You overrating med. He’s a lousy returner which is not shocking.That's the difference between an ATG and next gen: Rafa can't buy a first serve in the first set, is down multiple BP's, looks like Med will steamroll, but Rafa still wins the set.
These younger dudes just don't have any mental strength, Bizarre and utterly pathetic.
Nadal's volleys are really outrageous... Just so much better than anyone currently.
I never said he was playing horribly.Nadal isn't playing horribly.
Unless you're saying you hate his playing style?
2011 Novak?
Please show me one.
Med reminds me of 2011 Djokovic.
6-3First set first serve stats:
Med: 88%
Rafa: 42%
It's hard to never get lucky if you qualify for the WTF like 15 times.And now Nadal will play a tired Thiem in the final. I have no idea how things work out for Nadal so well.
Yeah, how dare we be impressed by 100% serving.Extremely predictable set of tennis.
The fact that people here were hyping Daniil when he was winning games when serving at 100% tells you everything.
did I just like a StrongRule post?Aww, that would be such a beautiful passing shot had he made it.

Ye, he often lucks out with the draw. Djokovic and Zverev were most dangerous opponents for him, he won't face either thanks to Medvedev, who is easy for Nadal.And now Nadal will play a tired Thiem in the final. I have no idea how things work out for Nadal so well.
He just lost 6-3. Hello?Medvedev is back to not missing any first serves...He played 4 service games without missing any first serves, and one game where he missed all first serves.
bandid I just like a StrongRule post?
He has outplayed Nadal and is still the favorite to win the matchMedvedev is back to not missing any first serves...He played 4 service games without missing any first serves, and one game where he missed all first serves.
The Austrian wrote his own death sentence. Should’ve tanked to Nadal instead of Rublev and beaten Novak in the final.Funny how Nadal losing his RR match against Thiem will actually make him win this tournament.
List of all clear similarities between Novak and BSR:For all the comparisons to Novak, Med is nowhere NEAR as mentally strong as Novak.
I never said he was playing horribly.
I understand. Bear's amazing game got you overexcited...I'm not saying Nadal has won this. But based on what is Medy GOATING and Nadal playing horribly if he just won the set 6-3? You'd have to be an idiot to claim such hyperbole.
It's all aligning the way we predicted a few days ago. Nadal is just the biggest opportunist in tennis.Have that feeling this is Rafa's title, even a GOATing Med cannot stop a poor serving Rafa.
He can start up a restaurant with Sir AndyGotta feel bad for Thiem tomorrow. Another plate
Just an exho man, chill down. I'm surprised you're even watching.Omfg, what the hell was that... Yeah, Nadal is still losing this.
That would have been the last service game.Nadal is BIG BIG trouble. 2 break points. This one might be over quickly.
