@@ivansanchez-wk2rjDjokovic is bigger than God and Beast in tennis and has proved it multiple times. He can defeat them on any day no matter whatever form they are in. Those who watched him play all this long certainly know.
I'm not seeing a consistent game from Djoko. Or he is saving his energy to face the boys in the semi-finals. Sinner has a fast and aggressive game, the best presented in the open.
@@ivansanchez-wk2rjI agree with you 💯. I am a Novak fan, but Sinner and Alcaraz are playing some incredible tennis. Sinner just won the match against Rublev in straight sets and Alcaraz has been destroying his opponents so far. Alcaraz still has to beat Zverev and Medvedev has to beat Hurkacz. But Sinner by no means will be a walk in the park for Djokovic. And then in the finals, it's likely either going to be Alcaraz or Medvedev awaiting Djokovic too. I will be rooting for Djokovic to go all the way, but I won't be surprised if either Sinner, Alcaraz or Medvedev take out Djokovic. I hope Djokovic wins the whole tournament though, as he is the favorite to win anyways.
I can only judge this from these highlights, but this was some of the best play I've seen from Fritz! He also seems to have had some really good mental toughness in this match, which is a really good sign. Keep it up Taylor, you played really well through this whole tourney! and congrats for a seemingly undefeatable Novak!
Fritz mainly just goes for big for hand ground strokes. His back hand is weak, which you saw Novak attack, and Fritz’s lateral movement is slow. Tough but this may be due to his tall stature, but I don’t think he can improve much more. I think he’s kinda peaking here hanging around #10 in the world
Believe my words💯 , to beat him is a dream of players to beat this man the greatest of all time🏆 Mr. Novak Djokovic ❤ he's unbeatable in tennis 🎾 ,💯my one of the fav athletes of all time
Djokovic never seemed in danger of losing but that effort by Fritz was something to behold. The guy gave maximum effort right up until the final point, which is not always the case with some players.
This was an awesome match for Fritz I thought, I thought he played a lot more mature and really went for it, I think this is making all the players better!
For anyone wondering why they spoil it in the thumbnail, it’s because they want you to pay to watch it live. They spoil on purpose for business reasons
Fritz played outta his mind *just to HANG* with Novak but not beat him. Think about that. Taylor played his best tennis of his life vs. Novak who wasnt even 100% himself and he still.won anyway. That is ridiculous!
You don't have to be a fan of djokovic to understand he's the goat. My favorite player is Nadal and will always be. But the truth is . Djokovic is the best ever.People always try to find excuses. Well there is no excuses. Accept it . That's all.Hope he keeps winning. Hi to all tennis world
Meu Deus Djoko você é o máximo. Quando você ganha eu fico tão feliz q parece que eu ganhei na lotéria só ,você e nota máxima ................ Brasil te. Ama❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s great to see the technology grow where they no longer need linesman. That was an always imperfect time consuming with challenges and complaints. Now the system is perfect and with less people on court it’s much cleaner. Fantastic progress!
I agree, it's better for the players obviously.... But I kind of liked the line-umpires because they make mistakes sometimes and then the player challenges and there is that kind of suspense that gets everyone going, especially if the score is about even... But I agree, the new technology is for the better for tennis
@@vuk8315 Definitely added some suspense, but not the right kind. Line umps have caused players to have to replay (and lose) points that they would have originally won. And that can affect the outcome of an entire match.
@@TheGreatDudist I agree, completely... The new technology is definitely for the better, I was just saying that there at least won't be anymore "drama" or "suspense" in that regard, but everything else, you are completely right...
AO, both players deserve to be on the title pic. It is a question of equal respect to both players who made this a match. Show that respect to both players please.
@@luis-yx6jz the first game of the match was more than 20 mins on fritz's serve and from then on he was not able to quickly close out his serve games and hence the long duration for Djokovic to finally break his serve.
Americans in the comments are very sensitive... Fritz got beaten by a better player with more endurance...The first game kept going on and on and that set the tone for the match...
Djoko a fait le job, il est monstrueux physiquement et mentalement... à son âge c'est un géant du tennis ! Aucun petit jeune ne peut lui résister sauf, peut-être, Alcaraz ? RDV en finale ?
Fritz stopped attacking floater balls and stretch defensive scramble plays from Novak..Those are the only real chances you get against him..forcing him to move at the limit constantly while playing the net to cut of time..Good win for Novak to recognize Fritz couldn't maintain the level and recognize what he did in the 1st and 2nd set was working.
Fritz needed to channel Federer in those moments. Although couldn't defeat Nole in 5-sets since 2012, Fed could regularly achieve wins in best of 3 by attacking that way.
Against Djokovic you gotta take your chances. That 6-5 game in the first set was the turning point. Had he won that first set, he would have been two sets to love up. Clutchness and mental strength again from Novak is insane.
Proud of fritz, great playing and composure. I hope he continues to strengthen his serve and analyze serve strategy a bit more. More intention with each serve for maximum offense. If his service games were stronger with more momentum it would put even more pressure on the opponent with his incredible return game (similar to Agassi). Also would like to see him continue to work on his movement, his stamina but more importantly his explosiveness. You use this to come in and finish the points, but more importantly it’s a strong powerful first step you make when you are changing directions from a split step. If he cleans up this footwork a bit I believe he could continue to improve his court coverage and put more pressure on opponents to go for more which would mean more unforced errors. His grounds strokes are so good off both sides. The improvements are showing and I believe he can be top 5 with continued growth this year. Well done Taylor, onward.
I am in shock at what Djokovic is doing at his age. He is actually IMPROVING. Yes, I think this nearly 37 year old version of Djoker, would beat himself at 27; which is quite a ridiculous proposition, but it certainly appears that way as he is so incredibly dominant in Majors. At 37 Bjorn Borg, McEnroe, Lendl...you pick'em...they'd be looking for adult diapers. This is a new era, and Rafa might come back and win a couple more before he's through, and Roger did pretty good as he aged; but nothing like what Djokovic is doing.
Fritz ... and any challengers of Djokovic ... have to realize what they are up against. These players just haven't made the commitment and sacrifices that Djokovic has made. Sure, they will be stars and millionaires. But if they want to beat him, they will have to have a level of dedication that is all encompassing. They will have to have intelligence and focus and discipline. It's not enough to have a good day on court ... a good day on court may get them one set. they have to have all the training and preparation before they even get on court too.
I'm not seeing a consistent game from Djoko. Or he is saving his energy to face the boys in the semi-finals. Sinner has a fast and aggressive game, the best presented in the open.
Yes true - Sinner has a great chance against him. But then again it's natural for Novak to not be as dominant against younger opponents as the guy is a human not a machine. It's just he has been so consistent at GS for so long we forget he is human after all ....
*TOTALLY G.O.A.T.!* 24 Grand Slams (10 Australian Open, alien stuff; also year 2023 dominated with 3 Grand Slams and the ATP Finals), 40 ATP Masters and 7 ATP Finals (#1 for +400 weeks). Go, Djoker, the best tennis player of all times!
Seriously, the US Open yt would make their extended highlights 20 something minutes long because it extended from the previously posted 5-8 minute highlights
When asked about Novak's injury during their third round match in 2021, Taylor stopped short of accusing his opponent of faking his injury. His response was "If he was really, really injured, he wouldn't have kept playing," Fritz told reporters. Pretty sure it still haunts him.
Fritz played well. But not converting either of the 2 break points in 1st set was a big blunder from him. Once Novak took it to the tiebreaker and won the 1st set, there was always going to be only one possible outcome.
Djokovic plays so much better in cooler/night matches. Look at sets 3 and 4... I bet you they're gonna put him in day match for semis. They seem to be trying to force him into day matches as some sort of "punishment" for him having some sort of "advantage" for playing night matches all these years.
¡Grande Maestro Nole! ¡Qué maravilla de tenis nos permites disfrutar! Eres el más grande del tenis de todos los tiempos. Difícilmente podrán igualarte alguna vez.
Djokovic is GOAT! Used to be Roger, but after these performances, amazing shot selection, stamina, and knowing when to win the BIG points. Fun match to watch.
Dear AO, Please ignore anyone crying online in the comments section because they couldn't be bothered to watch the actual match if all they cared about was the suspense of finding out the winner rather than snippets of great tennis. Keep it up.
Fritz, Melvedev, Zverev, Tsisipas, Ruvleb... también los aprecio porque no celebran humillando al oponente. Lo que es Shelton y Alcaraz celebran como si no hubieran conocido un buen punto. Nole, te faltan 2 games. Dios te ayude a ganar ❤❤❤
fritz is a great player, he did really well with what he has, but he needs work on his forehand. Whenever he went forehand line it looked too loopy and kept coming center, he needs to be able to flatten that out for a winner. Backhand is top shelf though
People asking AO to not put winners thumbnail, but dude cmon if you care so much about spoiler you would've watched the game live and not let youtube recommend the highlights. Imagine AO just put a whole bunch vids without player portraits, it will be dull and harder to search games from the past.
I watched the whole game, this highlights do not nearly show the intensity of this game. Both games 1 of sets 1 and 2 lasted over 17 minutes, going deuce and back. Mostly all games had deuce on those sets. Djoko was 0 from 18 on break attempts in first 2 sets. It was a beauty to watch Fritz recover all of those break points. Eventually Djoko broke him to pieces, but it was by far hes best match against him
If there was a absolute ranking system just for the grand slams, then Djokovic will be #1 and the next best player will be #10. All these players (the likes of Fritz, Sinner, Rublev, Medvedev, Zverev) play their life's best tennis against Novak but still lose to him in the long format matches. Then they are scratching their heads thinking "what did I do wrong". They just do not realize that they are just playing the style of tennis that Novak likes.
Dear Aussie Open media team, if you could avoid spoiling the videos by putting the winners in the thumbnails, that would be fantastic
They didn’t do it with Shelton vs Mannarino
I agree, but we all knew the GOAT wasn’t losing
The score is all over the internet.
For real
They don’t always do it
As long as Fritz stays healthy, he should have a good long career ahead of him.
