The man literally beat Novak in straight sets in a final 4 months ago and now he's a pretender?

The thing about tennis is, every great player has their fair share of stomach punch losses. Roger's got em, Novak's got em, Serena's got em, and Rafa's got em.

Breh do you recall the draw from that slam? Check to see who Djokovic had to beat to get to the final in comparison. Yes he won a slam but it was a cup cake draw with no Nadal or Theim only Zverevs choking ass.

In this slam to clinch #1 and also his second slam he goes two sets up with Nadal playing terribly and this is how he goes out? Choke job on the biggest stage.

22 break points? 22 ? And he's next up? Nah. When do the big three lose a slam final going two sets up breh?

Medvedev:

"I really lost because of drop shots"

 

[MillionMills]

Wow. I turned it off when Med was up 2 sets. Thought he had it in the bag. Either way, congrats to Rafa. What a dramatic way to break the record

 

[THE MACHINE]

The GOAT, he just has competitive guts no other has had man.

I was just watching the replay, and I ruined the ending for myself

Wait I haven't paid attention to men's tennis for a few years is Rafa the Goat? He caught Federer and passed him

Hard courts were slowed down to cater to his style

And Fed had a longer reign of unquestioned dominance

Fed the undisputed GOAT

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Medvedev desperately needs to add more top spin to his shots specifically when going down the line. You're playing with fire going flat down the line unless you're making contact with the ball around your chest or higher
