Vibhanshu Bisht writes: “If Djokovic wins, he will also break another record – the largest age difference between a male and female champion in a Grand Slam held by Nadal/Sweetek at 14 years and 361 days. Djokovic from Radukanu 15 years and 190 years older.’

I’m wrong just to confirm it.

what i can do Confirmation is that Medvedev made his serve so quickly that our dual McEnroe commentary team barely had a chance to say anything. Ace, ace, winner, winner.

Djokovic again took the first point. The two then clip straight through the net and go wide for the second double-fault of the match.

nerves? Djokovic needs a second serve on the first point but quickly forces an error to go up 15-0. Then he double-blames.

But then he gets his foot on the baseline. Medvedev tries a drop shot against the man for what seemed like a dozen drop shots against Zverev, and Djokovic gets there just in time to slam it and go up 40-15.

Djokovic made a mistake at the next point. Then Medvedev uses an array of clever shots in the longest rally the game has ever seen, eventually forcing Djokovic to stretch for a shot that he airballs just beyond the baseline. Deuce.

Break point again! Djokovic hits a slight wide. spike lee is in attendance and smiles as he watches the replays and places two fingers a millimeter or more apart.

At the break point itself, no camera precision required, Djokovic misses just a few feet wide, and Medvedev is up.

While we wait to move on, watch this wonderful moment from the semi-finals.

Like Zverev, Medvedev is 6-foot-6.

Alright, let’s play. Djokovic for the service.

Djokovic speaks. He will be ready for battle and see how it turns out.

Tennis Players probably need to focus, but just for once, wouldn’t you love to see a pre-match interview in which someone talks about being inspired by Plato and Kermit the Frog or something?

We get a few shots from the crowd. alec baldwin There is and looks grumpy.

Medvedev speaks. He is 100% ready. He learned from his Australian Open loss that he had to be much better. Does this mean that he was only 81% prepared in Australia?

We’ll move on soon after this rendition of America the Beautiful. In other words, about an hour.

Better lyrics to the actual national anthem, but all such pregame singer shows really should be limited to 90 seconds.

A classic open…

It is difficult to top the drama of the last two days in singles this year. We’ll be No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the men’s final thanks to Djokovic’s tame nemesis Alexander Zverev.

Then we had the ultimate fantasy of the least anticipated women with the UK! Britain! UK!’s Emma Radukanu To win is coming from somewhere.

It’s important to note that Radukanu has already done something that Djokovic will probably never do…

And from Twitter:

Given Djokovic’s tendency to lose the first set in this tournament, a four-set win seems like a better option.

People should be excited. Mail is already coming…

From Paulo Biriani: “Novak is in some ways a difficult person to love the way Federer and Nadal seem to many, but, my words, it is so easy to admire what they have achieved. He is a phenomenon Absolutely unbelievable, actually. Andy Murray took my admiration for him up a notch or two for being able to beat him so many times. I feel like we’ve been spoiled by the glory of these players over the years . I hope he wins and this is without disrespect to his talented opponent. It will look like, well, okay.”

Any other ideas out there? Is Djokovic less appreciated because he sometimes excites fans?

For what it’s worth, count Medvedev Djokovic fans.

Thank you for joining the big show as second place today Daniil Medvedev top ranking challenges Novak Djokovik. After losing three times for the first time to Djokovic, Medvedev has won three of the last five meetings – the 2019 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo, the 2019 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati, the 2020 ATP Finals. Djokovic won the Australian Open in straight sets earlier this year.

There is a slight difference here. Medvedev has never won a Major. Djokovic, as you may have heard, is aiming for the first calendar-year Grand Slam since 1969 and holds the sole possession of the record for most Majors in men’s singles – 21, surpassed by both contemporaries Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. will break a tie together. Out of which have not retired but stayed.

Beau will be here soon. Meanwhile, here’s Tumani Caryol on Novak Djokovic’s quest for a calendar slam:

After being extremely satisfied with Novak Djokovic, he finished his racket after doing another good job on Friday night. Five-set victory over Alexander Zverev The interviewer begins a question by listing all the possible achievements on the line in their last match. As soon as Djokovic understood where the question was going, he cut the question: “I’m going for the fourth US Open, that’s just what I’m thinking,” he said with a smile.

Further hints were given about Djokovic’s Grand Slam effort: “It’s there, it’s there,” Djokovic said. “I know people would like to hear me talk about it, but there’s not much to talk about. There’s still one match left. All inside, all inside. Lets do it. I will put my heart and my soul and my head in it. I am going to treat my next match as if it is the last match of my career.

This was not the first time this had happened. Djokovic also was not very interested in speaking about the subject in detail after his quarter-finals and later explained that being constantly driven about the subject caused him to think too much about it. , which can “burden” them mentally. He has already said a lot.

Some champions have mastered the ability to open up about their goals and then go out and achieve them, and so this underscores how uniquely difficult it is to achieve a Grand Slam. The sporting challenge of winning all 28 matches in a year alone is unfathomably daunting, but keeping your head up as people constantly remind you of the magnitude of achievement seems unbearable.
