RG 2021 Final: Novak Djokovic [1] vs Stefanos Tsitsipas [5]

[NoleIsBoat]

No trust in Capovic?

Weakens his power!

 

[tennis_pro]

Tsits looks like the man on a mission.

What's his mission, a straight set loss?

 

[junior74]

Make Djokovic hit an overhead, Steffi!

 

[PrinceMoron]

Did Djokovic only bring one set of clothes?

 

[romeo8880]

First set is extremely important for Djokovic as he is old and tired

Eurosport saying Djokovic is arguably the third best claycouter

Kuerten is the third greatest RG player, merci beaucoup.

 

[rUDin 21]

Novak is just too good. Looks to be in AO 2021 final mode. Straight sets beatdown coming up. Titspas couldn't do anything of the ground at all.

You're forgetting one thing, this is clay.

 

[Deleted member 783101]

Djoker's CC backhand will win him the match.

 

[ForehandCross]

Novak looking amazing.

 

[gn]

What's his mission, a straight set loss?

Nah, to win his first Majors.

 

[augustobt]

Novak isn't even dropping a sweat on serve

 

[GabeT]

Two successive holds to love for Novak

 

[Terenigma]

Djokovic looks far more comfortable so far

 

[Aussie Darcy]

So both players are on a 10 match winning streak and both are looking for their 3rd title this year.

 

[skip1969]

Two love games for Novak.

 

[Krish0608]

Novak has been clinical on his serve

 

[JadeC]

Solid holds from Novak so far. Let's keep that going.

 

[daphne]

 

[James P]

Djokovic is serving 88% early. Hitting those first serves like a boss.

 

[smalahove]

Impressive by Novak

[tennis_pro]

Nah, to win his first Majors.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He’s moving novak around early.

 

[ForehandCross]

Important game coming up, I just feel Djokovic being daunting on his serve has put some doubt in Citybus

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

Djokovic coasting on serve

 

[TripleATeam]

Incredible play.

 

[skip1969]

Sooooooooooooooooo irritating that NBC sneaks in commercials on the even games. Tennis Channel does that **** too.

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

For his first final appearance, Tsits is playing well!

 

[chjtennis]

First set may decide the match.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

i love how Tsitsy is taking this to Nole. No wallflower syndrome for him.

 

[tudwell]

This season, yes.

[yokied]

Aurelie looking ... taut

I don't know. Tsitsy is very young and in superb condition. He can go five no problem.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Shouldn’t have gave up on that ball.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Important for Tsitsipas to have not argued that point and get too heated too early. Accept the ball is out and move on quickly.

He looks good so far on the Google scoreboard I am following.

But it should only be surprising to people who haven't been paying attention that Tsitsipas hasn't collapsed mentally from the outset. Djokovic was always going to need to win this match by being the superior player and not by counting on a choke.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Hopefully a few youngsters will want a 1HBH after today

 

[ACE of Hearts]

All of a sudden it’s 30-30.

 

[James P]

Leaking errors now, no bueno

 

[NatF]

ooofff was clearly in. Guy just wanted the rally over.

Yes. I would love to know what Nole is thinking, but the cap means I cannot see his mind.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tsitsipas with 5 aces already, wow.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Serving very good early. How long will that last?

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic is absolutely incredible right now.

 

[onyxrose81]

I like Stef and I want him to win majors but yeah, please not this one.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Ugh serve bot

Did people really expect a player that recess FO finals to just collapse in the first few games? TTW always exaggerating!

Not surprisingly you are wrong. Didn't even see the point but it's good to establish your presence on the court and not roll over for iffy calls, especially as the newcomer.
