2023 Wimbledon SF: Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner

[bluetrain4]

Will Novak EVER lose another slam match? He looks impenetrable in Best of 5 matches. He gets stronger every year.

When he's 43.

 

[BeatlesFan]

15 TB's in a row for Novak at slams. Wow-- that is Sampras-like!

 

[tudwell]

Sinner squandered set points with wildly overly aggressive swings and then loses the tiebreak on the back of three timid misses. A genuinely awful mental performance from him. The tools were there to bother Novak but he did everything in his power not to take advantage.

[Third Serve]

Very frustrating match for Sinner. Some big steps back from last year’s encounter with Djokovic.

 

[Sarzy]

I'll tell you, the best thing about this match was that Andrew Castle wasn't commentating on it.

That means we probably get him next...

He is the absolute worst!

 

[Jonas78]

Congrats to Djoker for yet another final! Too bad Sinner didnt take it to 4, but Djoker had this anyway! Now Alcaraz needs to get the job done!

 

[GabeT]

Greatest Wimbledon champ!

 

[optic yellow]

Sad predictable outcome, Sinner is so close to that level but Chris Fowler had it right, always not there at the high leverage moments.

 

[tennis_pro]

Never hype up Sinner ever again, embarrassing hopeless mug.

if I ever see another thread hyping Sinner I'm reporting it

and I will finish the op

 

[Hamnavoe]

9 point difference over the match but a straight set win. Nano-efficiency from the Serbian.

 

[mike danny]

Carlos is the test..lol

But seriously. Carlos will be much tougher.

I somehow doubt it. Carlitos will be lucky to win a set.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Such a tough opponent for a slam semifinal.

My prediction was right again. But others will still not learn anything, and keep hyping these mugs.

They are running out of players to hype.

 

[tex123]

Oh my god.

Never EVER EVER hype this error machine mental midget again. EVER.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

LMFAO. Next.

 

[Mediterranean Might]

Sinner yet again is so bad on pressure points. Lacking the killer instinct that Carlos and Rune have

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

At least Rublev got completely outplayed in the end so I don't blame him , this dude just made stupid UEs during every important points, like what Shapovalov did in his SF a few years ago.

 

[Tennfan123]

Sinner is so basic

 

[Kralingen]

Sinner had 3-1 and then 2 FH errors, 1 BH error and 1 DF later only wins 1 point.

#MentalStrength

Literally felt sick watching each of those find the net

 

[Winners or Errors]

 

[robert.s]

Djokovic is too good for Sinner. Mediocre serve and too many unforced to have a hope of beating Djokovic.

 

[DogInSpace]

Congrats to Nole fam for enduring this huge stress that is Sinner in the Semi Finals. Hope the worst is behind you now.

 

[davced1]

So two set points, mini break up in tie-break then three UE in a row to hand Djokovic the match. That’s Sinner in a nutshell.

 

[Berasategui94]

Of course, the narrative of Nole fans will be that Sinner (like Hurkacz) would've won against any other player.

Sinner would’ve lost to Eubanks.

 

[Benf15harp]

Sinner joining that other turd(rune) in Cancun.

 

[DSH]

Djokovic becomes the second tennis player with the most finals in Wimbledon history with 9.
The Serbian player has just surpassed William Renshaw and Arthur Gore.
Congratulations to his fans.

 

[Carax]

Solid tennis by Djokovic. It's hard to see him losing in the final. I predict his record will be extended by one more slam on Sunday.

 

[flyingboris]

Congrats to Djoko. Good fight by Sinner, but man, how often did he make UEs at critical points from a basically neutral position? On many it seemed like he wasn't even being stretched, and yet he'd dump it three inches below the net cord. Amazing.

 

[RF-18]

Djokovic now most GS finals male or female with 35. Surpasses Chris Evert.

 

[NatF]

Sinner just isn't very good, relatively speaking lol.

 

[mike danny]

@dking68, Sinner didn't surprise any of us this time. He did worse than last year in his breakthrough tournament.

 

[ibbi]

The score will make you believe it was close but it wasn’t. What a pathetic performance from sinner.

I mean, it literally was close. 1 break in set 1, 1 break in 2 set, and Sinner with chances to break back in both of them. Had a minibreak in the third given back with a double fault. The match was literally defined by a handful of points.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

LOL - I can see this gif being used A LOT

The new GOAT GIF lol

 

[optic yellow]

LOL - I can see this gif being used A LOT

Is he taunting the umpire after the hindrance penalty?

 

[fundrazer]

15 TB's in a row for Novak at slams. Wow-- that is Sampras-like!

Don't think Sampras won his breakers waiting for guys to miss.

 

[The_Order]

Djokovic to all the weak era threads being spammed around here:

Yep glorify him making a clown of himself...

Fed fans used to say the same thing about weak era... now they know...

 

[Benf15harp]

Sinner would’ve lost to Eubanks.

Lol. Sad. Funny. And true.

 

[L4S10s]

Federer Sampras 01 vibes alright

 

[Ray Mercer]

Sinner is a bum. None of these guys are capable of playing any kind of special tennis. Djokovic just keeps the ball in play and these guys all implode. I mean a geriatric Federer had match points against a better version of Djokovic 4 years ago and these young guns can’t even take a set. It’s ****ing pitiful.

 

[jl809]

I vastly preferred Rublev’s effort even with the pathetic responses to 2nd serves on BPs. How anyone could root for this loser, good grief

 

[forehand-slice]

Has anybody missed more relatively easy forehands on crucial points than Sinner in this match? There might have been 15+. Amazing. Carlos is gonna win 4 CYGS's at this rate.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

The sinner hype train should die down on this board.

 

[Soundmouse]

Sinner.. Novak on to beat the mugs till he decide it's enough, he's gonna give them ptsd at this rate.

 

[RS]

Well possibly in 2 days time this forum will have the biggest meltdown ever

 

[TheNachoMan]

Yep glorify him making a clown of himself...

Fed fans used to say the same thing about weak era... now they know...

He’s directing those tears towards you, mate.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tiebreakovic is too powerfull

 

[MeatTornado]

Carlos is the test..lol

But seriously. Carlos will be much tougher.

Until he cramps and can't even last 3 sets

 

[legcramp]

Such a tough opponent for a slam semifinal.

My prediction was right again. But others will still not learn anything, and keep hyping these mugs.

Predict someone else besides Novak, we KNOW Novak is the best and the favorite to win everything. Why don't you predict the USO winner now?

You're not special because you think Novak is gonna win... lol

 

[-NN-]

Djokovic now most GS finals male or female with 35.

can he make it to 69

 

[WeekendTennisHack]

15 year difference in generations and they're still getting straight setted. LOL, Doesn't get more pathetic than that.
