2021 Wimbledon SF: Djokovic vs. Shapovalov

[GameSetAndMath]

Shapo holds after lot of trouble .

 

[Jelenafan]

Shapovalov hits so many lame balls into the net he makes 39.9 year old rusty Federer look good.

Missed the notice that we are now down to measuring Methuselah’s age to the decimal point. ; )

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Now comes the end game; this is where Shapo will unleash his UFEs.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

If only Shapo is allowed to outsource big points, he would win a lot of GS titles.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hurry up Novak I need to sleep put in away asap

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 DF from Dennis in his service game

Novak with MP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Brave 2nd serve from Dennis........deuce

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak again with BP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yesssssssssssssss

Novak breaks and will serve for the match 6-5

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Congrats Novak
Denis a great learning experience for you,please learn to play percentage tennis,you have the game,also you had soo many BPs you could not convert

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In all three sets (especially in the first two), Shapo played better than Novak. Novak won, because he played the big points better. That is the story of the match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak had only 15 UFE the whole match....Denis only converted 1/11 BPs all match
Novak always congratulates his opponent ..........saying Denis is a great player.

Novak was stiffed for long time, unusually.

 

[BratSrbin]

Forward, Nole, in glory!

Haha I was gonna say nearly 40 and went with 39.9. Actually the ATP live rankings site gives age this way too in decimals and here you go. 39.9 it is

I am glad he played well despite the loss. I don’t think the outcome was in question. It was just disappointing to see Shapovalov miss every opportunity Novak presented him with to extend this match and waste it. He is almost there, and he certainly can be a slam contender if he makes the right adjustments to his game. I’m rooting for him now more than ever with fire power like that, he is certainly a dark horse at tournaments.

 

[Front242]

He makes way too many errors to be a slam contender imo. Semis is likely his best slam result for the long term.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

He’s 22 he has plenty of time to reel in the errors.

 

[Front242]

Time will tell I guess but it's the same every match of his I've ever watched tbh.

You may think he's been around awhile, but he's just 22. I don't even think it will take him as long as it did Stan to figure out how to win big. Even Cilic won a Slam, and that in the era of the Big 3-4. And that era is ending, either sooner or later, but, as I mentioned, Denis has the time to wait them out.
