[phl92]

Musetti incoming?

 

[kishnabe]

How long before Djokovic breaks something.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Serious bragging rights for Tsitsy now in Next Gen and older friends Get togethers

 

[Wilhelm]

Djokovic upping the pressure.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Terrible shot from Novak after the rally. Tsitsipas saves a 4th break point!

 

[Cantconvert2MP]

Novak Terrible balance..

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Tsitsipas with the d in that one. Slices galore

 

[PrinceMoron]

Fat fisted heavy handed leaden footed

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nothing is going right for novak.

 

[fundrazer]

First point where Stef looks sluggish though. Smething to keep an eye on.

 

[Terenigma]

Centimeters away from the break. So close lol

 

[Third Serve]

That was a very bad shot for Novak. A shame because the rally was so good.

 

[James P]

Djokovic worked Tsitsipas over in his 4th break point chance, then blew it with an error.

 

[ForehandCross]

CITYBUS HANGING BY A THREAD.

 

[Cortana]

I believe this Tsitsipas would have beaten Nadal.

 

[tudwell]

Insane. What a match.

 

[kishnabe]

What defence, what a easy miss.

 

[gjm127]

Tsitsipas defending like 2011Djokovic and now Djokovic is making errors

 

[Deleted member 771911]

This is mental. Nole does not have the game to win today. He has to get inside Tsits' head.

 

[Standaa]

seriously Djokovic?

 

[abmk]

Tpas giving djoko a taste of his own medicine there. brilliant defense and its back to deuce.

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Tsitsipas holds here Joker gonna fall apart

 

[Terenigma]

For a guy 2 sets up, never has a single hold of serve felt so important.

 

[phl92]

Gosh Djoko looks like a total psych madman after missing this shot... he could kill with these eyes

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Yup this has straight sets written all over it.

 

[Tennisgods]

Djoko turning this into more of a physical battle.

 

[GhostofPetros]

Stefanos' forehand slice is wicked good.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

RG not even keeping the scoreboard probably.

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Joker leaving it all for this moment. This game decides the set

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

I believe this Tsitsipas would have beaten Nadal.

Nadal would already be lifting the trophy

 

[Wilhelm]

The third time now that the score is wrong on the tv overlay.

 

[Feather]

Tsitsipas has to hold serve now

 

[AceSalvo]

Massive stuff from Stef. This guy just keeps his cool big time.

 

[Gumbo Jackson]

Great game. Clutch saves by Tsitsipas to keep it going. Deuce #6.

 

[ewiewp]

Novak overtrained in this clay season. he tried his best to beat Rafa.

 

[Tennisgods]

Gosh Djoko looks like a total psych madman after missing this shot... he could kill with these eyes

ballpersons beware

 

[Standaa]

teach him nole

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This game feels like the most important game of this entire RG.... wow.

 

[ForehandCross]

Djokovic is a Titan have to give him that

 

[James P]

5th BP

 

[ACE of Hearts]

For a guy 2 sets up, never has a single hold of serve felt so important.

Novak has to still dig deep to win this
match.

 

[GabeT]

Well, no one is giving up on this game

 

[abmk]

Tpas just not getting free points on serve

 

[Sentinel]

What? I am on the Tapas train!!

Sadly, having Italian food tonight. Will pretend the olive oil and olives are Greek.

Forzaaaaa!

 

[Indigo]

Tsitsipas doing Stanimal here.

 

[Krish0608]

BP again

 

[junior74]

Gruntovic is in da house....

Employing a little "spice"

 

[Third Serve]

Poor couple of slices and we’re back to BPs. This game feels strangely crucial though Stef is two sets up. Testament to Novak more than anything I suppose.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Djokovic finally converts BP on his 5th time to go up 3-1, serving for 4-1 and making a match out of this.

 

[Tennisgods]

Even if Tsitsipas loses this service game, he needs to just keep going - Djokovic is only winning this if T’s level drops.
