Almost feel bad for Djokovic and the lack of crowd support.

 

[Anil]

The title will be a decent consolation for him, don’t feel too sorry…?

 

[grecian]

gotta say, find watching Nole play irritating, so I don't, but people that are seem to be saying he's not even playing that well, which is perhaps more worrying than anything.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

A bit of a patchy Final. A lot of high quality shot making. But there was never a stage where I thought Djokovic wasn’t going to win.

 

[StephenZA]

Well done Djokovic.

 

[Niall]

Could be a painful day for Italian sport supporters .

Good match, but yeah even when Berrettini took set one, I doubt Novak was massively concerned.

 

[srbhkshk]

Stumbled on this today..

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Djoko has decided to play the Olympics, but I think it's just for the chance of the history of the Golden Slam. I don't think he's looking forward to it.

 

[Anil]

The Olympics is best of three sets, isn’t it? There is a slight uncertainty about him winning the gold I guess…?

Up until the final its best of three but final best of five.

tbf if there's one thing the djoker loves more than robotically and clinically winning titles it's attendance at superspreader events

Cruel but fair.

 

[Niall]

He's never won a gold at it either which is definitely something that will motivate him.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't know if Djokovic losing has made the Olympic thread as I have no interest in most of the events to date. But he won't be getting the Golden Slam.

 

[Anil]

At last some good news…not the rapist making the finals I mean but Djokovic losing…

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Fed is now 40.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Rafa and Thiem both out of the US Open. If Djoko is fit and firing and doesn’t throw a paddy it’s his to lose.

 

[Niall]

Its arguably his worst slam.

I know he hasn't won the French much, but that's due to Nadal been such a monster on the surface, some very painful losses at the US though.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Serena is out as well. I didn't think she was going to get that record anyway, but we might not see her again.

If he doesn’t throw the racquet or a ball at someone he is winning this.
