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

[ForehandCross]

Booed him and Yet he served and yet he won!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[bertrevert]

Woah wow way to close it out amazing start of... <strongera>

 

[-NN-]

Level of play? How should we know, he'll never play the level of opponents Murray played.

If he goes on to have Edberg/Becker sort of success in Slams the argument that Murray would have been as great as them in some other eras will surely gain steam. How exciting.

 

[abmk]

med finishes it. Good that he managed to do it in less than 3 hours.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

STRONK performance from Medvedev. He broke Stefanos down quite expertly, meltdown and all. Good show m8.

tsit plays like complete garbage against this guy. Med about to be 7-2 all time .

 

[D.Nalby12]

Fourth Slam final (All HC) for Medvedev. He has really become Novak 2.0 on hard courts..

 

[BeatlesFan]

Talk about a cold handshake at the net.

 

[phl92]

Watched only last 20minutes. What was there with the judge the commentators mentioned? What happened?

 

[yokied]

I think the correct read is not that Stef melted down and lost. It’s more that Med melted down and gifted Stef a set he didn’t deserve.

 

[Zodd]

Call me crazy, but it really seemed like the coaching monitoring had an impact on the match

 

[I Am Finnish]

I missed the handshake how was it?

 

[Tshooter]

 

[The Fedfather]

A good match from Med. Could've finished in straights but perhaps it's even better that he needed to get over some mental hurdles here, toughened for the final.

 

[Russeljones]

Apologised to the umpire even.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Medvedev a win away from being the world #1.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

 

[ForehandCross]

I missed the handshake, how was it??

 

[Red Rick]

Typical Medvedev, throwing a hissy fit when losing a set then his opponent self destructs and he's suddenly too care.

I missed the handshake how was it?

Existent.

 

[Zodd]

I missed the handshake how was it?

Cold but overall uneventful

 

[UnforcedTerror]

OMG WHAT A GOAT lmao.

HE'S SO EPIC.

 

[zagor]

He is just channeling peak Djokovic all of a sudden!!

He's Novak successor in terms of playing against the crowd (and thriving on it) and amping up the aggression on big points.

They're alike, it's not surprising he mentioned Novak the other day.

 

[Zetty]

I missed the handshake how was it?

I'm not sure their palms actually touched before turning away from each other, peak avoidance

 

[Sentinel]

Medvedev a win away from being the world #1.

He'll win on Sunday.

Medvedev is better. Bigger stronger and mentally more consistent. He will win more slams than Murray. We are witnessing a potential all time great 4-5 slams or more. The serve and the double handed backhand are some of the best shots in the open era.

 

[Krish0608]

This is a bad loss for Tsitsipas. He needs to sort out this matchup. Develop a dependable slice and exploit Med's court positioning. He is not going to outhit Medvedev from the baseline. He needs to develop more craft. It's so obvious. I really thought he would change up the tactics from last year. Trading groundies is such a bad idea considering how Tsitsipas doesn't hit that flat.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Medvedev a win away from being the world #1.

Medvedev no 1 or Nadal 21. Not good for Novak either way.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

In the end, it was the shorter of the two semis

Not by much though. Both guys should be ready. Anyway i expect a good match.

 

[ibbi]

It's like the effort that he had to put in to live with Medvedev for 3 sets just totally broke the poor lad. Like if not for the meltdown in the second he'd likely have had nothing to show for it all.

 

[RF-18]

Med deserves the #1. Go and take it on sunday, it's yours mate!

 

[mike danny]

Medvedev still too much for Tsitsipas on HC. Even after playing almost 5h vs FAA.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Good match for about two and a half sets before Med's quality shone through and he pulled away.

Positive tournament for Tsitsipas though, exceeded my expectations and improved his level through the week.

 

[DariaGT]

So happy for Meds, justice over the sneaky Greek is pure bliss
and a big downer to the nasty crowd.
Shame it Meds to go full Macca mode to get Ref to wake up.

 

[Azure]

He is/was. You wouldn't know it from TTW posts about him these days (weak era this, weak era that, mental midget etc.) but he def was.

Why does that bother you? I am not a Fed fan as a personality but when he played it was mesmerizing. Similarly one would think rafa can’t play on anything other than clay but really who cares lol. The last couple of decades were awesome. Thats all that matters

 

[RF-18]

Lets see TTW historians make fun of Med some more.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Four threads for the final

Sissypas’ father couldn’t stop coaching him, Medvedev lost it and lashed out on the umpire.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Lets see TTW historians make fun of Med some more.

Let's see you hype Berrettini some more

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He'll win on Sunday.

We shall see. Don’t overlook nadal.

 

[-NN-]

Let's see you hype Berrettini some more

Tini is hard-capped at 8/10, but almost always plays at 8/10 (which is a credit to him). No Slams for him.

 

[zagor]

Reckon he'll outdo Murray's career? Also in terms of play level, not just accomplishment...

Hard to gauge, because Murray had prime big 3 to contend with.

That said, I was never sold on Murray's peak level. That 2nd serve alone and losing big matches in straights so often just doesn't do it for me. I think Med might outdo him in terms of HC peak level, he's nowhere near Murray on grass (and clay so far) though.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

Medvedev no 1 or Nadal 21. Not good for Novak either way.

It will fire up Novak for the rest of the season.

 

[RF-18]

Let's see you hype Berrettini some more

He made the SF didn't he? That's another successfull run.

 

[Rozroz]

This is a bad loss for Tsitsipas. He needs to sort out this matchup. Develop a dependable slice and exploit Med's court positioning. He is not going to outhit Medvedev from the baseline. He needs to develop more craft. It's so obvious. I really thought he would change up the tactics from last year. Trading groundies is such a bad idea considering how Tsitsipas doesn't hit that flat.

emmm... he should just replace daddy and move on.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Cold but overall uneventful

Buddies for life

 

[BeatlesFan]

I missed the handshake how was it?

Tsits barely shook Meds hand, super cold. Med sort of laughed.

 

[Azure]

Lol why does meddy keep mentioning Novak in every post match interview?

 

[Quan Que]

He's always a great interview! So proud of our new #1!!!

 

[NatF]

Good interview to be fair.

 

[Zodd]

haha - Medvedev sees himself as the 21st slam gatekeeper
