Novak is 308-6 at Slams when he wins the first set, though 15-4 in finals. His four losses: Alcaraz this year at Wimbledon, Stan at the USO in 2016, Stan at RG in 2015, and Rafa at RG in 2014.

 

[nehmeth]

Need a better approach…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

For Meddy height he is a good mover and he knows what shot to play when he gets there

 

[rafanoy1992]

Let's see if Med breaks back here

 

[nehmeth]

MM… he eats up the court with his strides, but his upper body remains still to hit his shots

 

[don_fabio]

MM Daniil is chasing those short balls lightning fast and he knows what to do with it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nethmeth Yep

 

[El Dude]

When Novak loses the first set: 48-36, 8-8 in finals. Big difference, obviously.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Don Agree

 

[rafanoy1992]

Bad error from Med

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a start from Novak another Ace to win his service game

 

[don_fabio]

Novak feeling super comfortable. He doesn't ace when he is tight.

 

[nehmeth]

He’s picking his spots and. bouncing the ball less now. Beginning service game I was falling asleep as he was bouncing.

 

[don_fabio]

When he is under pressure he is bouncing the ball for eternity

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Remember when Novak used to bounce the ball at least 20 times lol!

 

[nehmeth]

He did that a few times this year too.
