Alexa pin's private US Open moment sums up size of Novak jokovic upset Alexa poin stunned Novak jokovic at the US Open having only set foot on Arthur Ash for the first time 20 minutes before the match shortly before taking to the court inside Arthur Ash Stadium Alexa poin took a sneak peek at his stage he'd never even been inside the iconic Arena so he had a private moment to soak it all in I stepped out on Arthur Ash about 20 minutes before the actual match and that was the first time I have ever been on Arthur Ash he revealed just to kind of get a gauge of how the stadium looked and how big it was Novak jokovic makes brutally honest admission after awful US Open exit Alexa poin backs up bold and brave Novak jokovic claim in US openup set 3 hours later he had it on its feet not only did he beat Novak jokovic he won over and captivated the famous Friday night crowd with a dazzling display of tennis honestly the crowd was amazing they kind of stepped up he reflected when I hit those passing shots it was quite amazing to feel the crowd on my side I managed to kind of win them over towards the end of the match which was amazing also his Sumptuous forehands mesmerized the near 21 0000 fans in attendance they also left his opponent arguably the greatest man to ever set foot on a tennis court in a spin unusually usually even the great Serbian had no answers and when he did like when he saved several break points in a dazzling fifth game in the fourth set poin simply had even better ones like when he opened up his body to smash the booming forehand winner which eventually broke jovic's serve or when in the very next game he Sumer stretched to reach for a drop shot and clipped an audacious flick around the top left of jovic's reach before creeping inside the backcourt line he'd visualized beting jokovic for months but when he visualized it inside Arthur Ash just moments before the match even he couldn't have envisioned it being quite as convincing as it turned out you know he wasn't playing his best tennis he says I was waiting for him to kind of Step Up I felt like he did in the third set but my level went down I didn't make too many for serves yeah and also there is countless times when he's come back from two sets to love down and I didn't want to be one of those moments where Novak kind of stepped up and came back from two sets to love down that was going through my head it was kind of extra motivation for me not to do that and to win that fourth set kind of had to pump myself up swear at myself a few times to kind of yeah to kind of get back into the mood of winning I managed to do that and that was amazing I would say levelwise it probably wasn't like the highest level you know I think because I have had some matches where I have played and you know I felt way better than I felt out there today I think the way I composed myself and the the way I tactically played the match that was up there with one of the best matches that I have played there's no doubt this was the finest win of pin's career its breakthrough moment it's still not however the best moment of his career so far that honor still goes to his win at the Canadian open in Montreal in August his first ADP 1,000 win in the coming week he'll have chance to change that for me winning Montreal was way bigger than today just because it's a title and it's a Master's 1,000 title he insists that felt unbelievable today was something that I kind of thought I could do you know winning a master's 1,000 was not something that you know kind of crossed my head but my two experiences against him earlier this year in Australian Open and Wimbledon kind of gave me the confidence to go out there tonight and believe that I could win and actually do it and believe it so when I did it it kind of felt that kind of proved me right proved what I was thinking right yeah it wasn't something that you know is unbelievable like Montreal for example his public declaration he felt he could beat jokovic at Wimbledon raised eyebrows now he's backed up that inner belief he knows however the next step is to back that up he again has that inner belief he is capable of doing just that all these top 10 players top five players they play on this confidence all the time and they steadily build on it he says that's kind of what I want to do and hopefully I can I think in my past I have always had the one-off result of beating a top player I think the last two matches against Novak really gave me the confidence to come out here today and win it's something that I believed that I have the game to be able to beat these top players for me to be able to do it and back it up is a big thing for me for now the focus shifts to Francis tifo a close friend who poin has never yet had the chance to fac don't forget like share subscribe my channel buboo dos news okay
