Novak in 3... Novak got quite easy draw till quarters... And fed got it easy till semis... And Rafa got the most difficult draw out of big 3... This is the fact so let's agree with it and deal with it

Novak at his best was AO 2019 final, against Nadal at his best, Novak was not at his best against Istomin....

@vismai: Nadal has the easiest draw of the Big 3. You can’t possibly believe Kyrgios, Thiem and Medvedev/Zverev as tough opponents.

Next generation players can’t handle Rafa. Kyrgios has game but needs a good psychiatrist. Thiem sucks in hard courts. Completely inconsistent. Medvedev/Zverev are very very doubtful of even reaching semis.
Add the fact that there is no Joker/Fed in his half. This is a huge advantage. If Joker vs Fed semis comes, it could be a titanic clash. Doesn’t matter who wins. Mentally they would be exhausted for the finals.

Nadal can cruise through to the finals just like last year. He has all the advantage this AO. Draw plays its part.

Guna be a hammering... 61 60 62

Ok, I'm gonna put my money on Novak winning this match. Last time he stomped some poor fool this bad, he does his trot to the net and goes into his fake "all winded" routine shaking his head and wiping fake sweat from his brow as if to show his opponent he gave him a hard time.

Struff is a different calibre than Ito. I think Novak will win this in 3 convincing sets, but 6:1 6:0 6:2 seems quite extreme... I am going for 6:3 6:2 6:3

Mr chess ll give his prediction when Novak ll ve a match point... ??

Ito will take this to 5 sets. :P

Rafa has an easy draw
Ito will take this to 5 sets
What next?
They should hand over the trophy to Nick kyrgios?

Abubaker you said the same for struff but what happened

Enjoy Nole....

Nole, easy... ?

Give green boa??a run

Completely one sided match

How did this guy make the draw?

Wow..this guy is really better than roger n nadal in saving bp's....lol

A break here would be super interesting.

Why the hell is Sony playing Gauff match instead of this? Just stupid.

Wowwwwwwwwwwww
Unbelievable
???

I would say this again
Chung beat djokovic when he was at an all time low
That match should not even be brought up anymore
Novak is the king of ao

Go Ito

No contest here

I thought struff woulf losr in 3 cus novak seemed on top top form but this ito guy has 0 weapons to cause damage

Ito to win. Rememember a chung that beat djoker?. Djoker not like asian tennis

You can't compare Ito to Chung though

Ito's Lemma

Ito has a lot more experience than Chung so not too much comparison. Also he is one of the few Korean players still playing at over age 30. Should be a good match.

Why would somebody bid on this Japanese guy???

Why these players even play

Cmon ito...give him some fight
