2023 US Open Final: Daniil Medvedev vs. Novak Djokovic

[JJGUY]

Djokovic's team all wearing number 24 is peak cringe, sheesh

the order of 25th ones will be sent out tomorrow.

 

[Mike Sams]

But he used the same return position vs Alcaraz except for Alcaraz it worked for only a set.

That was not a major final. And when the plan isn't working, you don't keep doing it.

 

[Roddickulous1]

Good guy Novak would've tanked if he knew about the anniversary

 

[Fed881981]

Medvedev’s wife looks truly sad.

 

[Nostradamus]

Danielle is like oh mannnnnn "i wish this dude would stop BSing me and take the trophy and get off the stage"

 

[Vincent-C]

The most aggressive and the most mentally fragile of the Big 3, Roger the 40-15 Federer.

A mere blot on the Great Man's (8 WB) career.

 

[Milanez82]

The season should end now.
The indoor swing holds no relevance at all.
It's ONLY about the majors.
Djokovic now dead set to erase Margaret Court in Melbourne.

Djokovic and Alcaraz will fight it out for year end number 1. WTF could be electric.

 

[Federev]

Don’t say Congrats. Just say the word: congratulations! It’s not that hard.

Thnx

I told you man. Novak’s mental strength is insane and i knew that med wasn’t gonna put a good performance out there. Novak well rested.

 

[robert.s]

Damn, this is like a full Oprah interview.

 

[Federev]

holds 3 slams on the year and has to fight Carlos for it.

Lol

 

[Mike Sams]

No no no.

It was clear as day - all night long that Meddy has no tools.

He has “a” tool. Hit it back in baseline rallies.

By and large he stayed away from sharp angles or DTL kill shots - something he could have tried -but his only apparent strategy was to tire Novak out by hitting it back to him.

Novak is no Federer in terms of variation, but he has many more tools than Meddy.

This match was only a question of if Novak was going to be rested and healthy.

He was.

This plan might've worked if Djokovic was coming off an exhausting 5 set war in the semifinals. But Djokovic was fresh as a daisy.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Medvedev’s wife looks truly sad.

Well med has a nice bank account and he still has a us open title lol

 

[Omega_7000]

Nice words from Medvedev about Djokovic. There's mutual respect between the two. Congrats Novak.

I hate it. Next gen players are always so happy to lose finals. No remorse. They're happy to just get to the finals.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Wow, what a feeling it must be to hold up a major trophy you earned...dream for any tennis player

You might be right, but we'll never know. Would have loved to see a Djoko Alcaraz repeat, but Alcaraz made his fair share of bad decisions in the semi!

Beyond that, Medvedev, Zverev and Sinner were on Alcaraz's side, the best players of the moment, while Djokovic's rival on his side was worth it?

 

[Roddickulous1]

Medvedev’s wife looks truly sad.

She's upset TTW posters called him MUGveDUD

 

[Beandip]

I think the Kobe tribute was awesome.

 

[messiahrobins]

Why?

He is 20. Winning wimbledon was a huge deal there was bound to be a let down. Neeeds to shore up that forehand

 

[Mr.Lob]

Medvedev gave it all on that 2nd, if he got that... nobody knows...

Up 5-4 in tiebreaker? Djokovic looking fatigued. Would have been rough.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

holds 3 slams on the year and has to fight Carlos for it.

Lol

The rankings system is a joke. When someone wins 3 slams in a year there’s no question whose number 1.

 

[Mike Sams]

I told you man. Novak’s mental strength is insane and i knew that med wasn’t gonna put a good performance out there. Novak well rested.

I'm very disappointed in what I saw from Medvedev today. It's not at all what I had expected from him.
But I'm a good sport.
Djokovic is the greatest of all time.

 

[Milanez82]

holds 3 slams on the year and has to fight Carlos for it.

Lol

Rankings absurdity
A slam final too

 

[Mike Sams]

The rankings system is a joke. When someone wins 3 slams in a year there’s no question whose number 1.

That means you see no relevance in the Masters 1000 titles then.

 

[Federev]

100%

It should literally be automatic.

 

[Federev]

That means you see no relevance in the Masters 1000 titles then.

Well… they’re not nothing ….

But they don’t compare to 5 set matches with that draw.

 

[DSH]

Medvedev’s wife looks truly sad.

She didn't like Djokovic's false words of gratitude towards her.

 

[D_m_a]

next year they will not allow him to play AO and US slams.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if the reptiles have some sort of plan in action to ban him ...

 

[TripleATeam]

Put Medvedev as Djokovic's opponent in the semifinals and you would realize that the champion would be different.

Damn... and here I thought 2013's US Open wasn't due to the semifinals.

 

[Mike Sams]

In less than 100 years, everyone on this forum along with all the current tennis players will all be dead.
So in the grand scheme of things, nothing really matters.

 

[joekapa]

The Kobe shirt? Really dude?

They were friends you know ?

 

[SonicNirvana]

No no no.

It was clear as day - all night long that Meddy has no tools.

He has “a” tool. Hit it back in baseline rallies.

By and large he stayed away from sharp angles or DTL kill shots - something he could have tried -but his only apparent strategy was to tire Novak out by hitting it back to him.

Novak is no Federer in terms of variation, but he has many more tools than Meddy.

This match was only a question of if Novak was going to be rested and healthy.

He was.

I didn’t word that the best. I meant that he was right there to at least win a set hah

 

[DSH]

Damn... and here I thought 2013's US Open wasn't due to the semifinals.

Nadal does not have the same problem against Wawrinka as Djokovic did before the Swiss player dropped in level.

 

[SonicNirvana]

In less than 100 years, everyone on this forum along with all the current tennis players will all be dead.
So in the grand scheme of things, nothing really matters.

Nope. They’ll be talking about Djokovic like they do Court on this forum. It’s sad really but that’s life

 

[Mr.Lob]

Matthew McConaughey in Novaks team's box pushed Djokovic to victory today. Thanks bro.

 

[legcramp]

That means you see no relevance in the Masters 1000 titles then.

Even Sinner won a Masters 1000 this year, nuff said.

 

[Mike Sams]

Medvedev needs to be pushed out of his hotel window. Maybe that will knock some sense into him and he'll finally hire a real coach.

 

[DSH]

In less than 100 years, everyone on this forum along with all the current tennis players will all be dead.

Truer words than the philosophers of the Romantic Period would applaud you.

 

[Nostradamus]

Daniell,, you are not good,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thank you for wasting my time for 4 hours.... i want my money back for my time......... that will be $100,000 ,, send me via paypal

 

[NYTennisfan]

I can’t wrap my head around how he’s actually further away from the field now than he ever has been.

Some of us have been trying to say that he's not declining at all. Yes the field isn't as strong as it was and he had a fortunate draw and was fortunate to not draw Alcaraz who certainly would have presented more problems than Medvedev but he's still near peak form and doesn't show any signs whatsoever of slowing down. It's getting beyond remarkable at this point, what he's doing at this age is unprecedented not only in tennis but in all of sports.

 

[Tennfan123]

What happens to all that 24 costume stuff if he lost? Lol.
Anyway, second set was good fun.
Shame Meddy was so tactically inept.

 

[flyingboris]

Thank you for wasting my time for 4 hours

Could have been worse, could have wasted at least two more hours!!

 

[Mike Sams]

Nope. They’ll be talking about Djokovic like they do Court on this forum. It’s sad really but that’s life

But notice who is talking about Court. All the old timers only. And they'll all be dead soon too. So her name will vanquish.

 

[Milanez82]

That 2nd set was really critical, 3 key instances
3-4 break point and Djokovic plays an insane serve volley winner
5-6 bp and set point, Djokovic again with S&V, Medvedev has open shot down the line but goes cross court with Djokovic there to volley for the winner
Tie break 4-5 Djokovic after losing exhausting 4-4 point, goes all in on CC beckhand forcing an error out of Medvedev.

Who knows what happens if Medvedev won the 2nd set, especially after Djokovic fumbled a Wimbledon final being a set up and having a set point.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

A mere blot on the Great Man's (8 WB) career.

Ah , only because WB 2020 was canceled , he could got another plate for his restaurant in the Alps.

 

[James P]

Matthew McConaughey in Novaks team's box pushed Djokovic to victory today. Thanks bro.

All right, all right, all right!

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

But notice who is talking about Court. All the old timers only. And they'll all be dead soon too. So her name will vanquish.

You out of meds?

 

[Mike Sams]

This final showed me one thing. Djokovic has trouble when going through back to back exhausting matches. The joke of a draw was crucial for him to win this title.
Put some real competition on his side of the draw and he was going to have all sorts of difficulty to find the reserves to win.
It should've been Zverev, Medvedev, and Alcaraz in his path to the title.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

a great moment for the king, congrats,also now he has four 3-slam seasons wonderful,..sweet revanche for that match and those tears two years ago, and just like back then, tonight the loser of the match won twelve games

 

[JJGUY]

Shame Meddy was so tactically inept.

It already happened 3 months ago in Wimbledon, they just had to wait for a few months before wearing them.
