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

[Beulah Jesus]

Tsitsipas beat Djokovic? I'll believe it when i see it.

 

[Kralingen]

Like I said Tsitsi is the live favorite

Djoker hasn’t been in a dogfight like this in awhile and he’s losing intensity. Looks tired. Remember, Astana and Tel Aviv were all in straight sets

 

[Azure]

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.

Not exploiting what the 1hbh can do. Tsitsi is limited. His slices are mediocre, haven’t seen down the line yet, zero to no disguise…

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Is Djokovic okay? He's looking a bit dazed

That's aging, my friend. He can't maintain the sky high level of set1 consistently.

 

[Sudacafan]

So what‘s it gonna be?

 

[NoleFam]

Tsistipas can win this. Djokovic has not upped his level enough in this set like I expected him too. Just letting Tsistipas off the hook way too much when he has him in trouble.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Djoker has been going through the motions since the 1st set. Once he sinks his teeth into the Tstsi Service game to end it then we'll see him go Alpha

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas beat Djokovic? I'll believe it when i see it.

He could today. He’s played very well. Djoko serving 2nd means more pressure as well. Djoko can‘t be rule out even though he’s not anymore at the heights of set 1 and tsitsipas much better than start of match.

 

[Azure]

So what‘s it gonna be?

Heart Tsitsi head Djoko. I like my organs all equally.

 

[NoleFam]

Like I said Tsitsi is the live favorite

Djoker hasn’t been in a dogfight like this in awhile and he’s losing intensity. Looks tired. Remember, Astana and Tel Aviv were all in straight sets

Lol. He's not tired.

Crowd behind Stefanos

Not exploiting what the 1hbh can do. Tsitsi is limited. His slices are mediocre, haven’t seen down the line yet, zero to no disguise…

Crowd is cheering for Tsitsipas, can you believe it?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsistipas can win this. Djokovic has not upped his level enough in this set like I expected him too. Just letting Tsistipas off the hook way too much when he has him in trouble.

Yeah I have a feeling he might as well. He’s subdued Djokovic quite well today. Fair play to him.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

So what‘s it gonna be?

The mini all day fry, please. No mushrooms.

 

[ultimathule]

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

Service game at love.

 

[The Fedfather]

That's aging, my friend. He can't maintain the sky high level of set1 consistently.

No, but the camera zoomed in on him a couple times and he looked like he was feeling sick.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Lol. He's not tired.

Def not tired.

 

[NoleFam]

Crowd is cheering for Tsitsipas, can you believe it?

Maybe because he keeps asking for the extra support...lol

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

No, but the camera zoomed in on him a couple times and he looked like he was feeling sick.

He does it from time to time, that's just how his body language and facial expressions work at times.

 

[NoleFam]

Yeah I have a feeling he might as well. He’s subdued Djokovic quite well today. Fair play to him.

Yea Djokovic's level has fallen off from that blistering level in the 1st set.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Maybe because he keeps asking for the extra support...lol

When Medvedev asks for it, he gets more booing.

 

[Azure]

Crowd is cheering for Tsitsipas, can you believe it?

Yesss

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Djoker is so confident in his service games. Hes gotten so good there. Theres where Nadal faultured. He needed to develop that "easy hold" service game like Nole did as he aged

 

[MeatTornado]

I can't decide if this is going to be 6-4 Tsitsipas or 7-6 Djokovic

 

[TennisFan3]

Novak doesn't care about mickey mouse tournaments. If this were a slam , titspas doesn't even win a set.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic probably breaks here.
He's upped the ante off the forehand in last game

 

[NoleFam]

When Medvedev asks for it, he gets more booing.

 

[Kralingen]

Djok is hitting 45% first serves since the opening set lol

Tsits needs to capitalize here he won't see a better chance of beating Djoker

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Amazing defence to offence transition from Tsitsipas.

 

[The Fedfather]

Why not hit to an open court?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

What a pass from Novak!!!
Just wow

 

[Sudacafan]

Will it be now?

 

[MeatTornado]

Getting sloppy now

 

[Sudacafan]

Will it be now?

Uh?

 

[The Fedfather]

Can Tsitsipas hold with nerves of steel again?

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

You can run but you can't hide from the Nole service breaks. LOL. Hes like a Return of Serve tumor that keeps growing

 

[NoleFam]

Another opening. Will Djokovic let him off the hook again? I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Beulah Jesus]

Novak doesn't care about mickey mouse tournaments. If this were a slam , titspas doesn't even win a set.

Ok..

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Why not hit to an open court?

 

[Kralingen]

Tsitsipas does well to save the first.

Djoker probably ends the match here if he takes it...

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Another opening. Will Djokovic let him off the hook again? I wouldn't be surprised.

He probably breaks in style I guess

 

[Kralingen]

Djoker completely chokes the FH... into the net, I thought for sure he had the break there

 

[Terenigma]

If Tsitsipas gets out of this game then I will be impressed.

 

[Sudacafan]

When I decide to root for Nole, he loses the BPs

 

[MeatTornado]

Rare Novak loss during lockdown mode

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Tsitsipas does well to save the first.

Djoker probably ends the match here if he takes it...

What a tight point man.

 

[Legend of Borg]

I find it very telling that the younger players supposedly in the peak of their powers need to literally wait until father Time withers the big 3 to husks in order to start being competitive and taking it to them.

Even in this match, the younger player is on the cusp of losing at any moment.

I just think it's bordering on the delusional that some people think there's another big 3-esque player around the corner who's gonna go 30+ slams in the coming decade.

 

[NoleFam]

He probably breaks in style I guess

Nope. Back to deuce. Too conservative from Djokovic, and not pulling the trigger again.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

When I decide to root for Nole, he loses the BPs

Taking a page out of Federer's book.

 

[Sudacafan]

If Tsitsipas gets out of this game then I will be impressed.

And I will be depressed.
