The funny thing is that Nick attended private school and is the son of a Malaysian princess, so is living proof that being middle class doesn't make you polite.

It certainly makes teachers' jobs that much harder when kids are being told that being a brat is funny and not worthy of sanction.

 The Zverev incident where he actually walloped the umpire's chair (and foot) in anger, with full force, was disgraceful - giving a light fine and nothing more, the ATP burned their credibility there, I think

Well here we are with two finalists, neither of whom I would have wished here.

But Nick, given who's on the other side of the net, let's see your good elements displayed and go win it.

Nick began playing like a dream apart from a few twitchy moments when it came to clinching the set.

Djoko doing what Djoko does so well. That's why he's the champion he is.

An interesting point made by the commentary: that's the first time Djoko has broken Nick in their 3 meetings

The break in this set - from 40 love up - was down to Nick's frustration with Djoko's relentless pressure as much as Djoko's play, I think. A touch of pushing the self destruction button as Djoko is winning the mental battle so far.

Nick starting to lose it and mouth off.

I am not a big Novak fan but admire how he literally took no notice of Nick pressing the self distruction button.
Tsisipas could learn from Novak after he let Nick wind him up.

Can somebody unplug Bouncy please.

Can't bring myself to watch this, even though a friend just messaged to say it's a good match.

I have it on, but am finding it surprisingly easy to find other things to do.  wink

The wife just read something about the people in Nick's box having to stand up every time he wins a point or he 'goes off his head'. A lot of his complaints are aimed at that box, peppered with f words, and in front of Royal progeny too. He'll end up in the tower if he's not careful.

 Disgusting hearing him use the F word. Young George there in the Royal Box.

Just cannot warm to him. Bad for Tennis imo.

No filter the commentary says. I never thought of that but I think it's true. Nick has no filter. He just says what he thinks.

A tie break will decide if Djoko wins or we go to a fifth set.
