2019 US Open

[nuraman00]

Medvedev is playing in his first career 5 setter, and it's at the 2019 US Open Finals.

 

[nuraman00]

Oh, Medvedev has played 5 setters, he's just never won them. He's 0-4 in 5 setters.

Nadal in major trouble

 

[gohusk]

What a mess. I'm all for the US Open crowd to be a little looser but shut the fuck up and let the players play.

Who is forcing you to watch?

 

[bksballer89]

I agree with Pat. The Umpire need to stop being a pussy and letting Nadal dictates when time is call on Medvedev service games

 

[bksballer89]

What a match.

WOW

Glad I caught the end. Nadal barely hangs on. Medvedev looking very Djokervic like these days. He will be winning majors at some point.

Heckuva final.

Nadal is still a beast.

I don't know. Medvedev reminds me of Dolgopolov in what he decides to do. I don't know what he's going to do.

There's a few other players I like more, in that I know how they're going to play.

 

[nuraman00]

This went 5 sets, but I wasn't that enthralled by it. Kind of like the 2018 AO Finals. Another 5 setter, but it wasn't as compelling to me as other 4 or 5 set Finals I've seen.

He should be kicking himself over this one. Way too many unforced errors in the first two sets and when he figured out that he had to go after winners with all those shallow balls that Nadal was serving up he gave him just about all he could handle.

He already done more than Dolgopolov ever did lol. Isn't even close.

He won a masters 1000, made a GS finals, and is a top 5 player in the world.

Medvedev is only 23 and will continue to get better

By the time his career is gone, how many more majors will Rafa have than Fed?

Only 33 and only thing I see possibly slowing him down in the next 2 or 3 years is injuries. I'm going to say 3 or 4 by the time his career is over.

 

[bksballer89]

Berrettini & Dimitrov are the huge movers in the latest ATP rankings.

Berrettini up 13 spots to #12 while Dimitrov up 53 spots to #25.

I dont see him winning any more non clay court titles. He practically died in this one. The wear and tear will get to him quickly the way he plays. Best case I think he gets to 20.

So he only wins 1 more French Open for the rest of his career? I think even if you're correct about him not winning another hard court title, he has at least 2 and more like 3 FO titles left in him. There's been no sign of anyone getting close to him on Clay.

very fun match

the touch and finesse shown by both sides and the ridiculous hustle on the court was really fun to watch. It was a very different kind of final and I loved it.

Yea sorry that should be 22.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

You never know. His 2018 AO was easier than his 2017 AO. It just depends.

I realize it's just my insignificant opinion, but I really do believe he's won his last major.

I hope I'm wrong because I love Roger.

Like on Saturday, any other time I'd have been 100% behind Serena for #24.

But I had to pull for Bianca.
