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

[Deleted member 771911]

Tsitsipas has to be so strong here. The Nole slam final box of tricks is slowly opening.

 

[TennisFan3]

Hope Tsitsipas hangs tough if he loses this set but could go the way of Medvedev at AO collapsing after a tough one.

Good post. These guys can play for like one set at most. It will be all over soon.

djoker could be in his head on the long rallies, "can I beat this serb from the baseline"

Djokovic has got clear game plan - he ia targetting Sisipas backhand till he gets weak shot. Credit to Sisipas his back hand is holding well against all abuse but without doing any damage off that wing - he can't break Djokovic' patterns.

I can't recall ever seing a set where a player has hit the lines as many times as Novak today.

Even a clown shot out of balance lands bang on the line...

[Aussie Darcy]

Break point Djokovic.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

break point novak.

 

[Meles Fan.]

Come on pls

 

[James P]

BP Djokovic

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Djokovic with BHDTL right in the corner to set up a BP.

I don’t think I’ve seen him play better than this.

 

[Feather]

So unlucky on SP

Should have been more aggressive on set point

Now faces BP

 

[weakera]

Man Djokovic forcing Tsitsipas to go backhand down the line, knows he's afraid to hit it.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Fine margins

 

[Krish0608]

Wawrinka would have made that BH DTL and therein lies the difference

 

[Meles Fan.]

2nd serve!!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Djokovic breaks Tsitsipas after saving set point in the previous game.

He'll serve for the first set up 6-5.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hahahahah! So predictable.

 

[Steffi-forever]

Break Djoko. Come on!!!!!

 

[wang07]

Omg Tsitsipas was playing so well in this set, and then losing it this way... I fear this may be AO 21 final script again, not looking good.

 

[JadeC]

Gets the break!

 

[junior74]

Feck. Of course.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Djokovic too good. Tsitsipas playing amazing tennis but his Bh not strong enough.

 

[mike danny]

Predictable.

 

[James P]

There it is.

 

[onyxrose81]

Ajde! Now please hold to take the set!

 

[weakera]

Omg Tsitsipas was playing so well in this set, and then losing it this way... I fear this may be AO 21 final script again, not looking good.

Definitely looks that way lol

 

[Meles Fan.]

Mwahahah no hold your serve pls

 

[Cortana]

7:5 6:3 6:1

 

[Third Serve]

Man that was predictable lol

 

[Sysyphus]

custodian of the children of tellus got yo' back

 

[Krish0608]

NID

 

[skip1969]

Serve let Stef down in that game.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Well saw that coming. Goddammit Tsits

 

[Terenigma]

There ya have it! The difference between a great player and a world class player. Djokovic to serve for the first set!

 

[ewiewp]

Novak is the greatest I've ever seen.
And only guy who beat Rafa twice at RG.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak has balls of steel. Very steady in this set.

 

[augustobt]

Predictable

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

how this set was 2 minutes ago

how this set looks now

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Djoker ain’t human. From losing set to this unreal

 

[Feather]

Have a feeling Tsitsipas will be broken now .0-15

Like clockwork.. For Tsitsipas to win , he had to win the first set badly..

 

[Meles Fan.]

Lmao djokovic

 

[daphne]

 

[mike danny]

Next Gen for you, folks.

 

[onyxrose81]

Novak still has to serve it out. That...has been difficult this year.

 

[James P]

Toe to toe, highest of quality for 10 games, blows it in the 11th. *sigh*

 

[PrinceMoron]

Hot day and the ump is pressing them for time

 

[Azure]

Oh well. At least it was a competitive set. Tsitsipas tried his best

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Let’s see if he can serve it out.
