Stupid idiot raz. Should be banned.Raz threw this.
My eyes were watery, I can't remember if I let them fall but it was enough to wipe lolI'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear. Not often that has happened in my tennis watching life.
Tell me about it! I don't like CA at all.This match was a pleasure to watch.
Why is that apart from grunting?Tell me about it! I don't like CA at all.
There are no tennis Gods, but Djokovic wears the symbol of Christ in every match and acknowledged him after winning, and that’s the reason he came out on top with the best career.Djokovic's forehand winner at 2-2 in the second set tiebreak should be listed as a UNESCO heritage site.
That day the tennis Gods christened Djokovic's forehand telling him "go get what you deserve"
Alcaraz is young enough to recover quickly . No way that can be made an excuse . As we ca say novak wimbeldon final performance was bad enough so we must accept novak olympic final was good enough. NOVAK gave it everything(nadal style) fighting for every point as life depend on that single point.Wonder what would have happened if Alcaraz hadn't exhausted himself playing dubs with Rafa that week.

Novak has in earlier campain did same thing playing singles and doubles . Sometime you overtax yourself and pay the price. 7 were single games so they are equal for novak and alcaraz. 3 double games would have tired him but not to that extent that he was outplayed . Alcaraz played well in finals and never was outplayed at any moment. It was just novak played both tie breaks supremely.10 matches in one week is a lot for any age, no one is superman. No excuses just facts.
God was on his sideI didnot expect Djoker to win tbh. He was facing raz who seemed unstoppable at that time. Plus djoker had a surgery not too long ago.
Raz probably felt too confident and could never reach the levels like RG final. One he screwed up the first set bps, match was gone.
Novak was clutch as usual. And he won OG gold at age 37 at clay court. Unbelievable.
NONSENSE! Just an excuse for the Novak haters.Raz threw this.
This was cosmic justice and so, so right.. He got that elusive trophy that he wanted the most...
He will go down as the first player, male or female to complete the full set. The day Djokovic entered the stratosphere and did the unthinkable.
He was already, at 20>20>20.Great performance, as Djokovic himself said his greatest moment of his career. not enough to make him the greatest of his era, but still massive respect of course and an emotionally wonderful day for us all who have followed him all these years.
I was so tensed that Novak will loose straight set that i did not watched 1 set . Only after 1 set opened tv to know Novak won first set and let me confess that still was not sure that Novak was going to win . All that was assured that it would not be one sided. As 2 set proceeded watched Novak was fighting well enough and that second set tie break 2-2 and that running forehand then hoped novak is going to win and that last point for gold medal.I was in Barcelona in a bar watching and safe to say I was the only one rooting for him. My heart was beating at twice the rate in the second set-tie break (and it was an "easy" one).
A couple of days ago I went to the same bar and was remembering the victory.
You guys are too pessimistic.I was so tensed that Novak will loose straight set that i did not watched 1 set .

Hollywood style.
You should say too nervous also. Maybe that what seprate champions from the also rans. When stakes are high they raise themselves and people like me they took the oshtrich way.You guys are too pessimistic.
LOLHe was already, at 20>20>20.
God was on his side
