00:00 Go SINNER!
00:02 We respect Nole and all of that but it was SINNER time this time and we're so happy for him.
00:18 Bravo SINNER!
00:19 Forza came out, got the break and there was no looking back.
00:23 Forza Jannik SINNER!
00:25 Jannik can be the next Roger. He's just amazing.
00:28 Novak was making some tired mistakes and I think Jannik just smelt blood.
00:33 And Italy's proud of their man, I'll tell you that.
00:35 Yeah I was a bit worried actually.
00:37 Because we know that Novak is never, like even when he's down he always comes back right?
00:44 To be honest, I was hearing whispers in the crowd, people were saying like
00:47 "Oh you know, Jannik he's choked two sets to love before at Wimbledon semis"
00:51 and I was thinking, I'm not worried, I believe in my boy.
00:54 Djokovic is very good at tabrac, so we were okay to give him one set
00:59 but then the fourth set we know it was going to end and we're so happy that we're in the final
01:05 and SINNER is incredible, he's a young boy and we're so proud of him.
01:10 Go SINNER!
01:11 A little bit heartbroken but never giving up on Novak.
01:14 He is still the king of Melbourne, no matter what.
01:17 I don't know, SINNER was just playing on a different level.
01:19 He played a very good game of tennis, we can't deny it.
01:21 Djokovic is getting older so...
01:22 He definitely wasn't himself, it's safe to say that it's not that the other guy won, it's that Novak lost.
01:29 I think we were all waiting for Djokovic to slow down a little bit more.
01:33 I think maybe we saw a bit of a passing of the torch moment today.
01:36 He's definitely slowing down but I still think he's got another grand slam in him.
01:41 I think he has a very good chance to win it, he was amazing against Novak and quarter final as well, superstar.
01:47 I don't want to jinx it, I don't want to say anything.
01:49 Novak owns Rod Laver Arena, to beat him there, it's just got to give him so much confidence.
01:55 I can't see him losing in the final.
01:57 There is nothing unstoppable, there is nothing you can do, so he's going to bring it home.
