2020 French Open SF: Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas

[AnonymousFan]

Who wins?

 

[Jelenafan]

I give Stefano a set in a tightly contested contest.

As much as I love it aesthetically, Steffano's BH is suspect here on the red clay with the heavier conditions. I think Novak can break it down, especially BO5.

I guess it depends on if Djokovic is still having physical issues. (PCB expressed some skepticism in his press conference after the match.) Tsitsipas has been playing pretty loose and well since the first round. Maybe it was you that said on the other thread that Novak can't afford a slow start on Friday like he had today.

@Jelenafan A reply to your other post saying that Tsitsipas is a streaky player. I see what you mean. He is a lot better player than Busta, but no one really knows how he will play tomorrow, even himself. His backhand and Ros are weaknesses. Perhaps he studied from these grinders that push Novak and Stefanos can be more patient before attempting the attack and winners.

@Moxie I mentioned that Novak can't afford a slow start. Not sure if Novak is injured or if there is anything at all. We all know how cold Paris is at the moment, perhaps he started a little bit stiff yesterday given the cold weather and bad memories from a few weeks ago. Once his body warmed up I would say he played completely normal.

Say 4. Maybe to warm up - loosing 1st set.

A Game Novak in 3.
B Game novak in 4-5.


He will punish fake hero’s BH.

For ALL Novak Fans AND country fellows:

Zamislite Novaka i Bobu u F a Mirjana iz Kragujevca sudi!
Ća ima lipše, haha.

Go Stefanos. Throw the serbian jerk out of Roland Garros Tennis needs a shot in the arm.

Cheap Jesus-Copy is not the shot Tennis needs.

Greek midget hero will go down.

I like Stefanos, but Djoker wins this. Considering the surface, I'm failing to see how Tsitsipas wins more than a set max. If Djokovic is dialled in, he wins in straights. If Djoker goes on a mental walkabout then maybe a set for the Greek.

Didn't watch Nole's QF match. But, I hear that he has shoulder, neck and arm issues. If those issues are just a drama or minor stuff, I will go with Novak. Otherwise, I actually pick (not just give a chance) to Perseus.

Novak improved noticeably as the Busta match went on, afterwards stated he felt fine . At one point in the match he even off the neck patch. Who know? So hard to gauge with these cold fall conditions plus the heavier balls, but yeah, if he's going to need over an hour to get warmed up in the SF"s or potentially F's doesn't bode well.

Djoke’s injury is likely a pinched nerve in the neck that causes pain and/or weakness in the left arm. If that resurfaces, he’ll lose no matter how much better he is than Tsitsi. If healthy, Djoke wins in 3.

Novak in 3.

If he is down 0-15 he had all those issues, if he was up 15-0 he was perfect.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Go Tsitsipas!

 

[don_fabio]

Novak with a good start, 3:0, he ain't injured.

Novak with a good start, 3:0, he ain't injured.

Nole took the 1st set! On serve in the 2nd! Looks like it'll be up to Perseus if he wants t/b aggressive & @ the same time cut the UFE's!

Update: Either people aren't watching or they're too intent to post! Nole on a roll and took the 2nd set after breaking twice down L-40! How demoralizing is that? Stefanos has all the ability in the world, but even when playing his best, he can whiff and make inexplicable UFE's! You can't get away with that playing against Nadovic!

 

[Bonaca]

Jesus, this Novak please in F.
Just one set to dream F!!!!!!!

Idemooooooooooooo


By the way, where are the Nadaltrolls, where?

Whay Tsitsipas acts like he deserves a break of serve? You need to earn it and then you deserve it. Don't know, his attitude seems just like the above.

At this point, Nole doesn't need the work! I just assume allow Djokovic a cakewalk to conserve his energy!
