Just forget it: Tomorrow we will all expect Danill Medvedev to win but he will either play awful or Djokovic will be playing better than ever

[Atennisone]

Why the heck would Djokovic lose in AO.
He has played 8 finals there, won them all
In 2019 Shapovalov took a set of Djokovic, and Djokovic looked vulnerable, and do you remember what happended in that final?

There is a freaking reason Djokovic has won 18 slams, and Medvedev hadn't reached a QF in AO before this.

Djokovic will win, probably in 3 sets.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Well... yeah.

Djoker is likely to play insanely high level of tennis and easily win.

 

[Lleytonstation]

We live in an era where just talking about the young guys having a chance is everything.

Djokovic won't even win two games.

 

[Phoenix1983]

True that, OP.

 

[StrongRule]

They met 7 times before, and Djokovic never had an easy win over Medvedev. Easiest one was a 6-4 6-4 win in Eastbourne 2017, and that was long before Medvedev's prime. It shouldn't be a blowout unless Medvedev a terrible match while Djokovic plays a great one. I don't think Medvedev will win this, but let's not act like he doesn't have the skills to win. Now, 2019 Nadal really never had a chance.

Likely to withdraw.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Wait, who exactly expects that?

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Likely to withdraw.

If Med wins I will admit to Pancho being TIGER.

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Dani needs to call an MTO when he's 2 sets to love down, then retire when Djoke is about to serve for the match. I can't remember the exact details of how this should be done, but I know Wawrinka knows.

Nah. Pancho is just a meme tbh. You need to do better.

Don't worry, Djoker will get 18 tonight. You going to be on TTW for the wild ride?

[Legend of Borg]

has there ever been anything close to this kind of longevity in the history of the sport?

did any fans in older eras also have to wait for ATGs to retire before anyone stood a chance?

I prefer to join the match threads a bit later when Djokovic is playing the important matches. I'll be there eventually.

Yes, wait till he is winning, less stressful.

Nah. She wasn't acting. Djokovic simply fecked up that day.

 

[Jokervich]

Why do people expect Medvedev to win? Was it also the people who didn't think Nadal would win RG last year?

 

[Deleted member 775898]

People never learn from their mistakes.

 

[Bartelby]

Tthe people who expected Nadal to win against Tsitsipas went home in tears too.

Rafa always loses at AO. Djoker is 8 for 8 in finals. Not the same.

She learned the art from watching the master himself.

Btw, weren't you a feminist? Shouldn't you condemn this masculine assault? Or do I mistake you for someone else?

 

[Lleytonstation]

She whispered into djokers ear, "how is this for a possum act."

 

[SinneGOAT]

Exactly. In fact I was unsurprised first the most part. I was expecting him to lose SF or F but still Nada losing in the AO since 2009 is as guaranteed as death and taxes.

Not surprised he lost, just the way he lost.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

I'll rate them out of 10.

Djokovic's performance in the Wimb 2013 final 9.5/10
That woman's performance at the USO 2020 9/10
All other Djokovic's performances are probably 8/10

Therefore, she never really peaked higher than him.

Bart's just a troll that attended that one sociology class.

17.

Depends on how you look at it

He has won 18. The match is just a formality.

 

[onehandbh]

Djokovic has improved his serve to the point that now it is one of the best. his net game, overhead and forehand have also improved over the years.

Basically, he has no weaknesses now. I think the next 3-4 years will be a window where he might get a calendar year grand slam or at least win a lot of grand slams.

No, lol.

[onehandbh]

What other top player has improved their game this much mid-career?

Federer improved his volleys and backhand but he was already pretty old.

 

[Lleytonstation]

No, lol.

You might as well start thinking of 19 now at WC.

 

[tennishabit]

easy...................all med needs to do is to get joker choak, either himself or a ball boy/girl by hitting a ball striaght to his/her throat reasonably hard lolololololol.....................

 

[zipplock]

Med in 4. Djoker takes a set.

 

[Bartelby]

Djoker is a better player than the Grateful Med, but whether that's true at the moment is a toss-up.

 

[Beckerserve]

Medvedev is on this amazing run. That said Djokovic is a better player so its all to do with Djokovic i think

 

[tennishabit]

might be the other way around:?)) med needs a joker choaker to win dis.............lololololololol...........

 

[tennishabit]

any1 here bet on med n what's the odd:?)).......................

 

[zipplock]

might be the other way around:?)) med needs a joker choaker to win dis.............lololololololol...........

But how will an injured Djoker going to manage? He cannot even practice, just physio and everything is day to day. That makes no sense. Unless ...........

 

[GabeT]

May all your predictions come true!

 

[Bartelby]

The injury clearly happened after a slip, but it has proved less of a problem than first suspected ... that's all.

 

[Gazelle]

What other top player has improved their game this much mid-career?

Federer improved his volleys and backhand but he was already pretty old.

Improve? His attacking game has become non existent. Smash and volleys still average.

Just his defence hasn't declined as much as expected, great enough to floor NextGen mugs.

 

[Clay lover]

Djoko will grab his shoulder, his abs and then his knees and proceed to win in 5.
