2021 Tennis

[Buzzo]

Yeah, thats a sore one.



If things dont improve up to and after Wimbledon then I reckon he is done. Such a shame that injury lessened his legacy and impact, same as it has with Dep Potro.

[Shaggy]

Murray totally annihilated 6-0 6-1 by Bautista Agut.

[Scratch]

Thought Medvedev's biggest fault was consistently avoiding the open court and trying to outfake Nadal by going back to where he was, but Rafa was always there waiting...possibly cos Rafa was just too tired to chase anything down.

That and his drop shot...woeful, either far to high or not making it over the net at all. Left himself a sitting duck.

[labourRed]

Vamos Rafa. I was always a Fed fan but you have to admire Rafa - incredible athlete.

3 blokes have 15 years worth + of Grand Slam trophies. Ludicrous

[Buzzo]

The top 3 in mens tennis for the past decade are ridiculous. Not sure we’ll see the like of it again, to these levels anyway

Yeah. What an era.

Absolutely gladiatorial. Must be shattering for Medvedev.

[Buzzo]

That was epic.

Other than a few poor drop shots Medvedev didn’t do much wrong really. Nasal was relentless. Any key point and his shot selection was perfect. His temperament is incredible.

The greatest tennis player in history? If that’s what it took to earn it then it is deserved.

Some of the finals over the last few years in men’s slam tennis are the perfect illustration of the minuscule difference between winning and losing. Two players giving absolutely everything.

[Norbs]

Would he have had a realistic chance had Djokovic played?

Love Rafa, he's a leftie, with quirky OCD and that makes us a match

[RichC]

What a match that was in the end. Nadal 2 sets down to come back and win it.

[Buzzo]

Yep, epic from Rafa. Going to the fifth set. Rafa well on top.

There have been some monumental deuce points and Rafa has won them all.

[RichC]

He keeps playing it as well. Its not working !!

Rafa’s fitness levels are ridiculous

[Buzzo]

Medvedevs drop shot is ****ing terrible.

It is costing him big time.

[Buzzo]

Medvedev clapping the crowd tbf you can’t blame him, it’s Rafa and the entire stadium vs him

Yeah, it must be tough - you can forgive him the odd outburst. Throw in how annoying all Rafas twitches must be to play against.

3 breaks in a row here now. Rafa fighting hard.
