beautiful volley by Korda

edit: I didn't even see @Aabye5 's post until now

 

[Fabrivitx]

This is going to dramatic tie-break

 

[Hitman]

A roar from Musetti. Moose is still on the loose!

It must be fun for you, your favorite getting help from one of your other favorites to get into Turin. LOL

 

[Aabye5]

This is going to dramatic tie-break

Moose with a foothold in this game. Can he break?

 

[Hitman]

BP Moose!

 

[Aabye5]

It must be fun for you, you favorite getting help from one of your other favorites to get into Turin. LOL

If that's the way it goes down, I will be ecstatic

 

[Hitman]

If that's the way it goes down, I will be ecstatic

He just got broken....Ouch!

 

[Aabye5]

What a shot DTL on the return. Moose to serve for the match.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Can't believe Moose breaks at 5-5

He was basically outclassed for the past set and a half

 

[Fabrivitx]

Now watch how the italian eunuch get the break serving for the match

 

[Aabye5]

Now watch how the italian eunuch get the break serving for the match

He's serving this out now.

 

[Rosstour]

Musetti is tougher than people think.

 

[Hitman]

Musetti has played this week like his life has depended on it.

So much for those saying that no one cares post USO.

 

[Fabrivitx]

Hahaha what a clown

 

[Fabrivitx]

He's serving this out now.

LoL u see

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Moose now close to victory. Fends of match points and then breaks. Fair play!

 

[Fabrivitx]

Musetti has played this week like his life has depended on it.

So much for those saying that no one cares post USO.

Hes italian and playing in turin a city 1 hour from hes hometown in Italy, clearly he wants to be there

 

[Hitman]

BP...

 

[Aabye5]

Musetti is tougher than people think.

Let's not get carried away now...

 

[Fabrivitx]

Hahahah

 

[Hitman]

Musetti wins!

The final is going to be Off The Chain tomorrow. Both have been playing well this week. Moose needs this one bad.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Musetti wins! Djokovic-musetti final. Tasty clash. I think djoko can win this one though if he continues to serve well.

 

[DSH]

It would be better for competition purposes if FAA makes the final. He has a game suited better for fast indoor hard courts and Musetti will be gassed if he wins this tournament.

Come on Novak Djokovic, defeat the one-handed backhand player so FAA can enter the ATP Finals 2025 draw.

 

[Fabrivitx]

I dont know how this higly emotional italian can beat the goat mentality tomorrow

 

[Aabye5]

Moose is through to the final. Will Nole be on my side for once?

 

[Hitman]

Musetti wins! Djokovic-musetti final. Tasty clash. I think djoko can win this one though if he continues to serve well.

Its going to be a shot making spectacle in the final. And the final we all deserve.

 

[Fabrivitx]

Musetti wins! Djokovic-musetti final. Tasty clash. I think djoko can win this one though if he continues to serve well.

He wanted to lose but korda is korda

 

[Hitman]

Haha, finally you are cheering for Djokovic.

 

[Rosstour]

Let's not get carried away now...

Anything to say now?

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Surprised Musetti held his nerve

Welp, congrats to Djoko on 101

 

[Aabye5]

Anything to say now?

I said he would serve it out. He also gave Korda a break chance, too. Like I said, let's not get carried away.

 

[Fabrivitx]

I suggest to Sinner this Musetti hair cut not that senile over 60 old thing hes doing

 

[Hitman]

I'm still sticking to the notion that both FAA and Musetti will play Turin, I expect Djokovic to pull out after playing Athens final, even if he wins.

 

[Rosstour]

I said he would serve it out. He also gave Korda a break chance, too. Like I said, let's not get carried away.

lol I only said he’s tougher than ppl think.

Which he then proved by saving MP with an ace, then keeping his foot on the gas to hold there and then break. You know, like an actually mentally tough player does.

@Hitman this is the match we both wanted. Stakes couldn’t be bigger for Muscletti

u think he has some chance tomorrow

 

[Rosstour]

If he wins, he pulls out

If he loses the Final of his own tournament to Mewzetti, he will enter the WTF out of pure spite and revenge

I seriously cannot wait for this one. There will be fireworks, both players are hungry.

 

[Rosstour]

I agree. It’s not a Slam or even a 500 but there is a lot on the line for Lorenzo and he will be fired up

 

[Hitman]

Maybe.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Then can come to an agreement then! Haha

 

[NYTennisfan]

I don't remember the last time a 250 final had so much on the line. Musetti to clinch an ATP Finals and Djokovic for 101 and because it's Novak Djokovic in a 250 tournament. Should be interesting

 

[Hitman]

I agree. It’s not a Slam or even a 500 but there is a lot on the line for Lorenzo and he will be fired up

I have to say, I have been very impressed with Lorenzo this week. Sometimes because of his quality tennis, and sometimes because of his mental strength and sheer will to win.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Musetti playing well and has a chance. That said indoor HC suits Djokovic much more. Djoko is old but these are probably his best conditions to still play his best tennis even as an ageing declined legend. It should be a cracker though.

 

[mehdimike]

Haha, finally you are cheering for Djokovic.

So if Novak loses tommorrow and then withdraws from the YEC then FAA replaces him?! I think every player would rather face Musseti than FAA indoor

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I agree. It’s not a Slam or even a 500 but there is a lot on the line for Lorenzo and he will be fired up

There is a lot on the line for both. Djokovic desperately wants 101, break the tie for HC titles with Fed, prove to himself and everyone why he shouldn’t retire yet and his new home event.

Musetti needs a title to get confidence and get his game and career back on track. A chance for an indoor HC title for him too.

If he was mentally tough, he probably would have won it in 2. That said, gutting it out in 3 is not a bad way to win either.

 

[Hitman]

So if Novak loses tommorrow and then withdraws from the YEC then FAA replaces him?! I think every player would rather face Musseti than FAA indoor

If Novak loses tomorrow, Musetti is into YEC. Novak would then need to withdraw for FAA to take his spot.

If Novak wins tomorrow, FAA is into YEC. Novak would then need to withdraw for Musetti to take his spot.

There is a lot on the line, and this isn't even the YEC. Athens got its dream final with very high stakes.

I guess it's the other way around. I feel like if he loses it is almost certainly after a grueling match in way that he wouldn't be able to recover fast to play in 2 days.
