No, this is going the other way. Alex blew that game and the diesel engine is getting revved up now.

It's like a big brother just letting the lil fella win for a little bit before he stomps him.

The sport kind of sucks now, but every once in a while matches like Tsitsipas/Alcaraz bring you out of your seat and remind you why it can be great. And, I must say that while I generally despise the women's game, what the two finalists have done is incredible.

Is it just because of the same people dominating or what?

A little. The young generation should have taken over by now. Part of the problem is that the sport has turned into an endurance contest somewhat. Guys like Rafa and Novak have been able to just go into defense lockdown at times. That said, they also have some incredible shot skills, so it's not all who can run the most.

Gotcha. I don’t know the intricacies of tennis but I’m enjoying it so far. Alex serve is insane but im seeing why joker has won so much. Hopefully it’s just a good match from here on out

I am not digging this electronic line judging.

That last point by Djok to make it 3-2 in the third was 100% out. Zverev just stared at it knowing that it was out.

That was a pretty big error tapping the ball perfectly to Djokovic, wasn’t it?

Why didn’t he redrop that instead of hammering it?

Hopefully the pressure in the fifth gets to zverev.

Sucks I don’t think Novak can beat zverev as he has the much younger legs here. Just ran out of gas.
