[BernetExpress]

An old goat is still a goat
And a mug is still a….

 

[N01E]

Djokovic won, Rybakina won, Norrie lost... What a great day for tennis!

 

[Winners or Errors]

Good on you, Djokovic. You took on a guy who has been very much your pigeon and demonstrated you could out-will him to the finish line. Man, that was some determination...

 

[Hitman]

Rips the shirt, Champion!!!!!!

 

[Carax]

Djokovic defying the odds once again. What a player.

 

[NoleFam]

My stream froze and I missed the last game. Great final though and the one the tournament deserved. Commiseratations to Musetti because he gave it everything but congrat to Djokovic!! Wins 101 and has the sole record for most hardcourt titles!!!!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

101!!! Never count the a man out! Legend! He breaks tie with Feds HC titles!

 

[RF-18]

Look at the passion!!

 

[tudwell]

Djokovic wins his 101th title

Most HC titles - standalone!!!

Oldest winner of ATP title since 1977.

He’s coming for Connors!

 

[Hitman]

Did Djokovic just tell Musetti he is not playing in Turin?

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

I’m sorry I’m still not over that pathetic FH slice shot into the net by Musetti on BP.

How was the hatewatch?

Long overdue. Djokovic now standalone in HC titles won.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Lessgoooo Noleee!!

 

[Kralingen]

How was the hatewatch?

I enjoyed it tbf, good drama. I don’t hate Novak at all btw

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic won, Rybakina won, Norrie lost... What a great day for tennis!

Rybakina won? Wow. I guess she's back. I will have to watch the replay later.

 

[roysid]

Did Djokovic just tell Musetti he is not playing in Turin?

I am imagining that

 

[Kralingen]

Djokovic won, Rybakina won, Norrie lost... What a great day for tennis!

Most importantly, Norrie lost

 

[Hitman]

Where's the twitter lady posting Forza here?

 

[EddieChang]

Serves it out at love!

It’s very disappointing that some Eggbots thought Egg would lose to this mug. Have a little faith in Eldervic or turn in your Eggbot card.

On to Turin for a beatdown by Carrot!

can you ever get close to top 10 in the world in whatever you do can I call you a mug

 

[roysid]

Rybakina won? Wow. I guess she's back. I will have to watch the replay later.

She played the last week before finals. Museti can take inspiration from that.

 

[Hitman]

Rybakina won? Wow. I guess she's back. I will have to watch the replay later.

Yeah, I watching it later today also. I needed to focus fully on this one.

You count him out all the time, your username does not follow up.

 

[NoleFam]

I watched her match yesterday against Pegula. Her ballstriking was awesome.

 

[NoleFam]

Yeah, I watching it later today also. I needed to focus fully on this one.

Yea and I'm actually out and about and had to watch Djokovic on my phone. Couldn't keep up with other scores.

 

[Terenigma]

Man, Djokovic is just so awesome!

The shirt ripper strikes again !!!

Off The Chain

Congratulations on another title for your idol.
Incidentally, he helped FAA become the eighth qualifier for this season's ATP Finals.

 

[DSH]

Musetti isnt clutch lol

It is very likely that he will never be able to win a Grand Slam tournament.

I feel sad about Lore, but we should all appreciate Nole's red raging fire against the dying of the light. Witnessing it makes me feel strangely emotional...

 

[DSH]

101!!! Never count the a man out! Legend! He breaks tie with Feds HC titles!

It had been almost two years since his last title on hard court, but he finally achieved it.
He is already the player with the most titles on this surface.

 

[prairiegirl]

Sad for Musetti. Could care less about Djokovic. His antics are annoying and immature.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Djokovic being respectful and words of encouragement to Musetti.

 

[DSH]

Did Djokovic just tell Musetti he is not playing in Turin?

Mi dispiace Lorenzo, ma quello che suonerà a Torino sarà il gatto Felix.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

Cheer up, Sinner will probably win the WTF .

 

[Hitman]

Haha, I think he is pulling out and letting LM play also.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

You count him out all the time, your username does not follow up.

No you do that wanting him to retire or only supporting him when it suits. I said this match was not over even when musetti was better early on.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

I wonder if Djokovic has any gas left to play in Turin? He played a near 3 hour slugfest with a player who always gives him some sort of trouble.

 

[Drighiz]

Damn there's really no end to this man

The stunning thrill. He will always have that, more than anyone else. Whether it is during Slam sweeps of the past, or the last stands like these. You will be fully hooked.

The decider was up there with the longest sets he had in his entire career. No better way to call it a year after a match like that. He's already in Greece so might as well chill.

Congrats stunning GOAT. And cheers to all fellow Warriors.

No he should withdraw. This is perfect he gets another title and now protect that old body! Let musetti play it. He deserves it after this great week and year too.

Doesn't Djokovic want to play against the Italian sinner again?

 

[tx10is]

joker doesn't want to get crushed by Carlito or Sinner unless it's for a GS so the right move is to let musetti go

 

[Hitman]

Doesn't Djokovic want to play against the Italian sinner again?

Next year.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Doesn't Djokovic want to play against the Italian sinner again?

No thanks

 

[Hitman]

No thanks

We got what we wanted. Djokovic can chill now.

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Man, Lore sure threw that away.

Nah Man, not again. When will he of the gorgeous game, Musetti, cross the threshold in these encounters? Dude's only 23, so can hopefully achieve more wins, but for now, he'll have to accept the runners up spot again.

Turning to the man of the moment in Athens, what more can be said about Novak. Adding to his tally, he pokes those calling for his retirement in the eye - relishes doing so. Longevity at the highest level another nuance of his remarkable career.
