Lol what a quintessential medvedev lob.
Then a good serve to save the BP.

This feels like a very dangerous situation, Medvedev feels like the better player but Arthur keeps holding on getting past all the half chances.

Those guys are on their last legs. We got Cilic also, who is 37 now.

Am I the only one seeing Federer swing in Arthur's FH?

I see it a little, but cannot say it is a like for like personally.

For one point even can you just stand close to the baseline on return?

Of course not like to like, the upper body rotation is different but the arm swing seems very similar

What in the world is this game? Has he given up on the set or is he feeling physically off?
Kudos to this. Ultimately, the djokovic fanbase was due to get a taste of their own medicine after all the tons and tons vile and toxic stuff they posted against Federer and Nadal when they were on their way out. It's clear they are unable to take it as well as they could dish it out.

Rinderknech's strategy to be honest makes him the favorite for the 3rd set. Medvedev will have to serve like he did against Tien to make it matter.

Arthur's FH has incredible disguise. Medvedev if he doesn't serve well is going to be in hell of a trouble

Got too cute with that dropper but its scary how good that FH looks right now. Its powerful deep and has lots of disguise.

The pressure is on. Rinderkneck takes 2nd and well deserved. The doubts will creep in to meddy’s mind

Rinderkneck is great at net.

What in the hell happened to Djokovic? Was not expecting that result! If Rinderknech wins, not only will we have a maiden Masters titelist, the winner will win it as their first ATP title! Or Medvedev wins the next two matches and breaks his own 'can't win the same tournament twice' curse.

Yeah, nothing off the ground is working because Rinderknech is just not going to engage in baseline wars. And Daniil can't play the net as well as De Minaur match today.
The moment his serve gives out, this is over.

What's this trust with drop shots? I just don't get it. I know it worked that game, but still very weird strategy

Rinderkneck doing well on serve! He playing well. Meddy will keep fighting though. It becoming a slugfest

There is a degree of unexplained lack of energy from both guys, especially Rinderknech who should be pumped to be playing the way he is. The conditions are seemingly worse and it seems its getting to both

What kind of black magic is that family doing? lol. How are they playing the best tennis of their careers now at the same time in the same tournament?

The problem is the same, if you allow an option for any pro to win a point against you on serve 70% of the time with the same strategy, you just won't break. Rinderknech is using spot serving and SnV to exploit Medvedev's positioning.
I am not even sure why he is maintaining that positioning when in so many matches he has experimented recently.

Arthur's legs are going away, the spring is not the same anymore. Yet Medvedev seems to have no way to break him since set 1

Meddy looks the favourite as he looks in better physical shape here. Let’s see how it goes!

Its been like that since the second set, but Med isn't helping himself with the positioning.

Poor on that pass, he was there for the taking. Weird match.

Well this is weird, why is Rinderknech suddenly trying to rally more? Especially if he is tired?
