What a match from Nadal - would love to see him win it

Looks like the other semi is going to be a lot closer

Good opening set, and the second is even better, they're flying through these games!

 

[Ashish Doshi]

Medvedev doesn't hang around

 

[englishpremier]

Oh Medvedev giving the umpire a ton of abuse. haha. Love it.

 

[SoliD]

He didn't have much of the crowd but he's completely lost them now. That was Djokovic esque tantrum

 

[Ashish Doshi]

he threw that set away

I missed it!

I missed it!

After second set, he just launched into the umpire.

Tsitsipas seems to have lost his head a little at the end of the third set, playing some very wayward shots.

After second set, he just launched into the umpire.

They show the highlights on BBC2 so I'll enjoy them as a helpful distraction for my eldest dog being ill.

Enjoy watching it in real time guys!

when the match is so tight, these small margins make a difference

Greek **** in coaching shocker, just ban his dad from the court FFS. Cheats, the pair of them.

How many warnings do you get? Then what happens?

2 warnings, then point forfeit, then game forfeit and so on

Think Medvedev will be the strong favourite in the final if he makes it through in four, match has been played at a blistering pace and won’t have taken much out of him.

Edit: 5-1 pretty much confirms it, he’s played immaculate tennis in this set, found the corners and painted the lines with every shot.

He is ruthless isn't he? I agree he is favourite, but can't count out Rafa - especially given he can go clear as the greatest ever (by slams won)

Think Medvedev apologised to the umpire when he shook hands at the end of the match

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Gonna go 3-1 Medvedev in the final, he’s completely turned his game around since getting the psychologist on board. Still prone to the odd melt down on court but he’s now capable of putting it behind him.

 

[Ashish Doshi]

He is through - that finished very quickly given how tight the first 2 and 3/4 sets were.

They've been doing it for years. The punishment is high enough. It should be 1st warning a point. Second warning a service game. Third warning disqualified. He dad often doesn't wear his mask correctly either though he was better today.

Looking forward to the Medvedev Nadal final, but got a padel court booked, so only going to catch the first hour or so.
