[SeeingDusk]

My avatar isn't obvious enough

what do you like most about med? Is he your favorite player?

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Meddy just let him off the hook there. A huge opportunity missed. Novak will probably smell blood here.

I hope he'll smell some aces from Med

 

[MeatTornado]

I don't count him out even at 0-2.

I don't count him out at 0-2, 0-5, 0-40.

 

[abmk]

Med had opening at 0-30 djoko, but doesn't step up. djoko holds.
4-3 med serving now.

 

[MasterZeb]

Raducanu W. Novak L. A Hamilton W would’ve capped off a wonderful weekend.

 

[Mivic]

Djokosmash

Med Goating

Don't you want to see Medvedev beat a decent Djokovic win his first slam? I don't understand how even a Med fan can be enjoying this.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Med to get broke here. Won't win set.

Yes please!

 

[Sysyphus]

big hold from the welterweight champion

 

[El_Yotamo]

Can't help but think a player actually playing well would be serving for the second now

 

[PrinceMoron]

Doubled my money right now
Only see it going one way

 

[Hera]

clickbait is fun

I was watching that before the match.

 

[mike danny]

I think Med needed that double break.

 

[davced1]

Djokovic will win this set. Just wait for when he wins that impossible 70 ball rally point he should have lost and breaks Medvedevs spirit. It never fails.

 

[ForehandCross]

Good thing is Med isn't even playing that well right now.

Hope he can focus. Djokovic is going to throw his body and mind and everything in next two return games.

 

[Jokervich]

Medvedev doesn't get tired, which is hugely concerning. He can play for 5 sets at a high level unlike other player earlier in the draw.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

He won't lose this set. Break coming followed by Djoker roar.

No

 

[Fabresque]

I think it’s over. Ive seen him come back from 1, 2 sets down before, this year even, but something doesn’t sit right with this one. Just can’t see it happening, I think Medvedev’s won it.

 

[Kralingen]

Laver looks pissed. He does not want Djokovic to win.

He looks a little confused to me, lol

 

[I Am Finnish]

Please crowd support Medvedev and celebrate on Djokovic's errors

I was watching that before the match.

I’m on episode 6 I think

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic will win this set. Just wait for when he wins that impossible 70 ball rally point he should have lost and breaks Medvedevs spirit. It never fails.

Exactly. One break and the match will be OVER.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Neither are playing good. Sloppy weak era match.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

This is getting embarrassing. Novak should call it a season. Med has won this now. Med is too good for a rsitsipas let down here. Will blow novak off the court

If he was thinking the same way your are right now, he would have withdrawn against Jack Diaper.

 

[MeatTornado]

Novak showing a little positive energy at least with that skip back to the bench.

 

[Pheasant]

Med isn’t playing well. Djoker looks very nervous. If he shakes these nerves, then he can easily come back.

Djoker is showing he’s human so far. But never rule him out. He’s the last guy in history that I’d ever rule out.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Med really isn't doing anything special outside the serve. His ground game is always Blah

 

[Bud]

Don't you want to see Medvedev beat a decent Djokovic win his first slam? I don't understand how even a Med fan can be enjoying this.

Med has no control how his opponent plays. A win is a win

 

[PrinceMoron]

Ok showtime

 

[James P]

what do you like most about med? Is he your favorite player?

Yeah, he's hilarious and fun to watch. Been a fan since summer hardcourt 2019.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Neither are playing good. Sloppy weak era match.

Compared to last night it's really embarrassing lol

 

[Lleytonstation]

No

100 percent.

 

[TennisFan3]

Please crowd support Medvedev and celebrate on Djokovic's errors

It's the other way round. Crowd is 100% behind Novak right now.

 

[Krish872007]

Medvedev doesn't get tired, which is hugely concerning. He can play for 5 sets at a high level unlike other player earlier in the draw.

Though he doesn't have a particularly stellar record in 5th sets.

 

[The Fedfather]

Djoko collapsing but these things happen. Credit to mad lad

Is this from Pepe Imaz's spiritual teaching?

 

[MeatTornado]

I think Med needed that double break.

Me too, but I thought that in the 1st set and was wrong.

 

[ForehandCross]

Don't you want to see Medvedev beat a decent Djokovic win his first slam? I don't understand how even a Med fan can be enjoying this.

Wait when he breaks Med in the next two service game.

These lulls are a part of his game now. He is 100% capable of channeling is very best.

 

[AceyMan]

DJ is not getting any precision on his DTL groundies. His ball has been within a ball can of the sideline maybe three times, off either wing.

It's not like Med is bossing him with pace, but the timing is sure not there.

 

[JadeC]

All the streams just died in the last few minutes. This match is going to be rough.

Novak keeping close. I still believe!

 

[Pandaman]

Idk if Novak is tired or what, but he's not running down balls, staying way too far back, cant hit first serves, mentally broken, and let that BS reset let on 2nd serve (why didn't they replay a 2nd serve??) Get to him. Can't blow 0-40 after losing the first set with terrible choice of shot at the net and not be bold on the 3rd one. Overall scared and soft play.

I can't praise Medvedev much here. Serving great, but just benefitting from being fresh and playing bums all tournament.

That's tennis, though :shrug:

 

[James P]

I don't count him out at 0-2, 0-5, 0-40.

Here here

 

[iopzzza]

Its over, this match...

 

[The Green Mile]

His mindset yes, but his game is just solid, nothing more.

Can't forget his serve, even if Novak is off the boil somewhat.

 

[Ruark]

Every man has their breaking point. The pressure is simply too much for Novak here.

True. Crushing pressure on Djo. He said yesterday that this "is the most important match of my career."

 

[Legend of Borg]

OK if he's gonna channel Petros then one break is all he's gonna need.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Most impressive.

 

[davced1]

Exactly. One break and the match will be OVER.

I am serious actually. It happened in the Wimbledon final with Berrettini and many Djokovic matches follows the same pattern. He looks out of it but God mode is never far away for him he can turn it on in the most difficult situations.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

DANIIL HOLDS

 

[PrinceMoron]

Tired legs
ND is a yard slow out there

 

[SeeingDusk]

Yeah, he's hilarious and fun to watch. Been a fan since summer hardcourt 2019.

nice! Huge forehand by Medvedev to set up that winner.

 

[The Green Mile]

Absolutely sick stuff from Med, what a service game. Holds convincingly for 5-3.
