Had to get to the brink of elimination to realize the match began.

That Xanax the trainer slipped in his drink must be kicking in now.

cause low key, Nadal can gas out the longer you make a match. He use to fresh as a daisy when he got pushed to 5 sets but now if you get a match deep into the 4th set, he burns out

called it….it’s happening

Yeah, I don't see how he can beat Medvedev in a five setter. I think Stef would wear him out too unless he completely shyt the bed.

Take it to 5 sets Mateo...wear his legs out

He needs a break before Nadal gets to 5 games. If Nadal hits that number, I think he puts together the rest of his energy to get a break and end this in four.

 

[Regular_P]

fukkin' knew it.

Nadal emptied his tank for the break and Tini gagged.

 

[Regular_P]

Tini was TERRIFIED to go up the line in the final two games. Just completely abandoned that shot.

Is there a worse return game in the top 10 than Berrettini? Even top 20? Sinner? Maybe an Italian thing. Horrific stuff. Reached break point one time in 6 matches against Rafa. Pathetic. Insane how far you can get with a one dimensional servebot game + big forehand and good athleticism/size. Won't work on the top tiers when it matters though.

 

[Regular_P]

This is shaping up to be a good one.

 

[ciubaca]

This looks like a classic already

 

[Regular_P]

That's gotta hurt for Tsitsipas.

 

[Nero Christ]

That's gotta hurt for Tsitsipas.

yea dk if he can really play much better than that and Med stayed lockstep with him

 

[ciubaca]

I want rafa to win this ... but i dont see him beating either of them in the final...
The way these guys are serving.
Its scary.

 

[Liu Kang]

Tsitsi might not be a very bright individual but his game is beautiful to watch.

I really dont get Med's biomechanics but it works for him so
