Australian Open 2024 SF: Djokovic vs. Sinner

[tented]

@tented ok can I go to bed now brother. Congrats @MargaretMcAleer and the rest of y'all. I think it will be Sasha Zverev upset Daniil

Goodnight! Hope you’re wrong about Zverev.

I’ve still got it!

I'm so sorry! But when Tignor and Bodo went away, you seemed all we had. Well done, anyway.

Impressive win by Sinner. He's been having an amazing run since late last year. Into his first final of a Major, and I like his chances for the win. He already beat Novak, after all.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am going to savoir this SF, a Grand Slam final is a different ball game and Jannik will need to lift again
Now I am soo proud, he has worked soo hard for this result
Jannik Forza!

NID result. I'm actually stunned that Pushovic managed to win a set. I was afraid that Sinner would choke away the match like at Wimbledon but he has improved so much since then, he is leaps and bounds better than Djokovic. Djokovic couldn't match Margaret Court's 11 titles here, he isn't even the greatest champion the AO tournament has ever seen. lol Anyways best of luck Sinner in the final, and thank you for saving tennis!

Question why did ESPN show a stat that Novak's GS title was #25. I was like have I missed something

 

[Moxie]

PS: This is Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi making good on their Coach of the Year win last year. Sinner has the talent, but they've done a great job shaping it.

I didn't want to bring up this parallel until after the match was completed but check this:
Coco led the series 4-2 against Saba, and had won the last final they played, but lost in the SF.
Djoke led the series 4-2 against Bean and had won the last final they played, but also lost in the SF

Now that may very well be the changing of the guard finally.

Amen! We've been waiting for so long! Novak truly can't win them all! He's done his best, but it was time! It happened at Wimbledon, now his AO!

By the way guys, Jannik Sinner has now beaten Djokovic, Alcaraz and Medvedev at least 3 times in his young career. 7 of those wins came since October!

The most pleasing stat for me is Sinners serve did not get broken in the match, didnt face a BP............Unbelievable!

As a proud Italian we also have Bolelli and Vavassori in the mens doubles final!

Exactly...against the so-called best returner in men's tennis. (I still think it's Rafa.)

Yep I cant go against Rafa

 

[rafanoy1992]

Sinner in this tournament has been calm, cool and business like demeanor. Like you could tell in his face that he won’t go too low or too high in terms of showing energy and emotion.

I am very curious to see on how a 1st Slam title will do wonders on Sinner’s career!

I still can't believe Sinnetl didn't offer a single BP. He must have been playing out of his mind to leave Djokovic without a single BP. How about a break of serve? Not even close.

At least Novak will have no regrets at all, he simply got outplayed today.

 

[don_fabio]

I'm interested how did Novak behave today? Any angry outbursts and frustrations? Any broken rackets? Lenghty toilet breaks? MTOs?

Or did he look like he just accepted the fact that he was in for some ass whoopin' today and there was no way out of it this time?

The latter. He didn't even the take the toilet break after the 2nd set that Kelli and all of the McEnroes predicted. Subdued, and sub-par.

He had only one DF. Which was late in the 4set I believe. Is that correct?
