[@fwvw7056]

I have seen a lot of fans making excuses for Djokovic elsewhere (the scheduling, the sun, made a lot of unforced errors....). Truth is: Djokovic simply wasn't prepared for this level, I have said it earlier in the tournament: the Mannarino match meant nothing. He wasn't prepared to face returns like Sinner can (Sinner is with Medvedev and Djokovic the best returner on tour currently, look up the stats). Djokovic got some practice against Fritz in facing big serves, but Fritz isn't nearly as good as Sinner. Meanwhile Sinner had to face Kachanov (serve) and Rublev and already was in a higher gear. If they face again, Djokovic can win again (or lose), but todat was about which gear they were at. Btw, a lot of 'unforced erros' are forced in some way...

[@user-yv7zd6vc6j]

Finally a smart comment

[@lorenzogumier7646]

[@mickaellandry9726]

unforced erro's are forced in some way, agree but come on don't act like Novak didn't play badly 54 unforced errors, many were not provoked by the italian, that's way too many

[@Sanctified57]

Perhaps it’s a simple combination of age finally catching up with the great man, and drastic improvements to Sinner’s all round game

[@fwvw7056]

@@mickaellandry9726 Just rewatch the match and you can see Djokovic actually played a lot of good points, also points which he lost but Sinner pushed him with power, precision, returning, getting extra balls back. It's what I said in my comment: Sinner was in a higher gear. A gear Djokovic has showed so many times in his career. So yes, in that way Djokovic played badly > badly compared to Sinner, but Djokovic would have won against neigh on every other player on tour. The margins by which Djokovic won in recent years are so slim, last year he had a 90% win on tie-breaks which is absurd. Everyone who understands tennis a little knows it is already about very slim margins at the top, being 0,1% less for Djokovic on a day just results in a loss also for him.

Djoko, at 36 years old, still has the athletic condition and mental strength of the absolute top: a master class. If you win it (and by that score), well, he is simply monstrous. Sinner hits the ball well in advance and his ball trip at supersonic speed: even following him on the screen becomes tiring. Sinner visibly improved in his serve (and also in his volleys and smashes). As an Italian, frankly, I never expected such a clear divide.

[@lucaa.7554]

Jannik delivered a severe lesson to the undisputed tennis champion (for now). He defeated him decisively on the tennis court, though there will be moments when the old champion may have a chance to redeem himself. However, Jannik is a champion in other aspects where the old champion can never win or recover: he has never insulted referees, never smashed rackets, never used restroom breaks to weaken the opponent and sway the match in his favor, never mocked the audience, never used the crowd against the opponent, and never dared to do things that a man (beyond being a tennis player) should do to be an example. I believe Jannik has clearly won off the court without the old champion ever having a chance of recovery

[@santyjaco6515]

If Sinner won the tournament with this quality of game, he will be the most deserved one, and no one can say otherwise He won 3 out of 4 matches with Nova in a few months, unbeaten sets but the one with the n1 in the world. Sinner is not n4 in ranking, he is the 1st now

[@milanavujicic6854]

I agree that he is currently the best player, what he has shown in the last couple of months is fantastic, but in order to be number one, he must play continuously for at least 1-2 years. Continuity is what makes a good player. We have a good saying for that: "One swallow does not make a spring".

[@lorenzogumier7646]

There's only one undisputed number 1. People like you were saying the same with Alcaraz after Wimbledon

[@mehmetdogaguvendi580]

Jannik Sinner is one of the competitors who carried out the revolution in the men tennis by overpowering 10-time champion Novak Djokovic. He has basically demonstrated a more valiant, intrepid and relentless performance than Djokovic, not showing any break point and solely dropping one set along the whole tourney. The mobility and compliance of Sinner definitely advanced in accordance with the previous periods. He keeps inspiring all tennis aficionados and fans with his development.

[@Sh8ye0]

In Italy we have been waiting for a player like this for decades. No, since always. The last 20 years, in particular, have been really poor with satisfactions. At the beginning of 2019 I decided to watch one of Gianluigi Quinzi's last matches (for some time this guy seemed to be really promising), a quarter-final of the Bergamo Challenger, hoping for a final comeback. Well, on the other side of the court there was this skinny 17 years kid who I had heard about as a talent but had never seen play before. I couldn't believe what I saw, he literally made holes in the court. The growth has been quite gradual (more then Alcaraz, just to say), and surely he still to improve phisically and on slower surfaces, but since at least 6 months we can finally say: WE GOT OUR TOP PLAYER.

Yeah like the carlitos torche😂 you people never learn. Nole won't sleep from now on until he finds a way. Wait and see

[@Hello2u3582mypincode]

Never count Novak out! People said the same after Carlos' Wimbledon win. What happened after??

[@stefan33uk]

Well Novak would have to win a major at 37 now, which would be very impressive. The only place I see it happening is Wimbledon, which is easier on the body, or possibly the French, as Novak tends to be so superior to the rest of the tour on clay, a fact that only Nadal helped disguise.

I'm happy Sinner grew a couple of ..... One year ago he looked mentally weak. Now he seems to have it clear in his head: maximum effort and perseverance.

I'm still shocked. I love Sinner but had little hope. I was sure Djokovic would blaze through to the final.

Sinner's swerving forehand were a nightmare for Novak today. Fantastic win for Sinner!

Sinner is now able to feel comfortable when tennis gets brutal. This is a gift.

[@lostpianist]

Wow to both players, Djokovich found some amazing shots that he wouldnt normally have to find, and Sinner just a rock for almost the entire match. Great match.

Sinner is the truly special one of this generation. This is the Djoker's heir right here, you can see it and feel it with this momentous passing of the torch.

[@aleksandarjokic5083]

Maybe, maybe not. People and nike was saying it after Wimbledon last year.

[@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi]

@@aleksandarjokic5083 Sinner's playstyle is much more technically sound and reliable than Alcaraz's for the long run. He also has more room for improvement in his game that he seems well capable of achieving. I think he'll be a dominant force for years to come.

[@Diffusion8]

I love Djoko but Sinner was just insanely good here and I appreciate his no grunt tennis!

[@karolnowak2523]

Forza GRANDE Sinner !

[@orbitalwarrior]

Djokovic committed 54 unforced errors, because Sinner got in his head already before this match, based on the ending of last season. He can say what he want in the press conference about his worst performance in GS history, his level was impacted by the fact he knew he had to be top notch to beat Sinner.

[@erkkikvell3659]

Today's game for Djokovic was like 2020 RG final. There was NO WAY for him to beat Nadal then, of Sinner today. NO WAY! Oppnent in both occasions was just too good. Nadal was even more dominant back then, here Novak took at least 1 set . This dude is amazing - he almost never loses TB-s, even when he is outplayed . TB comes, he finds the way to win it. This is Novak's last season at the top @ 37. Next year the age will catch up with him. He is NOT done yet.

[@MrPanSzymon]

Even though its a highlight I thought Djokovic would win the game after the 3rd set lol Only get to show how strong he has been over the years Massive congrats to Sinner, what a day for him, will cheer for him in the final!

As a Sinner italian fan i would like to say that it is a fu..king SHAME that the final match is only on pay TV!!! First time since DECADES that an Italian player is in a slam final ( last One was Adriano panatta in 70's) and nobody was able to let us watch It!!!!

I agree. It's kind of sad for Djokovic because he built the best tennis career in history, yet ended up with a toxic fanbase - despite his antics now and then he deserves a better fanbase

This is more than a statement by Sinner. Djiokovic losing in his favourite ever court (33 consecutive victories on that field) being dominated (in history, Djiokovic but as Federer and others goat of the past, no one was ever dominated in that way by anyone, not conceding them any break point).
