For me the most impressive thing about Djokovic's performance is that he found motivation and positivity out of nothing. Imagine you just got thrashed in the previous set, your opponent is hitting winners left and right, you can't win a point on return, nearly all your service games are being taken to deuce and you're facing a crucial break-point It takes real mental toughness to generate motivation from that situation
It was plain tactic, his intention was to save energy in the thrid set in order to get fresh into the fourth set. And he knew that if the match goes to the decider, fifth set it will be a peace of cake to win the match. As he is more fit than any other player on tour, he can continue to produce high level of tennis after a marathon of four hours of play. Have a look at the mechanics of strokes. Thiem consumes much more energy to generate power in his strokes.
@@stelmanx7010 Tennis strategies won't be that simple to save energy and user after...

He was having some type of sugar/electrolyte issue due the match. His team fixed him up a "magic potion" to fix it and thats why he bounced back in the fourth.
Djokovic playing against the crowd EVEN in Melbourne. The most underappreciated sportsmen in tennis. A mental rock and by the time he ends his career - the greatest of all time. He is the GOAT in my books even now. Just imagine how many GS's he would have had if he enjoyed nearly as much support as he rightfully deserves. He has been battling both the crowd and his opponents throughout his WHOLE career. Greatest of all time. Period. Btw this is coming from a guy that GENUINELY disliked Novak in the first half of his career, and was always a Fed fan, but learned to respect and later on - admire him because of everything he is
If he was smarter he would respect the Graout the only thing he is thingin is more slams more Gram Slams. He is loosing and he is stars swering and smashing his rackets.
Mary Alexis Respect is EARNED, and anger makes him human, and for both of these you need to be a good man to understand and appreciate these, some call it âcommon senseâ my dear.
He played very well; lost some form, dropped in the rankings, but if he (Thiem) can get back on track, he's a pretty exciting prospect: classy guy, very likeable: I'm a Fed Fan when he faces Nadal or Novak, but all 3 are GOATS, amongst many I've watched since the 80's; It'll be interesting 2 see w/ Roger likely 2 retire 1st, how Thiem will fit in most likely against Djokovic & Nadal, who still have time 2 try 2 win more Majors, though Fed has stated he will tread lightly the rest of 22 to make an effort 2 play in 2023; BACK 2 Thiem; he has all the tools, and 2 your point, a sharper performance that his US Open

@@Femaqui07 I mean that in the most positive way possible because I am a big fan of Djokovic. I absolutely think that this Bravo is much more of a mental game than actual praise. It shows Thiem that Djokovic is not bothered by his play, in fact he is so unbothered that he is perfectly okay with praising his opponent in the crucial set. Djokovic is not just a mental wall, he knows perfectly well how to mentally disturb his opponents as well. The same thing was crucial for the final tiebreak at the Wimbledon 2019 final. He asked for that (at first glance useless cause the ball was clearly in) challenge after Federer's first point because he knows that Federer is a mental weakling in these big moments (especially against Djokovic) and is easily disturbed, easily loses his rhythm and no offense to Fed fans but he has kind of an arrogant personality on court and in the next point, Federer just wasted the point with a half-assed, rushed half-volley, which basically lost him the match. So Djokovic is clearly a savage on the court in more than one way.

Like IVAN LENDL, he "re-channels" the crowd energy, pretends they're rooting 4 him, and / or he "tunes it out" I also think it takes pressure OFF of him 2 win these matches: and as 4 the Slam count, and as a Fed Fan when he faces Nadal & Novak, I have no problem w/ him collecting as many Majors as he can get b4 he calls it a day, though 2 your point, there are many Nadal - Fed Fans who obsess about it: Bottom line is, all 3 are GOATS, "freaks of nature, and, like many of the greats, gifts from above
IÂŽve been lucky to watch 16 of those 17 slams , the us open 2011, ao 2012 , wim 2015 and us open 2015 are my favorites so far nole man i just wanna say thank you for the wonderful memories so far đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđâ
For me, the favorite is the 2019 Wimbledon final, and also the 2011 US Open semifinals, 2012 AO final and 2018 Wimbledon semifinals. The 2019 Wimbledon final and 2011 US Open semifinals almost gave me a heart attack haha, but Novak prevailed.
This was a great match too, Djokovic almost gave me a heart attack during the 2 and 3 sets, but when he saved a break point with his serve and volley early in the 4 set, I knew he was going to win and I was right.
@@pacifist1360 the wim 2018 Sf against rafa was definitely a CLASSIC , djokovic was still under effects from a longtime injury haven't won a single title since his back on action ( if im remembering right ) winning that slam was his COMEBACK how impressive was that.
@@AlanGoswami-nz9lg Wimbledon 2018 Final between Djokovic and Anderson was nothing to see besides the third set tiebreak. Djokovic humiliated Anderson.
Mark Twain - 'Be good and you will be lonesome.' Djokovic says, "I will be good regardless." Mark Twain - The Father of American Literature.....his quotes are mathematically accurate.
You are Novak Djokovic the most polite sport's man I have ever met in my Life... Thank You for your existance... Keep going ahead .., stay the way You are.., You are simply the Best human creature and young generations should follow you n your great attitude !! My respect to the Sky and back ! No1e !!!
All fedal haters here...just appreciate the game its so good...novak roger rafa their matchs are so epic...thiem is so good and have a nice futur ahead
Another amazing fight from the K1ng! Nole is unbeatable when he plays like this and especially in Australia. In the other hand Iâm sure Dominic is getting his slam soon, the guy has been playing amazing for the last two years, is just matter of time for him.
Let's hope french open is his Thiem's......against our man Djokovic; Djokovic won't mind, the man with a heart as big as the lion king !! Remember the hug he gave to Wawrinka after he lost 2015 French Open. That was the longest 'standing ovation' we have ever seen !!
Often in the fourth and fifth set, when other players' energy reserves are winding down, Djokovic looks like he's only getting started. What an absolute beast! Remember him doing something similar to Andy in the 2013 AO final.
It's more and more complex that what you said. A lot of things are involved, like anti Serbian sentiment from the Western countries. Most of people unconsciously cannot accept this robot guy from a poor and snobbed country, fits between probably the best rivality of any sport. Federer and Nadal were the perfect antagonists with two opposing factions.
At 32, Djokovic is still incredibly fit and flexible...hope he continues to stay injury-free. On the other hand, Thiem definitely deserves to win at least one slam in his career!
27:36 turning point of the match. If Thiem breaks there, then itâs game, set and match. But brave of Novak to serve wide and come to net to volley. Beautiful. Thatâs why he is Mental Giant or Mental Monster
@@michaelb4538 Djokovic is the most successful tennis player ever. But Federer is undoubtedly more naturally talented. Federer, without any doubt, has more pure tennis talent than Djokovic. You can hate on this but it's true.
Mihir Rocks Roger Federer was defeated comprehensively- so weak era?. If so, Roger Federer should also be a weak champion but I donât think so. Itâs Djokovicâs pure talent.
All these people bashing Thiem have never picked up a racket in their life. None of yall know what it takes to even compete with these athletes just be happy that Novak won and be proud that Thiem is breaking through. Yall are witnessing history and a passing of the torch. This doesn't happen every day and it certainly doesn't take just a day don't get me wrong. Remember Roger playing Pete? Aggassi? Its the same here with Thiem.
I agree that Novak is a strong mental player and that was how he took at least 3 GSs away from Roger. But to say ever is not true. He is one of the toughest fighters along with many past great players.
Djokovic's serve and volley at 27:31 when he was down 2 sets to one and facing a break point in the fourth set. His incredible winner at net was the turning point of the match. I doubt anybody else besides Roger or Rafa would have turned the match around had they been in that situation. What a mental fortitude these three guys have shown to us as tennis fans over the years and their willingness to win matches, even when the stats show that their opponents are better. Just incredible.
Yeah, just a shame that the serve was actually out and Thiem was robbed Dude can't catch a break. Not only did he have a massive disadvantage by having a day less rest before the final (the exact same thing happened to him in the RG final last year too), the line judge also had to rob him off a potential break lead in the 4th set
Man, I canât imagine Roger winning all those early slams that he won with todayâs great athletes, lucky he came at the right time to collect those slams before the goat arrived.
That's simply false. Djokovic wouldn't be the player he is today without Roger. If Roger didn't exist, Nadal and Djokovic wouldn't have a 20 GS record to challenge in the first place and might only have 14-15 rn (still amazing ofc but not as high)
Novak clown has had more than 70% of his success and records AFTER 2015, in the weakest era of tennis ever. 34-40 year old declining Federer missing 2 years in injuries, a frequently injured out of prime Rafa missing nearly 2 years in injuries too and 2 generations of crap incompetent nextgen kids has been Novak's competition from 2015-Today in the weakest era in which Novak has racked up 14 slams & 200 plus weeks at number 1. So dont type bullshit here with your last 2 Novaktard braincells !
@@hemilshah7032 Your logic is not valid. Nadal and Djokovic also pushed Roger to get to 20 slams. If there was no Roger, they would probably win much more slams and have more slams than anybody before. With Roger, they also have the most slams than anybody before, more than Roger.
@@ha-qg2ug it works both ways. Yes, Nadal and Djoko would not have had the competition of Roger and could get more slams (and clearly have the talent). But itâs also true the 3 of them push each other and without Roger getting to 20 first, the other 2 might have stopped around 15 or something, who knows
@man bat Remember you r talking about the only pro player who has been able to humiliate all the best like they were amateurs. You can't change that Fed is the goat, it wasn't a fans' choice nor his. He just became one whether he likes it or fans do. It doesn't mean that there aren't other great tennis players. All of them consider Federer their authority and a living legend. Also if you think Federer is a weak era champ then you obviously lack of knowledge about tennis. Also all the time Fed has played includes all the current great players careers so it doesn't make any sense what you said...
The best AO final after Djokovic V Nadal 2012. Thiem is definitely going for a major when tennis resumes. Most probably he'll win an RG or AO first. Only Djokovic out of big 3 has toughness to match Theim's power shots right now.
If he can regain his form / recapture his ranking Thiem, in watching video, is an all-surfaces player, which. like any versatile type, enhances opportunities 2-win Majors; he's an interesting entity; very solid player
okay everyone here is celebrating djokovic, and he deserves it, but let's also give some credit to Thiem who almost beat djokovic at his favourite tournament and beat Rafa on the way there, he played an incredible tournament.
After the third set Thiem looked like the next big thing. Even after losing this match he still was on top form for the rest of that pandemic year but from early 2021 his game has become pretty much broken. Taking two sets off rhe GOAT in AO on his best surface is an amazing achievement. Very few players have done this post 2011. Damn shame what happened to Thiem
Yes thatâs after Djoker retires and thatâs not happening anytime soon. Weâre looking atleast another 4/5 years Djoker reign, by that time heâll have gotten too old to win any slams.
I think it is safe to say Novak will not get to 20. The young players are no pretenders. They will surpass the big 3 and once they do, the big 3 will not even win a single GS. It is a natural process. Besides, the big 3 past their primes.
Ben TheKeeshond Novak has it in him to win 2 more this year. Winning 3 is very possible in the near future. The young guys wonât suddenly all fix their slam issues.
@@benthekeeshond545 When was the last time a guy not named Federer, Nadal or Djokovic win a slam? Murray 2016 Wimbledon or Wawrinka 2016 US Open or Cilic 2014 US Open, the rest is all the Big 3, and that's considering Novak wasn't playing good tennis after 2016 RG and before 2018 Wimbledon, otherwise Novak would have beaten the 2016 US Open Wawrinka, and would have probably beaten the 2017 AO Federer, 2017 Wimbledon Federer, 2017 US Open Nadal, and 2018 AO Federer.
@Ben thekeeshond idont agree with you about the young surpassing the GOATS , they cant even handle these days stan who beats medvedev in AO , we got RG coming up as 2nd GS im guessing its between 1 : rafa 2 : nole 3 : thiem assuming that your a roger fan , and that the reason why you want the next gen to suddenly raises to the occasion , and thats completely normal oh .. by the way federer did incredibly well last RG if it wasn't for that terrible windy day it was 50% 50% for me no joke and thats why this tournament needs a lot of fix it really denied us from a classic match #_damn_RG_đ đ
Rafa gets time violations all the time from referees but he never complains because he knows he broke the time limit. Rafa almost lost the 2019 US Open because of a time violation, Rafa never argues about it, he just gets on with it. There is no need to bounce the ball about twenty times before you serve.
Thiem was super skeptic of his backhand down the line and it was frustrating to see that IMO. Missed a few in crucial points and these things take toll in high pressure matches. But man still managed his game around it. Super super game player. OLympic gold and Grand slam coming soon ..
Probably the most Djokovic has been pushed in AO since Stan did years ago...just seeing the latest finals just make me really hope Thiem somehow gets back to a form where he can win another Slam again.
Djokovic fans-The fact that this crowd is so Pro-Thiem isn't a dig at Djokovic at all. In fact, it's the highest form of flattery they can give. Djokovic's dominance is so obvious-and assumed-that they just naturally cheer for the underdog (as crowds almost always do). They realize the likelihood of a complete blowout because of his greatness and simply want to see a competitive tennis match. Its wrong on the occasions when Djokovic (or his fans) play the victim card and claim they simply "hate him because he's great"
Good final. Thiem, if i was playing like against Rafa in the quarters, would have made it. But like Medvedev in the last US Open final, he was close but not enough to beat the monster Djokovic. Remember guys that Djokovic, except for his injury in the US Open 2019 and his semi- final lost in the French Open 2019 against Thiem, won all grand slams he participated since Wimbledon 2018, a year and a half ! As a Federer and Nadal fan i'm impressed. How Djokovic managed to keep up with the youngsters and outplayed the concurrence when he came back to an amazing level is truly a sensation. Sure, Federer did it in 2017, and Nadal as well serveral times, but remember the 2018 season : Federer was at the top, Nadal was dominating the clay like a beast as usual, and Djokovic was down n°20 and had a lot of personal problems. All specialists said that Djokovic could come back, but with 12 grand slams, he would bedefinetely outside the GOAT conversation. One year and half later, the guy has 17 grand slams, swept Nadal in straight sets in the OA 2019 final, and beat the most popular guy Federer who was playing godmode in the Wimbledon 2019 final ! Then he won an 8th australian open title in 12 years !!! Of course, it's not my favorite player. Of course it's the most popular guy on and off the court. Of course i prefer Federer style or Nadal attitude and crazy lift and defense. But Djokovic is the guy who really dominated the last decade of tennis, clearly. And he was the ONE, who slowly dominated both prime Nadal and Federer back in 2011- 2012. And i'm starting to think : well, he keeps up this quick speed, he can beat all the records in 2021 and 2022...
For me the most impressive thing about Djokovic's performance is that he found motivation and positivity out of nothing. Imagine you just got thrashed in the previous set, your opponent is hitting winners left and right, you can't win a point on return, nearly all your service games are being taken to deuce and you're facing a crucial break-point

Like IVAN LENDL, he "re-channels" the crowd energy, pretends they're rooting 4 him, and / or he "tunes it out" I also think it takes pressure OFF of him 2 win these matches: and as 4 the Slam count, and as a Fed Fan when he faces Nadal & Novak, I have no problem w/ him collecting as many Majors as he can get b4 he calls it a day, though 2 your point, there are many Nadal - Fed Fans who obsess about it: Bottom line is, all 3 are GOATS, "freaks of nature, and, like many of the greats, gifts from above
No, everyone applauded Thiem because he played tennis Beautiful and spectacular on that tournament! and defeated Nadal and Zeverv in his though road
IÂŽve been lucky to watch 16 of those 17 slams , the us open 2011, ao 2012 , wim 2015 and us open 2015 are my favorites so far
nole man i just wanna say thank you for the wonderful memories so far đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđâ
For me, the favorite is the 2019 Wimbledon final, and also the 2011 US Open semifinals, 2012 AO final and 2018 Wimbledon semifinals. The 2019 Wimbledon final and 2011 US Open semifinals almost gave me a heart attack haha, but Novak prevailed.
This was a great match too, Djokovic almost gave me a heart attack during the 2 and 3 sets, but when he saved a break point with his serve and volley early in the 4 set, I knew he was going to win and I was right.
@@pacifist1360 the wim 2018 Sf against rafa was definitely a CLASSIC , djokovic was still under effects from a longtime injury haven't won a single title since his back on action ( if im remembering right ) winning that slam was his COMEBACK how impressive was that.
@@badrunlucky5298 You mean 2018 wimbledon final.
@@AlanGoswami-nz9lg Wimbledon 2018 Final between Djokovic and Anderson was nothing to see besides the third set tiebreak. Djokovic humiliated Anderson.
Don't know why Novak does not receive more crowd support. He is beautiful to watch. He's likeable and has a sense of humor.
Hes kinda awkward and cold. But I agree likeable guy
Because he is from poor country, rich people fuckers always support riches only
Because he is from the east block::
Mark Twain - 'Be good and you will be lonesome.' Djokovic says, "I will be good regardless."
Mark Twain - The Father of American Literature.....his quotes are mathematically accurate.

You are Novak Djokovic the most polite sport's man I have ever met in my Life...
Thank You for your existance...
Keep going ahead .., stay the way You are.., You are simply the Best human creature and young generations should follow you n your great attitude !!
My respect to the Sky and back !
No1e !!!
All fedal haters here...just appreciate the game its so good...novak roger rafa their matchs are so epic...thiem is so good and have a nice futur ahead
The only haters here are the 15,000 in that crowd
Another amazing fight from the K1ng! Nole is unbeatable when he plays like this and especially in Australia.
In the other hand Iâm sure Dominic is getting his slam soon, the guy has been playing amazing for the last two years, is just matter of time for him.
Let's hope french open is his Thiem's......against our man Djokovic; Djokovic won't mind, the man with a heart as big as the lion king !! Remember the hug he gave to Wawrinka after he lost 2015 French Open. That was the longest 'standing ovation' we have ever seen !!
Johanna,
Thiem will beat the big 3. In fact, Thiem will consistently beat them and will eventually force them into retirement. It is about time.
Letâs hope the best for Plishy too
Johanna Mason But, he needs to work on his mental strenght too.
He is not far from winning a g/slam
Anyone thinking about the âNovak Djokovic Arenaâ here in Melbourne in the near future??
Yeah.
hahahha. Rod Laver Arena for ever.
He's not Australian, I doubt they do it simply 'cause of his titles. Unless he continues to win like 3 more or something which I doubt.
100%
No
Often in the fourth and fifth set, when other players' energy reserves are winding down, Djokovic looks like he's only getting started. What an absolute beast!
Remember him doing something similar to Andy in the 2013 AO final.
He cheated abusing with medical timeout.

It's more and more complex that what you said. A lot of things are involved, like anti Serbian sentiment from the Western countries. Most of people unconsciously cannot accept this robot guy from a poor and snobbed country, fits between probably the best rivality of any sport. Federer and Nadal were the perfect antagonists with two opposing factions.

No1e, The King, GOAT
At 32, Djokovic is still incredibly fit and flexible...hope he continues to stay injury-free. On the other hand, Thiem definitely deserves to win at least one slam in his career!
At 36,he is winning 3 slams a year.
That slice at 27:15 was just so good.
He is mentally so strong and have amazing skills which can't be beaten..............I'm huge fan of djokovikkkk
Huge fan and cant pronounce his name right
The one thing is absent in Thiem's game is patience until the end. But i wish, in near future he will win many grand slams. Best of luck.
27:36 turning point of the match. If Thiem breaks there, then itâs game, set and match. But brave of Novak to serve wide and come to net to volley. Beautiful. Thatâs why he is Mental Giant or Mental Monster

All these people bashing Thiem have never picked up a racket in their life. None of yall know what it takes to even compete with these athletes just be happy that Novak won and be proud that Thiem is breaking through. Yall are witnessing history and a passing of the torch. This doesn't happen every day and it certainly doesn't take just a day don't get me wrong. Remember Roger playing Pete? Aggassi? Its the same here with Thiem.
He will won in AO 2021, mark my words

Novak is the biggest fighter Tennis has ever witnessed.
alongside him rafael nadal đđȘ
Noo never that title belongs to nadal
Mental strenght 20 years ahead of all other players
I agree that Novak is a strong mental player and that was how he took at least 3 GSs away from Roger. But to say ever is not true. He is one of the toughest fighters along with many past great players.
Nadalđ
One of the most understated tennis matches of all time
The last line: Once Again He is d last man standing, this says it all;this says Novak's dominance!!!
DOMINANCE OVER DOMINIC !
He is a legend. You may not be his fan but you just can't down play his magnificent execution of how to be a Champion and the GOAT he is.
Somebody rightly said that - One of the few players who can put balls completely out of reach of Djokovic. One can see it many times in this match.
Thiem was cooked by the fifth. Long tournament for him but so glad to see his improvement on HC. Hope to see him pick up a major win this year!!!
He couldn't close the match on the fourt set.
He still gets nervous on finals whereas Novak plays his best.
This proved how the man on the throne stands calm and strong.

Thank you Australian Open! Great highlights and amazing match
Brilliant match....So fitting for a Grand Slam event Final...!
Such an amazing match
All the factors you need to become a Worrier.. Novak Djokovic is all that comes in one package
This was an extraordinary match. Absolutely stunning ball striking by both
On of the worst grand slam finals in terms of ball striking!
Djokovic's serve and volley at 27:31 when he was down 2 sets to one and facing a break point in the fourth set. His incredible winner at net was the turning point of the match. I doubt anybody else besides Roger or Rafa would have turned the match around had they been in that situation. What a mental fortitude these three guys have shown to us as tennis fans over the years and their willingness to win matches, even when the stats show that their opponents are better. Just incredible.
Yeah, just a shame that the serve was actually out and Thiem was robbed
Dude can't catch a break. Not only did he have a massive disadvantage by having a day less rest before the final (the exact same thing happened to him in the RG final last year too), the line judge also had to rob him off a potential break lead in the 4th set

Man, I canât imagine Roger winning all those early slams that he won with todayâs great athletes, lucky he came at the right time to collect those slams before the goat arrived.
That's simply false. Djokovic wouldn't be the player he is today without Roger. If Roger didn't exist, Nadal and Djokovic wouldn't have a 20 GS record to challenge in the first place and might only have 14-15 rn (still amazing ofc but not as high)
Novak clown has had more than 70% of his success and records AFTER 2015, in the weakest era of tennis ever. 34-40 year old declining Federer missing 2 years in injuries, a frequently injured out of prime Rafa missing nearly 2 years in injuries too and 2 generations of crap incompetent nextgen kids has been Novak's competition from 2015-Today in the weakest era in which Novak has racked up 14 slams & 200 plus weeks at number 1.
So dont type bullshit here with your last 2 Novaktard braincells !
@@hemilshah7032 Frauderer sucks ass
22 >>>>> 20=20
@@hemilshah7032 Your logic is not valid. Nadal and Djokovic also pushed Roger to get to 20 slams. If there was no Roger, they would probably win much more slams and have more slams than anybody before. With Roger, they also have the most slams than anybody before, more than Roger.
@@ha-qg2ug it works both ways.
Yes, Nadal and Djoko would not have had the competition of Roger and could get more slams (and clearly have the talent).
But itâs also true the 3 of them push each other and without Roger getting to 20 first, the other 2 might have stopped around 15 or something, who knows
Djokovic won this through sheer will power.
Such a strong mentality đ

No1e is the true GOAT considering that he has to beat his opponents and moronic crowd almost everywhere but Asian tour.
But he does get a lot of g support from Russians Latvians Serbians Turkish Indians Chinese and Japanese
He's not even the greatest of his own time.
If crowds are "moronic" everywhere, then maybe that says more about Djokovic than about the crowds.
@man bat Remember you r talking about the only pro player who has been able to humiliate all the best like they were amateurs. You can't change that Fed is the goat, it wasn't a fans' choice nor his. He just became one whether he likes it or fans do. It doesn't mean that there aren't other great tennis players. All of them consider Federer their authority and a living legend. Also if you think Federer is a weak era champ then you obviously lack of knowledge about tennis. Also all the time Fed has played includes all the current great players careers so it doesn't make any sense what you said...
djokovic vs thiem is one of my favorite matches of all time.
The best AO final after Djokovic V Nadal 2012. Thiem is definitely going for a major when tennis resumes. Most probably he'll win an RG or AO first. Only Djokovic out of big 3 has toughness to match Theim's power shots right now.
If he can regain his form / recapture his ranking Thiem, in watching video, is an all-surfaces player, which. like any versatile type, enhances opportunities 2-win Majors; he's an interesting entity; very solid player
Great match from Djokovic!
Fedal fan was hurt enough, please mercy.haha
Novak can do headstands and win 10 more GSs, nothing beats seeing Federer's face walking away after a defeat. Long live Novak!
Na. We are least bothered. Djokovic still trailing
Nah, even as a hardcore Fed fan, watching and hearing the sound of Djokovic sliding and defending is so satisfying.

720p lol thanks a lot AO!
After the third set Thiem looked like the next big thing.
Even after losing this match he still was on top form for the rest of that pandemic year but from early 2021 his game has become pretty much broken.
Taking two sets off rhe GOAT in AO on his best surface is an amazing achievement. Very few players have done this post 2011.
Damn shame what happened to Thiem
27:43 this gave me goosebumps.
No doubt, Thiem will become a legendđđ
Dominic thiem will Be the Future number one.
the future sucks
Yes thatâs after Djoker retires and thatâs not happening anytime soon. Weâre looking atleast another 4/5 years Djoker reign, by that time heâll have gotten too old to win any slams.
Legendo nasa !
I come from the future, Novak wins 27 GS.
I think it is safe to say Novak will not get to 20. The young players are no pretenders. They will surpass the big 3 and once they do, the big 3 will not even win a single GS. It is a natural process. Besides, the big 3 past their primes.
Ben TheKeeshond Novak has it in him to win 2 more this year. Winning 3 is very possible in the near future. The young guys wonât suddenly all fix their slam issues.
@@benthekeeshond545 When was the last time a guy not named Federer, Nadal or Djokovic win a slam? Murray 2016 Wimbledon or Wawrinka 2016 US Open or Cilic 2014 US Open, the rest is all the Big 3, and that's considering Novak wasn't playing good tennis after 2016 RG and before 2018 Wimbledon, otherwise Novak would have beaten the 2016 US Open Wawrinka, and would have probably beaten the 2017 AO Federer, 2017 Wimbledon Federer, 2017 US Open Nadal, and 2018 AO Federer.
@Ben thekeeshond idont agree with you about the young surpassing the GOATS , they cant even handle these days stan who beats medvedev in AO , we got RG coming up as 2nd GS im guessing its between
1 : rafa
2 : nole
3 : thiem
assuming that your a roger fan , and that the reason why you want the next gen to suddenly raises to the occasion , and thats completely normal
oh .. by the way federer did incredibly well last RG if it wasn't for that terrible windy day it was 50% 50% for me no joke and thats why this tournament needs a lot of fix it really denied us from a classic match

You driming is not going to happen.
The umpire is ridiculous.
Alas, he's French - Damian Dumusois...!
Rafa gets time violations all the time from referees but he never complains because he knows he broke the time limit. Rafa almost lost the 2019 US Open because of a time violation, Rafa never argues about it, he just gets on with it. There is no need to bounce the ball about twenty times before you serve.

Câest le meilleur
Mir tut es weh, wenn ich mir dieses Spiel anschaue. So gute Chancen hatte Dominic. Ich habe sein Spiel vermisst.
Djokovic fans-The fact that this crowd is so Pro-Thiem isn't a dig at Djokovic at all. In fact, it's the highest form of flattery they can give. Djokovic's dominance is so obvious-and assumed-that they just naturally cheer for the underdog (as crowds almost always do). They realize the likelihood of a complete blowout because of his greatness and simply want to see a competitive tennis match.
Its wrong on the occasions when Djokovic (or his fans) play the victim card and claim they simply "hate him because he's great"
Good final. Thiem, if i was playing like against Rafa in the quarters, would have made it. But like Medvedev in the last US Open final, he was close but not enough to beat the monster Djokovic. Remember guys that Djokovic, except for his injury in the US Open 2019 and his semi- final lost in the French Open 2019 against Thiem, won all grand slams he participated since Wimbledon 2018, a year and a half !
As a Federer and Nadal fan i'm impressed. How Djokovic managed to keep up with the youngsters and outplayed the concurrence when he came back to an amazing level is truly a sensation. Sure, Federer did it in 2017, and Nadal as well serveral times, but remember the 2018 season : Federer was at the top, Nadal was dominating the clay like a beast as usual, and Djokovic was down n°20 and had a lot of personal problems.
All specialists said that Djokovic could come back, but with 12 grand slams, he would bedefinetely outside the GOAT conversation. One year and half later, the guy has 17 grand slams, swept Nadal in straight sets in the OA 2019 final, and beat the most popular guy Federer who was playing godmode in the Wimbledon 2019 final ! Then he won an 8th australian open title in 12 years !!!
Of course, it's not my favorite player. Of course it's the most popular guy on and off the court. Of course i prefer Federer style or Nadal attitude and crazy lift and defense. But Djokovic is the guy who really dominated the last decade of tennis, clearly. And he was the ONE, who slowly dominated both prime Nadal and Federer back in 2011- 2012.
And i'm starting to think : well, he keeps up this quick speed, he can beat all the records in 2021 and 2022...
It is sure looking like it. He is tied now in slams with Federer and Nadal leads all-time in weeks at number 1.
He (djokovic ) will win AO 2022.Mark my words confirmly đŸđŻđ
Muy bueno
