2019 Cincinnati SF - [1] Novak Djokovic vs [9] Daniil Medvedev

[Sambuccashake]

Anemic f*cking Russian Simonlike drone.

No thank you

 

[hipolymer]

It’s a thing called matchups. Med and RBA give Djokovic fits.

Fedal fans are annoying.

Match up issue

5 aces vs. Rafal
20 aces vs. Djoke

Chance for a double Golden Masters. He won’t have a better chance ever to get it again.

Well, he ran into a red hot Medvedev. Plus, Nole is still reeling from Wimbledon I'd think. I am sure he'll get another chance to get the double golden Masters. Never say never.

I just enjoyed the match. Really good match.

 

[TheAssassin]

Medvedev winning me over for sure. Major congratulations to him.

When it comes to Novak, good enough preparation for New York I think. Let the Project La decimoseptima begin...

 

[GabeT]

What happened?

 

[Harry_Wild]

Medvedev defeats the defending champion Djokovic!

 

[Hamnavoe]

Well that was a cracking match.

for Daniil. Super stuff from 3-3 in the second onwards. Looking forward to a big tournament final where there's two guys I really like tomorrow.

Huge second serves on Tennis Elbow are the thing to do.

 

[NoleFam]

He needs Vajda always.

Just can't seem to keep his foot on the gas in BO3 this year. You can get away with it in BO5 but not BO3.

 

[Sephiroth]

Funny enough that dude should've bombed first serves on second serves when he had 2 CPs lol needed to take it by the balls

 

[Zara]

What happened in Montreal though against Nadal? He was so plain and simple in that match. Seemed a lot more pumped up here.

 

[MichaelNadal]

What's epic is how Medvedev said in January that Novak was beatable and he could take it to him.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

What happened?

Goatvedev happened.

 

[mightyrick]

Here we go, a young player plays well and he’s called the future world number 1. Medvedev to win the CYGS in 2020 ?

It's much more than that. If you don't see a difference between Medvedev and Aliassime/Shapovalov/Zverev/Tsitsipas, then you aren't looking close enough.

 

[hipolymer]

What happened in Montreal though against Nadal?

Nothing; any player not named Djoker ****s his pants against Nadal
It's just one of those things

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Fun match. This can help Medvedev's career so much. What a performance, well deserved winner and I hope he beats Goffin.

Djokovic remains the man to beat though. I bet he will play excellent tennis at the US Open, where he will be much more difficult to stop...

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Superb clutchbotting, excellent kyrgioslike serving with a hundred times better return and ground game. Both won 85 points. Djoko wasn't bad at all but had a mild blip and Med used it perfectly, very very impressive I am in awe.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Lol just typed in "Djokovic" in google and it filled out "Djokovic vs Goffin" #SlowDownUltronians

 

[True Fanerer]

Funny enough that dude should've bombed first serves on second serves when he had 2 CPs lol needed to take it by the balls

I wish he would have looking back now.

 

[James P]

It's much more than that. If you don't see a difference between Medvedev and Aliassime/Shapovalov/Zverev/Tsitsipas, then you aren't looking close enough.

I think Tsitsipas is better than the other three, but otherwise Like

 

[Nostradamus]

WOW,, Medvedev girlfriend is super HOT. if you just remove that mole on left lip....... she would be perfection ?

like

yea but this guy is just very inconsistent. he is another Zeverev. he can do it in 3 set matches but in 5 setter at a Slam, he can't put together 7 matches in a row

 

[Djokovic2011]

I knew it! Just knew winning Cinci again this year was too good to come true. What gets me is how can Medvedev lose in straight sets to Kyrgios a couple of weeks ago, play like garbage against Nadal last weekend winning only a few games and then play absolutely lights out against Djokovic?! The only thing I can ascribe it to is a matchup issue so Novak and his team really need to start working on some different tactics as Medvedev is one of those players he'll be coming up against many more times in future. Man, talk about frustrating.

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

I very much hope Med recovers, will be a travesty to lose to Goff. That was his only tough match so he should be able to have some energy left. David won't be too difficult if Dani plays like that.

 

[Hamnavoe]

I like listening to Medvedev talk. He speaks very candidly.

 

[Nostradamus]

wow - just wow.

This match was almost as hot as the girl in your avatar

 

[hipolymer]

WOW,, Medvedev girlfriend is super HOT.

wut? Completely average Russian girl
Go to any yokel Russian town and find 10 of her in the local bar

 

[Meles]

You bet I am. I have to say. I haven't been a fan of a player in years, but I really like this kid. I just like his attitude. I like his ethic. He's unassuming and plain. My kind of people.

And another great, great interview after the match with Brad Gilbert; enjoys the limelight.

This match was just a complete wow. US Open is now wide open.

Do not lump the kyrg and nad losses together ok? Nick served super well like Med himself today and Med choked those tiebreaks, happens against peak servebots. Nad was a collapse for sure, but his slice was a big part of it. Djokovic just doesn't have an epic slice, he prefers rhythm like Med himself so they play into each other's hands. Djok was the better player overall today but meds was super clutch and served in the zone, respect.

Your sarcasm-detector is broken. Kyrgios is just saying that because he's 2-0 vs. him

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

Nadal should've played Cincinnati, now in hindsight he would've had an easy path and an easy finalist to beat up on.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Pathetic collapse to gift the 2nd set. Medvedev took the opportunity with both hands to his credit.

 

[marc45]

@NickKyrgios
Medvedev is a robot. Beast. Freak. Haha consistency off the charts

too good
..........................


somebody's having a good night

 

[Goret]

Chance for a double Golden Masters. He won’t have a better chance ever to get it again.

If he stays healthy, his chances in the next 1-2 years would be quite similar to this year...

So the "clown" that Rafa beat to win his hollow Masters title last week just beat Djokovic...

This is gonna be entertaining now

Match-up...

Nadal is a tough match-up vs. most players, and especially the younger generation - who haven't met him often, and haven't built a game to counter his very specific game. For Djokovic (outside clay) and Federer (outside clay, and in these later years) it's not a tough match-up anymore.

On the other side, Federer can have an off-day against anyone in the current generation, and so does Djokovic. Especially in M1000s and lesser tournaments...

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

I DON'T EVEN GO FOR A BIG SECOND SERVE ON TENNIS ELBOW AND HE IS DOING IT IN A REAL MATCH AGAINST DJOKOVIC!

Be like me, go for big 2nd serves and double fault matches away, even tennis elbow matches

She is super hot. but she is very consiantous about that mole on the left lip. she tries to hide it at every turn. It can be removed by good plastic surgeon without leaving a scar. I am sure Danill can afford it now. That mole is pretty big....

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Too good from Medvedev! Credit to him! Novak players decent but wasn’t enough today. Still good preparation for the us open!

 

[MeatTornado]

If he stays healthy, his chances in the next 1-2 years would be quite similar to this year...

But he's not wrong though. He'll have more chances to win it, but it's hard to envision a better path than Medvedev/Goffin in Cincinnati. That's as good as it gets.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Your sarcasm-detector is broken. Kyrgios is just saying that because he's 2-0 vs. him

This guy can’t stop making everything about him. Shows how insecure he is.

Cakeup + potato-famine-body

wut

 

[MugOpponent]

Nadal should've played Cincinnati, now in hindsight he would've had an easy path and an easy finalist to beat up on.

With the draw they were giving him it made absolutely no sense to take it off. I just don't buy the rest angle. There are days off between matches at the USO and first two or three matches should be stress free.

 

[Robert Baratheon]

I like listening to Medvedev talk. He speaks very candidly.

Yep unlike the full of bullsheet next gen he is a NO bullsheet Russian.
He is very honest and doesn't come off as pretentious.

 

[SonicNirvana]

great tournament for the russian new gen. I like medvedev too.

 

[Chadalina]

Is this the type of future no 1 we want?

H*ll no.

He plays exactly like the current #1, only a touch better today.

What differences do you see in their games?

 

[Nostradamus]

Cakeup + potato-famine-body

wut

how do you know ? have you seen her naked ?

 

[RunDatGame]

I have never seen this "I don't give a f... tactics" against Nole, serving two first serves for 2 sets. It was interesting to watch that for the first time.
Anyway congrats Medvedev, no one tried that for all this years and it was a perfect tactics today when your serve is clicking like that.
Gl in finals, hope you take it.
Nole, you were good, no need to analyze it to much. That was wierd

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Be like me, go for big 2nd serves and double fault matches away, even tennis elbow matches

I might ball bash sometimes, but kick 2nd serves for the win.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Is Bullsheet Russian now offical a diamond age tier I
