Australian Open 2022 Final: Rafael Nadal vs Daniil Medvedev

[bertrevert]

Med footwork gone, just lunging at balls

 

[Uni_hiflyer]

Medvedev is still the favorite I think. He’s very tough to beat even when he’s not playing great

 

[Frenchy-Player]

Awful crown

 

[Krish0608]

Everyone root for Rafa please

He’s definitely winning this.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Going for broke should be unleashing off the ground, these poor droppers are not it unless he's trying to take Nadal's legs away.

Med is clearly fatigue as well.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

match isn’t over at all

Sure but I lost faith in him getting it done because he's been too stupid in this set. But yeah, he could still win.

Thank you!!

 

[Forgive Me Father]

Remember that thread about Med dominating 2004-2007 in Roger's place? He would not win a single slam in that timeframe in Roger's place.

So in no given time, in 16 tries, would Medvedev ever have been better than Hewitt/Roddick/Davydenko, Baghdatis, Gonzalez, etc.?

 

[Hold Me Back]

Moment of truth for Nadal.

 

[NeutralFan]

Everyone root for Rafa please

Bro, all Nadal's fans went in to hiding but i was here lol

 

[abmk]

med with a basic BH DTL UE.
30-0 nadal.

 

[Krish872007]

He’s gonna win more slams than Murray. That’s the likelihood. What a cruel reality we inhabit.

A disturbing thought

Rafa in a fifth set of the AO Final. Let's flip the script please.

Can't believe this thing could really run 5 hours. This sport is just ridiculous with the drama

 

[ACE of Hearts]

21 on the line. They want to see history. Medvedev appears to be obliging

Med has been complete garbage in this match. If nadal had a serve this would be a decent match.

 

[Sabrina]

Wow this 5th set could be the most important set in tennis history, no?

 

[Sentinel]

Ombullievabull.

Two sets all

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

RAFA takes it 6-4

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

It would be quite an achievement to win 2 sets with no first serve lol

He makes up for it with a bunch of other GOAT stuff

 

[Forgive Me Father]

5th set baby....



5th set.

 

[NeutralFan]

Lol Rafa hitting FHDTL

 

[slipgrip93]

longer than the 1980 borg vs. mcenroe match now..

 

[Ginger ninja]

He is not the next Djokovic. Nowhere close actually. Djokovic went 5 with Murray in the semis then came back on court for a 6 hr 5- setter against Nadal. Medvedev went 4 with Tsitsipas with an easy 4th set and is gassed in the 4th set.

Yes, but these back to back wins were well suspect. Nobody has done anything close to that in the history of tennis. 11 hrs of amazing quality tennis back to back….

Football is overall my favorite sport but man, the highs and lows of tennis are something else.

21 on the line. They want to see history. Medvedev appears to be obliging

But they wanted it in America, too... Medvedev was sharper there.

 

[abmk]

So in no given time, in 16 tries, would Medvedev ever have been better than Hewitt/Roddick/Davydenko, Baghdatis, Gonzalez, etc.?

8 tries - only on HC.
no, not better than hewitt, roddick, agassi, safin, nalby, davy, baggy, gonzo etc.

[onefineday]

Sadly, Rafa could have won this in 4.

 

[ewiewp]

what if Rafa won the 2nd set TB?

 

[MichaelNadal]

Bruh. This is fn amazing.

 

[Hold Me Back]

Nadal a savage, can he actually do it?

 

[Beulah Jesus]

Rafa!!!!! Simply amazing...

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Yessir.

Attaboy

 

[MaluTapiMau]

This is EPIC

 

[kevaninho]

Remember when Nadal had no chance versus Djokovic Mark two ? And that he couldn't go 5 sets anymore?

I think , win or lose , every hater has to take their hat off to what Rafa is doing here.

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Congratulations Rafa fans! This is an absolutely epic way of winning #21 and completing DCGS!

 

[ibbi]

Really wanted Rafa to serve first in the 5th if we get there

Rafa 5 sets in Australia final has so many bad memories it would definitely make it easier to sit through...

 

[guga_fan]

Yeah, he won in comfortable 4 against such a Nadal at USO 2011.

That Nadal had much better legs, very hard to compare him to Nadal's game today.

 

[MugOpponent]

Nadal -150 Medvedev +120. Wow.

 

[ScottleeSV]

Win or lose, Rafael Nadal is one crazy motherhumper

 

[James P]

Off, 5th set for all the marbles. Feeling pretty bad, man.

 

[Ledigs]

Gotta respect Nadal

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Let the best man win!!!!! No room for error for both players now!!!!!

 

[NeutralFan]

He makes up for it with a bunch of other GOAT stuff

Tbh if Rafa didnt choke the second set he would have won the match already. Very poor quality match from both ends

 

[sliceroni]

5th!

 

[TheNachoMan]

Would be GSM Nadal if he hadn’t choked that second set. Will it come back to bite him?

 

[killerboss]

5th Set!! Let's go Rafa let's beat both Nole's now. The on court and the off court one.

 

[Checkmate]

ANOTHER 5-FER for RAFA in Melbourne

 

[-NN-]

This gonna be all time brutal loss if Nadal takes this in five.

They're both tired. Time to man up in the 5th set, both players. Championship Nuts. Big Balls. Full James Hunt.

Problem for Med is even if Nadal is tired, he doesn't need his legs as much as Med to produce winning tennis. He's got that brutish shotmaking ability and the natural arm strength and torque. He can arm his way to a win. Med looks impotent.

 

[FedererDropShot]

Think Nadal has this.

Daniil's body has betrayed him...

 

[phl92]

lol I turned off in the 3rd set.. WHAT happened?????????????????????????? how did Nadal come back? it was totally over in the beginning of the 3rd set??
