Is there anything Djokovic does better than Medvedev currently

[Russeljones]

Quite extraordinary this thread. Is this a faux Djokovic fan?

Mostly bad timing. In a few hours it will be time to say that currently Med does just about everything better, now, if he dominates. If, on the other hand, he goes down in 3 or 4 sets this will look very silly.

Time outs for sure ... Medvedev ain't that good in time outs

[Hitman]

It won't take Med 5 sets to finish off this version of Djokovic methinks. 3 or 4 max.

Well you are right about one thing....3

 

[PeoplesChamp]

Everything

AO

OP should be banned after making a thread this bad.

 

[GabeT]

He actually wins slams

 

[D.Nalby12]

Backfired

 

[Fabresque]

This is one of the worst threads I’ve ever seen in my life Medvedev gets clobbered in the final but I’m supposed to believe he’s better than Djokovic in every single part of the game. Delete this thread and save yourself the embarrassment.

 

[CYGS]

Med won 81% of his first serves in the tournament while Djokovic won 77%. Med wins more points on second serve. No way Djokovic's serve is better.

Med's BH/FH are also more consistent and more solid than Nole's right now, especially the backhand.

Yes Med is the new king... oh wait.

 

[ibbi]

He wins the Australian Open better than Medvedev.

 

[Milanez82]

Time to reevaluate

 

[Checkmate]

knowing how to win points, sets and matches.

 

[OhYes]

Well seems like everyone agrees that Med is the much better player right now and Djokovic has nothing on him. Good luck to Djokovic tomorrow. He's gonna need it.

Guess he had bit of luck

 

[UnforcedTerror]

I mean I wasn't wrong with anything. Medvedev has been the better player for the last 4 months by far. He's been a level above Djokovic in every aspect of the game but that final was about nerves and Novak was able to show the world what he's really made of, so many congratulations to him and his team. He's unbelievable.

I don't mind Djokovic win. I'm a fan of him and happy for him and always thought he's the tennis BOAT but I wanted Med to win since Novak's already won so much, moreover, I put my money on Med.

Anyways,

Currently nothing, tomorrow everything.

This was it. Well done and congrats again.

Gonna need an update on this one

[Villain]

I mean, in the OP’s defense, Djokovic is basically a scrub journeyman with scrub journeyman strokes. I can see how he might have been duped.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

OP deserves to be banned for this.

 

[ND-13]

TTW never learns

They wrote off Rafa in the RG 2020 final

They repeated the same for the AO 2021

Don’t back Next to next to next gen until they actually beat the big 3 to win a major

 

[smalahove]

Serve, return, FH, BH, net play.

I acknowledge you're enthusiastic on the back of a solid victory. Congrats!
That being said, looking at the stats of today's game, the one metric that defined the match is second serve win rate.

Novak 58% vs Med 32%(!)

This highlights the quality of Novak's return, and based the importance of the second serve on the outcome of any match, his grip on winning matches in modern tennis

Novak Djokovic vs Daniil Medvedev - MS701 | Australian Open

 

[itrium84]

Djokovic bounces the ball very well before he serves. A lot of precision and consistency with the continuous bounce. That’s the only thing I can think of.

Oh and the boob throw salute of course, Djokovic has the edge with that too.

Hehehehehe

 

[Mainad]

He definitely does Slam finals better.

 

[tennisjedi]

This thread aged worse than soy milk.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

When was the last time a poster got WRECKED this badly lol?

Honestly if 8 out of every 10 threads weren't deleted on here you'd have someone with epic amounts of egg on their face daily on TTW. A lot of people get saved by the deletions.

Tons of horrible hot takes about the Next Gen over the last two weeks have gone into the ether. Luckily for them lol.

 

[Tennisfan339]

This thread is too funny!!

 

[Beckerserve]

Medvedev has a better serve no doubt and maybe now a better BH. Movement is better and fitness is.
Everything else Djokovic has but i suspect if and when the meet again Medvedev wins .

LOL, you just don't give up, do you? Novak broke Med in 50%(!) of Med's service games.

Still take Meddys serve. One bad day does not change things.

A serve that only works outside of key finals is not much of a serve

Medvedev with the better BH. Jesus.

Medvedev will get better. Would be foolish to write him off. His threat career wise is Tsitsipas i feel though.

 

[Beckerserve]

As of today it is. Probably.

 

[Nadal_Django]

As of today it is. Probably.

And as of yesterday? You're saying this after Djokovic's BH totally outclassing Medvedev's BH in the yesterday final!? Are you for real!?

 

[Beckerserve]

Over past 5 months Medvedev BH has been better. One bad day doesnt change it.
If they played tomorrow at AO i would back Meddy in 4 sets.

 

[zvelf]

Djokovic has won 6 of the last 10 majors. Medvedev's time will come and he is probably underrated here now due to 1 match, but he does not have the better backhand.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

I don't even think he needs to get better. His level is more than enough to win slams but unfortunately for him he had a bad day at the office against the AO king. Just unlucky. He'll be back and get many chances to win all those HC slams in the upcoming years.

Shame as i wanted Nadal to get a 5th USO but i think Medvedev will win it. He will be 3rd time lucky.
He is outstanding i think.

That's only because you're stubborn, and even more stubborn when you're flat-out wrong.

 

[daphne]

20/20; Medvedev
13/16; Djokovic

Medvedev takes this one as well.

Time for you to be silent

 

[daphne]

I fully understand why people are swayed to favour Djokovic. History looms heavy, but I really believe in the mad lad in current form! 60-40 in Daniil's favour for me.
