So this set he had his dodgy game in the tie breaker.

lol roger it has to be said.

Losing too two tie breakers against Novak isn't that bad at this stage of his career but come on man way to throw the match.

Good call. Tsitsipas appears to be the real deal.

Final is tomorrow at 7am mountain. Novak vs Khachanov.

Also of note, on the doubles side, Sock and the solo Bryan lost today.

Heart:-
AO - Novak
FO - Rafa
W - Roger
US - Roger

Head:-
AO - Novak
FO - Rafa
W - Novak
US - Rafa

I'm also thinking that the big 3 take up all 8 slots in the finals.

Novak with Kleenex in his pocket for nose blows.

I didn't realize he's been sick.

Settle down lads, he's not even won the set yet.

What a hold for Karen. Huge hold for the first set.

Okay, who bet on Khachanov winning in straight sets, and being the clearly better player today.

He's serving now, up 4-3. If he holds here, feels like game over, amigo.

Novak is still favourite for the match fwiw

Set down and a break down.

Bookies must be expecting a choke or a difficult hold to take see it out...

And he's' now favourite.

Here we go then.

Completely hammered in that final there.

Might jump start him into a contender now.

Khachanov just beat Isner, Zverev, Thiem, and Novak in a row.

The sequential wins over Zverev were 6-1, 6-2; over Thiem was 6-4, 6-1; and Novak 7-5, 6-4.

6 straight sets over top opponents.

Dude might be for real...

Thiem really is the most over rated player, maybe even ever.

You keep saying that but I don't know why. He beat Rafa on clay this year, made the finals of the French Open, he also made the semis of the French in 2016 and 2017.

I mean, I get he doesn't have a huge trophy case, but he's not like a complete fraud or something.

This year's 9 M1000 champions:

Nadal won 3, Novak won 2, with Isner, Delpo, Zverev, and Khachanov willing the remaining 4.

So big three (big 2 really since Fed won zero) got 5, other old timers for 2 more, and young guns got 2.

I bet on him prior to the Thiem match at +1200 to win the tournament. $50 to win $600. I almost pulled the trigger on a $500 bet.

It's more the meida/twitter etc constantly harping on and on about him, was worse when he eventually beat Rafa last year and this year put it into orbit.

Still had to read that twice for Isner, still shocks me he won one.

I had some on Djokovic too. It's just that seeing that +1200 was too good to pass up. I do think Djokovic would have beat him if he hadn't had 2 three set matches prior.

...and with that, the actual tournaments are over and the regular season ends. ''Twas not the year Grigor wanted, but certainly the season he deserved.

ATP/WTA 2019: The End of an Era

5 players in the top 20 are going to start 2019 at 22 years old or younger (Zverev, Khachanov, Coric, Tsitsipas, Medvedev). That excludes youngsters on the outside like Shopalov, de Minaur, and Chung who are also 22 or younger.
