Australian Open QF: Novak Djokovic vs. Taylor Fritz

[TennisBro]

Fritz is back! Somehow clutch Novak is not in town today

deserving but with the help of net on the last point of the game

 

[socallefty]

My crystal ball tells me there is one more break in this set.

Which direction?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Triple break points for Novak. Lol.

 

[Deleted member 758560]

6-3 more like

 

[Arak]

Which direction?

It doesn’t say lol

 

[Krish872007]

more BPs coming

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double fault lol.

Novak gets the break once more and he’ll serve for a spot in the SF.

 

[Move]

Oh noooo... This is it. GSM Novak

 

[Terenigma]

Well, That was Fritz's last stand, Fully expect Novak to see it out here

 

[Arak]

My crystal ball was right.

 

[socallefty]

Double fault lol.

Novak gets the break once more and he’ll serve for a spot in the SF.

Pity, not too many DFs from Fritz today in spite of the blizzard of BPs against him.

 

[junior74]

Much of it is mental as well. Djokovic is just as tired but he knows his boundaries and that he can push himself.

0-30 now though.

Agreed. But Fritz is not playing well at all. He is totally collapsing.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He breaks!

 

[Move]

what a second serve, Goran shouting something at Nole

I just woke Up and see this match IS still going, what happened with the scheadule? This match was supposed to start at 4 in the morning in my local time and now its 10.30 am

 

[Deleted member 758560]

their another ao match with 3-2 score btw lasted less than this one

 

[junior74]

If Novak's covid doesn't flare up like in set 2, I think the 25 jacket should be ironed

There was a women's match which took ... some time

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Djokovic gets it done in 4 sets, he’s back in the Aus Open SF’s.

 

[Krish872007]

It got massively delayed because the Gauff match went 3 sets. And the opening set here was incredibly long

 

[Tshooter]

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Grand slam semi #48 for Djokovic.

Knocks out Fritz
7-6 4-6 6-2 6-3.

3 hours and 48 minutes.

 

[jm1980]

GSM Djokovic

Not too terrible, all things considered

 

[Arak]

Well that was very entertaining

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic does it! He’s made the showtime semis!

 

[Gary Duane]

If Djokovic can't totally dominate then he gets the edge so many times in tiebreaks.

 

[Krish872007]

Fritz played way better than everyone was expecting to be fair

Novak moves on into SF / F territory again at the AO. That 20-0 record should help him sleep well

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic gets it done in 4 sets, he’s back in the Aus Open SF’s.

Which has only meant one thing in the last 17 years

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kyrgios about to come out for the on court interview guys.

 

[Terenigma]

That was probably one of the better performances from Fritz and he's still so far behind Novak it's unreal. The GOAT too strong!

 

[Arak]

Fritz did very well to be honest. Good fight.

 

[TheSlicer]

Djokovic acumulating many more hours in court than sinner, lets see how he does against rublev

 

[pirhaksar]

Djokovic does it! He’s made the showtime semis!

Did Fritz fall apart in sets 2 and 3 or did Djokovic increase his level? the first 2 sets had some great clutch play from Fritz looks like

 

[RF-18]

Kyrgios about to come out for the on court interview guys.

Lol

 

[Bubcay]

Well done Novak.

 

[mahatma]

The big show is in semis again!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Punishing having to watch Kyrgios do this on court interview.

So fake between these two. Remember when Kyrgios used to target and troll Novak constantly on social media? Yeah. Funny. Besties now apparently.

 

[socallefty]

Novak is not winning because of weak competition. Great play from Fritz with more than 60 winners.

 

[Tshooter]

87 - 2 after winning the first set at AO.

 

[junior74]

Oh, no. Bruh interview...

 

[FeroBango]

Lol awkward to see Kyrgios there standing without the mic.

 

[TheSlicer]

Novak is not winning because of weak competition. Great play from Fritz with more than 60 winners.

Definetly, he got the Game figured out and his body doesnt let him down, never been a Djokovic fan but the last thing i want is him retiring

I would honestly love it if Djokovic was just straight up like "Yeah we're not friends, I don't know why you cling to me and act like we are besties all the time" because Kyrgios is just cringe-central.

 

[Fabresque]

Fritz played good. Djokovic just upped his game after the first two sets. Not uncommon.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This faux bromance is cringe. Kyrgios used to attack Djokovic constantly. During Covid during everything. Said he was desperate to be loved and would never be popular like Federer. Now they’re besties.

 

[Krish872007]

nah I dont think djoker holds grudges like that. nick actually said nike words even before the wimbledon final iirc

 

[FeroBango]

Holy mother of cringe

 

[pirhaksar]

Djokovic tendency has always been to be nice to those who are nice to him..be that real or pretense. He is not going to diss Nick who was the only one who publicly supported him during the Covid drama

 

[Fabresque]

Novak is meme central, lmfao. Wholesome interview. Cheers Nick
