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

[I Am Finnish]

You missed the set 2.

I know

 

[The Guru]

Cmon Novak don't lose to the philosopher. I can live with a loss to Rune but not Stef.

 

[The Fedfather]

The serving from both was great in these couple of games. I actually really like servebotting. A beautiful skill.

 

[Sudacafan]

This has a 7-1 TB collapse from Tsitsipas written all over it lol

Our only hope?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Djokovic won't lose to Rune.

So you took my post seriously.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I know

And set1

 

[Terenigma]

Djokovic won't lose to Rune.

Exactly. He will wait till Rune is a few points from the win and then retire, right?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

@Sudacafan you hate Tsitsipas more than Djokovic ? I am flabbergasted.

 

[Krish0608]

Huge credit to Stef here for such a hugely impressive showing after a deflating 1st set. Showing a lot of steel out there. So proud. Nole will probably edge this in a TB, but Stef can still take heart from this performance.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

So you took my post seriously.

Absolutely.
Swallowed the bait fully.

 

[The Guru]

Whatever the case, I like well rested Rune's chances tomorrow. I definitely like his chances against Tsitsipas.

Stef would get absolutely smacked from the baseline. Holger is starting to make the case for best baseliner in the world.

 

[ultimathule]

Finish the job Stef.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Hell Tstsi you may have won 2 slams this year if he decided to play like this

Don't like Stefanos at all but even I'm feeling proud of how he bounced back.

 

[Sudacafan]

I am faking it. But it’s tough.
Glad it’s working.

I wouldn’t like to call it personally

I'd be surprised if it goes any other way, man.

 

[NoleFam]

Yea I think Rune would beat him badly from the baseline because he's going to absolutely hammer that backhand, something Djokovic didn't do nearly enough to today.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Don't like Stefanos at all but even I'm feeling proud of how he bounced back.

Yes.
He didn't give up.

 

[Sudacafan]

Servebotting on their way to the tiebreak.

 

[Krish0608]

Fair enough. It's been a tight match. But Djokovic is a TB god so he has the edge IMO

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic close to 100% on service points won in total for the 3rd set.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

I am faking it. But it’s tough.
Glad it’s working.

Will you then root for Rune tomorrow?

 

[The Guru]

Cmon Novak no mental muggery

 

[Sudacafan]

Fair enough. It's been a tight match. But Djokovic is a TB god so he has the edge IMO

I am not sure of anything today.

 

[MeatTornado]

Tsitsipas vs Djokovic in a deciding tiebreak feels DOA, but here we go.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

What's Novak's record in deciding TBs anyways?
Must be above 80%

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Tsitsipas vs Djokovic in a deciding tiebreak feels DOA, but here we go.

Department of Airlines?

 

[ultimathule]

All about nerves now

 

[Sudacafan]

Will you then root for Rune tomorrow?

That will be even a tougher fake than this one.

 

[The Guru]

Beautiful exposing of the titty BH

 

[The Fedfather]

Tsitsipas is either about to fly or crash

 

[RS]

Irrelevant Indoor HC tennis.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Yeah just smack the BH of Tsi and put away the short ball.

 

[NoleFam]

I do wanna see Rune vs Djok though. Old vs the new.

 

[The Guru]

Oof Novak shot tolerance a little suspect right now

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Tsitsipas is either about to fly or crash

I'd say more of the later..
Djokovic won't give him anything easily in TBs.
Plus, he can't afford 15-40 alike situation in here.

 

[The Guru]

Stef also clearly the fitter guy at the moment

 

[MeatTornado]

2 huge rally wins to avoid being the first go down a minibreak. Very rare against Djokovic early in a tiebreak.

 

[ewiewp]

novaks not hitting forehand well if stretched wide.

 

[The Fedfather]

Djokovic did him those 2 points though

 

[Sudacafan]

Djokovic has only lost 2 points with his serve in this set so far.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

I do wanna see Rune vs Djok though. Old vs the new.

Djokovic vs a big hitting 2 hander guy, with average serve, poor return and average movement; usually only goes one way.

 

[ronalditop]

What a great math. I hope Nole can pull through.

 

[RS]

I don't want Djokovic to win anymore titles.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Djokovic did him those 2 points though

To my surprise, yeah.
Didn't see it coming.
Still Djokovic is hot favourite for the TB.

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic vs a big hitting 2 hander guy, with average serve, poor return and average movement; usually only goes one way.

Average serve? I'm not sure you've been paying attention. Lol.

 

[The Fedfather]

Lady luck smiled at Stefanos with that lob landing in

 

[Sudacafan]

Djokovic has only lost 2 points with his serve in this set so far.

And that was the third one.

 

[The Guru]

I hate tennis he's gonna lose off that bs despite being the way better player today.
