Jokervich
Hall of Fame
You don't just suddenly get broken back to love, lose 9 straight points, 8 straight games and 10 of the last 11 games without a) an injury b) not trying. This was after winning the first set 6-1 and 9 of the first 12 games.
He barely looked like he cared in the final set. Wasn't running for balls, was hitting tame balls with no pace, wasn't as expressive on the court as he was in the first set. It was reminiscent of Federer in the final set against Hurkacz at Wimbledon, where he looked like he stopped trying. This is very unlike Djokovic.
Zverev played a decent match, but if Djokovic was actually trying as hard as he did in set 1, this would have been a straight sets victory without question.
