Harry Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I'm not a fan of Rafa as a player but he's an absolute gentleman and an excellent ambassador for the sport. Quote

Nope, I've just liked Thiem since he was ranked down in the 50s and was just emerging. And it's about time that the likes of him and Zverev and Medvedev say "enough's enough" to the old guard. Quote

And it's about time that the likes of him and Zverev and Medvedev say "enough's enough" to the old guard. Yeah, I was impressed by Thiem when he first came on the scene, he and Zverev were very impressive. Medvedev I have only followed over the last 2 years or so. But Thiem has improved his game further. He's much more cool and measured, which is key in the big matches. Djokovic has a big task to win this one now, being 2-1 down in sets. It's do or die for him in this 4th set. Quote
Machado Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic in meltdown since the second warning. Has recovered meanwhile but lost a set fighting his inner diva. Quote

Yeah, the temperamental side of Novak's character doesn't help his cause, but as a player he is superb. But his meltdown's can cost him against the very best opposition. Quote
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Thiem is 2-1 up in sets and it is 3-3 in the 4th set. It's very tight here, Djokovic trying desperately to stay in this match. Edited February 2, 2020 by Michael Quote
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic has served much better in this set, he's now 4-3 up in games here in the 4th set. Quote
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic breaks Thiem in the 4th set. He is 5-3 up and serving to try and win this 4th set. It looks like this match is heading for a 5th set. Quote

Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic wins his service game without dropping a single point and wins the set 6-3 in the process. It looks like Novak is back to his best, but Thiem has played some superb tennis himself today. Thiem will start serving in the 5th set, will he win his first ever Grand Slam against the mighty Djokovic? Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted February 2, 2020 Does the fifth set go to a tie break nowadays? Preferred the marathon 5th sets we used to get to be honest. Quote

Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic breaks Thiem in the 5th set to take a 2-1 lead. Djokovic has transformed, his service has been flawless in the past few games and he is playing aggressive and clinical tennis. Quote
Machado Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Thiem has dropped his game too much. Missing all kinds of shots. Shame. Quote
Harry Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Hopefully once Djokovic retires I'll be able to enjoy tennis again. 1 Quote
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Djokovic is 5-4 up in the final set and he is serving to win the Australian Open. Quote
