Norrie’s returning, especially of second serves, isn’t up to its usual standard, while his forehand, which I thought might dominate proceedings, needs rousing.Break point down, Norrie finds himself in the corner, but hooks a brilliant forehand cross-court for a clean winner ... no he doesn’t!
The umpire calls out, Hawkeye agrees, and Goffin leads 4-2 in the first. Meantime, Djokovic extends his lead in the fourth to 4-0, and Sinner needs to find something: even if it’s too late to save this set, there’s another coming right after it, and if he can’t recapture his form of earlier, he’s going home.“Very loyal to his team, when we see them getting rid of their coaches left, right and centre ...
tweets Mysteron_Voice. “Is that a not so subtle dig at a certain US Open Champion from Sue Barker there...”Djokovic’s ability to do the necessary even when off his game is up there, not just with the greatest tennisers ever but the greatest in any sport ever. It’s not even that he’s a high bottom level, though of course he does, more than his ability to find a way to win is unparalleled. His calmness on the big points is born of certainty, and we’re seeing that here– 2-0 up, he raises an insurance break point that Sinner saves, then another, and this time Sinner’s forehand cross-court can’t save him, the ball flying wide – by a bit – and by the looks of things, we’re going to get a decider.
Norrie, meanwhile, has got a lot better than anyone really expected because, explains Calvin Betton, “He moves well, absolutely loves competing, serves pretty good. He’s also lefty and has two really unique ground strokes. His FH is this slow loopy thing that he usually goes cross court on that means you’re always hitting a high BH with no pace off it, and his BH is like a weird drive underspin thing. No one else plays like that really. So it’s hard to get a handle on it.
