Huge level drop for Zverev in the 2nd set and that can't happen if you're gonna beat Novak.  Maybe he read your post JWags and couldn't handle the pressure?

[Jockey]

Wow! What an ending to the 3rd set.

[MuggsyB]

Wow! What an ending to the 3rd set.

Neither guy was playing great until that last game.  I think Zverev blew a great opportunity but he has the game to extend this to a 5th.

Jimmy Butler is sitting in Zverev’s player box.

[MuggsyB]

This match is on Zverev's racket.  He's overpowering Novak both on his serve and on the ground.  If he can keep his nerves in check I think he wins the 5th.

[MuggsyB]

Wow what a break point and conversion by the Djoker.  Insane drop shot.

[MU82]

Buh-bye!

[MuggsyB]

Buh-bye!

The mental toughness of Djokovic is seriously off the charts.  Because Zverev has had every opportunity to usurp this match imo.  Not over yet....but close.

[MuggsyB]

Well....now it's over.  Zverev isn't gonna feel great about this L.

[MU82]

Fork! Stat!

Ugh, Djokovic has always been far and away my least favorite of the big three as well.

The fact that he’s going to be the one to end up with the most majors is kinda irksome.

Like I said the other night, his record after losing the first set in majors is pretty remarkable. He’s a mental giant and Zverev has always been kind of a head case.

COVID stuff aside, I feel like people don’t like me Novak cause he’s cocky and has a chip on his shoulder, especially compared till Fed who is the ultimate gentleman and Rafa who is sort of understated. Novak has never bothered me, I think he’s an entertaining personality, and his game is incredibly fun to watch.  I like that he will be on top with majors being very accomplished across all surfaces (and likely would have 2-3 more French opens if not matched against the best clay player of all time) compared to Rafa’s dominance on one surface and Fed who has only played well at the French in a 5 year period

Agreed...but you do have to hand it to the guy if he pulls this off.

[MuggsyB]

Zverev definitely has the talent to win  majors.  It's all between the ears.

Too cool to clap, though.

[MuggsyB]

Nobody thinks Medvedev has a chance?

[Not A Serious Person]

Nobody thinks Medvedev has a chance?

Not true.  Obviously, Novak is favored but Daniiel has a chance.  He is the #2 player in the world for a reason.

Agreed.

It's conceivable Djoker wins another 3-5 majors, Nadal still could win 1 or 2, Fed is done imo.

This is the most exciting women's GS Fimal maybe ever when you take into account both of their stories. Who ya got?

[MU82]

Emma looks like the player with a bigger variety of shots, and she definitely looks more rested. Very good athlete, too. She's got the first set, so let's see how Leylah responds.

Both are good service returners and neither has a killer serve, so lots and lots of break points in Set 1.

Radacanu has more firepower and Leylah hasn't served particularly well.  Hopefully Fernandez finds a way to take this to a 3rd set.

[MU82]

What a pleasure to watch, eh Muggs?

Those two young ladies gave every ounce of energy they had for the entire 2 hours. Great attitudes, great spirit, and a lot of talent, too.

[MuggsyB]

A quality match despite Leylah not serving well.  Radacanu's pop down the line is very impressive. Both of them brought it and are a pleasure to watch. I wasn't impressed by Fowler or Evert during the match.  Lots of nonsensical comments.

Great fun’s, few games. I confused the two more than a few times since Radacanu was dressed in the colors of the Philippine flag when Fernandez is the half Filipina.   

Two young, talented, and likable players on the women’s side. Love to see it.

Ha!  I didn't realize that!  Great observation Billy.
