Shared record holder with Becker and some mug. But of course Fraud's first win was a 0-2 retirement from the opponent who was leading him so it's an asterisk record for him.

It's just the first time he's playing an in-form Novak at AO.

Well, I could still be wrong according to @clayqueen
My ribs are still bruised, but I hope we will sit down and talk about it more without the violence after this match.

right, the outcome of this match means little with regards to the future of tennis, but if we can't even get close matches like Wimbledon when these two match up, the manufactured interest in the sport will be hard to keep up.

@Hitman called this being a dud before the match started.

Djokovic didn't play his best but Medvedev also kind of made him play bad too. It didn't transfer on the screen but Wilander said Medvedev hit every shot really flat and gave Novak no pace. This made Djokovic have to hit up on most shots and create his own pace. He also didn't miss. If he had an opponent like that he would have had been tested more or if Berdych actually played decent for more that one set he would have been tested more.

Cant, I put in the clause the name would be retroactively changed.
My only hope is the two witnesses..go quietly into the night. @Rago is the other. paranoidandroid deleted already.

Wow "(Boy or Girl) Novak Djokovic Federer and Del Potro" is an awesome name for a child.

No I know that granted I wonder how often fed gets himself down 0-2 sets, I'm sure his record is also inflated because of that but hilarious either way considering the mentally weak narrative attached to him

The only explanation is that he's scared of Novak. Seems like he has forgotten completely how he played him at Wimbledon, where is the slice + FH combo? FH DTL in crucial moments?

He's just beating Nadal into a bloody pulp, here.

Still yelling come on. What a guy.
I think that is why Djokovic likes beating him up, because Nadal continues to fight and that just enrages Earth's Mightiest even more.
He would have w
Fed would have won his 21st major years ago if they didn't start slowing the courts down.

This in the red right now to look like it could end more disappointing and boring than last year's AO final.
Domination from Djokovic. About 30 winners to 7 unforced errors according to Jim.

Nadal is the true warrior for even playing this match so hobbled by injury. Any other player would have pulled out. Only the Bull could make this as competitive a match as it has been.

Same here, didn't think it'd be this easy, but I thought it'd be a straightforward 4 sets.

Fed fans should cut that out because we should know better than anyone not to do do since its been used often when fed won against Nadal. Ivr seen a few nadal fans though not on here though already bring up injury

True. He might not break Nadal for the win and actually have to serve it out.
