Nitto ATP Finals 2023, Turin, Italy

Ben Fatto Jannik a love service game to win the 1st set 75!

He played that game conservatively, intelligently, and confidently. Well done.

He has improved soo much in the last couple of months in his tactics, serve and his confidence

Novak was up 5-5, 40-0, so I went to get a snack, thinking it would be 6-5 when I returned. The score is 6-5, but Sinner will now serve for the set …

(And, yes, I plan on getting more snacks whenever Novak is up 40-0.)

I just turned on the tv to see Sinner win set point. What happened to Novak in that service game? (Obviously, you don't know...but someone might. lol)

PS: They did just show the recap, so I saw how Sinner won that game from 40-0 down.

This is really spot on. His serve placement is smart (going out wide has been hugely successful — not speed, but placement), and he’s not panicking mid-point, which is so key against Novak. Not that Sinner isn’t making errors — he is. But they’re not errors of bad judgement. They’re “good errors” as Annacone would say.

And there goes Novak, running off court …

 

[Moxie]

Is Djokovic still sick? He seemed to be kind of belching, and now just asked to run off the court for aa break.

Courier said Novak has been blowing his nose during changeovers.

At the very least, Sinner won a set so he should be "safe"

Now, the better question is: can he close out Djokovic?

 

[lomaha]

Oh please have you suffered an endema I have in my legs, and they blew up like a ballon, I could not move,, this has been an ongoing injury since Shanghai? he should have done the proper treatment and stopped played for starters.

Well I saw him move in the match and he could move... And he played a whole match the other day. So no comparason to your experiance I guess? Please don't assume you know how he feels. No doctors would tell him it was ok to play if it isn't.

After withdrawing from the tournament, did Tsitsipas make a statement about how unimportant the ATP Finals are?

No he actually said the opposite

Well I am, in the medical profession by the way, quite frankly I am amused that any doctor would say it was okay for a tennis player to play with a 'back edema'
I am watching Novak and Sinner match okay.I am not interested in having anymore conversation on the subject, thanks

Novak called for the trainer for a quick neck massage?

He had problems with his neck in the game against Rune aswell

 

[the AntiPusher]

I like the way the lighting makes the crowd appear as extras in a movie.. Novak's serve is so underrated... he really hits his spots...

 

[lomaha]

Novak is making an unusually amount of errors

 

[Kieran]

Novak called for the trainer for a quick neck massage?

How quick? Ten minutes? Twenty?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Surprise it was within the time limit lol!
