[5] Stefanos Tsitsipas vs [7] Novak Djokovic - ATP Masters 1000 Paris SF

[Rafa4LifeEver]

It wasn't a tennis lady and she wasn't blonde. I just started missing Roger a bit, so wanted to have his pic as my avi again.

Oops.
I somehow remembered as Sharapova or Kournikova lol.

 

[The Fedfather]

Nole's level sure has taken a dump since the 1st set

29 Slams left on the table

 

[Kralingen]

Djoker is honestly playing quite crapola, he looks like he’s on a mental walk about. No intensity.

 

[RF-18]

What rattles Novak is Tsitsis fast paced shots. He takes the FH very early. Djoko is struggling with time out there.

 

[Krish0608]

Can you imagine how much more comfortable Tsitsipas could play if he had a BH

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

You're lying.

Definitely not

 

[NoleFam]

Expect Djokovic to hammer his backhand in this set. He let him play way too many forehands in that last set.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Can you imagine how much more comfortable Tsitsipas could play if he had a ROS

FTFY

 

[Krish0608]

Danger time for Stefanos.

 

[Sudacafan]

Nole's level sure has taken a dump since the 1st set

Did he take a toilet break?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

How did Djokovic miss that DTL BH?
The court was wide open.

 

[norcal]

I've seen you unwarrantedly bashing me with false accusations & name calling for the 3rd or so time this week.
@TW Staff please take necessary action, this type of cyber bullying and harassment is not good.

lol if they took action against the two fan bases there would only be 0 threads in GPPD.

Which would be a BIG improvement over now.

 

[The Fedfather]

Damn, Tsitsipa disappointed at the start of the game but this is a really nice recovery

 

[MeatTornado]

4 straight points from double BP. Not bad.

Its not about fanbases, gentleman. Its about personal attacks and accusations over me.

 

[Rosstour]

This has turned into a really good match. Can TPas deliver on that crazy athleticism? Guy is really so strong and fast.

Greek God to save tennis today? I kinda want him to get this win, as much as I want to see if Rune's laser works on Djok

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko pushed for the break there but credit to tsitsipas for holding him off.

 

[Kralingen]

I think Tsitsipas is the live favorite

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

What was that challenge lol.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djoko pushed for the break there but credit to tsitsipas for holding him off.

He's a pusher afterall

 

[Poisoned Slice]

7 looks weird beside Joe.

 

[The Fedfather]

Oooh, what a pretty curve on that shot

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

What was that challenge lol.

Tsitsi-shanked, but he thought that Djoko-shanked.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

9 aces from Novak and 7 from Tsitsipas.

 

[ewiewp]

when djokovic is being pressured.....

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

when djokovic is being pressured.....

His serve rescues him.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

15-30.
Nole may break.

 

[The_Order]

Djoko pushed for the break there but credit to tsitsipas for holding him off.

With all of Stafnos' shanks?

Djok really didn't do much at all..

 

[MeatTornado]

That was a crazy aggressive 2nd serve down the T after missing wildly on the 1st.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Great point construction

 

[The Fedfather]

How is he producing these points under pressure but keeps messing up to put himself in danger? Lol

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

First serve rescuing both guys

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

How is he producing these points under pressure but keeps messing up to put himself in danger? Lol

He wakes up only when in Pit.

 

[Rosstour]

This is starting to look like Fed-Agassi 2005 USO Final, lulz

What a masterpiece that game was.

 

[Kralingen]

Honestly credit to Tsits who is coming up with some ballsy aggressive tennis here on crunch time points. Saved both 40-15 and 30-15 with some huge serves and FHs. Whether or not you like him, you love to see a player going for it.

 

[ultimathule]

Anyone's match.

The ballstriking is nowhere near that.

He’s been very impressive. His mentality has impressed me the most. He’s stood up to the challenge well. Djoko outclassed him first set but since then he’s turned the tables well.

 

[The Fedfather]

Take a shot every time Tsitsipas' BH slice puts him at a disadvantage in a rally

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Anyone's match.

True but for how long can Tsitsipas keep coming up with goodies when down?

I like him

I am glad to see a fight

When your slice floats around for too long, is too high, too short, its bound to happen, especially against a player like Djokovic who can have the ball on a piece of string and shape-redirect it anywhere he wants.

 

[Rosstour]

The ballstriking is nowhere near that.

Of course

No one will ever hit the ball quite as satisfyingly as Fed

But I just mean the vibe. He's making Djok look a bit old!

 

[Legend of Borg]

Why do most one-handers suck so much from that side?

It honestly feels like you're disadvantaging yourself and painting a huge target on your backhand corner.

Returning is also much worse compared to two handers.

Agassi was a cleaner and better ballstriker than Federer tbh.

Not for all

True but kudos to Djoker at this age after all these miles. He is still incredibly fit.

Agassi is the cleanest dual-winged ballstriker who ever did play or ever will play the game

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I like him

Me as well, Azziu. I thought it'd be over in a blink of an eye after set1.

 

[The Fedfather]

Is Djokovic okay? He's looking a bit dazed
