If Alcaraz had to face Phone boy in SF 1 and Djoker/ Med was the other SF, how would the results have gone ??

[ND-13]

Disgust

 

[FeroBango]

He'd have won.

But he lost. Let him come back and win the next SF he's in.

More and more GS are defined by the manipulation of draws.
US Open 2023 is a great example.

 

[TheNachoMan]

If, if if..

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

LOL. With those Sabalenka errors he's been hitting since WImbledon? He aint beating Nole even if roles were reversed

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

If if if

 

[BauerAlmeida]

What if in 2021 Medvedev had to play Zverev in the SF instead of Djokovic?

 

[big ted]

what if djokovic had to play 2015 djokovic in the SF instead of shelton?

 

[WeekendTennisHack]

Medvedev would have tired out Djokovic and Alcaraz would likely have taken him out in the final.

 

[Omega_7000]

Medvedev would have tired out Djokovic and Alcaraz would likely have taken him out in the final.

Zverev and Medvedev back to back would have definitely been worse. People forgetting Zverev because he lost but he was in good form too.

Djokovic deserved more fortune with draw after what happened in us open 2021. Djoko also had pretty tough draws in past too.

He deserved a nicer draw for a change. He still had to make it count and he did.

 

[daggerman]

Phone Boy probably beats Alcaraz in 3 tbh

Then he is be doom

 

[onyxrose81]

This forum told Djokovic fans to get over the draw in 2021 so the same applies here.

For a change? Where in the hell have you been these past 6 or 7 years?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

At the us open I meant. Look at his us open draws over the years. He’s nearly always been in the toughest side or quarter. It was nice to have a change.

 

[ppma]

Most likely the final woul'd been Alcaraz - Djokovic. And It'd been amazing.

Definitely, but why was Zverev so tired after one 5-setter? Federer at 36 was playing 3 consecutive 5-setters and won. Could be argued style of play, but other players with similar style to Zverev don't get pooped from just one 5-setter. He was in good form and sure maybe he wouldn't win against Alcaraz regardless, but the guy put up no fight whatsoever.

Alcaraz and Djokovic should always have the toughest gauntlets for the most exciting grand slams possible.

The Djoker-Verse would implode

The 2021 draw was not tough, not at all. The only competition he faced before the final was Zverev and even that match wasn't extremely draining either.

 

[TripleATeam]

What if Ben Shelton was 8 feet tall and had 4 arms, each with a racquet?

Still he will be a phone boy and lose in straights

 

[BeatlesFan]

Cringe.

What do you think of the USTA regarding its "magical" draws?

Slay, bestie!

What do you think of the USTA regarding its "magical" draws?

I dunno, I thought this draw was so lopsided, it couldn't have been rigged. Even riggers are not that stupid, are they?

Then Joco would not have done the phone hangup celebration.

What do diabetes specialists say?
Do you think this is a valid reason for Zverev not to have the same performance in Major tournaments as he does in best-of-three-set tournaments?

Not really, many have claimed slams are easier because of the extra rest day. In M1000s it's day after day.

Same result:

Last year's runner-up was on Djokovic's half

So for you it's just a question of mentality about Zverev's poor results in GS tournaments?
