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

[Deleted member 771911]

Oh no...commies pulling the fatigue card with Tsitsy, who is 22 and a professional athlete.

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

Predictable break of serve…lol

 

[augustobt]

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

You know that tennis exists for a long time, right?

 

[TripleATeam]

Breaks when he needs to. Serving for set.

 

[D.Nalby12]

As expected break comes. It will take Wawrinka lile fearless performance to take this Djokovic down. Sisipas has got level but not mind of champion.

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic is fully deserving of this. This isn't next gen failing, this is Novak Djokovic bringing the absolute best he can. The best ever.

 

[Cortana]

The most clutch player of all time.

 

[abmk]

Horrible from Tpas.

 

[Third Serve]

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

Well it wasn’t high quality for the couple of return games he failed to win a point but I get you

 

[Stratotanker]

Tough to miss that break point. Patterns are not good for Citybus now. I might have to check out of this one and pop back in to see the scores in an hour or so. Watching Novak win slams makes me dislike tennis. Oof.

 

[Meles Fan.]

serve it out pls

 

[tennis_pro]

Tsitsipas couldn't've played that set any better and he's going to lose it in a few minutes probably. So tough to shrug that off mentally.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Predictable.

Yep. Djokovic simply too good. Not fair on the others

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic is unbeatable. And Titspas is a MUG.
The next 2 sets might be 6-1, 6-0.

Titspas has no backhand and no ROS. He won't win any slam with such deficiencies.

And the way Novak is playing no will beat him this year. Seriously he could win all 4 slams. To me he even looks better than his peak. He just doesn't miss.

 

[junior74]

The most clutch player of all time.

I believe you are not talking about Tsitsipas

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Mental GIANT that Joco

 

[Frenchy-Player]

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Djokovic luckiest player ever. No way he is the goat. What's this pushing game?

 

[weakera]

Let’s see if he can serve it out.

Oh yes, I wonder if he can

 

[Feather]

Definitely looks that way lol

One point made a HUGE difference

 

[Milehigh5280]

There's the first break. Good match so far

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak winning 95 percent of his first serves? WTF

 

[mike danny]

Djokovic is fully deserving of this. This isn't next gen failing, this is Novak Djokovic bringing the absolute best he can. The best ever.

Yawn...It's Tsitsi predictably collapsing after failing to break.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

You simply have to marvel at Novak’s genius. He’s the best ever to play this sport.

 

[SonicNirvana]

Welp. The inevitable has come. The goat race about to be settled.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Tsitsy better work on that RoS in the next off season training block. Maybe bring in someone like Agassi for a bit.

 

[tudwell]

That missed set point got in his head, looks like. If he can recover for the second set, I think he’s still in this. Djokovic has shown some signs of weakness. Tsitsipas is right in there with him, just needs to edge one of the big points.

 

[GabeT]

Novak winning 95 percent of his first serves? WTF

Yeah, an off day for him

 

[chjtennis]

Tsitsipas has been trying to blow Djokovic off the court and used much more energy. He will get tired quickly especially after the long SF.

 

[alinefx]

Djokovic doing 2015 script? To Lose 3 sets now….

 

[Tenacity]

Djokovic luckiest player ever. No way he is the goat. What's this pushing game?

 

[weakera]

Damn Tsitsipas almost blew that gift. Hits right to Djokovic with an open court.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Yawn...It's Tsitsi predictably collapsing after failing to break.

Yawn… it’s Novak hitting line after line like has has done most of his career since hitting his prime. Tsitsipas hasn’t collapsed at all.

 

[Omega_7000]

As expected, game set match Djokovic

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak to choke this?

 

[weakera]

Yawn… it’s Novak hitting line after line like has has done most of his career since hitting his prime. Tsitsipas hasn’t collapsed at all.

Can't it be both?

 

[Terenigma]

Ah yes Dropovic

 

[Deleted member 781523]

Oddly enough Tsitsipas was having more success when he was nervous and leaving his groundies short, since Novak is afraid of coming to net he could not do much with them

 

[romeo8880]

I can’t stress enough how important the first set is for Djokovic

 

[junior74]

Damn Tsitsipas almost blew that gift. Hits right to Djokovic with an open court.

Channeling his inner Fed

 

[Meles Fan.]

yikes…

 

[skip1969]

Novak asking for more time. LOL

 

[TennisFan3]

Let’s see if he can serve it out.

Told you Titspas is a mug. Way to passive on his set point and then as soon as his serve went AWOL, he was done.

 

[Omega_7000]

It's amazing how a 35 year old is so much more physically fitter than a 22 year old

 

[weakera]

I can’t stress enough how important the first set is for Djokovic

Feels a lot more important for the Greek to me.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Triple break back points for Tsitsipas!

This is a surprise.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Yikes choked the set Novak

 

[ewiewp]

Yawn...It's Tsitsi predictably collapsing after failing to break.

that's what often happens with everybody.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

If Nole falters here, Tsitsy has the green light to play very freely.

 

[Tenacity]

Close the set omg..
