[4]Tsitsipas vs. Medvedev[2] AO SF 2022

[BGod]

Daniil still the one defending points. Two matches away from a 2nd Major and World #1. Stefanos would be gunning for 2nd career Final, first Slam and move up to world #3.

Certainly playing less than half the time is some kind of edge for CITY BUS!!!!!

3:30AM ET
7:30PM Melbourne

 

[-NN-]

All I can say is I'm excited for this one.

 

[Nadal_Django]

Medvedev in 4

 

[DIMI_D]

Tsitsi will get this one!!!

 

[aman92]

Tsitsipas is in better form.. Should take it

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

MAN YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR PHUCK UP

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[lordlosh]

3-0 or 3-1 for the Greek magician!!!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Totally expected Med to go that far in the tournament, was not the case at all for Tsitsipas, definitely hyped to watch this one

 

[aman92]

Oh my god.. Med says he would do what Novak do..crowd boos the hell out of it.
When he mentions Fedal, defeaning cheers

 

[TheNachoMan]

Rooting for Medvedev to beat the small kid who doesn’t know how to fight.

 

[tennis_pro]

Medvedev in 4

If not in 3, depending on his recovery.

 

[sometennisdot]

Are people already forgetting last AO Semi

MAN YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR PHUCK UP

This is my favorite rivalry. Doesn't get near enough matches between them

 

[20 20 20]

Sisipass in 4, I feel like he slide under the radar

 

[Forgive Me Father]

Medvedev in 5 hours, hopefully.

 

[NeutralFan]

Dani is a bad match up for Stefano and i am sorry his tournament ends in semi

 

[Checkmate]

Dani Melves in 3 consecutive TB's with only one mini break in each TB.

Quality tennis from both.

 

[ForehandCross]

Medvedev in 4

Very pessimistic about this one, Med had 3 tough matches before this semi. This quarter took a lot. If Med wins it will be amazing, but Stefanos is playing as well as he can. Daniil will be tired.

USER=782576]@Forgive Me Father[/USER] Have you checked the timestamps?

yes but it seems when you go by the rules your internet connection is actually not fast enough to be the first thread

 

[Kralingen]

Stef's volleying will be the key to this match. I find that Medvedev is really struggling with an aggressive shot + move forward combination, and Tsitsipas is (laughably) one of the best in the world at this offensive transition and footwork moving towards the net.

I think Tsits has a chance but ultimately his returning may doom him. Certainly don't expect a routine 3-0 like last year though.

One win over the overrated Sinner and you already losing hope for your boy!? C'mon Forehand cross.
In reality Tsitsipas is extremely good matchup for Medvedev, and the guy can recover physically in the next 2 days, no doubt about that one.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[aman92]

Totally different dynamics coming into the match.. Med was fresh and Tsitsipas was gassed after the 5hr Nadal match

 

[Russeljones]

I went with an anticlimactic straight sets win for Medvedev. I enjoy both players' games but I think the Russian is more determined. He is also, stylistically, a bit of an antidote to the Tsitsipas play.

 

[mike danny]

I have a feeling that there's no way Medvedev is losing this. FAA may have awoken him.

Then again, he's no Djokodal stamina wise, so who knows?

I will keep my optimism reserved until the first set , if Med is physically fine and playing decently, I will side with him even if Stef wins the first set.

 

[3loudboys]

The way Toiletsipas played today has a good shot at Octoboy - very close one.

 

[Nadal_King]

This feels like a Djokovic vs Federer semi final

 

[Picmun]

Oh my god.. Med says he would do what Novak do..crowd boos the hell out of it.

You surprised ?

 

[Krish0608]

No predictions. Bring it on Meddy.

You thought this up all by yourself?

 

[Jonesy]

So the plot finally arrived at the scene of the death of Adonis. Med in 3.

 

[aman92]

You surprised ?

Still hilarious though

 

[3loudboys]

[Russeljones]

Okay, you get a pass.

 

[cloudluc]

Medvedev in 5 hours, hopefully.

6, please!

 

[dapchai]

Some comparison:
Last year, Stef was mentally exhausted after defeating Nadal from 2 sets down in the QF while Daniil streamrolled through Rublev; Daniil had more rest.
This year, Daniil will probably be exhausted after defeating FAA fom 2 sets down in the QF while Stef manhandled Sinner; Stef has more rest.

An anticlimatic 3-0 for Stef or another 5-set thriller? Another blockbuster.

 

[Picmun]

I am not worthy........

 

[Jonesy]

Med in 3. Tsitsipas looks cool against lesser opponents. But the Russian knows that he is a boy that doesn't know how to fight.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It could go 5 sets this. Neither have looked special so far. Still it feels like the winner is playing for 2nd place here.

 

[movies99]

Hoping for 5 set 5 hour match.

 

[Yugram]

Tsitsipas in 4 based on form.

 

[ForehandCross]

Med probably loses, but he will make Stef play at least 3 hours. Nadal if he himself isn't tired, has a chance of a lifetime to win this AO.

 

[Fed881981]

Medvedev put himself in a tough position after today’s QF. Nadal had a tough match too, but he will have an extra day of rest.

The worst outcome would be a 5-setter. I want Medvedev to win (because he has a better chances at defeating Nadal should the latter make it to the final). But, if Tsitsipas wins the first two sets, then I would want him to close it in three.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Medvedev all the way against Tsitsipas if he s not to tire! 4 hours and 45 minute match pretty hard to recover from! Medvedev needs to keep the match 4 sets or less.

Go Rafa! Rafa going for his 21st GS! why troll Rafa? He a likable guy! . RF and Rafa are real friends outside of tennis.

 

[Fed881981]

Because I rather have Djokovic (and of course Federer) having the record than Nadal.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

why troll Rafa? He a likable guy! .

the nadal???... likable?! ewww...
