He took another fallI didn't see it. What caused the Med delay in the last game?

Cam would kill Med on this clay court![]()
Bold of you to doubt the Rio Open champion.Doubt it.

If Carlos meets Med in the final, I think he wins in straights. Med isn't playing well ever since he arrived.
Med's playing better than when he played Zedrot yesterday, but not in Dubai form.He started this match pretty damn well, He's kinda fell off since. Not sure what happened.
Agreed. Carlos has too much variety for this version of Medvedev.If Carlos meets Med in the final, I think he wins in straights. Med isn't playing well ever since he arrived.
Med played some good ball today but not consistently. He sort of fades away for patches of every match at IW this year. He has 2 days rest now, he should be great to go on Saturday and should have little trouble with Tiafoe anyway.Agreed. Carlos has too much variety for this version of Medvedev.
He has the variety, but does he have the shot tolerance?Agreed. Carlos has too much variety for this version of Medvedev.

Well, if Med plays as well as he did that game to break, he can definitely beat Alcaraz.
I agree. It’s disappointing they’d skip over a live match with a quality doubles team for a replay. Doubles in Indian wells for me tends to be some of the most entertaining tennis of the year with all the singles players and team matchups. They didn’t even really upload highlights for them until the semis/finals which is a missed opportunity.I am wondering why the Isner/Sock match is not on but a repeat of Tiafoe is on the the Tennis Channel?
I’m a big fan of both, but Fritz in terms of weapons and potential to win big titles is definitely superior to Paul.I honestly think Paul is just better than Felix at this point in time. He’s more reliable, has a much better BH, better defender. FAA has a higher peak potential but this doesn’t feel fluky. Feels like the superior player being superior.
Yeah, Tiafoe definitely has a higher peak potential compared to Norrie. He's probably not as consistent, but that partly because he is more creative, and I'd prefer that he kept the creativity rather than playing like a robot.Just look at his strokes; his forehand is much more lethal and his net game and touch are better as well.
U wot m8?Indian Wells proudly promoting two flags above court 1 stadium (U.S. and Ukraine). If that isn't a political statement I don't know what is.
And a very young Final 4. Med is senior citizen at 27; Tiafoe 25; Sinner 21 and Alcaraz is still teenage at 19.Solid foursome for the semis. Should be a fun championship weekend!
Still doubting Elina will return soon? She has announced her plan to play Charleston and the tournament granted her a WC. Main draw begins 3 April.doubt it but she is busy making headlines these days
Alcaraz is 19. Blimey, that seems madAnd a very young Final 4. Med is senior citizen at 27; Tiafoe 25; Sinner 21 and Alcaraz is still teenage at 19.
For a little more than a month it’s blimey time. His 20th is 5 May, a Cinco de Mayo baby.Alcaraz is 19. Blimey, that seems mad
Interesting to see how the crowd will react. I assume it will be 75/25 for the American, but Med is popular in IW and he'll have his fair share of supporters in the stands.Congrats to women's doubles. Time to get on with the show

Med's a big step up in quality from everyone else he's played this week.Foe looks a bit unsure of himself second service game.
