NEVER pick against a Big 3 in a Slam Final: Tsitsipas is NOT going to Win

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

These guys should not be losing to the Old 3 period at this point. They’re 12-15 years younger. Nadal Is terrible these days. Can’t even hold serve. Fed is terrible. Novak is closest to his prime but nowhere near his prime realistically when you compare level to level.

 

[TennisFan3]

Novak fans should ignore this sensationalism. This is not the Roddick era where a champion's victory in a final over a contender is guaranteed.

It's WORSE than the Roddick era.

Fed's competition >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Current Next gen MUGS.

They are MUGS. That is why they lose. Pathetic doesn't even big to describe it.

 

[TennisFan3]

Just a reminder - the match is only 6 hours away. NEVER bet against a big 3 in a slam final.

"Tsitsipas is NOT going to Win"

No sh-t, that's the safest prediction ever.

Why are Feds opponents not bolded?

Weak era opponents I guess.

 

[James P]

I think most people "hyping" Tsitsipas are ****ing around. I jokingly put Tsitsipas winning in 3, 18 games in the league play. It's a joke, though. Either salty antis or people taking the ****.

@TennisFan3 and @StrongRule always make this type of thread.

 

[BGod]

Wawrinka?

• Thiem in AO 2020 Final : Should have WON. But CRUMBLED with the pressure vs Novak.
• Medvedev AO 2021 Final: Oddsmaker favorite. Even betting favorite. Did NOT even get a set vs Novak. Embarrassing display.
• Mevedev UsOpen 2019 Final: Crumbled against Nadal.
• Kevin Anderson vs Nadal UsOpen 2017 Final
• Kevin Anderson vs Djokovic Wimb 2018 Final
• Marin Cillic vs Federer at AO Final
• Marin Cillic vs Federer at Wimbledon

Okay, let's run this down:

Cilic injured
Cilic terrible H2H
Anderson huge underdog
Anderson huge underdog
Medvedev huge underdog, still goes 5
Oddsmakers and betting favourite? Proof please from multiple sources.
Thiem was a solid underdog, it was his first non French Slam he made past QF.

Time to update your signature

What is that?

 

[Eren]

Weak era opponents I guess.

Yeah, probably. Kevin Anderson who couldn't even walk in the Wimbledon final 2018 was probably super strong. Thiem and especially Medvedev are of the super stronk era.

The 40-15 still haunts me is trolling. Don't know about the others.

You shouldn't take these polls too serious. I voted for Tsit in 4 in another thread because of lolz. Most probable result is Djokovic in 3 or 4.

 

[mike danny]

I WANT Tsitsipas to WIN, not sure it WILL happen, but STILL, I want to BELIEVE

Believing in Next Gen is a fool's errand.

Troll the troll!

 

[Sunny014]

Stefanos will definetly take a set from Novak.

 

[Eren]

Troll the troll!

Yeah, but my lolz prediction might come true. Still think Djoko takes it in five though.

 

[Aabye5]

That is exactly what I'm saying: Never.
He's lost to Novak last 5 times. Rivalry is 5-2 for Novak.

Medvedev came into AO 2021 having beaten Novak 3 times and did not even win a set.

That's like saying James Blake would have beaten Rafa in the final of RG. AO is a very different surface, and there's a reason Novak's the best there. Novak on clay is great, but it's not the same as Novak at AO.

 

[Nostradamus]

We hype up the Big 3 opposition in Slams. But EVERY SINGLE time we are proven to be WRONG. Big 3 ALWAYS prevail.
Below are some examples:

• Thiem in AO 2020 Final : Should have WON. But CRUMBLED with the pressure vs Novak.
• Medvedev AO 2021 Final: Oddsmaker favorite. Even betting favorite. Did NOT even get a set vs Novak. Embarrassing display.
• Mevedev UsOpen 2019 Final: Crumbled against Nadal.
• Kevin Anderson vs Nadal UsOpen 2017 Final
• Kevin Anderson vs Djokovic Wimb 2018 Final
• Marin Cillic vs Federer at AO Final
• Marin Cillic vs Federer at Wimbledon

I will NEVER bet against a Big 3 in a slam FINAL. In this case, Novak has NEVER been beaten by a Next Gen in a Slam final. Hell, even if he played 11 hours in the SF - he would still be the favorite.

Against this Stefanos' track record:

• Tsitsipas has NEVER made a slam Final
• He is 5-7 in the ATP finals that he has played. Which is BAD record even for a next Gen.
• Played 5 sets in the SF so physically and mentally exhausted.
• Not known to be a mentally strong player.

So PLEASE STOP hyping up Stefanos. Novak is the HEAVY favorite. Tsitsipas would be lucky to even make a competitive match. Except something similar to AO 2021 Final.

Big 3 is now boring , we need some new exciting players or Tennis will die

Tennis is ALREADY dead. As predicted, Novak has another slam title soon.

 

[Sunny014]

At least Djokovic has brought things this far by beating Rafa and Stefanos has taken 2 sets in the final, so this is a start.

Tennis will change in an year or 2, you will have new winners in every slam.

 

[Sunny014]

Greatness of Roger Federer is so much that we expected him to retire like 8-9 years ago like his prev gens but he went on and has played on ..... Now he will retire at that point when his fellow Big 3 are also finished along with him, at least Nadal is.

But Novak somehow is not finished yet, so he will go on, the show isn't over, that is what will make Novak the GOAT if he crosses Fed's mark and sets a new record with some margin in slams.

 

[TennisFan3]

As expected NEVER bet against a big 3 in a slam FINAL.

Well done Novak Djokovic!

:cough: Competitive much ? But you were right about betting against them

19!

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Here we go again.

 

[chjtennis]

I don't think many people believe Djokovic won't win.

 

[Krish0608]

Thank God you at least didn’t call him Titspas in the post header

 

[Sudacafan]

NEVER pick against a Big 3 in a Slam Final: Tsitsipas is NOT going to Win

Thanks for the advice for AO23. I was about to do something stupid.

 

[Tennfan123]

Seen similar threads. Not sure why OP started a new one.

 

[Julius Caesar]

Correct. Result will be something like 64 63 64
