Tsitsipas has a more complete game and Zverev has 4 big titles (3 M1000, WTF) which is more than Medvedev. And they're both younger.
Yes, but we are also talking about one guy at the moment. Unless we think Tsits and Zverev are actually going to continue this in slams.
Just a random question: why was this match played on Armstrong stadium? It's a SF with Nadal and Murray, what happened that year?
Yes. He's actually about a year youngerer.
GSM for Meddy because of his vastly superior serve; his 2nd serve is almost better than Murray's first and let's not talk about Murray's 2nd serve.
But its okay for you to bring down Djokovic and Murray constantly.
Yes. He's actually about a year youngerer.
And he was 64-1 when healthy for the first 9 months of the year. Mindblowing and such a tough year competition wise compared to 2019.
And he played great in many matches vs Djokovic and Nadal and Federer from 2008 to 2013 . Yet you give him stick and Djokovic stick then because your a hater.
He did in some, but in many others he didn't. And yes, 2008-2013 were his best years. On the other hand in 2014-2016 he was not a threat at all to Federer and Djokovic, he was getting totally owned by them, without a fight. If Federer didn't lose to Raonic in Wimbledon 2016 then Murray would probably still have 2 slams.
And the same can be said for the finalist they all played. Hewitt and Roddick and Federer/Djokovic on clay had bad matches or worse matches Nadal and Federer but you will never point that one out
What's the all-time record? Djokovic in 2011 reached 7 finals in a row (and won them all).
All players have bad matches. The problem is that Murray had them all the time in 2014-2016. In many of them he just totally collapsed at some point and stopped playing. This is not what you expect to see in a slam final. Just for comparison, even 33-34 years old Federer played better against Djokovic in these years.
Djoker and Fed both have 17 straight, in 2015-16 and 2005-2006 respectively.
I don't know if it's the record, but Djokovic and Federer both have 17 final streaks. Nadal has a 9 final streak. Murray's longest is 7.
Actually Medvedev's 2019 >>>>> Djoko's 2010 plus he has peak stats to back it up already on par on hard courts since Wimbledon with anything Djokovic has done for a year at any time in his career. Medvedev hasn't even served exceptionally well this year like he did in Tokyo 2018.

To be accurate Medvedev post Wimbledon is just a few months younger than Djoko at the start of 2019.
Djoko post Wimbledon hard courts 2011, 54.7% points won. Mad Lad 2019 54.7%. If we go to post Wimbledon Masters events Mad Lad at 56.7%, Djoko2011 55.1%
Mad Lad could be rapidly becoming better with a far better serve game.
And Nadal last 3 RG finals and his USO 2017 had a easier playing oppenent and you dont point that out. Or Djokovic fallin apart in RG14 after 2 sets and etc etc. Federer is not the normal 34 year old.
Med now shouldn't be compared to 2011 Novak anyway. More likely to 2007 or 2008 Novak. He's just really breaking through. At a later age than other all time greats, but so are things now it seems.
Back then it really looked like Murray might become the next big player. Unfortunately, he never really become better in slam finals compared to his first final in USO 2008.
He is a hater. Talk bad about Nadal and weak draws at the USO he will start getting touchy.
Did you actually watch his slam finals in 2010-2011? Or in 2015-2016?
Still better than 08 uso. Only 11 ao is on par
To be fair, at least Djokovic played really great in AO 2011 so it's not like Murray could do much. However, I can't say the same about AO 2015 or RG 2016.
Watch him on return though with the split step he takes. He starts off very far back but moves up on his split step. He's still behind the baseline a fair bit, but he can hit more offensive returns.Yup. That guy in grey t-shirt is Murray. Do you see how far back he plays on return?
Thiem lost on clay to Nadal. I'm pretty sure Medvedev would have done worse on clay against Nadal. Look at their clay result when Thiem played Medvedev on clay, he destroyed him.
No player on the ATP circuit is actually a mug. The fact that they can go professional is the anti-mug. Only non-professionals like me, you, and everyone else on this forum can be called that lol.
Eveeyone is. Medvedev won't have to deal with the Big 3 like Roddick and Murray did.
