Nadal is hitting really weak at the moment and gives Medvedev many chances to attack.
True better depth back then tooBaghdatis and Philippoussis.
Nadal is a beast on USO hardcourt. I really wish Fed got far enough to face him at least once at USO.
Well.....true!He's not just a bit better...
Not prime level, but better than in the semifinals so far.What a ROS on 30-30. @StrongRule Nadal is very good on the return roday, isn’t he?
Or anytime after 2008 Wimby imo.Yeah, fed wasn’t beating Rafa here!
The plan was to outgrind Rafa I guess but he’s not buying this.What an embarrassing display. Med would lose if he played better, but what is he even trying to do here? Zero gameplan. Just content to be in the final.
Was that the final nail???
Yeah, fed wasn’t beating Rafa here!
Too timid and too safe from Med. Needs to go full Russian to win this.Rafa has been very good since halfway through the first set. Daniil never got to the level he needed to be at.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Medvedev do very well at the AO 2020.
He should have a lot of positives to take from this summer.
Likely so, but we’ll see!Was that the final nail???

I wish Rafa got in the finals 05-09Yeah, fed wasn’t beating Rafa here!
You should go check out Fed's slam opponents during the first half of his career.Nadal always gets these easy majors. Federer always has to go through a prime all time great while Nadal gets bums like Medvedev and Anderson. Can you imagine if he had Medvedev in the Wimbledon final.
He is a tactician too.
