Fritz won in the second set TB. I didn't realize until Margaret mentioned and I looked it up, but, including today, Fritz has won their past 6 matches. First title this year. He played well, but Zverev donated a lot of errors, too.
Would be fitting if Novak retires in 2028, then all of the Big 3 will have played their last major singles event during an Olympic cycle:Novak Djokovic on his plans,

Okay then
Djokovic being 5 might probably benefit him, if he gets Sinner or Alcaraz in a quarterfinal. If (and that's a big if) Djokovic wins that match, then he won't have to beat Sinner and Alcaraz back-to-back. I have Djokovic as the 2nd favorite over Sinner, behind Alcaraz. Djokovic has been there and done that. He's been to the last 6 Wimbledon finals, winning 4 of them. Sinner has never been to a Wimbledon final. If Djokovic faces Sinner at Wimbledon, I'm taking Djokovic. Wimbledon is a different type of pressure, and it tends to favor the more proven and experienced.I think I heard Djokovic probably won't be in the top 4 for seeding at Wimbledon! Is this the begin'n of the end? "All w/b revealed" as they say!
You haven't been paying attention then. MM and I have been discussing this over a year. And most of the losses have come at the slams. Do you remember he ousted him at Wimby last year after being down. I know he got him at the USO either last year or 23.
He wasn't in the top 4 at RG either. Still got to the SF. What difference does it make at this juncture?I think I heard Djokovic probably won't be in the top 4 for seeding at Wimbledon! Is this the begin'n of the end? "All w/b revealed" as they say!
Listen, you don't have to keep regurgitating this material. You won't change any minds at this point. Seeing is believing for some folk.
I will be extremely surprised if he sticks around for that. That's 3 more years. He will be 41 when the games roll around again. He got his gold medal, I don't know what the lure would be for him in L.A.Novak Djokovic on his plans,

Okay then
It's amazing how the "Lost Gen. II" boys are all falling 1 by 1! First it was Thiem w/ injury, then Tsitsipas, add Medvedev to the mix, now Sascha who had every opportunity to make up some ground while Sinner was "on the shelf!" How does he lose in Germany to Taylor? Under Sincaraz, it's going to go the route of the ladies w/ no consistency as players flip these rankings upside down & every which way but loose! Can Draper, Musetti, & Shelton continue their rise? Fritz @ #4 isn't going anywhere IMO! I can see him upset in the 1st Rd. of Wimbledon quite easily! I'm hoping good things for Holger, but losing hope! Haven't heard what Novak's doing to prepare for grass yet! 
It is the most nasty, rat-faced Kryptonite, isn't it? At least Superman could wallow in the pomp of facing a rare glowing gem, but Ostapenko is a horrible character, a boo-hiss, a person who bullies kids (I'm certain) into handing over their clove drops. I saw a match of hers recently where her poor opponent wore the cheap clothing of a Kazakhstan firm called Xolyzxyckstov - and the umpire was decked out in the same, as a show of support.Tay has fast become the Ostapenko of the ATP. Iga be straight cringing when she draws Osta. At RG, that clown at the TNT desk ask her was she happy that Elena evicted her kryptonite.
I think just the attempt to defend his gold medal will feel like closure for Novak. Kind of like Rafa competing at the Paris Olympics.

She's a terrible advert for the sport. I generally cheer the aggressor, the one who doesn't care, the player who has gall and spite for pleasure, but she has no competing virtues that could make me like her. I dunno, maybe she has fans. I'm sure her bill for having them is huge...
it kind of figures when you think about it lol!
How much is Novak paying you again
you are relentless....................
Certainly not cataloging the H2H in my memory. Yes, it was interesting to revisit.
