2019 ATP Brisbane Final - [2] Kei Nishikori vs. [4] Daniil Medvedev

[Sysyphus]

woooooooooooo

 

[Enceladus]

Nishikori-Medvedev 4:3
Great ROS winner at BP from Nishikori, has a break!

 

[Hamnavoe]

Nice

 

[Red Rick]

woooooooooooo

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Pardon me, but I'm a bit of a ginger elitist.

Rublev ain't no ginger.

But the rest is true though.

So you'd forgive me for quality bricklaying if I beat meself up, no?

Let's be serious here for a minute. Freddie Thorne would beat Rublev on the tennis court. Rublev is pure fantasy, he will never be a true priority.

 

[stringertom]

I opened a Keivedev match thread only to discover thoughts about authenticity of ginger pigmentation concerning Rubylev???

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''Telepathy not working at the moment.''

 

[Hamnavoe]

Rublev is no ginger.

Agreed upon by all objective observers

 

[stringertom]

Coric is a poor man’s Ferrer with a betterer serve.

 

[Giorgilli]

2 awesome returns

 

[Subway Tennis]

Goatkori has emerged. This will be over in 45 minutes.

頑張って錦織さん！！

 

[Sysyphus]

 

[Giorgilli]

what a backhand to close out the set!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Tsitsipas strutting past makes it was one of the goat gifs. lol

 

[Red Rick]

Steffie's watching

 

[Yoneyama]

Medvedevs shots are getting more wack by the tournament. I love them so much. His inside out forehand flappy arm thing is awesome.

 

[Red Rick]

Such a cute volley

 

[RF-18]

Could be an awesome start to the year for Ninja.

 

[junior74]

Med sees red

 

[TripleATeam]

Several racquet throws from Med.

 

[TripleATeam]

Medvedev just predicted Nishikori 3 times but wasn't able to put away any of those shots. Gave Nishikori 2 BP.

 

[Cunning Fox]

Why wasn't Medvedev given a racquet abuse penalty ? 2 racquet throws !

 

[junior74]

Med finally comes to the net and wins points. Can't beat Kei from the baseline.

 

[Sysyphus]

Why wasn't Medvedev given a racquet abuse penalty ? 2 racquet throws !

wise investments pay dividends

 

[TripleATeam]

Med finally comes to the net and wins points. Can't beat Kei from the baseline.

Actually, from what I've been seeing he's been outdoing Nishikori in long rallies. In mid to short rallies Kei is better, though.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I've zoned out a bit.

 

[Raz11]

Why wasn't Medvedev given a racquet abuse penalty ? 2 racquet throws !

Racquet throws don't count as racquet abuse I'm guessing. Only smashing racquets.

 

[junior74]

Actually, from what I've been seeing he's been outdoing Nishikori in long rallies. In mid to short rallies Kei is better, though.

Well, more of a general annoyance on behalf of Med. I think he would have more success if he came in behind some of his powerful forehands

Big hold there!

 

[Giorgilli]

What a waste

 

[yharzu]

important hold from medvedev
(pls hold too kei )

 

[Enceladus]

Nishikori-Medvedev 6:4, 2:3
Medvedev saved 4 BPs in 5th game of 2nd set, Nishikori several ROS on BPs placed into the network.

 

[TripleATeam]

Quick hold from Kei. 3-3 in the second.

 

[Red Rick]

It's like Medvedev can't believe his stick broke lol.

 

[Giorgilli]

how many break points is he wasting???

 

[Red Rick]

how many break points is he wasting???

Fedr

 

[oldmanfan]

Did Fedr possessed Nishikori? What's with all these missed BPs??!

 

[Cunning Fox]

Medvedev has thrown racquet now 6 times but nothing from umpire. Gutless umpiring.

 

[yharzu]

damn, medv serving for the second set

 

[RF-18]

Medvedev is awesome.

 

[Red Rick]

 

[oldmanfan]

le sigh

Medvedev only had one BP, and took it.

le sigh

 

[stringertom]

And of course Meddie breaks on his first opportunity !

 

[Sysyphus]

 

[Otacon]

It was obvious Kei would regret all those squandered BPs

 

[Giorgilli]

wtf

 

[stringertom]

If Zedraffe had the mental tenacity of Meddie he would have a slam or two already.

 

[Yoneyama]

Come on Medvedev!!!!!

 

[RF-18]

ROFL

 

[TripleATeam]

8 unconverted BP in that set.
