2019 Washington Final - [3] Daniil Medvedev vs Nick Kyrgios

[The Green Mile]

This is what happened the last time I watched Nick with a back issue, was still serving really well with brilliant placement lol

A shame about off the ground and on return though....

 

[James P]

Credit where it's due. He's pushing through the pain. Looks like absolute dogshit, though.

 

[albertobra]

This is looking more like a Karlovic Isner match.

 

[Standaa]

is Kyrgios having head issues?

I think so..

Same he's always had

 

[Standaa]

Ey you better shut your phuck up okay

Bullsheet Dutchman

 

[James P]

He's gonna need a Medvedev DF to win this.

 

[The Green Mile]

Points won on return

Kyrgios: 1/27
Medvedev: 6/31

 

[albertobra]

6 all in half an hour LOL

 

[mightyrick]

Medvedev just too solid and serving even better. The dude is definitely going to be an ATG. These other nextgen players will not be able to hang with Medvedev when he really starts peaking.

Dhat am I

Medvedev being ATG will save tennis.

Cause every fan will look at his technique and think "I can do that better"

 

[Standaa]

I need to decide whose backhand is prettier so I can know which one of the two is the better player

 

[The Green Mile]

This drop shot after the first return, what a play it's been, nicely exploiting Medvedev's court positioning.

Nick takes the 1st set lol

 

[Standaa]

omg that female voice guy is the umpire again

what happened to all those cool sounding umpires like the one in Wimbledon 09 final?

 

[Born Again]

How is Kyrgios not the GOAT??

 

[James P]

Wow. I definitely thought Kyrgios was going to waver. Great TBer.

 

[weakera]

3rd set last night and first tonight, just brutally boring.

 

[mightyrick]

LOL, Medvedev putting a lot of frustration into that forehand. He knows he should have had that first set.

 

[albertobra]

Meddy choked first set, or Niky clutch?

This post didn’t age well

100% choke.

Me, alcohol and a shovel happened.

 

[I Am Finnish]

The better player lost the set

Pathetic bullsheet russian

Choked

This dude is an utter scrub pusher

 

[albertobra]

100% choke.

Probably....Meddy lost 1 point on serve up to 6 all. Then lost 3 on TB....but Nick aced down the T the set point against...and that is a strong message...certainly clutch.

Why not? Because things change from one point to the next? Lol. Ok, whatever. I see. If today is cold, then I guess climate change is hoax? Hint: weather isn't climate. And that notion applies to lots of subject matter.

 

[The Green Mile]

Losing one point on serve up to the TB then losing the set. How ****ty that must feel. I'd definitely be tanking by now, but that's why I'm a club level player

Yeah set point

 

[The Green Mile]

Dreadful drop volley attempt, what the hell was that?

 

[toby55555]

Tweener lob running forward to a short ball is a new one on me.

 

[The Green Mile]

These heavy handed finesse shots getting what they deserve.

Daniil comes through for 2-1 anyway.

 

[mightyrick]

Crowd always loves some good clowning when it works out.

Mansour Bahrami...

 

[stringertom]

Just catching up with Isner vs Karlovic...neither can buy a return point.

 

[The Green Mile]

It's in Medvedev's nature to hit cross-court backhands all day, even when he has the short ball and the court is wide open DTL

 

[Red Rick]

Oh look the back pain is gone

 

[The Green Mile]

Since when did the Umpire telling the playing how far out a serve is, become an unwritten rule of sorts? Nick just expects them to tell him these days. Probably Lahyani started it all...

This is just Kyrgios letting out some tension and stirring it up. If he plays too clean for awhile, he simply has to shake it up. He really exhibits symptoms like ADHD.

Does that Kt tape on his knee actually do anything or is it psychological?

Probably does something. KT tape done by a trainer or PT is a miracle. The taping patterns with the muscles and joints is key to solving an issue or stabilizing an area that needs it.

 

[The Green Mile]

The similarities with Simon, they even have the same underwhelming aggressive net play.

 

[Legend of Borg]

pathetic net game

 

[James P]

Come on, get that break!

 

[The Green Mile]

jfc Nick, that could have been deuce....

 

[mightyrick]

Aaaaaand the clown comes out. The guy has and always will be his own worst enemy.

 

[Meles]

The dude's won 4 titles in his life and none of them big ones. He did beat world beater Stevie Johnson in American and de Minaur in Australia. The crowd will be solidly behind Nick as they've been all week. Who the hell would root for boring ass Medvedev? His game is stiflingly dull. Nick in straights!

I would.

 

[Meles]

@Meles, where are you? Ain't nobody else even watchin' this upcoming smackdown!

I've been watching everything just tied up with other activities taking my posting energy away.

Nick playing this perfect; like he's recovering from a lobotomy. Don't want to get Medvedev too interested.

 

[PeteD]

113? Is that some kind of record?

 

[Meles]

Credit where it's due. He's pushing through the pain. Looks like absolute dogshit, though.

LOL. Kyrgios won the match yesterday with same issue and even looks better after treatment. Dogshit? Not sure what you're watching.
