One thing I have noticed throughout the tournament is the amount of spectators who are oblivious to what's going on. Taking ages to get to seats etc and not listening to the umpires.

Aussies - they're probably drunk

Crowd are really getting to Medvedev now.

C’mon, another Chernobyl can’t be too far away, he looks ready to blow.

Yeah, he's always been a bit iffy mentally. He looks ready to explode with rage.

Vamos! No idea how he’s done it but Nadal looked to have found some more power and pace in that set.

Edit: Did he just say the balls boys are retarded?

Into a fourth we go…

_ian_ · 30 Jan 2022 at 11:59

Game on!

Reuben klang · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:17

We going to a fifth then???

el_dazza · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:18

Nadal breaks! Medvedev has completely lost his mind

Psycho Ned · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:18

Well well well looks like it wasn't game over after all!

Medvedev winding the crowd up isn't going to end well for him either.

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:18

Didn’t see this coming at 2-0, Rafa’s having to play unreal tennis just to compete with Medvedev who looks to have lost a bit of pace.

Agree, I still think medv will win though.

I hope not

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:32

This is a massive game in the grand scheme of things, Nadal well on top but Medvedev keeps fighting to stay level.

Edit: 6 months off and at the age of 35 I did not expect this level of tennis from Nadal and nearly 4 hours in to the match too.

el_dazza · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:35

3 breaks in a row!

Reuben klang · 30 Jan 2022 at 12:36

Crowd really effecting medv here

Thing is as well, if he’s fit for the French he should stroll that as well.

Unreal, 2-2 and looks to be the physically fitter of the two now. The Aussies sure get some luck with value for money with the mens finals :cool:

Psycho Ned · 30 Jan 2022 at 13:00

Into a fifth!

If Nadal wins this then it has to be the greatest of all his slams. He's dragging a lad 10 years his junior into the deep deep grass here.

Machine.

UTmaniac · 30 Jan 2022 at 13:03

Come on ~~Tim~~ Rafael!
