Davis Cup Finals 2023, Malaga, Spain

[MargaretMcAleer]

I must say the 'Atmosphere' in Malaga has been fantastic! ( still I wish for the good old days of the DC, teams being able to play in their home countries)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Djokovic in business mode, lost 3 serve points, 1st set 64 over Norrie
Serbia one set away from the SFs, Djokovic 64 64 over Norrie
Serbia 2-0 in their tie against GBR
Serbia will play Italy in the SF

We notice how Djoker is going more provocative and adversarial towards the crowd. He’s rebelling against them, taunting them, enjoying mocking them.

When he needed then he was pleading with them, clowning around and trying to please them, sobbing like a schoolgirl when they liked him. Now? He doesn’t care. He’s not difficult to figure out at all, is he?

Otto Virtanen, the Finnish Matteo Berettini, just getting started v. Popyrin of Australia. Besides the looks, the young Finn has a smooth game.

Ruusuvuori will play Alex de Minaur in the 2nd singles rubber

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A great win for Alexei Popyrin over Otto Virtaen 76(5) 62 giving Australia a 1-0 lead over Finland
Alex de Minaur can clinch the tie for Australia if he can defeat Ruusuvuori next up, Australia will be in the final for the second year running and 49th time overall,I am nick naming him the Vowel Dude BTW I am over typing his full surname

He finally learned desiring the adulation of idiots who undermine his talent isn't necessary.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oi, Oi,Oi, Australia are into their 2nd DC year final with a 2-0 win over Finland, Alex de Minaur d Ruusuvuori 64 63
Congrats to Finland on their first appearance making the SFs at DC!

Note,
Dont bang drums or any other musical instruments when Novak was trying to talk after his win against GBR ( Norrie)

Novak,
" Learn how to respect players, learn how to respect people, you shut up, you be quiet" after a section of GBR fans were banging drums when he was trying to speak after his match on court

What a hold for Sinner, after going down triple MP!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik you are giving me fits lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now serve lights out Jannik Forza!

 

[Moxie]

OMG, last minute break goes to Italy! Serve it out, Jannik, FORZA!

 

[tented]

That was a great set of games to give Sinner the chance to serve it out. Well done. Can he hold his nerves now? I hope so …

He has been under the pump with his serve in the 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik Sinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tented]

He did it! What a brave win. Too bad he didn’t do it at the WTF, but at least he got it done today. Great win.

And he did!

That's some gutsy stuff from Red Bean after being handled in the Turin Final.

 

[tented]

Italy needs to send Sinner back out for the doubles. He’ll be soaring with confidence after that win, and won’t be intimidated by Djokovic.
