For being 6'6" this kid can ***** MOVE!!!!!!

 

[StrongRule]

Rafa 208-1 after winning first two sets, Medvedev has never won a five set match, alrighty then

What? Miami 2005 and USO 2015 are already two matches...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I am so excited I can hardly breathe! (;

 

[Yugram]

Rafa 208-1 after winning first two sets, Medvedev has never won a five set match, alrighty then

208-2 actually. Federer Miami, no?

 

[Standaa]

Rafa 208-1 after winning first two sets, Medvedev has never won a five set match, alrighty then

what’s that one match?

 

[The Green Mile]

What? Miami 2005 and USO 2015 are already two matches...

At major level, sorry for the confusion.

Nadal has made guacamole out of the USO draw and Med here is the final topping.

 

[MeatTornado]

Djokovic and Federer currently playing the moral final

Roger just hit an incredible winner to set up match point...

 

[Standaa]

208-2 actually. Federer Miami, no?

and the other?

 

[Tennis sensation]

Medvedev on the board in the third set.

1-0

 

[NoleFam]

I just think he is not as good as everyone thinks. He has zero weapons.

You must not realize how many more winners he has than Nadal? This is not a good matchup for him though at all.

 

[Yugram]

and the other?

Fog 2015

 

[StrongRule]

Nadal hit a bad drop shot on the first point, after that Medvedev holds easy. Nadal needs to hold serve now. Medvedev will not give up like in Montreal, he will keep fighting.

 

[The Green Mile]

what’s that one match?

USO vs Fog. I meant major level. He's lost to Fed as well at Miami 05

 

[Yugram]

Roger just hit an incredible winner to set up match point...

... on his serve.

 

[Rina]

Rafa fans must be dying of happiness! And deservedly so! 19, that is something. Nothing changed in tennis after all. Fed is mostly on the way out... but Nadal and Djokovic sharing slams, all is good in tennis, and all is the same in tennis.

What? Miami 2005 and USO 2015 are already two matches...

Grand slams only

I'd pick an avocado over this draw any time of the year

 

[davced1]

I think Novak now has a better chance to overtake fed than Rafa! I see Rafa going past 20 but fed not winning another major. Whether Novak can overtake Rafa is more a difficult task!

Why will Federer not win anymore? He probably would have beaten Rafa today had he not been injured. He smoked him at Wimbledon remember.

A little more accurate picture here mate

 

[Incognito]

I just think he is not as good as everyone thinks. He has zero weapons.

Really? He stomped Djokovic twice on two different surfaces this year. Fedal couldn’t even manage that. Not everyone is a federer or a Nadal who can win a major in their first final.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Beatings.

 

[Lleytonstation]

You must not realize how many more winners he has than Nadal? This is not a good matchup for him though at all.

Yes. I am sure this match is blinding me, but I just see this and think how does he hurt people? Defense? He does not hit a hard shot and gets over powered. Too inconsistent.

 

[Red Rick]

Roger just hit an incredible winner to set up match point...

Federer winning back to back moral Slams at 38.

Unbelievable

 

[James P]

What is even the point of moving forward on the serve if you aren't going to punish it.

 

[Yugram]

Really? He stomped Djokovic twice on two different surfaces this year. Fedal couldn’t even manage that. Not everyone is a federer or a Nadal who can win a major in their first final.

His match up with Joe Kovic is not so much about weapons. Joe Kovic just has hard time generating his own pace.

 

[MeatTornado]

Why will Federer not win anymore? He probably would have beat Rafa today had he not been injured. He smoked him at Wimbledon remember.

Far from impossible, but odds are against him.

He's always got a nagging injury by the time the USO rolls around. RG is out of the question. So you're left with AO & Wimby, 2 places where Djokovic still excels and Roger's only getting older every day.

 

[Incognito]

Even laver liked Rafa’s last volley

 

[NoleFam]

Excellent volley from Rafa.

 

[Sephiroth]

Laver looking like Emperor Palpatine out here

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

@StrongRule Rafa drop shot

 

[Harry_Wild]

Two set for Rafa, one to go! Go Rafa!

 

[Lleytonstation]

Really? He stomped Djokovic twice on two different surfaces this year. Fedal couldn’t even manage that. Not everyone is a federer or a Nadal who can win a major in their first final.

Then what are his weapons?

 

[_GOATbis]

Rod Laver has more hair than Baldal.

 

[StrongRule]

Good hold, but he really needs a break.

 

[E36BMWM3]

Rod Laver has more hair than Baldal.

LMAO!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

There is no if, Tim.

 

[E36BMWM3]

Rod Laver has more hair than Baldal.

But soon to be 8 less slams... VAMOS!

 

[The Green Mile]

Medvedev 22/30 at the net today, probably the most shocking stat of all in this match

 

[Yugram]

Then what are his weapons?

Baseline consistency is actually the best weapon you can have against 2019 Djokovic.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Rod Laver has more hair than Baldal.

 

[Tenez101]

Feder.

You doing OK buddy?

 

[NoleFam]

Yes. I am sure this match is blinding me, but I just see this and think how does he hurt people? Defense? He does not hit a hard shot and gets over powered. Too inconsistent.

He can be quite passive sometimes but the pace of his shot is deceptive. It doesn't look like he is hitting it as hard as he actually is. Nadal is junk balling him and throwing off his timing and it's been giving him fits. That's his weakness. He likes a steady flat rally ball.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Man Sheet is a MACHINE!!!!!!!!! He ISN'T MISSING on all the UNIMPORTANT points!!!!!!!!!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Why will Federer not win anymore? He probably would have beaten Rafa today had he not been injured. He smoked him at Wimbledon remember.

Federer can only potentially win Wimbledon now! He’s 38 and he’s proven he struggles to win us open. Hasn’t won it since 2008. He’s a non factor on clay. Aussi open will be tougher now with Djokovic and Nadal back in form on hard courts. Plus he vulnerable to other players too.

Only Wimbledon he a solid favourite but he needs Novak taken out and a good draw. He’s coming up 39 next year and I think that Wimbledon loss to Novak will haunt him. He’s gonna lose the slam record to Rafa and maybe Novak too!

 

[theEndgame]

never thought that Rafa will be 1 slam behind federer after the 2017 AO choke

 

[MeatTornado]

Baseline consistency is actually the best weapon you can have against 2019 Djokovic.

Landing 125mph 2nd serves doesn't hurt either

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Amen. Need those easy points.

 

[StrongRule]

No chance so far. Medvedev is really serving much better today than in the previous rounds. Suddenly gets so many first serves in, hardly any double faults...No chance to break right now. Nadal needs to keep holding serve.

 

[Tenez101]

Nadal will surpass Federer within a year, and Federer will retire.
