Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4052375, member: 26"] It would not have surprised me if Novak was mentally and/or physically tired. While Daniil was rolling thru each match, Novak was losing the first set. Then in the semi's, he had a grueling 5 set match against Zverev. Medvedev is a human backboard and many of Novak's shots (or at least "some") would have been winners against other opponents. Djokavic also made numerous unforced errors - unusual for him. Maybe it was mental fatigue, physical fatigue, or maybe it was the enormity of the moment. Whatever the reason, not a 5-set thriller final, but incredible win for Medvedev. It was a very compelling US Open all the way around. [/QUOTE]
