Men Singles Dominic Thiem VS Novac Djokovic

This will be one interesting match in my opinion after both fighters have faces and defeated their first opponent and now faced with each other again from their last five meetings and Thiem has beaten Djokovic in four of that meetings this could be a great start.

One of the good quality of Thiem is his Courage and if this would count he can surely win against Djokovic he would surely win his first grand slam because he is fearless he would play big and bold driving the ball down with authority, aside from this Thiem surely sharpen his transition skills, and adopted a lot of court positionings, he could surely stretch an opponent and willing to make a close to the net battles he can sure make a baseline assault to Djokovic at crunch time as he did in London and Paris matches,

While Djokovic is Arguably the greatest return in tennis history, spending time in sharpening his serves and training with his co-coach Goran Ivanisevic he is cracking the serve by hitting 82 percent of his first-serve points, he is a sniper when it comes in serving Djokovic will surely play with a positive energy I really think that he is prepared for this match I think the passing of his friend and mentor will give the motivation in winning this fight and that is the legendary Kobe Bryant I think this is enough motivation in winning this match and get his Grand Slam,

So my final thought will be Novak Djokovic defeats Dominic Thiem in four sets because he is in his comfort zone his return game could carry him and his proactive court positioning will to the job for him, he exhibits great timing in Melbourne he would surely be more aggressive in court positioning than Thiem Djokovic Dominates this court and I think that is the reason why he will win this match.

Djokovic vs Thiem will be an epic clash as both these players badly want to win this match, however I feel that Djokovic will be victorious because that guy just can’t accept defeat and his desire to win is simply unbelievable. However I don’t except Theim to simply handover the match to Djokovic, I'm pretty sure he’ll give his best performance before Djokovic finally beats him.

[Boris007]

Very heated match.
Djokovic missed 2nd set and again in 3rd he is down. I believe Thiem is just better in confidence now.

An excellent finale so far, as it is supposed to be. Their overall record is 6-5 for Djokovic so as expected this match is close.

I also thought that Thiem has it and that it's over after getting 2-1,it looked like he is competely controlling this match, but  somehow Djokovic is coming back, he has 5-3 in the 4th set, so it looks like we might see the  5th set.

Edit:Djokovic has huge advantage in the 5th set, leads 3-1 and looks great!
And it's over, great comeback by Djokovic, he completely dominated last set for his 17th grand slam!

[Nadziratel]

Djokovic has just broke the service now in final set.
About to win this game... Another victory for Djokovic is coming...

[Nadziratel]

It was great match, tournament...
And congratulations to Djokovic... We have a winner...

Novak Djokovic is the Men Australian Open Champion after he defeated Dominic Thiem in the final.

Congratulations to both of them

Unfortunately I was too hasty with my prognosis.
In the middle of the game I thought he had grabbed Djokovic.

But towards the end it turned out that he had not won 8x for nothing. Djokovic has really deserved it. But at the next big tournament Thiem will be on the spot

[JollyGood]

Lots of chats online about the so-called gamesmanship (or cheating) when Djokovic kept going off court. It was not the first time he has done it and to be honest that is the reason why neutrals cannot hold him in the same regard as Nadal and Federer.

Nadal has his own fan following and as for Federer he is way beyond anything that tennis has seen before. Had Djokovic conducted himself differently on court throughout his career then he would have been much more loved as well as respected. What cannot be taken away from him is his success so congratulations to him but as for him being adored and loved in the way Nadal is that is not going to happen. Furthermore for him to even get close to getting the love and adoration Federer gets - impossible.

I was right Djokovic would really win against Thiem, Djokovic really has the heart of an eight-time champ and from his comfort zone Thiem really didn't stand a chance from a Melbourne player, and looking at the percentage of the serves Djokovic had he sure dominated all of it from their match, and he even dominated 3 sets even though I thought it will be 4 but aside from that Novac Djokovic really deserves this win, but Congratulation to the both of them both player do their best and Thiem really did what he could to stop Novac Djokovic but still Djokovic ends up victorious in their match.

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, what a big comeback from him, the 4th and final set tells us the real Djokovic and this guy deserves all the praise of the hearts he showed in the game. I have a mix feeling watching the game, I thought he is feeling something as he got dominated in the 2nd and 3rd set.

with that he is back to the no. 1 rank now.

Actually, honestly speaking they are both competitive enough to win the championship but this is an individual game and only one person can win into this tier and that is Djokovic.I was amazed by their different performance because their scores are almost the same and also they are both good into that sport. They both wanted to win but only one can last until the end of the championship and that is Djokovic.

[mole0815]

I've noticed that negatively, too.
I can't tell you what treatment he received on the court when the doctor was at his bank for a short time. And when he left the court and came back a few minutes later he was a different person.

Of course nothing illegal was done and it was within the allowed range. But such things can be used to unsettle the opponent or to get him out of the rhythm.
and he managed that. it diminishes his great performance a bit but he still deserved to win. it was a great game and next time thiem wins

Congratulations to Djokovic for winning the tournament in this tough game.
But, we have to congratulate Thiem for facing equally Djokovic in this match. He is very lucky for playing this game against him and he has gained a lot of experience by just one game.
