Nitto ATP Finals 2023, Turin, Italy

Yikes. Djokovic picked the right time to get his first break of serve.

Courier said something interesting about 2 sets ago: that both Novak and Jannik grew up skiing, and they say it helps them slide into shots. I've never heard that before.

Also, in perhaps usual hyperbolic fashion, he said that Djokovic is the greatest TB player of all time. Is that true? I mean, certainly of late, but maybe @El Dude or @tented can figure that out?

Help me again I am agreeing with Courie againr agree with the skiing able to slide into their shots, it also helps your balance on both wings

Dang it! Sinner couldn't hit 1st serves when he needed to in that game! Now, let's see if he can regroup mentally.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Jannik he is not going to hand you this match, lets reset again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Of course Novak has a love service game
4 all

It’s true.

 

[Moxie]

Very good regroup and statement hold from Sinner. Can the crowd carry him across?

 

[lomaha]

40 -0 is a dangerous lead for Novak

 

[Moxie]

Why not play a let on that if the Jumbotron malfunctioned?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik needs to find his 1st serve ASAP

 

[rafanoy1992]

Great freakin' hold, Sinner!

 

[Moxie]

Stai tranquillo, Jannik. Con calma! Forza!

 

[tented]

Why not play a let on that if the Jumbotron malfunctioned?

Good question, but I can’t think of any precedent for doing that. The closest I can recall is when the Bryan brothers had it turned off because it kept showing their behind-the-back signals to each other when serving, which allowed their opponents to see them as well.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stai tranquillo, Jannik. Con calma! Forza!

Non passo restore calmo

 

[Moxie]

OK, tie-break again. Can Sinner beat the odds?

 

[Kieran]

Si the crowd is boing at Novak. That usually means he gets mad, focused and dangerous..

Or he cries. It can go either way..

 

[tented]

3-0 — but it’s Novak.

 

[tented]

4-0 — but it’s Novak.

 

[tented]

OK, 5-0. It would take an enormous &*%&*-up to blow this.

 

[lomaha]

5-1 but its Novak?
