ATP Finals Final: Zverev vs Medvedev

[Sudacafan]

Sodoma is in the butt gomorrah in the mouth and with animals

Thanks for the clarity of the concepts in your explanation.

I’m sensing Zverev is tightening up.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Unpopular opinion but I respect Zverev's body language in this tournament, he looks very focused all the time no matter what happens. Rublev should take example

 

[James P]

Snuffed out. Good hold by Zed.

 

[Larry Duff]

Nice hold

 

[NatF]

Only 5 pages. Ouch.

He’s got that “no way I’m going to lose this” look

I wouldn't say it's an unpopular opinion, more of a fact. He has show great focus and attitude this week.
He needs to have the exact same focus in the last 2 weeks of January, May, early July and/or early September.

 

[Hitman]

Zed is not dead today.

Two games away.

He looked pretty down and frustrated late in the first set against Novak but managed to turn it around.

 

[The Fedfather]

Zverev can sense victory. Got that swag in his posture

 

[Kralingen]

Zverev's botting under pressure is so frustrating for the opponent.

Nothing Medvedev can do on those two giant first serves at deuce. And the 2nd serve at 220kph wasn't bad either.

respect to Z. He has come to win this week.

 

[tudwell]

Not enough for the break, but gives a bit of hope that he’ll get back even on the scoreboard before the match is over.

 

[abmk]

Geico Zverev says the umpire.
2 games away.

 

[Midaso240]

Ridiculous Zverev predictions incoming. "Zverev to win 3 slams next year and get to #1"

 

[Terenigma]

Only 5 pages. Ouch.

Because this match has been quick with high quality serving from Zverev, there haven't been that many rallies to really have deep conversations about.

 

[junior74]

This fight makes me miss the semi-retired ballerinas

 

[MeatTornado]

Ridiculous Zverev predictions incoming. "Zverev to win 3 slams next year and get to #1"

Also paired with "Medvedev 1 slam wonder confirmed, won't ever win again."

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

I know Medvedev has a Slam in his bag, but could 2 ATP Finals + Olympic gold - girlfriend beatings place Zverev at the same level or marginally ahead of Medvedev?

 

[Gazelle]

Looking at this match and the RR, what the hell happened in Paris?

 

[James P]

Ridiculous Zverev predictions incoming. "Zverev to win 3 slams next year and get to #1"

Also paired with "Medvedev 1 slam wonder confirmed, won't ever win again."

I won't be on the forum quite as much, but I can't wait for the offseason pontification to begin...

 

[Gazelle]

I know Medvedev has a Slam in his bag, but could 2 ATP Finals + Olympic gold - girlfriend beatings place Zverev marginally ahead of Medvedev?

No, the slam is too big.

 

[Terenigma]

This fight makes me miss the semi-retired ballerinas

Federer? Sure. but Nadal is about as graceful as a bull in a china shop on rollerskates whilst high.

 

[Third Serve]

Only 5 pages. Ouch.

Last year's final made it to 25 pages lol

I blame Zverev

 

[liriel]

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but it feels like forever since we had a really memorable high quality final at this event. Most of the best matches that stick with in recent years have been pre-final.

I know Medvedev has a Slam in his bag, but could 2 ATP Finals + Olympic gold - girlfriend beatings still place Zverev marginally ahead of Medvedev?

Girlfriend beatings.. Mentioning that. Everyone else forgot?
Im surprised what happened to Medv. He won with Zverev a few days ago easily. Boring finale.

 

[Slicehand]

Thanks for the clarity of the concepts in your explanation.

I always try to be as scientific as posible in my definitions, im really glad somebody apreciates my efforts, now you have unlocked the real definition: they were two biblical cities which were suposedly destroyed because of their sins, the relation of sodoma with sodomy... i couldnt tell you how that evolved that way, maybe it was a pain in the ass for the people there that god destroyed their city

 

[Kralingen]

Looking at this match and the RR, what the hell happened in Paris?

Exhausted from Vienna+Dimitrov match for sure. It's difficult to win two tournaments two weeks in a row for a 6'6" player.

Zverev looked basically zombified in that one. Strangely Med is the one who looks out of it now.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

I wouldn't say it's an unpopular opinion, more of a fact. He has show great focus and attitude this week.
He needs to have the exact same focus in the last 2 weeks of January, May, early July and/or early September.

It's oddly refreshing to see a guy only really celebrating when he wins the match rather than fist pumping and yelling come one at every point or game won

 

[Krish872007]

I know Medvedev has a Slam in his bag, but could 2 ATP Finals + Olympic gold - girlfriend beatings place Zverev at the same level or marginally ahead of Medvedev?

US Open win probably trumps all of Zed's achievements this year. Med single-handedly prevented the Grand Slam.

 

[liriel]

Slam is the most important of course. I feel so bad for Medv..

 

[Kralingen]

Last year's final made it to 25 pages lol

I blame Zverev

Domi the Dominator Thiem is the biggest brand in tennis.

 

[EllieK]

Zed is not dead today.

Two games away.

Can’t see anything less than a straight sets victory today. Meddy less than and Sascha playing like a beast.

Oh now i get it, sodomy is a sin, so sodoma is the city of sins, cool aint it? Bible is a hell of a book

 

[Terenigma]

1 game away and is looking far far too good on serve today. Medvedev needs to start praying for a bad service game (assuming he makes it through his own)

 

[junior74]

Thought this would be a dramatic match

Let's see if he can serve it out

 

[MeatTornado]

I know Medvedev has a Slam in his bag, but could 2 ATP Finals + Olympic gold - girlfriend beatings place Zverev marginally ahead of Medvedev?

It's a slam plus 2 more finals along with a YEC of his own.

So, no. Most certainly not. Not like we're talking about Thomas Johansson with just a random slam title in his bag and little else.

 

[MeatTornado]

Last year's final made it to 25 pages lol

I blame Zverev

I blame the Bald Zverevs...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Really surprised by how badly Medvedev has been serving today. Kudos to Zverev for a really well played match. I have noticed real improvements this week in his game.

 

[The Fedfather]

Zverev rock-solid today while Medvedev let himself down. Daniil had an easy SF, maybe that wasn't a good thing.

 

[zvelf]

Medvedev's level is down, but between today and yesterday, Zverev is playing at his peak. When that booming serve of his is on, he's nearly unbreakable.

 

[Terenigma]

Now that was a fantastic point to stay in this match, excellent lob to finish it!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Zverev winning points with his FH from the baseline, what happens

 

[James P]

This will be the third final played between them, and the first Zed has won should he finish this off.

 

[liriel]

Not the image I want to have as the last tournament of this year. Even this forum got quiet. Medv "got it". Novak played better yesterday.

 

[Kralingen]

filthy little slice+lob combo from Med but then he falls in love with the drop shot to get back to deuce. Sad.

 

[Krish872007]

Zverev to serve for it.
Could become the 4th repeat YEC winner since the start of the century.

 

[Terenigma]

Last year's final made it to 25 pages lol

I blame Zverev

I blame the fact there is no free BBC coverage in the UK anymore and the only place to watch the match is on paid services or by yargh harghing it.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Dr. Claw about to get him next time. Wow

 

[Nostradamus]

Question is will she give sasha a big hug ??

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Do or die time for Medvedev. I sense we are going to be having the trophy presentation in just a few minutes....
