"My level is great, it’s perfect. It’s 110 percent. Stefanos, see you in two days!": Djokovic sends ominous message to Tsitsipas after Paul win

Novak Djokovic was very confident after beating Tommy Paul in straight and he sent an ominous message to Stefanos Tsitsipas whom he'll face on Sunday.

The final on Sunday will be great in many ways. We might not get the best final tennis-wise but it should be one filled with emotion. That was the case when Tsitsipas and Djokovic contested their only previous grand slam final. Djokovic is looking very strong and he has full belief that he'll win the match.

It was reflected in his words after beating Paul:

“I have strong memories of 15 years ago, but I wouldn’t have imagined things to have turned out like they have. I’m so blessed and grateful, marvelling and cherishing every moment. My level is great, it’s perfect. It’s 110 percent. Stefanos, see you in two days!"

He continued:

"Of course, you’re not as fresh as in the beginning, but we put in a lot of hours throughout the off-season into fitness to be in a good enough condition to play best of five. I know what’s expected of me. Experience helps, but on court, moment to moment, it’s a great battle with yourself and your opponent. You can feel the long rallies; we both had heavy legs. I held my nerves at the end of the first set; that was a key moment where I started swinging through the ball more."
