2019 US Open Men's Final :- [2] Rafael Nadal (Spain) v/s [5] Daniil Medvedev (Russia)

[Incognito]

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.

Now this is true. Med’s greatest asset is not giving up. You actually have to beat him. I like that about him.

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

Way to go comparing Nadal to someone who wasn't allowed to play grand slams for seven years of his prime...

 

[ChaelAZ]

Just that Daniil kept on starring so Nadal had to whoop dat a....

Beat down

 

[davced1]

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.

Novak will stop Rafa and they all end up at 20. That would be something.

 

[TennisFan3]

Medvedev holds at love. 2-1 in set 3. Impressive hustling and effort by the Russian. He still believes.
Nadal,if he has a dip,and gets broken - the match could totally turn.

 

[Yugram]

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

I this future. Can we win AO en route?

 

[MichaelNadal]

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

Epic

 

[Incognito]

Then what are his weapons?

He has a big serve, very steady from the baseline. He is a tactician too.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

@Federer and Del Potro

 

[Mark-Touch]

And now Med's unbeeleebable comeback begins!

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak will stop Rafa and they all end up at 20. That would be something.

Would give TTW enough fuel to last forever.

When Slams had literally half their players from Australia and the USA.

The comparisonsare invalid both ways

Spell it correctly:

Ombeeleble

Well... I don't write history

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Michael Douglas in the house.

TTW compromises

Mury Goat

Meanwhile Mury would be sad at having less Slams than older brother

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

... on his serve.

40-15

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

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

Fed on hard court isn’t the same as grass and he won in 4 sets.

Man Catherine Zeta Jones was such a beauty once...smfh plastic surgery

Lol have several seats Danill.

Thanks for making my point...

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Taking the p there.

 

[The Green Mile]

Nadal is just dominating....

 

[Yugram]

Nadal should actually be careful in this set. Medvedev looks like he can play for 5 more hours.

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Funny to see the haters posting away their misery. Your hero will finish 3rd behind Nadal and Djokovic

 

[Tenez101]

Med needs to pull the teigger and not give af, a la 20 yo Safin.

 

[TripleATeam]

Good job, Rafa. Medvedev was better during that rally though.

 

[StrongRule]

Medvedev was defending really well in this game. Nadal still holds.

 

[Sephiroth]

Nadal taking Med to the clinic here.

 

[Tenez101]

Looks like it. Djokovic and Nadal is the true GOAT rivalry, and they deserve to end as the top 2.

Still better depth than currently

 

[StrongRule]

Nadal is hitting really weak at the moment and gives Medvedev many chances to attack.

US open script is leaked on reddit... Med in 5 with tie breaker in 3

 

[TheAssassin]

Looking like straight sets but it's not a demolition at least. Hope we see a more improved Mad Lad on these stages regularly in the future.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Daniil playing great but Nadal just a bit better!

 

[Yugram]

Still better depth than currently

Baghdatis and Philippoussis.

 

[TripleATeam]

Every time Rafa serves

Med is a real bad actor then.

It's lighting up now

THERE'S THE SIGNATURE FH DTL!!!

BP Nadal

 

[bullfan]

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.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Daniil playing great but Nadal just a bit better!

He's not just a bit better...

 

[Deleted member 762343]

It’s over now.

 

[junior74]

Rafa has made Med wait to serve three times this game.

Not good.

And he breaks. It's over.

Congrats to Rafa! And good night

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal breaks.

3-2

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Hope those two Fed fans that bought the 50k ticket are getting what they are bargained for
@OhYes

 

[Fedalfan]

Seriously!

Every time Rafa serves

 

[augustobt]

Moonball ros at 30-30
UE bachkand on the net.

Perfect.

 

[Yugram]
