Last post summarized a lot of the post going around and so many, and many excuses of some of the biased fans.
I heard the so call Djokovic looks physically flat phrase so many times already. He absolutely always does that, when his opponent is on fire, and doesn't give him rhythm/momentum. He was playing "dead" so so many times. It's either a trick or body language.
But once he get an edge in the set, he is a different player.
Just a few mentioning of this. Million times against Federer, he does the same against Thiem in AO final, when Thiem start producing insane tennis, and we all know how that ended. Then he did exactly the same in Tsitsipas match.
He looks like he is set and done, and not even goes after some balls, and it's like he is injured or whatever, and the moment you drop your level, cause you say to yourself oh it's over, he punish you, and it's over, but for you.
Sorry to not believe this antics.
As far as the legs excuse i already bashed that out, as you can read in some of my previous post, but let me add, that this match was not a typical physical battle to say, he just didn't have the legs and fall shorts. It was nothing like that. It wasn't going left-right all over from Medvedev, so from what exactly his legs were gone? If the match was 4-5 hard set, make an excuse for Zverev match, but how in the blue hell you can make an excuse, where Medvedev was primary playing deep in the center part.

And the match was not a physical battle at all. Not so much long rallies as well. And Medvedev won the first set extremely fast.
And here is the perfect opposition as to why this excuse is exactly that - an excuse. Djokovic was super quick on Medvedev drop shots. He was always there, and he was there very early, because he was very quick on his feet. Every single drop shot and Djoko started super early, and he was super quick.
Chanwan, thanks for the praise, but then i'm exactly the opposite of what you are trying to make me. I got no problem going into the discussion, but what i see from few people here is just plan and simple excuses without any sensible explanation.
I'm all open to talk about the game, and what led to this result, as well if someone did not agree with some of my points, and how Medvedev produce this tactical masterpiece, but i'm yet to see someone to actually try to argue my points.
But you pretty much can't do it, simply because it was so so visible what his strategy was.
And BTW Djokovic had a cake walk till Zverev. And Zverev is a guy that never ever in his life has a win over top 10 player in a Slam. He usually go deep, because his draw are always super easy.
Don't make me laugh with Berrettini pls, cause this guy is terrible.
Djokovic previous matches was a joke as well.
And this was probably first Medvedev draw that turns out to be easy, he always have a nightmare draw. His draw at Wimbledon was absolutely insane, and Djoko still have a easy draw in there too.
And Djoko rested like a month after the Olympics, it's not like he was playing too much tournament before that.
Sorry but the fatigue excuses is just ridiculous, when he had so heavy Clay season, and played a tournament right before RG, and then have like 5 super hard matches, and at the end manage to win from 2-0 down, and was absolutely looking fresher than Tsitsipas in that final.
And just to mention English is not my native, and still have hard time with it. Got to put way more efforts into it.

I'm very cool person usually.
