Zverev has beaten him and is in great form - however I feel the anger of the missed olympic medal can spur Novak on. From a matchup POV, Zverev has a great serve, but Djokovic can return so that'll be a fascinating encounter. I think Djokovic is more likely to maintain composure if things don't go to plan, so he's got the edge for me.
I honestly don't even consider himself as a contender for this title even with him in the SF. I'd be absolutely amazed if he ends up as champion.
He can beat Medvedev. Will be a close match, reckon it goes 5 sets.
Absolute dogshit from Sabalenka. Fernandez done absolutely nothing to win the match, Sabalenka literally beat herself. Weak ass mentality.
That last game was pretty bad. 2 double faults and 2 unforced errors.
Fernandez done absolutely noting to win the the match?
It's really not. Sakkari was all over the place in that bar the last 2 games. Those set stats are horrid.
Yes exactly, I feel Djokovic will play with a chip on his shoulder tomorrow against Zverev. Hopefully no slow starts either.
Womens top players are nothing specialist these days? The opposite situation of the men's over the last 500 years it seems.
First all teenage final since Hingis vs Serena in 1999(US Open) Yes the women's is a bit weak/open right now but both these youngsters look very good. Raducanu in particular has the game to be top of the world.
I hope at least one of them goes on to have a career akin to Hingis or Williams.
Her movement man, look how she moves. Her footwork is incredible, so natural. Such a natural athlete, strong as well, look how low she gets on certain points. Her backhand is a thing of beauty. Her one weakness is her forehand, it’s a bit hit & miss, but it’s certainly not terrible and you can even see that becoming a weapon in the future. Incredible talent, and great to see 2 talented youngsters in a final of a Slam!
Last time I remember being in awe of a player that young was Sharapova when she beat Williams aged 18. Then again part of it could be my 17 old self crushing on her.
Yeah solid movement and that's what allows her to hit those sweet groundstrokes. Great point about her athleticism as well.

Wrong sport
I would wager a bet that money has never been an issue for her family.
There aren't any dominant players currently like Serena, Novak, Federer or Nadal in their prime however I think the strength in depth is there with a lot of very talented youngsters at the moment. Picking a winner before the tournament is extremely difficult moreso because of the depth than lack of quality in my opinion.
