    What a player.

    4th game 3rd set -

    4 break points saved in brilliant fashion with winners by ST -> "I'll take it to you again"

    Tsits gone off for a strategy shyte

    If ND did it there would be uproar :D

    I see Tsitsipas taking an injury timeout, if Djokovic did it there would be uproar...

    A glimmer for Djokovic, pity he couldn't get the double break for the set 6/2 so he'd be serving first in the 4th ... but let's see....

    Still Tsitsipas overwhelming favourite..

    I'd make Djokovic favourite now, all that experience, he's been in similar situations over the years against tougher more experienced opponents and won out, this is all new for Tsitsipas and will be extremely difficult for him to close out this match. Tsitsipas best chance is to get it done in this set, if it goes to a fifth Djokovic will be the overwhelming favourite

    Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Tsitsipas lose the plot here a la Friday. Unfortunately for him I doubt Djokovic would let him get away with it like Zverev did.

    This quality of competitor just has never been seen in tennis before him.

    truly amazing is the only way to describe it

    Is it ?;)

    nobody deliberately loses games and sets in tennis unless they are fixing a match.

    seriously

    would you please stop

    Anyone know what price you'd have got on Djokovic when he was down 2 zip?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    consolidates the break !! come on !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,429 ✭✭✭C__MC


    Flaky by the Greek lad
    Bottle job
    Game over

    This fightback was always on the cards.

    A real test for ST. If he wants to win his first GS, he is going to have to dig real deep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    There's another up to 1.5 sets to go.

    It's not over.

    Wading through all the blanket predictions gets really tiresome.

    Have to say it again - the WTA getting the same prize money at slams is the biggest act of charity in commercial sports.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,301 ✭✭✭Girly Gal


    Only one winner now, Tsitsipas is mentally gone, can't see a way back for him, fair play to Djokovic for finding a way back into this match, tbh never really doubted him. Djokovic was there for the taking today, but, Tsitsipas let him off the hook and once Djokovic got a toe hold in the match his greater experience was likely to win out


  • Posts: 19,205 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    it's not a total done deal

    it's winner takes all in the championship set

    That sounds like far right conspiracy talk ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    Tsitsipas can still easily win this, he did it against Zverev the other day and was 2-0 up on him...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭sxt


    Djokovics rejuvenation from looking very heavy footed after two sets is remarkable. I'm going to buy a three pack of those Lacoste undies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,545 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    Another slam for ND comin up. The Nadal and Federer fan boys won’t like it but it’s absolutely inevitable that ND will over take them both and be without question the goat. The stats will back him up.

    Huge hold by Tsits


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    That hold could be huge ... would not surprise me if Djokovic was broken here...
