The Balkan Brothers!

Very good off the court, there will be no gifts for a master 1000 final...

The two protagonists having already played 13 matches, they also know each other by heart on the court. Guess who's leading? Djoko, 13 to 0 😮. It's crazy when you think about it. Not a single defeat. The cause ? The extra-terrestrial level of Djoko of course, but also the match up. However, we want to believe in the aesthete, don't we? He finished the season with a bang with 3 victories out of a top 10 in 3 tournaments. I also notice that he is not playing in Sofia, which means that this will be his last match of the season. And then when you've lost 13 times in a row, what do you have to lose... Absolutely nothing. Nada. So a lot of less pressure to approach a final! On the game side, the Bulgarian was good at serving but that's without taking into account the quality of the return from the snarky Serbian. The forehand returns at the end of the course on the tie side hurt Rublev. Not only do you lose the point, but above all, it screams 😅. His now traditional backhand slices also don't tend to bother Djoko, unless he actually has a little back pain. In short, a final is played in the head, and this little extra confidence and enthusiasm that he has at the moment, and which allowed him to pull off a dream tie-break in the last set against Tsitsipas, that makes me thinking that maybe we can find value somewhere. Even though, we all agree, even if Djoko is not playing his best tennis at the moment, it's a Master 1000 final and it's Djokovic...
