Yeah blew 400 mill on a doomed yes campaign in the middle of a cost of living crisis...

600k migrants last year, a record by a very long margin... not sustainable by any stretch of the imagination...

He's a **** wit and he's running this country into the ground...
400 mill? Check your numbers. Utter nonsense. Compare that to the 150 BILLION wasted by your mob on some doomed submarines. You're an embarrassment supporting the like of Scott Morrison and Dutton. Imagine fleeing to Hawaii while our country is on fire? You vote for that? Utterly sick. You should be ashamed of yourself voting for that. Who goes to Hawaii while our nation burns?

Big respect to Daniil for his fearlessness in the first two sets. But in the next sets it was hard to watch him, he played through extreme fatigue. He has nothing to blame himself for. Great tournament for him. Congratulations to Sinner on his first slam.

Not the time for it. I was told that Australians are nice. They could’ve just stayed silent for couple of seconds.

Medvedev is very good at giving the loser speeches.

People are not going to stay silent lol what are you talking about... did you see the riots in France?? We're not at that stage

You should be ashamed of yourself cheering for him. Yuck.

My mob? You assume I love Scomo...

How much debt did that ****wit Dan Andrews put Vic in? How many billions??

Labor are an absolute **** hole, too bad there's too many idiots that can't see it...

Congrats to Sinner! He could have a 2011 type of breakthrough season.

I commented that Sinner was not battle tested coming into the final. It is his first slam final. But he had fresh legs. And Med was exactly the opposite. I therefore gave it 50-50. The semifinals probably made the difference at the end. 5 setter comeback win against Zverev vs. an easy 4 setter against Novak.

Going forward, the Top 4 plus Zverev will likely battle it out in big tournaments. Plus Nadal on clay. Draws will play a big role since there are some matchup issues among them.

Three professional athletes Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Danil Medvedev drinking up a storm.
Waiter shuffles in and out constantly making sure that everyone fine to make sure no "dram shot" issues.

Jim Kelly: I never thought I'll see another Buffalo Bills team lose another game due to a missed field
goal.

Thurman Thomas: At minimum, our record of four straight Super Bowl losses won't be broken.

Meddy: But you guys were blowned out in 3 of those 4 games, I lost 3 GS finals in a fifth set and twice
winning the opening sets. You guys need to hold my Moloko Plus.

I love that Sinner won and super happy for him

But god he looks and sounds like a young sales associate accepting “employee of the month”

Get some excitement and charisma going man!! You just accomplished something 99.9% of tennis players never have!

That's exactly what I was referring too when saying yesterday that I find the WTA top players more charismatic : their press conferences and speeches are often more fun or insightful. Most of the guys sound like politically correct bots saying the same thing to me.

He knows there is more to life than stars and glitters.... very grounded bloke. Expect no "Hochmut" from him !
Love the way he spoke about his parents / childhood

Medvedev's interviews are always interesting. He actually comes up with genuine things that he's thinking about.

Wow

Congratulations to Sinner for clearing the last hurdle as well. He is now Grand Slam champion. Just 6 months ago he had not even won Masters. 7 months ago he had not reached slam semis. But right now he is looking like the man of the year. With this win and past 3 months in 2023, I am starting to believe he will become the year end number 1.

Sad, was rooting for Daniil.
Med didn't choke. He just didn't have enough left in the tank to win. No shame on him. I don't recall seeing a single "chokey" point out there in the last three sets. Shaky legs, yes...
Agree, he choked against Nadal but this wasn't a choke. Sinner just clearly raised his level and Medvedev fought very well.

Sinner has now won 10 of his last 11 matches against top 5 players. Bullish for tennis esp Alcaraz as it must take a load of his shoulders as constantly being hailed as tennis' saviour

An incredible match. After two lost sets, Sinner knocked himself out of nervousness and gradually gained the upper hand in the interlude from the 3rd set. Refined the strikes, increased their speed, included more DTL shots. He sealed his win with an aggressive FH DTL winner. Congratulations Jannik and his fans.

Honestly, while I’m not a fan of Sinner yet, I would prefer him over Alcaraz. The latter just irritates me. Sinner looks much more mature as a person. I don’t know how to explain it.

I understand your delight right now and you're a great Sinner fan but comments like this are uncalled for, especially given how hard Medvedev fought out there tonight and how bad his fans must be feeling at the moment.
Agree, in matches like these there are no losers. Congratulations to both gentlemen.

I think they're both incredibly mature for being kids. Most ppl forget what it's like being that age. They're two different personas both great for the sport.

Congrats to Sinner, but feel for Medvedev although i supported Sinner Med did all the right things first 2 sets. Probably earlier matches cost him. But Sinner also deserves credit to finish his opponents easier.

I agree, even though Djokovic played the worst match of his career, and Medvedev was extremely tired, but he had to finish these matches. Sinner is not a choker, that's for sure. But I need to look at his next slams to make a conclusion whether he's champion material or not.

There are no losers. Yes, congrats to both winners! Except for Meds who lost the match. This isn’t the Oprah show. It’s a professional tennis match. One player wins, one loses. Even the freakin’ Kia guy said it out loud. Meds appeared to give his all if that was your actual point but don’t tell him he didn’t lose; I think he would find it condescending nonsense.

Congrats to the kid. I just woke up and saw the news. Gen Z proves that Millennials are just incompetent no matter their job.
