Oh, Sinner. A DF to end it. Not how he would like to end his season.
Congrats to Novak!
Depends who gets there firstDo you sense it coming from yourself or?
What a dud ending to an otherwise great tournament.My reaction to Charlie and Jannik in the knockout rounds:
Wish he had this dip yesterday with Carlos. FDjokovic looking a little rattled but Sinner not capitalizing
No worries, it doesn't really bother me lol. But there's always someone who's ahead of me when I watch a match, I'd like to be the one ahead of everyone else just once.sorry
Fitting end, SFinals muchmuch betterOn a DF it ends
6-3 6-3
Disappointing ending for Sinner, but 7th ATP finals for Novak!
Too good this Djokovic
Admit it....Novak is
The Earth's Mightiest Warrior
Djokovic will peak at 37 starting next season.Nole breaking the new gen spirit at eoy again, to start 2024 in force
its not about him, any (not spanish) player this century who beat a spaniard in semifinal is now 7-0 in finalsWhat 2 finals did he lose here?
This kid got a long way to go before a major
Admit it....Novak is
The Earth's Mightiest Warrior
So another Fed records gone.7 Paris titles, 7 YEC titles
Brilliant prediction, fellow poster.I couldn't have less faith in Sinner right now.
Fully expect him to get broken early and never sniff a lead in the match.
Well at least the butthurt Rafans are butthurting like crazy... there's always a silver lining!
That, and 300 bucks to go drink away my sorrows
Feel bad that Sinner played so horribly and couldn't even make a match of it when he had his chances - which he did.
But congratulations to the one true goat of tennis. The highlander lives on.
So another Fed records gone.
Fed has got 20 - 6 - 310. But Djokovic took it another level making it 24 - 7 - 400. Nobody will going to beat these all round stats.
I can’t explain why that happens. It fascinates me. I mean the guy has been there done that so many times now, is arguably stronger mentally and punches back when his back against the wall..so why can’t he maintain the focus to the finish line? I don’t get the jitters at all by someone like him. I have very rarely seen Pete nervy once he gets his nose ahead…seems to be happening more these days with Djokovic .. that Wimby final was telling in set 2..Djokovic was sublime for a set and a half, and then got really nervy. Sinner really didn't take to him then when he had his chance and a terrible service game from him to end it. #7 for Djokovic to cap off another insane year for him. Another record broken for Djokovic today and 2023 is up there with his best seasons.
@Krish0608 great minds!I had the same thought; Sinner wins the one that ‘doesn’t matter’, and then we get the same old movie in the big game.
Probably because he's thinking about breaking the record here and he was so close, plus the crowd cheering his missed serves got into his head. We know how much he hates that. So then he starting getting nervous, hitting slower 2nd serves than we saw all match and his level dropped.I can’t explain why that happens. It fascinates me.

I wasn't there today, mercifully. Both sessions Thursday then some sightseeing Friday. I've always been opposed to paying a ton for one match, but it was definitely a cool setup, I must say. And my son had a blast (he even tried pickleball at the fan village!).Hope you had a blast this week in Turin.
Tempted nglDo you sense it coming from yourself or?
Seems like all the youngsters sinse Dimitrov missed that part lol.Novak has build his game battling against prime Fedal. YOUNGSTERS SHOULD NEVER FORGET THIS. BECOME LIKE FEDAL OR GET DESTROYED. SIMPLE AS THAT.
They are light years away, honestly.Youngsters need to match Fedal standard of Tennis in order to stop Djokovic. Very high bar. Can't blame them.
