Djokovic rarely misses shots indoors he's like a wall still your right Djokovic only the tiebreaker on dimitrov mistakes nadal-djokovic final looking good.
This Novak is no opponent for Nadal, not even here.
Yesterday after a few games i know Novak is on fire, before he punished the greek. Today it is completely opposite.

Tomorrow all depends on what Novak shows up.

I am surprised to see all kind of speculation regarding the improvement in Shapovalov's results when the reason is so clear and there is plenty of articles out there about it.
It is the coaching change!
Mikhail Youzhny joined the team this summer and the results started shortly thereafter.
Misha "organized and disciplined" his game. Not a rocket science at all.

Yes, specially considering that Youzhny was a very cool headed player. Wait, he was actually a blood headed player...




(I get it, former military, knows about discipline)

Novak breaks out of nowhere.
it looks like one of the Great 3 shows again their average play is enough for the Rest.

Nadal and Roger would have won in straights today.

Novak is into the final with his SF win over Dimitrov. He’s looking unstoppable. Handing him the trophy seems like a formality at this point.

Novak won, we will see the ultimate Final with Nadal.
He played an average tournament so far.

My hope is he raises his level significantly against an elite opponent. He took the match yesterday more serious than all other matches so far.

I was waiting a long time to see them again in a F that counts. I hope both show up with a good level.

Idemo Nole!

I like Denis, but this guy named Nadal is a super-heavyweight and Denis a light-heavyweight.
At best he can gain experience.

Yes! He played very well.
Absolutely no, he was just playing the ball back AND waiting for errors , Grigor was very nice AND do IT for him every time IT counts.
That was B-.
