Tokyo Olympics SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [4] Alexander Zverev

[Federer and Del Potro]

People really handwringing Giraffe Boy because he beat a bunch of plumbers to get here. TTW never ceases to amaze.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Djokovic is so much better compared to Wimbledon tbh. Scary stuff

 

[Indigo]

GOAT leads 4:1 with some GOAT play so far

 

[Jokervich]

Zverev is actually playing really well. He'd beat Nadal or Federer playing like this. Djokovic is just so good though.

 

[Checkmate]

Djokovic puts Zverev in a triangle!!!!!!!!

He is in deep deep trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZVEREV TAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE TAPS!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko clutch on the big points so far. This still a tough battle though. Both players playing well.

 

[guga_fan]

Yeah he means a lot of business down 4-1 in no time

It’s only one break of service after having deuce in all 3 of Djokovic’s service games. Zverev is playing really well.

 

[daphne]

Bery bery tough to beat him.

 

[ark_28]

It’s only one break of service after having deuce in all 3 of Djokovic’s service games. Zverev is playing really well.

He is but he doesn’t look like he can trouble Novak at this level Novak is just rallying moving him around and forcing Zverev to go for too much.

 

[Nadal_King]

Zverev unlucky so far as I feel he has been better player of the 2

 

[ChrisRF]

I don’t trust novak with serve anymore

What do you mean with “anymore”? He is serving better than ever.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

That drop shot was sick for Nole, Zed was disgusted.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

It’s only one break of service after having deuce in all 3 of Djokovic’s service games. Zverev is playing really well.

We now celebrate Next Gen getting to deuce?

 

[mike danny]

If Djokovic wins today, he'll be 14-1 against the main Next Gen players since Shanghai 2019.

 

[gadge]

Zverev is playing really well actually, but Novak is just Novak

 

[guga_fan]

He is but he doesn’t look like he can trouble Novak at this level Novak is just rallying moving him around and forcing Zverev to go for too much.

To me it seems obvious he can and is troubling Djokovic. He has to keep this level up though.

 

[Indigo]

Novak hitting running FH successfully!

 

[Street]

Zverev fell apart after the first 3 games.

 

[ark_28]

It’s only one break of service after having deuce in all 3 of Djokovic’s service games. Zverev is playing really well.

Make that 2 breaks! But yeah Zverev means business

 

[Checkmate]

knockout PUNCH

ZVEREV ON HIS BUMS!!!!

 

[Krish0608]

Playing really well. Means business. Down 1-5

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

5-1 Egg. Zverev got him to deuce a couple of times though.

 

[daphne]

I am soooo bored.

 

[Indigo]

GOAT leads 5:1 with double break

 

[mike danny]

Zverev is actually playing really well. He'd beat Nadal or Federer playing like this. Djokovic is just so good though.

He'd beat this fossile Federer? I'm impressed.

 

[gameovais]

When is the final guys and is it 5 sets?

 

[Indigo]

Gluten free bakery product incoming

 

[Nadal_King]

6-1 scoreline would be utterly unfair to how he played but that's how much clutch djokovic us these days

 

[Noleberic123]

If Djokovic wins today, he'll be 14-1 against the main Next Gen players since Shanghai 2019.

Weak era

 

[guga_fan]

We now celebrate Next Gen getting to deuce?

Not celebrating anything. Just not being disrespectful of Zverev level. Seems to have lost the plot in the next game though.

Good gif anyhow

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Down 1-5. Incredible level indeed.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko such a mental beast!

 

[Street]

Zverev became an error machine

 

[ChrisRF]

If Djokovic wins today, he'll be 14-1 against the main Next Gen players since Shanghai 2019.

Which names do yo count as such? Zverev, Medvedev and Tsitsipas? Or including someone else?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Next Gen coming out party this. He got it to 0-15.

 

[ark_28]

When is the final guys and is it 5 sets?

This will be the first time that final is best of 3 apparently

 

[mike danny]

Next Gen a bunch of losers as always. They can't even win in BO3 anymore.

 

[Checkmate]

It's like watching Number 1 vs Number 100

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Jesus Christ, Djokovic's return is out of this world!!!

 

[mike danny]

Which names do yo count as such? Zverev, Medvedev and Tsitsipas? Or including someone else?

Those 3 + Shapovalov. If the latter dorsn't deserve to be included, then fair enough.

 

[Checkmate]

3 GAMES LOST IN THE LAST 3 SETS!!!!!!!!

CRAZY!!!!!!

 

[Noleberic123]

Next Gen a bunch of losers as always. They can't even win in BO3 anymore.

Djokovic entered his peak in 2021

 

[mike danny]

The Next Gen are coming. Pushed Djokovic to 30 in this last game.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Hopefully Zverev doubles his efforts in Set 2 and wins at least 2 games.

 

[Nadal_King]

This is like peak nadal on clay, you play well still get seved bagels and breadsticks

 

[mike danny]

Djokovic entered his peak in 2021

Better than ever.

 

[daphne]

He used to own a pizza shop. These days he owns a bakery shop!

 

[lud]

From regular 6-3,6-4 wins these become 6-0,6-2,6-1. Djoko just out of this world.

 

[guga_fan]

That BHDTL really makes a difference. It has been missing for quite a while for Djokovic.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a set from Djokovic! Zverev actually played decent. That’s a scary level for Serbinator! Hopefully he keeps it up.
