We will have to see if first, if this continue as a trend, then maybe something is wrong with him, whether injured or if this is just a mental slip.

those thing come with it, especially for a very young player like Alcaraz, we've seen the biggest and one of the best players go throw some bad times before, whether it was physical or mental, those things for me are okay to happen, he has to learn from them and the sooner they come the better, well, it also depends on how he's going to take them.

Djokovic is the heavy favorite and Tsitsipas reached the final after winning from behind after loosing the first set. I am expecting it to be a longer match up and Djokovic winning the final.

i don't think we will see Tsitsipas giving a hard time for Djokovic, Stefanos is a moody guy and he will probably fight a little bit in the first one and lose the 2nd easily, Djokovic to win 2-0 is a good bet in my opinion since him winning is as low as 1.3

Djokovic in recent days have won every match on the direct set. Only match in which he lost is against Felix Augur in direct sets after a hard fightback in the second set. Tsitsipas is in good position and the same could create big variation in the odds based on the first set win.

Well it was easy enough for Djokovic, Tsitsipas couldn't get the match to the third set,
final score 6-3, 6-4.

Such a pity Medvedev had to retire yesterday after pulling a muscle, He had the second set
and looked like he could beat Djokovic.

ATM there are only a handful of players able to beat Djokovic, he could be back into
the no.1 spot in no time at all.


Swiatek v krejcikova final starts now at Ostrava, should be a good match. I have a bet on
Swiatek @ 1.46 which is nice odds on the #1.

It is Medvedev who missed a close opportunity out of the injury. As said very few players were able to have fightback games with Djokovic. If Medvedev haven't got injured the semifinal would've been more interesting.

You've got lucky to have the nice odds on Iga Swiatek, because the game result is 90% confirmed before the start of the match.

[cryptofrka]

Đoković won it fairly easily - I admit I expected more from Tsitsipas. Their last few matches were really close, which wasn't the case today.

I tink this is Tsitsipas's 9th ATP series 500 final, and he's still waiting for his 1st trophy.
He's by far my biggest disappointment if we look at the currently active players.

[Vaskiy]

Everyone could've had the same thought on the Final between Swiatek and Barbora. The odds were also in favour of Swiatek, all who had a prediction against the low odds could've enjoyed good profit with the win(Barbora 5-7 7⁷-6⁴ 6-3 Swiatek).Barbora have reached the World No.2 position during the February month and this month she reached second position on doubles. Anyhow this is a disappointment for most of the gamblers.

Well it was a 3 set battle for this final and krejcikova proved that Iga is beatable. First
two sets were close enough, second set decided by tie break but the third was decisively
krejcikova's 6-3

Yea dissapointing for Swiatek backers although I would say quite a few had Barbora backed too.

I'm one of the biggest fan of Tsitsipas before, unfortunately, his performance really decline in the last couple of years, really don't know what is happening from behind, but he really need to focus and go back and win at least a masters tournament.

As for Swiatek, yes it was a disappointing lost, but what can we say, it was an upset and give Barbora her credit for one of his biggest win.

There is a good possibility that we will get to see a very strong Djokovic now again since he can play a couple of tournaments. When it comes to the number of Grand Slams won and the decision who might be the best ever according to that metric, I think the year 2023 will be absolutely crucial. I do see a pretty high chance for Djokovic to have a very strong 2023, and then it might come down to the French Open and whether Nadal will be able to extend the miracle there even further. Given how often Nadal had to give up or skip tournaments because of injuries or physical problems, I believe that Djokovic has a couple more years left in the tank.

Either way, I wish we get the chance to see a couple of games between the two. Hopefully also some crucial games at the GS tournaments.

At least Medvedev put up a great fight against him, weird though that he can push it to the limit in the tie-break in the second set and then leave the court because of injury.

I watched Djoković against Čilić and Tsitispas and he makes it look way too easy. Those two opponents are very good on this surface and they never looked dangerous in the match. He just glides trough his service games and waits for the first drop of concentration and then pounces.

Looking forward for future tournaments, we have another two on the same surface in Gijon and Florence.

I think Djokovic has lost a lot of popularity in recent months and years. And I don't just mean to supporters, colleagues in the tennis world have indicated several times with subtle statements that they do not agree with his choice not to be vaccinated. He can still play tennis very well, but you can count on the fact that the peripheral matters surrounding his tennis career have certainly had a major impact on him. I believe he is now 6th on the ATP ranking. Mainly because he wasn't allowed to play certain tournaments and couldn't defend his points. That points system is different and actually not fair if you are objective.

At the end of the day to win a tournament you have to be there to play it. There are many ways in which a player may not be able to show up to play the matches, and trying to accommodate all those issues into a system might actually not even be possible.

Tsitsipas being an young player have got good support and can base. The years of experience keeps Djokovic ahead of Tsitsipas. Similar kind of game took place few months back in the Italian Open Final. Djokovic and Tsitsipas played the final and Tsitsipas won the match 6-0 7⁵-6⁵. Today's match looked like an much easier win for Djokovic. However Tsitsipas used to give the best in all his matches.

a lot happened to Djokovic this year which messed up his momentum, like the controversy about his visa and his presence in Australia with him not being vaccinated,  I think it really slowed him down a bit, he probably is more focused to win those tournaments to make up for missing Australian open and apparently us open too, I think it's his goal now to win tournaments that are small compared to a grand slam.

Yes I also think 2023 will be crucial for both Nadal and Djokovic! We will see a time in
the not too distant future where Nadal will be limiting his appearances to take in his favourite
Grand Slam's and tournaments.

For sure, this year was a disaster for him. I think for 2023 he will be targeting to bounce
back bigger and overtake Nadal in the GS wins.

It is not only experience, Djokovic is just on another level than Tsitsipas. I think a lot of people have very high expectations of Tsitsipas but until now, he has not really lived up to the high expectations. Granted, he is still young (24 years old) so he got some more time to grow further.

Still happy that he can still get some smile on his face after a very challenging year like you have described. This his 90th career ATP title is a milestone for him and another achievement of his bucket list. He will be looking forward to November’s season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, Italy where he will have a chance to return his name to the top three in the male tennis category. Experience is on his side, if age doesn't act against him, he will be most people's top choice for the title.

I think djokovic losing popularity is not a big deal for him he should totaly be over hatlng on him seeing how far he has became in his carreer, i think that if he wasn't forbiden from playing some tournaments there is a big chance he would've stayted number one.

Tsitsipas didn't not live up to the expectations of tennis fans, i was one of them and thought he's going to be one of the new big 3 or something but i was disappointed, and other players that i thought the same about them are not showing up at all, like Thiem and Zverev, we should give them more time though, they are young still, maybe after Nadal and Djokovic retire we'll see some big competition between them.

This was a big year for Tsitsipas. In every tournament he used to have some improvement. He used to cross the group stages and in the Rotterdam Cup reached the finals and unable to win against Felix Augur. This increased the expectation over him on the upcoming matches. Further there is disappointments and some good play in single and doubles. After the retirement of the big players, Tsitsipas will be on the list competing for those positions.
