2023 USO Mens Final Djokovic V Medvedev

I'm not big on this, but I have most of my green on Daniil.

Med needs to start getting first serves in

he looks like he's ready to send out an SOS, but he can't stand losing.

I mean the overall record including Court

If he retires you win if you've laid him?

at least with Med being on the other side, you know Novak isn't doing heroics because he respects Daniil too much for that. But that's not to say he can't get his powers back from the magic potion.

if this is an act, it's a good one, even for him.

The magic sponge will sort him

Novak cares about Court's record as much as Miroslav Klose cares about Marta's top goalscorer record in the World Cup.

I think he does care Samuel

The all time record holder

And to do it in the era he was in is extra special

WOW

WOW

WOW

WOOOOOOOOW

Point of the tournament !!! UNREAL !

This is something the media made up.
Even Serena shouldn't have cared about what Court did, Novak even less so.
But only he would know. And he would only give you an honest answer behind closed doors.

This is nuts!

Ace Novak? I think so

Unreturnable, okay

df coming?

Novak set point to go 2-0 and at start odds!

lame ending

Medvedev rope-a-doped.

trainer Daniil!

Novak playing for the cameras

I suppose Samuel, he's the greatest full stop in my eyes no debate to be had

Every little thing he does is magic!

but I hope he surpasses 24 so we can all be done with silly Court vs Djokovic debate again (one of my biggest peeves in tennis, JM will know)

*pet peeves

maybe Med will do the sulk retirement (like he did in Astana).

Is Margaret Court actually here watching? Every Z lister in the world seems to have turned up.

Djokivic's gamesmanship has worked again. Feigning he's tired, dodgy leg and Medvedev has fallen for it. Better actor than Laurence Olivier

Don't think Daniil has fallen for it at all, market loving it though

maybe not fallen for it, but it can still play mind games with you and annoy you.

The Novak extra noises on big points probably put him off, netting the SP down was classic

Will Novak win the one thing missing from his collection... that gold medal...

Is there a movie where Serbia overcomes Russia? If last night was Rocky IV, I'm trying to figure out what this is.

Medvedev definitely hasn't been at the same level though as his heroics in the QF and SF. In set 2 he constantly seemed to be right about to go into the ascendancy but he kept killing his own momentum with a mugged putaway or burying it in the net.

He can't, he can't, he can't stop mugging.

Will Novak win the one thing missing from his collection... that gold medal...


The Olympics will always belong to Muzza!

(and Bebe)

and Pica!

He's edging closer

Djoko still has one Olympics record that's hard to beat: most losses in single's competition.

If I ever lose my faith in Novak. I'll have to stop gambling.

Medvedev fav now, but still looks quite big, tbh.

Hope you didn't get stuck in Des

I thought you'd run out of them Des.

Daniil's about to turn on the red light. Walk the New York streets for money, he don't care if it's wrong or right

he always has us wrapped around his finger.

what a jerk Goran is getting broken like that!

Time to start feigning again

Uh me back, uh me back

No, I didn't get involved very much. I've seen the playbook too often, we all have. i think.

100% Des ! Pleased to hear it !

It's Novak's destiny to be the KING OF PAIN!

thanks mate, glad you got on the right side of your arb as well.

SHUT UP DAVID LAW!!!

he's a demolition man.

Did I see that right earlier just after the 2nd set there was 2.5 Mill wanting to lay Djok.? Are these usual amounts ? Think he was 1.23 at the time.

1.9    £99.72        £14,980.91
1.91            £730.63
1.92    £14.57        £3,424.40
1.93            £4,878.22
1.94    £106.19        £4,995.99
1.95            £7,630.56
1.96            £3,335.24
1.97            £5,059.13

Medvedev bets

it would be OK on any other day.

it's not usual amount. There's a mega rich person who loves to bet on Grand Slam finals and cricket.

Novak serve this out and you'll be walking on Fields of Gold

Thanks, I thought I was seeing things for a minute.

Will there be Djokovic 24 banners in Jack Bauer style on twitter 5 mins from now?

I can't confirm the amount you saw, but they're huge. This guy has won his previous crazy bets on here, think today is his first loss that I know of.

unless he got matched at 1.2 early in the 2nd and greened out some of it when Novak touched evens.

Just the best

(I've run out of Sting puns)

They can't deal with this geezer.

idemo nole !!!

Yes it was Deffo there, 2.6 Mill, didn't last longer than about 30 seconds I would say, bad call for someone.

Should have been 25

you would have been in doo doo doo da da da for sure.

Caramba gets the best one in at the death

Bring on the night. I think my supply of Sting puns is just about done.

Matthew first to get the hug !!

I had to get some sort of revenge for the double!

yes, nice one.

27 if you include wimbers 2020 & AUO 2022

1.9

Med is So lonely.

The goat keeps going strong, have to say didnt expect 3-0 after he was looking knackered through second set. Great win again by djork.

Fed and Nadal now further behind the true great

WD to all who had the guts to lump on at evens or so.

GOAT race market settled.

how many will he get to ? that's the question !

So Djoko was one set away from the Grand Slam. Although no guarantees he would have gone on to win the USO had he won Wimbledon. But Wimbledon was the one I was most convinced he was gonna win. Gonna be hard to do it from here with Carlos getting better year after year and gradually Father Time is putting a dent in Novak year after year, even if he is still finding ways to win.

The crowd no-selling Daniil's joke!

but he finally won them over like he always does with his speeches. If he wants to get booed he gets it done easily, if he wants their love he knows how to get that too.

His real goal is probably something nuts like 28. It transcends sport though. It's about him saying there are no defined rules on what a human being can do, age is an abstract concept. Intensity of purpose is everything.

He could easily be on 28 now but for:

2020 no wimbers
2020 USO disq
2022 AUO no vax
2022 USO no vax

I reckon this could be it.
He knows he's out of reach now.

Speeches have been lots of fun this year.
Rybakina/Sabalenka Aussie Open
Novak/Carlos Cincy
Daniil/Novak US Open
Sabalenka "attacking the Porsche" in Stuttgart was good stuff too.

Andy Roddick in the house !!

Fair play Novak - beat his bogeyman to reach this pinnacle, hats off...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5ssIRObAAASTAU?format=jpg&name=small
what could have been!

4 sets rather than 3.

This notion that Novak was not going to get re-energised or down tools baffles me. Agree with you Wes. Be surprised if he lost, even had it gone 1-1. Daniil not exactly known for being a marathon man himself. Market just got brutally sold goods, again. Never seems to learn!

I think he could win at least two next year along with the gold

Wimbledon he’ll want to tie Fed in my opinion

He can play another 3 years if he wants.
Only Carlos & possibly Medvedev look remotely capable of beating him at the Slams.

feds 8 wimbledons is on his mind. he wants to equal that at least. he will surely win another one. only him and carlos can actually do well there. the rest are nowhere.
