Medvedev winning another Masters title is just incredible  

[Майкл 542]

What a tramendous final  Medved - better luck next time, I hope you'll win next time, you really deserve it!

 

I knew he was going to do great things after seeing him play against Novak in DC two and a half years ago, but man, I never expected him to almost 'steal' victory from Nadal in a GS final. What a character he is + his game is really easy on the eye. I think I definitely have a new favorite player on the ATP side  

 

#19 for Nadal... Who could've guessed? He's a fucking legend.

I don't think so. This is not peak Nadal at all

 

He's in the best form out of all top players atm

[Майкл 542]

Matteo wasted 2 consecutive SPs in the first set TB

Great stuff from Daniil, hopefully he puts up a great fight against Rafa in the finals.

Not a single doubles speciallist here allthough Barty cut her teeth with Dellacqua before and Azarenka has won a mixed GS IIRC.

 

Well, all of them are good in both singles and doubles. It's been a while since we had top players playing doubles regularly  

[Майкл 542]

Of course DImitrov's game would fall apart in the very next match after an important win  

[Майкл 542]

Great finals line-up in women's doubles too

 

Azarenka/Barty vs. Sabalenka/Mertens

[Майкл 542]

I haven't seen Mertens playing in a while... These courts really suit her game and make it look more beautfiul than it usually is.

Let's hope Bianca finishes it in two sets  

 

She's struggling more than she should...

If this was WTA Berrettini would have somehow choked it away

 

He would've DF-ed on MP and lost final set TB 11-13

[Майкл 542]

What an amazing win Finally a younger player that's capable of winning important matches

[Майкл 542]

Just now, Wanderer said:

He has a good fighting spirit    

 

Remember what Rafa used to do to poor Dah-veed and Diego is nothing more than his carbon copy

IF, IF Schwartzman wins, this would be first slam after... Roland Garros 2004 where none of Federer/Djokovic/Nadal names won't be heard in the semifinals. The year I started high school and now I am starting my thirties  

 

Both of us know that Diego has nothing to hurt Nadal

[Майкл 542]

Matteo, end him!

[Майкл 542]

Disgraceful performance from Wang

I only hope she doesn't go Kanepi's route, she does look fragile. 

 

TBH, she isn't that fit either, there's a lot of room for improvement in that respect.

[Майкл 542]

Just now, Wanderer said:

Yes, almost three years already and she is now playing for her second GS SF ever   But I do agree, she somehow managed to have decent Slam results this year. I believe she can beat Konta as well (I think she is 4-0 or 5-0 against her) but that's the end. Serena is making another final. I wish Bianca or Osaka can be up to the task (again). 

 

I don't trust Bianca's body, unfortunately it can fall apart at any time

[Майкл 542]

Just now, Wanderer said:

Ah, Medvedev is creating even better one  

 

He's quite a character, isn't he?

On the other hand, Keys being unable to create a single break point... Svitolina isn't Karlovic.

 

In men's tennis, no other than big 3 is able to win a Slam, in women's tennis meanwhile, so-called "top-players" are unable to reach QF, let alone win a slam and back-up some recent results. 

I hope Andreescu stays healthy. That girl has big game!

 

Elina's top player too And she's had great results in Slams this year for a change. OTOH Keys will always be Keys, her game is naturally inconsistent, even though I hoped she'd go further this year

I thought French crowd is low-class, but they seem like a gentlemen compared to this. To boo defending champion and one of the best players in history is really classless. I thought they would be happy, Federer has clear path to the final now, and probably title.

 

Well, Novak has history with NYC crowd. No wonder sth like this happened.

Yeah she delivered some really good results recently,  she didn't surprise me with this gold,  off things would have been different if Ons was taking part 

 

Ons is too busy trying to reach 2nd week of a Slam haha, she shouldn't have problems qualifying through rankings

Quotas went for both Egyptians Mohamed Safwat and Mayar Sherif , 1st time in history Egypt will be represented in Olympic Tennis 

 

Just checked out Sherif's recent results and I'm more than surprised, she seems to be on the role, if she keeps this kind of form up she'll make it into the AO qualies  

 

Congrats, btw!

Some challengers have stronger field than PA Games
