Last time Novak lost a five setter was to Mario Ancic at Wimbledon in 2006

I loved Ancic's game pity he got Chronic Fatique and never recovered, retired

Darren Cahill has to work on Sinner's game around the net.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh well there is the insurance break for Novak

Cahill has a lot of work to do. The kid needs to learn to regroup when the opponent makes a stand and get back to the plan.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Still proud of you Jannik making the q/final at Wimbledon a first for you, good learning experience on the grass
Ben Fatto Jannik!

This is all but over. Sinner doesn’t have the mental strength to beat Novak, whose confidence is now soaring. Alcaraz never would have allowed Novak back into the match.

Not exactly..Novak and Rafa can has the ability to take their games to another level in the latter sets at a Grand Slam. I don't know if Carlos is there as yet to be able to do this in a best of 5 grand slam format.

Oh, man!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Who does Novak play now in the s/final?

Who does Novak play now in the s/final?

The winner of Norrie/Goffin.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The winner of Norrie/Goffin.

LOL!...sorry what a draw he has to the final

 

[Jelenafan]

Jannik's best shot was winning in straights, once he gave up that early break in the 3rd set....

This is impossible to know, of course, but Alcaraz is mentally tough and confident, plus it would have been in Djokovic's head about the loss to him in Madrid. He might not have gotten over those nerves he was feeling.

Please that is all here say, I mean could Alcaraz do any better today against Novak, Sinner was in total control of that match, a couple of loose shots in the t/break from Sinner, he should have won in straights sets.

If Sinner wins this set I think I will have an all egg white omelette with veggies and orange juice.

Ah man he lost but surely a bag of coke and a bottle of whiskey would've gone down better

I doubt anyone was beating Djokovic today especially after he left the court after being 2 sets down, came back playing the last 3 sets at a different level

Sinner really had to defeat him in 3 sets, hard task I know, though being 2 sets to love up, Sinner had all the momentum

Shame for him, but he must feel he is getting closer to winning a slam after his Wimbledon performance. Very good tournament.

Well he seems to play well on the HC, so I guess we will have to wait and see.

Sinner has to bulk up and get even fitter than he is. There is too much breakdown after every few tournaments. He ruins his own progress because his body can’t keep up after every few tournaments.
