazu]

No way Sinner comes out of this game LOL

 

[bertrevert]

Great play from Sinner but poor from Djokovic. Drop shot attempts have gotten him in serious trouble this set. I don't understand why we went off script when everything was going fine.

Cld be try exploit Sinner poor movement?

Only his ninth GS match on grass

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sinner needs to get his first serve in.

 

[dapchai]

Here we go. These nextgeners never have the balls.

Quite similar to what he did against Nadal at '20 and '21 RG. Takes the lead but can't close it out and loses the set.

 

[Third Serve]

No it isn’t. Go back and watch Fed from the Sunshine Double and especially Wimbledon ‘17 since that’s what’s relevant here. Absolutely no contest.

You’re right but that was a bit of a purple patch from the baseline and not something Fed was able to replicate in his previous or future seasons.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Set point.

 

[romeo8880]

Here we go. These nextgeners never have the balls.

I don’t understand why this happened. How were fed, Nadal, Djokovic mostly always able to close with no issues. But NOW, it seems if these new great players close it’s an amazing feat.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Told ya sinner is the next thing. Not alcaraz

 

[zuluzazu]

LOL Sinner is so so nervous. No way he wins this set

 

[RS]

fed is mike tyson (good peak, but got exposed against real comp)

nadal is lennox (the modern day goat)

Fed did last longer than Tyson tbh.

Love the Nadal and Lennox comparison.

 

[NoleFam]

Cld be try exploit Sinner poor movement?

Yea probably but they've been so bad.
