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

[merwy]

Another bad miss from Med at an important moment.. after all that running

 

[bluetrain4]

Nice point.

 

[wang07]

great rally. Too bad the match just reached it's highest level at the very end(likely).

 

[StrongRule]

How well Medvedev is defending...Nadal still gets to BP, but I doubt he can convert it.

 

[MeatTornado]

Meddy can hold his head up high! He’s a future winner and had a great game. Just needs to clean his game up and cut the errors.

I don't see it tbh.

 

[aldeayeah]

It's NOT the court. It's these guys who play with so much spin and doesn't penetrate the court. They also hit short.
If It were Fed or Delpo the balls would be flying for winners.

yes

it's also S-L-O-W

the serves are also super ineffective

 

[a10best]

One of the best tactical matches I have seen Nadal play. I did say Med's serve would be nullified I didn't know his groundies would be too.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Saved.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy tried everything there and still lost the point! That’s what it’s like playing the great Rafa!

 

[CremoCream]

medvedevs movement for someone 6 foot 6 is impressive.

 

[Lleytonstation]

He's not. He's played a lot tennis and he's never won a 5 set match. It would be beyond a miracle for him to win.

Check back with me after the AO, but I think Med has a game that can be figured out and beat when aggressive. He relies on defense to win, and I think he will fade here in the near future. I definitely could be wrong, but his game needs some pop to it.

 

[GabeT]

Rafa has a good chance to end the year #1. It's looks like 2016 all over again for Djokovic unless he can pull off a 2013 or 2015 fall season.

No need to go nuts. Best to pace himself, win what he can, and aim to win AO

 

[StrongRule]

And of course Medvedev saves it. Nadal already missed his chance to win the match.

 

[The Green Mile]

Nadal slice has almost been the stand out shot, it's been so effective today

 

[tennis4me]

Nadal has deconstructed Medvedev's defense. Even if Med were to lose this, he played a very respectable match. His defense is actually very good - he saved a lot of balls and made Nadal hit one more shot or quality shot.

 

[Tennis sensation]

BP#2 Nadal

 

[La Grande]

Medvedev’s movement and consistency is just ridiculous for a big guy. Unreal stuff.

 

[Nostradamus]

RAFA is the Manimal......

 

[merwy]

Nextgen volley strikes again (after hitting a Roddick approach to Nads fh)

 

[StrongRule]

Another BP, but again no chance...

 

[Tenacity]

DJOKOSMASH

 

[The Green Mile]

lol, come on....

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

LOLOLOLOLOL

 

[a10best]

A great learning for the youngsters out there.
But that overhead is not to learn.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

medvedevs movement for someone 6 foot 6 is impressive.

And with those toothpick legs of his!
He reminds me of Kuerten: the very lean, can-play-forever type.

 

[James P]

Better to be lucky than good!

 

[wang07]

another miss LOL

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Djokosmash

 

[Tennis sensation]

Djokovic like overhead from Nadal.

Deuce.

 

[Fedalfan]

Arrgggh. What a miss!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Delicious.

 

[CremoCream]

btw that ball was out by Nadal...... the fact that they didnt call it out smh.

 

[bluetrain4]

Wow. Lol.

 

[Deleted member 763999]

Cuz sometimes it's actually hilarious with some of the dumb **** he spits out then he just keeps going and going...it's like, just stfu once in a while and actually support Rafa since you're a Rafa fan. Or claim to be one.

I think whats hilarious about StrongRule is not the dumb **** he says, but the people that are trolling him back

 

[Red Rick]

Never have I ejaculated and vomited in such quick succession

 

[StrongRule]

WHAT THE HELL????????????????????? AGAIN????????????????????????????????????

 

[Sephiroth]

These guys are hitting the fuzz out of the ball right now, wow

 

[James P]

btw that ball was out by Nadal...... the fact that they didnt call it out smh.

Thought the same

 

[Nostradamus]

WHAt ?????????????? I thought this russina was tired ?????????

 

[bluetrain4]

Med's a gamer.

 

[beltsman]

This crowd is so disgusting. Mindless peons. They don't deserve Medvedev.

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Respect to Med's heart & effort

 

[Yugram]

Hold your damn serve now, Rafa

 

[StrongRule]

Guys, Nadal is DEFINITELY losing this match now...Omfg, what a choke.............

The biggest choke in slam finals history...

 

[James P]

What an incredible hold!

 

[La Grande]

Medvedev just doesn’t give up

 

[clout]

Nadal kinda let Med off the hook there

 

[TheAssassin]

Yes, Minister. Now break him!

 

[ChrisRF]

I can’t believe med’s stamina.

Would be bad if he didn’t have this stamina after 2 and a half hours. Otherwise he wouldn’t have any chance in Best of 5. He didn’t play yesterday and only had 3 sets on Friday.

But he said he doesn’t like Best of 5, so indeed is was questionable.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Medvedev holds.

5-4
