Novak needs to up the level and take control before he gets down in this set.

Tsitsipas breaks to open the second.

Novak seems messed up physically. He can't put any juice on an overhead.

Tsitsipas is out-Djokovic'ing Djokovic.

He's making him hit that extra shot and make some errors.

I just think he and Rafa can't play these long, highly contested physical sets anymore without it getting them gassed a little bit.

Novak definitely had a tough road going through nadal. May have taken too much out of him.

Tsistipas had the much easier semi for sure.

I was going to say this. I don't think this is the first time he has struggled in a final after playing Nadal in the semifinals.

Could see this being another Djokovic letdown.

This is the first time it's happened at Roland Garros.

2015 he beat Nadal pretty easily in the quarterfinals, but then played a long match with Andy Murray in the semis before losing in the final. Stan was just in god mode.

No he didn’t… he was up two sets and then had to win it in five…. Just watch Novak will be ok.

He’s gassed. Losing that tie breaker obviously put him off mentally probably because he knows he needed to not let this go 4-5 sets. Terrible luck after beating nadal and not have it be a final.

Yup. They are both in there mid 30’s and these young guns can take it to them…. However both are in peak physical shape for their age.

This is headspace stuff. We all know this from watching him, and we all know he can get it back in a hurry. But this is classic Djokovic.

Tsitsipas is up 5-2 in the second. He won the first in a breaker.

I just don't know if he has the fuel in the tank today.

Dry or heavy condition? If heavy Joker has a better chance after going through Nadal. I wonder if they dampen the court after third if Novak wins it?
