Lex Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Masterclass from both players. After Rafa went 5-0 up in the first seemed like another blowout similar to last year was on the cards.Novak getting some consolation games at the end of that set before losing it 6-3 was the turning point. Nadal was fantastic from then on but Djokovic was just better. The two greatest players of all time IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The standard in sets 2,3 and 4 was just outrageous. Two legends of the sport absolutely bringing their best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
