Can Tsitsipass win on Sunday?

You are confusing desire, confidence and belief with expectation.When the expectation is not there, the pressure isn’t. Watch, he will be loose

well, immense desire to prove himself - see his presser - brings with it pressure, whether you - or he himself- acknowledge it or not.

Look, let's not get into nitpicking semantics here. Bottom line is, saying someone in a GS final (first ever in Citybus's case) feels NO pressure is just wishful thinking.

He has a chance, not saying no. But having a shot doesn't make him the favourite. I just don't think he's ready yet, not against Novak at this stage. But let's see, we'll know in about 12 hours from now anyway. I still maintain Novak in 4 sets as the most likely outcome.

Greece is a more beautiful country than Serbia.

And Tsitispas is more beautiful and talented than Djokovic.

And he also has a cooler name.

All very relevant points.

Against Nadal , he would stand no chance . Rafa would have crushed him badly .

Now he has 50% chance against joker .

शांत रहा आणि नोवाक जोकोविचवर विश्वास ठेवा. 50% ?? तु विनोद करत आहे का?

He has his chances. Will he though? nah lol

Zverev would have better chances.

Zverev has no Forehand inside in, forehand down the line, forehand inside out, forehand cross court and a functioning brain.

He has 10% not 50.

I still expect a Djokovic to beat a Tsitsipas with no pressure. But the Greek can do it if he somehow manages to play high level tennis all the way through. All events possible that’s why we love sport.

Either way it will be great to watch. The best returner in tennis history (by a mile too) versus a hungry young lion whose bounds are yet to be defined. Enjoy the match!

It would also be nice if GenZ finally snatched a major. I know Thiem already broke the curse hanging over the players born after 1990, but his win didn't feel very legit, and he isn't exactly young anymore, although he looks like a pupil next to that fossil triumvirate.

18% chance

18% chance

18%? Is this like an irregular percentage fixed just so it's less than 20 but more than 10?
