US Open Final: Djokovic vs. Medvedev

[Ricardo]

Geez something is wrong when Djoker becomes a serve and volleyer

One of my journalist's friends just texted me and said

"It looks like Rafa has invaded Medvedev's body".........LOL'

I guess we had to get Rafa in there somewhere to give him credit for this win over Novak now down 2 breaks with little hope looming!

I would have said his head.

I would have said his head.

That too

There is no sprung in Novak’s spring.

I think Novak expected some things will be given to him, you know a break here a break there so the match goes the distance, but Medvedev is not giving anything, because he knows if he gives something it could turn things around. Similar to how Novak lost to Rafa in RG last year, or how he beat Rafa in AO and Medvedev in AO. It's fine margings between a match and demolition. Once he was down a break in 2nd after not converting BPs, that was it and legs become heavy, confidence goes down and match is finished.

Novak's gotten no freebies of any kind to help his cause; not even a couple UFE have helped! He's losing all the tough points!

Get a sense of humor...okay.....

Djoko took a bathrrom.break against Rafa and Tsitsipas to break momentum.

When was last time Novak did not break his opponent in a slam match?

I have been working and only been watching on mute, so no sense of the fine points. I see Dani is playing great, and serving great. How much you think is nerves for Djokovic? Pressure makes the legs heavy.

i would help but i am also misssing finer points following score via slamtracker..still interesting though.

 

[Ricardo]

Speak for yourself. I'm enjoying it, so far.

Because you want Rafas record protected, and it’s going your way…..i am not agenda driven like you, am just a tennis fan. However, I must say it’s disappointing someone has gotten so far and only to trip over at the last hurdle.

I suggest you show some respect as it’s truly deserved.

He's got a mountain to climb, and it doesn't like Medvedev is going to allow it. He knew what he had to do, and he's doing it. Match of his life, so far. But don't forget, he can have a weak head.

This wasn't about momentum and much as Novak isn't even in the stadium! He's looks absolutely out of it! I can get back to football!

 

[tossip]

Djoko took a bathroom.break at RG against Rafa and Tsitsipas to break momentum..cheating and now its karma.I am sure Rodger and Rafa are laughing in their beer over this karma.

 

[Federberg]

I rather suspect Novak will mail it in now. I've seen him hit the circuit breaker against Roger before. This seems like one of those moments

 

[Moxie]

Wow, good question. I didn't realize he hasn't broken yet.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

seems surreal ...,,,,,,djoko down 2 sets and 0-4. eeek.

When?

He said he would play this match as if it were the last match of his career. If he mails it in now, he puts paid to that.

 

[don_fabio]

When?

I have no idea, I'm asking.
