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

[The Green Mile]

113? Is that some kind of record?

Is this Nick's ace count? If so, John had 145 back in 07.

 

[Meles]

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.

Wow. Statistically he does have potential, but I've got him on the Diamond Age B Team.

 

[The Green Mile]

Daniil failing big time on challenges today, TB time....

 

[Meles]

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

And these courts are on the slow side. It would be servebot city if any fasterer.

 

[mightyrick]

Wow. Statistically he does have potential, but I've got him on the Diamond Age B Team.

Most do. Most see Medvedev as being basically "meh" as a nextgen. He isn't flashy in any way.

Personally, I think he's the best of all of them. And he won't probably peak for two years.

 

[albertobra]

We need a third set do we? Or it'll be the least emotional final of the year.

 

[The Green Mile]

Daniil's challenges, he must be 0 for 6 or something lol....

Courier said Nick hit a 113 FH on Med's serve

 

[mightyrick]

Man, Medvedev is very bothered this entire set. I think that first set choke totally took him out of the match. Definitely needs to work on calming himself and forgetting about lost points. I saw him do the same thing against Simon in Queens.

 

[The Green Mile]

Courier said Nick hit a 113 FH on Med's serve

Oh. Fastest recorded forehand is Murray's IIRC, 124 mph at Cinci vs Fish. Blake's return winner at the USO was supposedly 125 mph.

 

[Standaa]

Medveded is a small kid who doesn’t know how to challenge and play tie-breaks

 

[James P]

Very nicely done.

 

[mightyrick]

Really great match from Kyrgios. When the guy brings it, the guy brings it.

Quality match from both guys. Razor-thin margins separating both guys.

 

[The Green Mile]

Nick gets it done in straights, 7/6 7/6. Congrats.

She said wide and he went wide.

 

[Born Again]

Does Nick skip Montreal now?

 

[Meles]

Meddy just a little too aggressive late in the breaker again.

He's not Federe; would need legit medical condition.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

9th time someone saved MP(s) in one of the rounds before winning a tournament in the 2019 season. Kyrgios makes that list twice.

He is playing Montreal, he even said to Tsitsipas at the net at the end of their match.

- See you in Montreal

 

[Krish0608]

Go Nick! Such an entertainer!

 

[PeteD]

Gotta be really happy for Nick. He kept focused and reaped the reward.

 

[Harry_Wild]

NK has done it! Won the D.C. singles title!

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Yesssssss

 

[Deleted member 688153]

And the forum has reacts now! The one feature I wanted. Thanks mods

 

[Meles]

Meddy choked first set, or Niky clutch?

Choked both a touch, but Kyrgios brought the pressure.

 

[mightyrick]

I swear. The lower the ATP points of a tournament, the more the speeches and length of the trophy presentation ceremony.

 

[Born Again]

He's not Federe; would need legit medical condition.

Well he did play a lot and is fatigued & suffering back issues, anyway he can always tank as last resort.

 

[Meles]

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

They both delivered on serve and made for a good match. Nick can take opportunities if given and Medvedev's return really kept in check. Nick's first return is weak, but when playing well the 2nd return is good.

 

[Djokovic2011]

So Kyrgios wins his 2nd title of the year. Good for him. If having more success on the court means he stops obsessing so much over true legends of the sport, I'm all for it.

He'd be a fool to do so as he's got a good draw save the match with Medvedev again.

Meltdown

Hope not. I want him to lay a beatdown on Nadal!

Anyone in particular in mind?

The smaller events often like to put on a show more than the bigger ones do (understandably).

Or Nadal or Djokovic. All now qualify for the Masters 1000 exemption based on age and matches played.

A serving masterclass

By both or some inept returning by both as well.

Return points won: 20 for Kyrgios and 22 by Medvedev
Total points won: 72 for Kyrgios and 71 for Medvedev

Pretty much a tie,
