2022 Miami Open R16 - Daniil Medvedev [1] vs Jenson Brooksby

[ItalianFan]

First meeting between these two players, and it should be an interesting one as both players are considered "unorthodox" at some extents.

Medvedev defeated Martinez 6-3 6-4, 71% of first serves in, 79% of points won on first serve, 3/6 BPs converted, 2/3 BPs saved.

Brooksby defeated Bautista Agut 6-3 5-7 6-4 (was 4-*0 down in the third), 63% of first serves in, 85% of points won on first serve, 6/12 BPs converted, 6/10 BPs saved.

 

[Aabye5]

On paper....I have no idea. Two of the trickiest players out there. True chess on the run.

Med did just beat Brooksby's pushy predecessor, but Jenson can run far better than Murray at this point.

 

[Kralingen]

This one will make Murray-Djokovic look like high octane, swashbuckling attacking tennis

 

[James P]

Medvedev is 11-0 against players born in the 2000s. Can Brooksby crack that sterling record?

This is a bit sneaky, isn't it...

 

[TheNachoMan]

Won’t watch but hope Brooksby wins. For obvious reasons.

Pathetic matchup, such matchups really bore me to death

I doubt there will be a 40-stroke paint drying point, let alone this 71 shot marathon I have relied on when insomnia takes me hostage and the ransom can’t be paid:

 

[onefineday]

Brooksby 6-3, 6-4.

Medvedev would be thankful to Brooksby for taking out RBA.

Yeah, but he's never played Alcaraz or Nakashima.

 

[James P]

Yeah, but he's never played Alcaraz or Nakashima.

He's beaten Alcaraz already.

 

[Aabye5]

He's beaten Alcaraz already.

Ah, that's true. Although it was on grass, so a little sneaky.

Med vs Brooksby - Med in 3

 

[Forgive Me Father]

Two mirrors playing each other.

 

[Ace of Aces]

Bigger hitting than expected so far

 

[Kralingen]

World #1 doing world #1 stuff it seems.

 

[Kralingen]

Brooksby is absolutely demolishing the Medvedev 2nd serve. One of the best 2nd serve attacking performances I've seen against Med...

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Meddy with the important hold!

 

[TheNachoMan]

World #1 doing world #1 stuff it seems.

The world #1 is on his couch

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Medvedev getting Medvedeved

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Brooksby getting Brooksbied

 

[Mr.Lob]

Uhhh. Choke

 

[onefineday]

Sad that JB wasted that chance.

 

[weakera]

Medvedev has really picked it up!

 

[MattHeup]

Medvedev getting Medvedeved

Now Medvedev's the one doing the Medvedeving

 

[Kralingen]

Is Brooksby's nickname JT? I keep hearing it in the crowd.

 

[MattHeup]

Is Brooksby's nickname JT? I keep hearing it in the crowd.

Yup. Middle name is Tyler.

 

[MeatTornado]

That was so obviously even in real time on TV. Don't know how the ump missed it.

 

[Serve&Bash]

Another double bounce goes missed. Pathetic.

 

[Kralingen]

what exactly do Lahyani and Bernardes get paid to do?

 

[MattHeup]

Very entertaining point though regardless.

 

[Deleted member 788697]

That was so funny when Medvedev smashed the ball onto Brooks chest, and in that same rally Brooks had hit a ball after it bounced twice and the umpire didn't see

 

[Kralingen]

Choke job by Brooksby right there.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Brooksby, champion material?

Not judging by this disastrous mini-meltdown.

I predict.............................. a solid top 30 career.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Brooksby not handling the pressure well.
Loses last 2 service games and set.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Let's go! One more set.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Brooksby not handling the pressure well.
Loses last 2 service games and set.

Pressure handling is only the most important thing, once you've reached the top 100...

He seems too "milky" somehow, like a 12 year-old. Almost as harmless as Felix.

They will be underachievers, always. Or mostly. Forget the talent, that doesn't matter too much when you're not clutch.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

0-40.

It's over.

 

[James P]

Great set by both. Brooksby might have been "figured out" by Medvedev now, though, but dang he was sure bothering Medvedev's game. Let's see what happens in the 2nd.

 

[ojo rojo]

what exactly do Lahyani and Bernardes get paid to do?

I'm almost certain they're listening to true crime podcasts during the match

 

[UnderratedSlam]

I'm enjoying this match. Med is winning and their games are weird enough to be entertaining.

The octopus Vs the crab

Nadal would have labeled Bernardes a "true criminal" at one point...

Marine life -------------------- the best tennis players.

When/if Med win another slam (this year hopefully) I will so enjoy rubbing all yer faces in it, all those who dislike him or underrate him...

 

[James P]

Seven straight games now
