Yeah, not good use of energy especially in the 5th set when things began to unravel. His motor does run hot though and the Australian heat certainly didn't help.

He really did lose his shit in the break between 4th and 5th set when nadal took the medical timeout. Thats when the match was over as he lost the first 3 games of set 5. Then it was just error after error snowballing for him

Needs some yoga or therapy or some shit to learn how to keep it cool.

Played right into Nadal’s hands. Making an enemy of the umpire is also never a good idea.

The umpire in my opinion did a fine job not escalating things when he very easily could have given Shapo a code violation. At any rate, Shapo and Felix delivered an ATP Cup win and Denis had a good run to the quarter-finals, that's a great start to 2022.

This was great at the end … that shoulder shrug lol

They have a beautiful facility in my dads hometown up north. Local municipal courts … not private or anything … 1 grass, 1 clay, 2 hard courts.

My cousin visited us 5 years ago and i took him to the asphalt courts at Rupert park in east van lmao. Had to dodge the tents of the homeless

6-3 6-4 6-2 for Tsitsipas over Sinner. Ridiculous level of tennis

What an epic match between Felix and Medvedev. I woke up in time to see the 5th set.

 

[dash]

6-7 3-6 7-6 7-5 6-4 for Medvedev - Felix did have a match point in set 3. Damn.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Ugh. Deserved more.

Ugh. Deserved more.

He is right there BBB. I wish I would have watched the entire match (4 hours and 42 minutes), but I needed sleep lol. Felix did take a medical timeout in the 5th set to get his foot/ankle re-taped, he certainly left it all out on the court.

 

[dash]

What a point! And this was in the 1st set.

 

[dash]

By the way, total points won in the match:

Felix - 182
Medvedev - 182

Started too late for me.

At least the 2 Canadians died with their boots on.

So Medvedev called the umpire a "small cat" last night lol

Rafa comes back from two sets to love down to win grand slam #21 over Danill Medvedev.

Some real fun shit has gone down at Agrodome. Off top of my head, steve nash winning bball high school provincials there … the filming of Rocky IV (with catering by Churches Chicken) … my kid played an away game there and a mouse fell from the rafters and went splat on the ice …

/this wasnt fun though
