2020 US Open SF was a pretty epic win, but I take your point it wasn’t a showcase on the same scale as a SF against Djokovic.
There was nothing epic about any part of the 2020 US Covid Open. It was an entirely ridiculous event without fans. :rolleyes:

I looked it up and that 2020 USOSF win Zod had against the bag thrower might not be the achievement i claimed it was given PCB’s record in Bo5 deciders. :-D

PCB Bo5 record: 7/14

Wins:
d ShapovalovGOAT
d Rao
d Uchiyama
d Polansky
d Tipsarevic…. (Not legit as this was against 2016 Ancientsarevic
d Griekspoor
d Vanni

That’s it lol…
 
Only way Zverev wins this match is if Djokovic suddenly gets the Corolla Virus goes to the Toyota factory instead of the tennis court.
 
Miles mclachlan on uk commentary, acting like djokovic always got injured in past
But also downplays it saying all players at latter stages are carrying something.

(like what covid?)
 
bold prediction :

What you saw against Carlos was a result of Alkeey boi wanting to blow Novak off the court and he did not have a second strategy. Had he gone for constant baseline pressure, and cut down angles, than boom bap bang Djokovic would have made more errors.


Zverev can play more smartly than Carlos. He should be able to outplay Djokovic.

Now I said outplay and not beat. Winning matches in last stages of a GS is a different ask for Z.

He probably can't win from 6-0, 6-0, 5-0 40-0 up.
 
Coincidence,, Karma,, Destiny ?? just as Sasha was walking out of lockerroom,, Boris face was popping out on the Big screen in front of him,,,, ,, this means Zeverev to win just like his countryman did ?

I sense fedal fans are pissing pants with prospect of 25 despite sinner still being in draw
Why can't you just be happy for your player? Why do you have to be snarky towards Federer and Nadal fans? It's incredibly sad.

Also as a Fedal fan, no, not worried. In fact i'm cheering for Novak in this match.
 
I know it's probably enticing to try and outlast a 37 year old, but if you're in for a bad time if you just trade neutral groundstrokes all day with Novak Djokovic.

That doesn’t make sense.

Alcaraz wasn’t aggressive against Djokovic in the QF at all.

It was the opposite. Alcaraz was forced to be overly reactive and not as creative / aggressive as he normally is because Djokovic shortened the points and was going hyper-aggressive himself.
