Who you got?

 

[just1ce]

Paul in 3,ofc

 

[NSMv1924]

You can never trust people with 2 first names therefore Novak in 3

 

[TennisFan1007]

Paul will take a set at his absolute best.

 

[Moozza]

Don’t know much about Paul other than he was born in 1997 (aka ‘NextGen’). Fully expecting a bend over.

 

[cmchelsea]

Bigger question is does Paul win more games than Rublev

Honestly I doubt Novak could've dreamed this scenario up better. Unseeded opponent in his first slam SF

Novak in 3

 

[haderak]

Lmao, Djokovic doesn’t remember his first Slam SF.

He was just asked if he remembers his first Slam SF and he said USO 2007. He actually played the SF in both RG and Wimbledon 2007, losing both to Nadal.

 

[TooMuchRaquet]

Hasn't been beaten in a SF at AO. Won't happen against Tommy either.

 

[iriraz]

The biggest question is how will they schedule the semis?
Djokovic has only played in the evening this tournament but this match should be scheduled during day.
The other semi is clearly the better one.

Round of applause for Roger, he says. Clearly misses him. Lol. Not half as much as the tour does.

Does this mug have a serve? Ground game is okayish right from the little that I remember. Either way I can't see him doing worse than Rublev.

Hopefully will be the toughest test yet, since that random qualifier.

 

[POTUS Haase]

Paul is slightly more talented and has the better forehand and touch, just not sure if he can physically hang with Djokovic in best of 5. Also the Djokovic serve is very impressive.

 

[Slasher1985]

Paul will win more games than Rublev because of his better serve, but when it will come to pressure points...

 

[Wow]

Djokovic will treat this as a lovely practice session.

 

[worldcitizen]

I think Tommy will take a set. He is talented and sensible, and can play pretty consistently. He will figure out a way to win one set.

 

[Dominic S]

Paul beat 3 top 5 players in 2022 (Nadal, Alcaraz, Zverev). And it’s their first ever meeting

 

[Nole Fan #1]

When you are as good as Djokovic you don't need players to "bend over" in order to dominate.

It sure seems to help though

Paul for Nole...

 

[ballbashingmug]

Yikes, no offence to anyone, but the tour needs Zverev and Alcaraz and Thiem to get back to 100% soon, this slam has been a bore. Full credit to Djokovic who is just a few levels above these guys. I hope the final will be competitive ( don’t care who wins) but I don’t think Paul can really hurt Djokovic.
