Unfortunately Denis lost, but his game is such a joy to watch and if he is mentally focused and improves his shot selection he can be the best of the next gen, his talent is off the chart!
Denis reminds of a left handed Warwrinka. Goes for winners. If he is on , he can beat anybody. It took stan a long time, before he got mentally tougher. That’s what Denis has to improve.
I love the intensity, the passion, the drama, and the amazing talent from both of these guys. What a joy to watch!!
That point at 2-3 AD for Djokovic is probably my favorite point of his career!! There is something about his roar and those shot placements, and his defense overall during that ATP cup that made me really happy, his defense was better in this tournament than in the last 2-3 years
The most underrated match of 2020💪
Totally agree. Best match he’s ever played IMO. His ball control and discipline was off the charts this match.
When Denis was basically in GOD MODE... but still lost...
One of the best ATP cup matches! 👍👍
Tomorrows game Djokovic vs Shapovalov will be one to watch for.
Great match and great highlights! Both players incredible to watch
As a fed fan it's hard to admit he's the closest thing to a perfect player near perfect reflexes and returns, pinpoint accuracy on shots and so clutch on tiebreakers. Surfaces are negated when on his prime. In a few yrs he may hold the undisputed title GOAT. He's defo been the best player in the last decade.
It also helps him that most of the tour is played on hard courts , and as far as best version of the big 3 is concerned, surfaces are always negated .
I HAVE MISSED THE PUBLIC SO MUCHHHH. I NEEDED THISSS
ATP Cup is one of my favourite tournaments in tennis...
Great to see Denis improving. I’ve been a fan ever since he nearly blinded the umpire! He’s improving on all fronts and will do very well in the future!
God i miss live tennis match
Extraordinario partido o partidazo.
Shapo is a combined Federer and Nadal ... single handed back hand for Federer and left handed for Nadal ...
He is the future number one in the world ... thats for sure ...
if you toss the word "potential" in front of "future number one" then I think most people would agree. But unfortunately, there's no guarantee that he will figure out a way to increase the consistency in his performance to get the results needed to reach that rank. His game, from a technical and tactical perspective, is just very high risk high reward, and its tough to string together enough matches in a row to win titles when you play a high risk game, especially at a grand slam when you have to string together 7 match wins in a row and have to maintain your form over 2 weeks. But of course, I will always be a huge fan of his, because this guy is a highlight factory, and his game is so pleasing to the eye.
@@bonzwah1 I think he needs to lower his risk factor a bit but his serve to me determines ho he’ll play if the serves off so is the rest of his game. He’s for sure got potential I’m gonna keep my eye on him
Great match from novak against shapo. Its so great so near comes the 8 march, to more gets the anti djokovic fans /media loud worldwide. So dear djokovic fans, enjoy this wonderfull time. On match 8 th, djokovic will be 311 weeks at no.1. AMAZING
Long have I waited
Great great and great.....It's so funny because I love to watch them both, styles so different,but Very Nice to see!!!!!!
Rebeca: But both whining, thinking they were being treated so unfairly.
So incredible!!
Awesome match🔥
I was at this match, great match and shot making by both players
Oh waw ... 10 mins is an extended highlight
I watched the whole video before realizing this wasn't played in Jan 2021 😅
this and Australian open final are the best matches of 2020
If Denis can improve his serve, I expect him to finish in the top 10 this year.
Strange some people in the comment section think that this is ATP cup 2021. It’s from Jan 2020 guys.
Amazing match
i went to this match. such a good game of tennis with such great intensity and passion. the crowd was disappointing and obnoxious though.
The REAL GOAT will be ready for the AO 2021,Great match from novak against shapo. Its so great so near comes the 8 march, to more gets the anti djokovic fans /media loud worldwide. So dear djokovic fans, enjoy this wonderfull time. On match 8 th, djokovic will be 311 weeks at no.1. AMAZING
So, just because he has a chance to break the record doesn't guarantee he will get it. It all depends on how he's feeling and if he can produce his best tennis or not. Although I'm sure he will probably break it sometime this year.
@@danielmurphy4415 its to 99% sure that djokovic will break the the no.1 record....only when nadal win the atp cup, Australian open and 1 week later after the australian open rotterdam.
Wow! What a game of mental stamina! I agree with Kommentierer below about Denis. He really has improved remarkably.⭐️ And Novak continues to be wonderful to watch play and rally the crowd. 💚 This was a joy to watch! 🇨🇦 💛💯
You can see how Djokovic battle hard to beat Shapo and Medvedev... The end of his season was hard with opponents like Medvedev. So no mystery : the year 2021 will be harder for him .
I was ranked as a Texas junior in 90's and have witnessed many insanely talented kids and adults on the different tours and events but if you can show me a better one handed backhand in tennis history than Denis when he is dialed in and mentally in control I would argue with you cause this dude is crazy power ... Novak is just superior mentally to this generation it seems to me as well as better prepared
Not a lot of players can get angry and play better but these Guys did.
The best angry player ever I think was John McEnroe!
Djokovic took very seriously Shapovalov and Shapovalov took very seriously Djokovic...
My baby did it!!! Way to go Novak!! Shapovalov played an incredible match though.
No Denis you're a legend😭😭😭
Great to see Shapovalov get to the wimbledon semis, but a lot of questions still hang over his game. Like so many incredibly flashy, talented players in the past, such as Henri Leconte or Hana Mandlikova in women's game, he is too reliant on mood and timing. Some other players are more securely armed, and it's hard to think that it won't be one of the limiting factors in his career.
I feel like his emotions tend to decide what game you get from him I think he’s a bir immature as well. Loud unnecessary come ons every time he wins a point wasting his energy also a thing nothing against comes ons ofc but it can drain your energy a mental reboot should do him some good
Shop is so underrated
Watched the entire video wondering how did they let so many people in without a mask. Then I looked at the title...
denis can't concentrate on a game constantly , so djokovic won
His day is coming though. He has the tools to take down Djokovic, and eventually he will.
That’s why tennis is also a sports between the ears. Denis has great potential tho.
Bingo!!! Biggest thing stopping him from beating these guys also at Wimbeldon he had set points but loss concentration when it mattered boy if he focuses its lights out
What shoe is Shapovalov wearing? The new Nike Vapor?
Gotta stop playing the man and start playing the point.
Future #1 vs current #1
On veruje u deda mraza🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤❤❤
Jogaco
When was that?
Who else saw this and thought denis would win
Who wins the ATP Cup, guys? 👇
@@sunflowersofinferno7904 i think Yemen is better
Yemen is the pick for me
Shapo !!!
Denis will win next time

Shapavlov really didn't like the Serbian crowd intimidating him. Now he and others have an insight to the disgusting behaviour Novak has to endure from petulant crowds (Roland Garros, Wimbledon to name a couple) on a tournament and match basis. I've witnessed Federer, Nadal, Medverdev react in the same bad boy behaviour during 'Davis Cup style' and/or team tournaments, where the support of players is more evenly split and Novak, for once, isn't the player a crowd is deliberately trying to disrespect by cheering lost points, calling out before serves or between rallies, and booing if he has the temerity to question a point, like all players do from time to time. Unfortunately for the many of Novak's opponents, (Wimbledon 2019 playing Federer as a prime example) the crowd still haven't figured out that the more you 'deliberately' try to put Novak off, the better he gets and the more determined he becomes to overcome adversity. And, the more disrespectful the crowd...and to a degree, even more than a supporting crowd, the stronger Novak's mental capacity tightens.
☝🤣🤣🤣🤣get a life and stop watching tennis watch Tennis because Serbia has the best fans in the most fans that's what you crying about
@@mastersasas4100 I hope that reply isn't directed at me because I'm was supporting Novak.
@@mastersasas4100 Oh, okay cool. Maybe he can shut them all up again...I hope. It's gonna be harder this year, so he'll need his mental strength at 1000%.
why are Serbian crowds so harsh
Denis would have won if he stayed level headed, I mean not losing his temper
As a Canadian, I do hope shapo beats Djokovic but he wasn’t playing great at the end of last season. 🙁
He would only have chance if he play like he did last year, but i doubt it , Djokovic wins in straights

IN CREBALL
Can anyone help me to become a player ? I don't have that much money🙏🙏🙏
Save my comment: Djokovic will beat Shapo
Worst crowd ever
You might want to watch Wimbledon Final 2019 and US Open Final 2015....then you will change your mind. Even with entire stadium against him in those two finals...he still won. So when you are mentally though then it really doesn't matter what crowed does.
@@darijokesar5703 I watched Wimbledon Final 2019. The crowd was definitely in Federer's favor but I don't remember them booing Djokovic for any reason, something they did here. And I'm not talking about Djokovic specifically, I'm talking about the crowds themselves because there are several other matches in this event that did not involve Djokovic where the crowd behaved poorly
@@madmonkeymcknight7535 ....I can give you at least 5 matched when crowd was booing Novak and he still won. Watch US Open 2015 Final. That is worst crowd EVER watching a tennis match...
@@darijokesar5703 I haven't watched US Open 2015 Final actually, I'll check it out. And yeah I know that unfortunately the North-American crowd also does not have a good reputation, I remember how they borderline hated Medvedev in US Open 2019
@@darijokesar5703 Just watched the highlights of the US Open 2015 Final. The crowd was indeed awful
I feel like Djokovic is so arrogant everytime he is losing
Exactly when ? I think when he loses, he is always happy for the opponent and gratulates them very sportsmanlike
Everybody can feel anything and it’s still a personal feeling. It doesn’t mean anything to anyone else.
ATP Cup shows us the stupidity of different coutries.
Why most tennis always want to cry to the ref. No dik ?
DJokovic haters jump into dung pit.
Last year Novak would easily eat Shapo for breakfast and now he has to go toe to toe with him
Edit: I thought it was ATP Cup 2021, my mistake. Hope Shapo can do better this year
This was last year. Not 2021.
Shapo did worse after this tourney maybe due to coronavirus lockdown
@@jayr2304 My bad, the timing of upload made me think it was fresh out of the oven. Surprised that nobody has corrected me until now
This kid is scaring me.
I honestly hate Shapovalov's habit of blowing air on his hands so much
Canadian fans need Serbian attitude

That unsportsmanlike conduct call was a joke
carlos bernardes always have arguments with every player. this umpire is terrible. no one likes him
This match is an example why i dont like Djokovic...
Save my comment : Shapo will beat Djockovic
@@alucardtepes5095 haha Djockovic has a lot of issues with players who have a one backhand(Mussetti , Thiem , Warinka) and it will be more difficult with a Left handed guy as Shapo
@@loganpaulrfsfe4952 haha Djockovic has a lot of issues with players who have a one backhand(Mussetti , Thiem , Warinka) and it will be more difficult with a Left handed guy as Shapo
Novak behaves like Novak usually behaves. So why does he wonder why he is not liked ...
Djokovic is a crying baby and a cheater( medical time out and argument with umpire is common
who's here after seeing that they are facing again in the 2021 Wimbledon semi-final?
