so it's djokovic—tsitsipas in sunday's final.ne annabel croft was covering the djokovic match earlier for bbc radio 5 live. i think today we witnessed an enormous amount of stress at the start of the match. even though he was up against an opponent that was unseated, he was definitely a favour to come through that, he is going to be up against someone who has won the last nine times and he has a 10—2 record against tsitsipas, but tsitsipas has beaten a lot of big names. he has beaten federer, he has beaten ned dowell, but this is his first time in the final. they met in the french open, when tsitsipas got up two sets to zero and came back to lose the match. you feel as if the level that tsitsipas is going to bring to this final is very, very high, and he has got an attacking, aggressive game style, it is not going to be easy, it is by no means a pushover. certainly is not. we are going to move our attention to winter sports. matt weston has become great britain's first men's skeleton world champion in 15 years after winning in st

finally, looking ahead to the big men's final between stephan tsitsipas and novak djokovic, is therealked openly and honestly about that yesterday and he is bitterly disappointed and quite mortified that situation occurred. i do believe him when i think he said his dad had gone out into the crowds and was just thanking all the fans and there was a lot of noise out there late at night, quite dark, he thought it was a serbian flag, he said it's a lot to cope with and as we know with a motion going on off the court and things you have to deal with on top ofjust trying to play your tennis it's not easy, but can tsitsipas win? i think he has a great chance. he's playing the best tennis of his career. he's been in a grand slam final before in the french open and led djokovic by 2—0 sets, so he's in a more optimistic mind, he is less negative, playing the right kind of tennis and djokovic has had that hamstring injury, he's been a little bit emotional and a lot of nerves in his tennis, so if anyone was going to do it i think this would be the time for tsitsipas. it's10—2 head to head favour
