Nadal v Medvedev
Nadal v Medvedev
Apologies if this is already on here, but I have just watched one of the greatest sportsmen win his 21st grand slam, what a warrior best part of 5 and a half hours at full pelt against a man 10 years younger absolutely brilliant entertainment, full marks to Medvedev for playing his part not sure you should call him a loser/runner up after that game both were winners.
The one thing that immediately springs to mind is footballers moan about playing 2 or 3 times a week yet these guys play every other day or so for God knows how long then produce a final of that length and quality, I take my hat off to them.

Re: Nadal v Medvedev
One of the all time classic finals, and what a comeback from Nadal, but Medvedev more than played his part in an epic.
Re: Nadal v Medvedev
I backed Nadal at 3/1 when he was well behind in the first set. Thanks Rafael, you are a true tennis warrior.

Re: Nadal v Medvedev
On a par with that Classic he had at Wimbledon way back.
And he's still doing it now.
Great athlete, great Champion.

Absolutely epic final. Both players were incredible but Nadal was superhuman.

Re: Nadal v Medvedev
Absolutely incredible. Thought the writing was on the wall for Rafa when Medvedev broke him back for 5 - 5 in the fifth, but what a superb recovery to take the match. One of the greatest matches ever, and history made with a 21st Grand Slam.
