At least we're getting a much higher quality 4th set. Kyrgios having a go at the umpire to ramp the pressure up on Djokovic.

That's correct, though as things stand Djokovic won't be able to play the US Open or Australian Open, so may only be able to level Nadal (assuming he doesn't win one) at next years Roland Garros.
Novak needs to stop with his hippie stuff and just take the damn vaccine. Reading up on some of the actual tree hugging stuff he believes in is crazy.

if it goes to a tie break and novak wins it then i think that’ll be too much for nick to recover from.

shame his family didn’t turn up otherwise he would have definitely won it.

Wish it was against Nadal today, but credit to Novax, he's pretty good at this tennis.

At least Kyrgios, unlike that other nerd, Federer, has a valid excuse for losing: family.

I’ve not followed tennis as closely in recent years, but how much of the top trio’s longevity is down to a lack of quality coming through? Obviously they’re great players, but it seems like there hasn’t been anyone there to really challenge that dominance.

Tbf while people will make this about Kyrgios nerves and character, Djokovic is simply the way better player. Kyrgios only got here because of a piss weak draw.

Can't believe all those eijits were diving over each other to try and catch his pox-ridden sweatbands.

I'd be injuring people trying to dive out the way of them.

Two dickheads. Good game. Four sets with a tie break about right.

Probably should have been a semi final.

Congrats to Novak and his fans, but this is one of the worst runs to win 4+ GS in a row at the same Slam.

Nadal was dominating in 2018 until they closed the roof to make it an indoor court.
Federer took care of Nadal in 2019 and then choked from 40-15 in the finals
No Federer or Nadal in 2021 and 2022, and played terribly but beat the worst generation of players on grass.

Weakest grass era?
