Drawn to play Benoit Paire at Queens Club. Potential meeting with Berretini and Dan Evans if he is to progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I didn't see this coming... Djoko is a set and a break down in the final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Andy Murray remains the only player to straight set Novak in a slam final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) This is the seventh occasion that Djokovic has come back and levelled the match 2-2 after being 2-0 down. Ominously for Tsitsipas Djokovic has only lost once. Andy Murray stopping the comeback in the final of the US Open in 2012.

jaggyness Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 That, is probably why Djokovic will go down as the greatest player to ever have picked up a racquet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhafc1874 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 And Novak completes the comeback from 2 sets down. Fair play.Only player in the open era to have won all 4 grand slams at least twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Djokovic two sets down in the quarters to Berretini, wins in five. Lost the first set to the greatest clay court player of all time in the semi, wins in four. Two sets down in the final to Tsitsipas, wins in five.Unbelievable, has to be one of the all time great major wins.All time majors now:Nadal 20Federer 20Djokovic 19Bit of inevitability about Novak finishing top of that list when all three are retired. He’s the youngest of the three and in the best shape physically. Hard to see any one other than him winning Wimbledon in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sensational stuff again from Novak. Hopefully Tsitsipas comes out of this stronger and leads the new generation of new talents forward so that we can enjoy several years of classic slams and rivalries between them similar, if not as good, to what we have been treated by Nadal, Federer and Djoko (with the lesser but significant contribution of Andy Murray). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 3 hours ago, TheScarf said: That’s a great stat and one I’ve never thought of before. Murray's also never lost a set to Djokovic on grass. Only met twice, mind, but Murray's record on the surface is pretty outstanding. 84% win rate, 85% at Wimbledon, 2 slams, 1 slam runner-up, 1 Olympics and 5 wins at Queens, plus 2 singles and a doubles win in a Davis Cup semi final. Another closely connected stat is that 9 of his 46 singles titles have been won in London - those grass titles, plus the ATP Final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention his doubles win at Queens, and his silver medal in mixed doubles. Both on grass too. He also handed out Roger Federer’s worst ever defeat on grass too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Today's order of play, would think Andy won't be on until late afternoon at the very earliest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
