That service game was a flashback to the Wimby+French finals. Total crap when serving for the set.

Meddy didn’t really do anything to win that one lol

Definitely. It's what Federer said, your game might be enough to beat one of them from time to time (especially their old versions), but it probably won't be enough to beat one of the others at the same tournament. It's part of what made it so hard for the other players to win anything when they were all in their prime.

Of the younger players, Thiem looks like the most capable of beating multiple declined Big 3, at least.

Thiem? I don't know. He has decent h2h against them, because he plays a big game. In a M1000, I think he can smoke all three. But in the Slams, their creativity is on full display, 9 times out of 10, and that's just a bit much for him, imo.

But in Grand Slams all of the young guys lose to Nadal and Djokovic most of the time. Thiem had the best Slam wins against less declined versions of them.

Med didn't lose this time, and Thiem has never won going through them. How can you say Thiem has had the best Slam wins?
 
Well at least he ended it on a good note. Totally tightened up serving for it though. This match is the reason why I say the Djokovic forehand is so underrated. Totally dominated Medvedev with that shot in the last 2 sets. Also, his improved volleying skills were on full display today. Very good and entertaining final. Turin should be lit.
 
The tactical variation shown by Nole today is immacular. He did it all, and exactly what he needed to do. What a super strong victory. Djokovic is unbelieveable.

I think it's either Djokovic in 3 or Medvedev in 2. Djokovic seems very likely to drop a set, given the way he's been playing this tournament, but Medvedev is worse in the big moments so if it's 1 set all, Djokovic takes it.

I might be wrong but that's how I see it. :p

Called it. Medvedev crumbles under pressure when matches get close. He has to win them in straight sets or max 4 sets if it's best of 5.
