Oh snap, Fed vs Novak tomorrow.

Also Cilic / Khachanov.

Hopefully be a good competitive match, although I think Djokovic will be too much and win in 3.

It’s Thiem the most over rated player in the world not Cilic in the other one.

Fed played a great match yesterday but I don’t see him beating Novak. Djokovic in 2 close sets.

The problem for Roger these days is that he tends to have a wacky and weird service game every set. Djokovic will pounce on that and break him.

He gets away with it against every other player not named Rafa or Novak.

Whoops--

I space-cased the line up; it's Thiem/Khachanov, then Fed/Novak.

Khachanov looking good so far, winning the first set 6-4.

Yeah, my bad. Novak beat Cilic after Marin took the first set.

Also my bad on putting the Sock post in the GOAT thread. Whoops.

Khachanov smoked Thiem. He could win this tournament the way he's playing. Might wanna change the name of this thread to 2019: The Year of Kachanov.

Nadal will win the French and Djokovic will probably win at least 2 of the other 3. But I think next year Kachanov may become the second best player in the game.

I think Coric beat Fed twice this year. Between El Shapo, Zverev, Chung, Coric, Khachanov, and Thiem, maybe someone young will actually bink one in 2019.

Thiem beat Nadal on clay in a M1000, but couldn't get it done in the French.

This is the dodgy service game I was talking about. He always has one in a set.

Lots of long service games in this first set, but no breaks.

Currently at 5-4 Novak, Fed about to serve to try to keep it even.

For those not watching, the breaker had a handful of mini-breaks, ultimately leading up to Fed having the first set point as he received serve 5-6.

Of course Novak GOATS it and wins his 2 serves, then gets the mini break to take it 8-6.

He's young, had all the tools, and is tall. Him and Zverev both have the height to get the monster serve, but can still move around the court with a complete game, sort of like Cilic rather than a Raonic/Isner type guy.

That's better.

Incredible that he's approaching 40 and still able to compete.

Big 3 will take them all down again, with each of them winning 1 or 2 a piece.

Btw, thx Feld & others for updates. I don't watch a ton of non-GS tournaments, and don't need a ton of updates, but the amount in here is cool.

By olds I meant Roger, Rafa and Novak.

The three of them are just so much better than the rest.

Djokovic 2 break points at 4-4 in the 3rd.

Fed saved to deuce.

Roger wins 4 points in a row, while Novak throws his usual tantrum.

Fed holds...5-4 in the 3rd. I thought Fed was done there.
