Very good game from Djokovic, after the rather weak first set from Djokovic he improved and didn't give up another set. Now he has already won 3 Grand Slam tournaments this year, will he also win the fourth one this year?
It was abvious that djokovic was the strongest one and the closest to win the title in the first set we have seen berretini struggle winning his service games and that was on the set he won and then his performance just kept getting worse but even so it was a good game for him.

As expected a win for Novak, he is too strong.
Good game for the Italian and now he should climb up to the rank 6 if I'm not mistaken.
Very good game for Berrettini, this will now sound strange but I think Djokovic played a very mediocre tournament by his standards. I did not watch all his matches but those that I watched he just played on 50-60% of his maximum and then shifting the gears up in the most important points. Only last set today was played by his highest standards. That just shows how good he is at the moment.

Yea Djokovic is too strong, next up now is the next Grand Slam to make 4 in one season
which has only been done once before.

Berrettini has a fantastic first set to win it from 5-2 down, super effort physically and mentally but...
Djokovic always seems to have that extra gear.

I had a bet on Djokovic anyway to win.

Took a 3:1 special with Djoker atleast 6 aces and 4 DFs and he kinda served it all up in the first set and then narrowly hit it for me! Missed out loads of live betting opportunities though... was 15/1 or thereabouts on Berrettini to take the first set when he was trailing 5:2, and he almost looked set to repeat it on 2nd set. But credit to the Italian for taking things all the way, but all's ended as expected.

Djokovic is so strong  Shocked
Berrettini so far is losing 2-1 need a miracle.
 
I was surprised when he won the 1st set to be honest.

Berrettini is really playing well but Đoković is always a step ahead. He needs 1 more set to get his 20th Grand Slam, the same number that Roger and Rafa have.

I'm also really happy for the doubles title that went to Croatia's Pavić/Mektić pair, they are crushing it this year. Pairs don't really get a lot of attention but some games are really fun to watch.

Can Berrettini prevent Djokovic from winning a third Grand slam tournament in 2021? I think not and Djokovic will win the tournament in 4 sets. I don't think Berrettini is strong enough to beat Djokovic.

Yeah, I don't think that at this point of Djokovic performance, no one can comes close to beat him. He is a complete tennis player that's why he has a strong hold on the #1 position. The Shapovalov games shows how resilient he is. Maybe Berrettini can win 1 set, maybe not. If Djokovic comes very aggressive in the first set and Berrettini has no response then it could be an easy 3 sets win for him and the trophy and tying Federer's record 20th GS.

The current odds for Djokovic is @1.19 and Berrettini @4.20.

For some strange reasons though, I can't put a bet on Berrettini at +5.5, now the odds are slipping away to 1.77. And since is the finals, I think Berrettini will try to fight it out and I don't think that Djokovic can cover the -5.5 @2.20 spread, just like his match against Shapovalov. So I'll pass on this. But for me, this will be Djokovic title this year.

Yes it seems that judging from the djokovic performance he is determined to win the tournament after he won the trickiest game for him against shavovalov even if he won 3 0 that game was really a tight one both players played at the same level shavovalov won many games with 40 0 and its not easy against djokovic.

The great quality of Djokovic as a tennis player is that he can win even when he plays weaker than his opponent, because in the decisive moments of the match he usually does not make mistakes and is calmer than his opponent.
This could be seen very well in the semifinals when Djokovic himself admitted that he played weaker than his opponent but found a way to win.
It is very difficult to play in the final of the biggest tennis tournament in the world for the first time.
The psychological pressure on a tennis player is enormous and it is not easy to endure.
If Berrettini manages to withstand that pressure and plays at the level he has played in this tournament so far then he has a chance against Djokovic, but realistically Djokovic is the favorite.

So, let's see if Djoker can get this easy today. He's been doing regular 3:0s all tourney, and after wrapping up Barty outright yesterday for 7/1 (so glad I went for that), I'll be happy for any kind of boosted special on him getting a straight set. Narrowly lost the last two straight sets wins when he just missed a game or like the semis, his tie break lost me my bet.

See you in 5 hours, guys.

I guess the winner is known. As the others, I don't think that Berrittini can make it happen and think that Djokovic will take another grandslam.

This is the 1st time for an Italian in the final of Wimbledon, never happened before!
Also, I think this is the 1st time in our history that we have4-5 players in the top 30 ATP leaderboard.

But tomorrow will be almost impossible to win.
well you said it yourself, it's almost impossible for Berrettini to win, it is unlucky for him to face Djokovic in the final who's currently unstoppable, he lost only one set in Wimbledon this year, Berrettini needs a miracle to win, i just hope we see an entertaining match.
You are right Djokovic has only lost one single set during all the tournament but his last match against Denis Shapovalov has been very tight 7-6, 7-5, 7-5 then if Novak is in a bad day or if he gets injured during the match then there could be chances for Matteo Berrettini to win.
we have to keep that in mind too that the last match against Shapovalov was really close and Shapovalov was serving for the match in the first set but failed to win it and he lost his serve, and he had a lot of chances to break in the 2nd set but couldn't do it, the match against Berrettini would be different, but i stand by what i said, Djokovic will win but surprises happens sometimes especially when it's against player like Berrettini, it's a tricky one

And Djokovic save 10 out of 11 breaks if I'm not mistaken. Just imagine if Shapovalov breaks Djokovic at 50% rate, he could have lost that match and Shapovalov pulling a huge upset. But then again experience and his big mental advantage was the key to Djokovic winning the match. Really feel sad for Shapovalov as he even cry after the match. Because he knows that he was almost there.

I guess Berrettini needs to play high level and make it unpredictable so that Djokovic will have to guess what's his passing move or returns.

I think we have to say well done to Ashleigh Barty for taking this one and going to the final! I know even I myself backed Williams at first, but then injury and early KO just cleared the path for Barty BUT it was still an achievement nevertheless. If she completes it, it will be a first Australian to win in over 40 years!

Credit also to Kerber for getting so far!
I was surprised because she was out from the competition early in roland garros and she did not make an apearence in a long time but in wimbeldon she displayed a real skill show and she won the title against pliskova who have been out of the advanced rounds of competitions recently today was a great show but clearly barty was better.

I know doubles are not as popular as singles here on the forum but I have to congratulate our guys Mektic/Pavic on taking Wimbledon title. Croatia has a winner exactly 20 years after Ivanisevic took his  Grin This is already their 7th title this year and they started playing together just this year, unreal. I was always surprised why the did not start the collaboration sooner since both had great double results with different partners in last couple of years.

Italian tennis is in a really strong place ATM. My daughters "future husband" is Berrettini
and when she is home and he is playing she will watch tennis!

My favourite player ATM is a toss up between Sinner and Medvedev.

So tomorrow is a big day for Italian sports fans, its WW day! Wimbledon and Wembley,
and a tough day too, Berrettini being the underdog and Italy playing the final against
a home team.

Tomorrow could be a fantastic day for all Italians but also a day of sorrow and grief.
Realistically, the Italians are not favorites in either football or tennis and it would be a surprise if they win any final tomorrow.
This is especially true of tennis where Djokovic seems unstoppable and he wins even when he plays weaker tennis.
Djokovic has tremendous experience and great psychological strength, and I don’t see who can beat him at Wimbledon.
It's very hard not to be impressed when you go out on the central court of Wimbledon and play for the first time the final of the biggest tennis tournament in the world.
Berrettini is a great tennis player and his time is coming, but not this time, not tomorrow.
