2023 US Open F: Djokovic vs. Medvedev

[El Dude]

Stan Smith! He's sort of a forgotten almost great player. He was really good for a few years, but then dropped precipitously. Sort of similar to Hewitt.

 

[atttomole]

Roger used to destroy him with a mixture of slices and drop shots. He is a good mover but he can exposed. As you said, if Djokivic hits the slices well, he will win.

 

[El Dude]

Mac was 5-0 vs Smith, but only played him in 1979-81 when Smith was nearing the end.

SP for Novak

Meddy survives

 

[El Dude]

Funny, I don't remember any Roger-Daniil matches. Roger was 3-0 against him, but it was early on as Medvedev was rising (2018-19).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy a failed attempt to volley Novak with SP again

 

[nehmeth]

Novak you need to stop chatting with your box and focus on your play

 

[El Dude]

Anyone know how similar Croatian and Serbian are?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy with a over head smash and found his serve and survived 2 BPs

 

[El Dude]

Or is Goran speaking Serbian or Novak Croatian?

 

[atttomole]

That is true. Her he was younger. I remember the miami masters final when he took him to the cleaners with angles and drop shots. That must have been 2018.

 

[nehmeth]

El Dude, ”You’re playing like a dumb ass“ is the same in both languages.

 

[El Dude]

LOL, @nehmeth

 

[don_fabio]

Dude it's basically same, we undestand each other perfectly well

 

[atttomole]

The languages are pretty much the same, with some nuances.

 

[El Dude]

@don_fabio are you Croatian or Serbian?

 

[don_fabio]

@El Dude I'm Croat

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak is like a bloody wall

 

[nehmeth]

Finally. Solid point there Novak. Keep it up.
