Australian Open 2022

and he’s right handed

Huh? Is he? He plays left handed.

Though I'm left-handed and play right-handed in all sports.

 

[Hodders]

Yup Nadal is right handed!

Uncle Tony got him to switch believing that having his dominant hand "guiding" his two handed backhand would be a good move....

 

[el_dazza]

Break point Medvedev.. surely not..

 

[el_dazza]

It's 5-5! This is never going to end

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Nadal choked that, pressure on him must be unreal.

 

[Psycho Ned]

What are the tie break rules in the 5th at this slam? 12-12 like Wimbledon?

 

[el_dazza]

What are the tie break rules in the 5th at this slam? 12-12 like Wimbledon?

Nope. 6-6 and it's a champions tie break from there.. although Nadal has break point!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

What are the tie break rules in the 5th at this slam? 12-12 like Wimbledon?

10 point tiebreaker and got to fancy the bigger server at that stage of a match.

Edit: Nadal breaks again, unreal effort.

 

[el_dazza]

Nadal breaks AGAIN!! Whatever next?!

 

[SoliD]

Huge miss.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Can he do it this time?

 

[el_dazza]

It almost feels inevitable that Medvedev breaks here

 

[el_dazza]

SURELY this is it now. What a time for an ace that was!

And he's done it! What an epic, epic match

 

[CaptainRAVE]

What a service game. Perfect Australian open outcome

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

GOAT

 

[SoliD]

What a win, Novak who?

 

[_ian_]

What a match!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Nadal is such a fighter. We’ve seen it so many times. Impressive.

 

[Reuben klang]

Fair play Rafa what a beast.

GOAT for me.
