2023 US Open Final: Daniil Medvedev vs. Novak Djokovic

[Bubcay]

Alcarez would have beaten this novak today Easy

Sure... LOL

 

[StannisTheMannis]

I cannot believe Carlos died for this

Carlos was buried 6 feet under by Daniil. He got what he deserved in that match.

 

[Midaso240]

This final has sucked, knew it was a possibility when Alcaraz got taken out

 

[McGradey]

Meddy doesn't know what the h. to do when Nole serves with slice wide out in the deuce court.

He has tried change to hitting some of those returns dtl but I think the closest one missed by about 5 feet

 

[Cortana]

I have wanted another USO so badly. Even more than RG.

Really? 3 RG was monumental. 3x more than Federer.

 

[Zodd]

"Putain"

And no warning from the umpire - he had obviously forgot to put in his babel fish

 

[messiahrobins]

Nadal won a free AO last year. Be happy.

not sure what nadal nas to do with this match but while he was playing he was 2 clear in slam race and had the better ĥ2h in the slams. Who was greater of the 2 will always be a debate.

 

[StrongRule]

Is the GOAT debate finally over?

These asterisk era challengers ("slams") don't add anything to Djokovic's legacy. They shouldn't count at all.

 

[fmadej]

Probably last chance that Med will have to do anything

 

[Terenigma]

Is the GOAT debate finally over?

2 slam lead and your closest rival basically retired and is only on 22 because you got banned from competing? Yeah id say its over lol

 

[TheNachoMan]

Still 22-21 in my book. 2023 is an absolutely new level of vulturing. These challengers should not be considered slams.

CRYYYYYYYY

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This final has sucked, knew it was a possibility when Alcaraz got taken out

Many posters here thought they grandpa didn’t have a chance lol.

 

[robert.s]

Djokovic lost more finals at USO than he's won?

 

[Bubcay]

It's not over til it's over, so I would not consider this done yet. Looking good for Novak though at the moment..

It’s over

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Don’t falter now.

 

[Phenomenal]

Nadal skipped like 5 years of his career due to injuries, yet you act like a crybaby.

How he(Nacho) always mentions covid misses which Djokovic somewhat responsible of them is beyond to me. Act like Nadal lucky being close. It's so little compared to how much Nadal missed.
Also Djokovic won 2 of his RG while Nadal was not playing or stopped to play...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sure... LOL

Better match we will never know because Carlos flamed out. That’s on him.

 

[Pheasant]

Wow. Plot thickens.

 

[onyxrose81]

Djokovic lost more finals at USO than he's won?

He’s something like 3-6, 3-7.

 

[mahatma]

Break points on Djokovic serve. A strange set so far

 

[joekapa]

Is the GOAT debate finally over?

It's been over for a while now.

This is just the cherry on top....and the sprinkles.

But let's get it done first....

 

[Midaso240]

Sure... LOL

It wouldn't have been easy, but I see no reason why Carlos playing well (which he didn't in the semi) couldn't beat Novak. It's not like Novak is playing lights out tennis by his standards

 

[dking68]

I knew 2021 was a fluke.

Like all the other 6’6 legends - aka Cilic, Del potro

 

[TheNachoMan]

It’s not over yet, but StrongRule will still cry

 

[Cortana]

Danger time. 4:1 or 3:3 is a huge difference!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak with a rare fart lol

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

What the f ing hell. Why Novak why?

 

[MeatTornado]

Lad in 5 back on

 

[onyxrose81]

Nothing is for certain until the ump calls “GSM”.

 

[N01E]

Terrible game from Novak and we're back on serve.

 

[messiahrobins]

Shocking standard for a final this tbh

 

[FeroBango]

I knew 2021 was a fluke.

He can play one high level match per slam. Two is too much for him I suppose.

 

[InsideOut900]

You had the match in the pocket, just why?

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Perspective...

 

[joekapa]

Med breaks back !

 

[Milanez82]

Medvedev storming back!

 

[Airspun]

Too little.
Too late.

 

[Terenigma]

Ah its that time where Djokovic chokes. He did this against Shelton too.

 

[robert.s]

Djokovic just let the game slip a bit here. Medvedev is a dangerous player to just invite back in the match.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Congrats Novak, you're awesome!

Nighty night from Norway

Don’t go just yet!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Come on Mad Lad.

 

[mahatma]

What a gift from Djokovic

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Putting down $100 on Med to pay $9600

 

[MeatTornado]

Djokovic lost more finals at USO than he's won?

Lost 6: 2007, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2021

Won 3: 2011, 2015, 2018

 

[Sephiroth]

Needed the gift last set, too late now

 

[onyxrose81]

Of course he’s broken because why not give your opponent some more hope. Thanks, Novak.

 

[Airspun]

Djokovic just let the game slip a bit here. Medvedev is a dangerous player to just invite back in the match.

He’s mentally broken

 

[JaxTeller]

Game on..Meddy in 5

 

[StrongRule]

2 slam lead and your closest rival basically retired and is only on 22 because you got banned from competing? Yeah id say its over lol

Of course you forgot to mention Nadal skipping 5 years of his career, and NEVER having the chance to vulture in a year which is as weak as 2023.
