2022 Wimbledon SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs Cameron Norrie [9]

[mike danny]

Novak will get a look at enough of krygios serves as well. The court is like green clay now which isn’t good for Nick. Plus Novak is more used to centre than Nick as well. Nick needs the first 2 sets to have any chance.

I've learnt that even if you give them the first 2 sets, they still lose, so no position is safe for these guys.

"First he takes your legs. Than he takes your soul....."

I remember when people were using this quote about djokovic dropshotting Nadal at RG 21 like it was all part of the plan, even though basically none of the drop shots were going in. Then when he did it it the following year against a fully healthy Nadal and they weren't going in again, it was back to "WHY IS HE DOING THESE ****ING DROPSHOTS"

 

[Winner]

Evans is the best Brit currently, since Norrie is Finnish.

He should erase drop shots from his repertoire... 9 out of 10 are rubbish nowadays..

Masterclass tennis from Djoko!

You are a great fan. Very positive!

 

[Nostradamus]

just goes to show that pusher can't beat another better pusher

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

You are a great fan. Very positive!

Thank you and same to you!

 

[The Guru]

Novak finally seems to have a read on Cam's serve

 

[Federev]

It’s now turned into that match where Fed played that Brit qualifier in like 2017 or something - some guys who’d given up tennis but then came back.

what was his name? Matthew Wilks or something?

Marcus Willis

 

[Terenigma]

Are we hyping up Nick now like we did with Med last year at AO 2021?

Novak can start the match how he wants. Kyrgios will just be unable to return his serve and serve his way out of trouble in the breakers.

I wish I had your confidence because I don't want Nick to win as it would be insulting to the sport of tennis but I still think Kyrgios is more dangerous than people give him credit. He's the underdog and the Brit crowd love that so he'll get crowd support, journeyman or not he's still got one of the most dangerous serves in the game and when Novak is losing a set 6-2 to Norrie, a minor slip against Kyrgios and suddenly breaking back is a daunting prospect.

 

[Federev]

Look at that little celebration!

You go kiddo!!!

You won a game against daddy!!!!

 

[flyingboris]

Respect for that hold

 

[bluetrain4]

Too much to ask. Expect bakery products.

He got to 2 in the fourth, so no bagels or breadsticks!! I guess a 2 could be a croissant. Lol.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko defence is incredible!

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Novak's last good opponnent was a 38 year old 3 years ago LOL

 

[tudwell]

Norrie is totally overmatched here but I’m happy to see him fighting so hard like in that last game. Feel like he’s really being spurred on by the crowd.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko silencing the guy in crowd in style haha!

 

[Kralingen]

'06 Alex Bogdanovic or '22 Cam Norrie?

 

[Hitman]

Djokovic back to business?

 

[The Guru]

I think we found the worst smash in the top 100 and it's not Novak

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Why do they still have grass? No one is good on it except Djokovic

 

[tudwell]

'06 Alex Bogdanovic or '22 Cam Norrie?

Kokutitas beats them both.

 

[ibbi]

I do love the way he's still running and fighting and caring out here even with no chance. Respect to the guy.

 

[Terenigma]

Kudos to Norrie for keeping this close, he's hit some good shots but I just don't see him breaking back.

 

[bluetrain4]

Cam looser and a bit "IDGAF" right now because the situation is so dire. He needed to do this the entire match. I realize that's easier said than done.

 

[ark_28]

'06 Alex Bogdanovic or '22 Cam Norrie?

Bogdanovic in 5

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Djoker doesn't even care if he holds serve when he knows he can break whenever. Hes sadistic

 

[Hitman]

So, more of a higher level from Norrie in this set

 

[Start da Game]

what's sad to watch is novak actually looks quite flat and norrie doesn't quite have the game to punch him left and right.....

 

[onyxrose81]

Djoker doesn't even care if he holds serve when he knows he can break whenever. Hes sadistic

We’ll, he needs to care and break again so he can be done with this.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

I personally think Djoker has just been using this tournament to stay in playing shape and get in some tense situations because hes played so little this year. While winning the slam of course.

Djokovic in 4 at worst. Kyrgios outside the serve just isn't that dangerous.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing from Djokovic!

 

[Terenigma]

Who was Novak pointing to? He seemed to point higher than where his team was.

Yeah I think this tournament has been a great platform to get his match intensity and fitness back to a top level. It’s been a very beneficial tournament for him. He’s played a lot of long matches and had a few battles a bit like 2018.

Rafa is in the stands.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

British bros we got too cocky...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Novaks been sublime at the net.

 

[jl809]

my prayers have been answered. djokovic is actually playing nicely, he is hitting offensive groundstrokes and doing stuff now, not just pushing

 

[Terenigma]

6-4 it is then

 

[Hitman]

So moment of truth coming up.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Norrie even winning a set should be considered a brilliant feat for him.

When Djokovic finds his form only a select few can beat him.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Novak served a bit of energy there for hopefully last big push.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Those most predictable slam ever since the 2008 French probably. Djoker is so head and shoulders above the rest its ridiculous

 

[RF-18]

Just serve it out man.

 

[onyxrose81]

Please no hiccups Novak. Be done with this mess already.

the hubris of y'all
