2020 French Open SF: Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas

[GameSetAndMath]

If Tits learnt anything from the first SF, he will go down 0-7 in the TB.

Stefano woke up it seems.

Stefano woke up it seems.

He played a couple of great bhands to finally win the 3rd set......

and 2-0 up in 4th

Novak rights the ship after losing five games in a row.

 

[Jelenafan]

I dunno, serving for a set at 5-4 seems jinxed at this French Open.

Novak breaking back is big, puts the pressure squarely back on Stefanos to make something happen.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

If things go tight, Novak has a tendency to bounce 10 more times than normal. He already has a time violation warning. So, if he does that, they will dock a point. He needs to be careful.

Tits wrong footed Nole nicely

Novak making this match very comlicated for himself. Tsitsipas was superb on break points in whole 4th set, amazing play.

Mental meltdown, very unusual for him.
Next set decides if F is worth watching.

Novak is without a doubt the most unlucky player! It's not like he's playing poorly; Stefanos has elevated his standard, but all those missed BP's is typical and drives me insane! The opponent just legitimately pulls it out; nothing Nole did to hurt himself most of the time!

On the flip side, Fiero, Tsitsipas missed a bushful of breakpoint opportunities in the first 2 sets. Both players have reasons to feel frustrated.

Youngster will have the advantage physically in the fifth.

If he can hold serve....he's been playing dangerously on his own service it seems every time..

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Expect Novak's arm, shoulder and neck pain to make an appearance soon, now that things are going tight.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Nole consolidates. All pain must be gone now.

Esurance break
