Asks Johnny Mack…a typical, vulnerable win by Novak. He should have taken the first set, but got into a debate with the ump when he should have been focused on his next serve. Then seemed to lose all energy in the second…..but pulled himself together to pull off the next three.
Well done to Tsitsipas who couldn’t sustain the physical effort, but played some exquisite points, especially his backhands down the line. He looks the most likely to succeed the Big Three. But as the gladiator said …..not yet.
Magnificent by the Joker.
