Agreed Senator, there are several reasons to dislike Novak, but if you want an engaging final on Sunday, you want to see Rafa and Djoker tangle one more time.

Wow that shot was out and no one called it. Bad luck for Tsitsipas hopefully he can shake it off he's been threatening on Novak's serve but not able to break.

What's this match? A practice sesh??

Diego would have been a sterner test.

Tsitsipas isn't over that collapse against Coric from the US Open. Six match points and couldn't seal the deal.

It's kinda surprising, but Tsitsipas has just been #### at breaking today, he had three times as many chances in the first two sets. Of course as soon as he has a slight bit of hope he chokes with a brutal service game.

It's now Novak who can't convert break points.

He's just not a frontrunner :P Watch him come back from 5-1 one and then lose it late

Looked like he was cramping pretty bad in the fifth. Novak in such better shape than Tsitsipas while being 11 years older is why the next gen hasn't broken through.

Sundays final is going to be one for the ages.

I still can't see Novak winning Sunday, but I'd give him at least a 1 in 4 chance whereas I wouldn't give Tsitsipas better than 1 in 10,000.

You know, some of these young guys have been pretty vocal about guys like Raonic and Dimitrov not being able to beat the Big Three in a grand slam and some of these same young guys are finding out how difficult of a task it is.

The crazy thing is you have to most likely beat 2 of them to win a major. So even if Tsitsipas wins today he still has to face Nadal in the finals. Thiem came close this year in Australia taking out Nadal before losing to Djokovic in 5 in the finals.
