[malbaker86]

I can't watch the match, but how seriously are they taking it?

Very serious

 

[nolefam_2024]

We are at altitude. Over 2000 feet.

 

[RF-18]

Only goats of goats can do these sort of things.

 

[Hitman]

I can't watch the match, but how seriously are they taking it?

They are very serious.

 

[Bastion]

Really, a TB bagel against the nr. 1?

 

[nolefam_2024]

This is danger time.
Hold serve and take pain killer man

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

I can't watch the match, but how seriously are they taking it?

Semi- serious .

 

[NoleFam]

This is the downside of getting older. The niggles and injuries get more common.

 

[Bastion]

I can't watch the match, but how seriously are they taking it?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Hold here. This is fast surface.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Thank you s&v and this surface

 

[Palindrome]

Sinner breaks!

 

[RF-18]

Some lucky line hitting here

 

[Bastion]

Just too much pressure from Sinner, Novak cannot hold. Must break back immediately or the set and game is going to run away.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Some lucky line hitting here

Lucky ?

Djokovic is 37 dude he is doing it for 15+ years

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner broken 2 times today.

Good for AO.

I would love to have nole winning it beating jannik

 

[Daniel Andrade]

We are at altitude. Over 2000 feet.

Where is the match?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Where is the match?

Riyadh Saudi Arabia

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Riyadh Saudi Arabia

2000 meters? Really, I thought it was a desert

 

[RF-18]

Lucky ?

Djokovic is 37 dude he is doing it for 15+ years

Sinner has had som 1 millimiter on the line shots this match.

 

[nolefam_2024]

2000 meters? Really, I thought it was a desert

2000 ft

 

[Daniel Andrade]

2000 ft

Ah ok, where I come from that's crazy low

 

[Succession]

Sinner broken 2 times today.

Good for AO.

I would love to have nole winning it beating jannik

That would be epic

 

[Bastion]

So much better match than yesterday's matches.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Ah ok, where I come from that's crazy low

Yes but in tennis terms it's super high. Madrid is 2000 feet

 

[Hitman]

What a shot! - I don't care what anyone says, Djokovic's will power is the greatest that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot.

 

[Succession]

What a shot! - I don't care what anyone says, Djokovic's will power is the greatest that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot.

100% agree

 

[nolefam_2024]

What a shot! - I don't care what anyone says, Djokovic's will power is the greatest that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot.

Yes

But sinner is new Djokovic. Bigger stronger and more aggressive

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic is treating this as batting practice, and he can still hang with these dudes. This will probably help him in their next real match.

 

[Bastion]

Playing great tennis because he loves the game itself. Has nothing left to prove, but just like hitting the ball with all these good young players.

 

[nolefam_2024]

End the year here.

Get fit and win ao.

Does this one count for the h2h?

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Impressive - a bagel tie break.

Yah man. Good stuff from Novak to put that 1st set behind him, keep up with Jannik and then dominating the tb to win it to zero.
Then to break back to go 1-1 and holding well for 2-1.
Very impressive. I think Jannik will win, but it is a proper contest. Good stuff.

What a shot! - I don't care what anyone says, Djokovic's will power is the greatest that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot.

Heh, heh. Wonderful to see.

 

[Hitman]

Yes

But sinner is new Djokovic. Bigger stronger and more aggressive

Completely irrelevant to my point.

 

[NoleFam]

Does this one count for the h2h?

No it's an exhibition. LC is the only "exhibition" they count in the h2h, and it shouldn't be considering they don't play a 3rd set.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

This is serious tennis, 650m altitude combined with fast courts is the issue.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Beat the juicer, Novak. Then I'd re-start rooting against you when you play Alcaraz or Rafa.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Speed on serve going down

Nole is losing this on fitness now

 

[Bastion]

If Djokovic wants to beat Sinner in the future again in the big matches, his biggest concern will be that he is still struggling with the Sinner serve, even the 2nd one. Unlock that, then he can have a good go at AO 2025.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Goat

 

[NoleFam]

The biggest difference between this year and last year for Novak is the serve. Outside of the Olympics, he really hasn't served that well. The serves weren't coming back last year.

 

[nolefam_2024]

211 out wide

Sampras Djokovic

 

[-NN-]

Good match. Might be an exho but they are playing for some colossal moolah.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic just hit 3 first serves at
211
210
209

Never have I seen this

 

[nolefam_2024]

208

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Y'all know this match is fixed, right? About as real as a "reality show".

 

[Bastion]

Sinner just saying thank you this guy is retiring soon!

 

[mehdimike]

Sinner missed 3 BPs on Novak's second serves. Novak is gonna punish him for that.

 

[NoleFam]

The biggest difference between this year and last year for Novak is the serve. Outside of the Olympics, he really hasn't served that well. The serves weren't coming back last year.

Then he serves 130+ out of nowhere and 2 aces, lol.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Break him nole.

Finish the world number 1
