Can Medvedev roll back time and beat Novak again here?

The ladies' final is a bit later today - Sabalenka v. Gauff. And then of course Djokovic v. Medvedev tomorrow... I'll actually get to see a couple of center court matches this whole tournament without having to pay extra because ESPN+ (which I already pay for) will stream them - yay!

Haven't watched women's tennis for some time until today. And, ugh, if this is the top of the crop these days... Sabalenka is a cool girl but her game is so unappealing, just going full on everything. I recognized her as a typical fearsome top 10ers, which was okay to make things interesting. But now she's number one.... Not too familiar with Gauff's game, first time I saw her live, and doesn't look too promising either for my taste

Both ladies are playing/swinging very hard... not sure the court can take the abuse!

So at this point I'm rooting for Gauff, just because Sabalenka is much too noisy.

Sabalenka beat herself. Now compare the match last night…light years away.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Thank you, Coco!

Is it because a Russian girl hasn't won this?

Is it because a Russian girl hasn't won this?

First of all, I am not a Russian, so let’s not do that. Second, Sabalenka is Belorussian, third, my comment was on the generally poor play. Sabalenka had twice as many unforced errors as winners. Fourth, the quality of wta matches is pretty pedestrian.

 

[iBanesto]

I reckon Nole prefers to play Medvedev in the final rather than Alcaraz.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice back and forth that was - did anyone time it?

 

[iBanesto]

36 shots.

 

[tobydawq]

So, if Medvedev would soon start playing as well as in the semifinal, that'd be great...

 

[Netserk]

Belorussian

Why so Russian?

 

[tobydawq]

Okay, it's definitely a nice match now.

 

[tobydawq]

Damn it. That was probably it.

Djoko was so much more relaxed than in the Wimbledon final

He said the second set was the most exhausting he's ever played, but he got a second wind during the third. Great match either way.

There was no way Nole should have won the 2nd set.

Amazing how he pulled that 2nd set win out, if Medvedev won it, the match could have been much different.

Medvedev had no self belief after losing that 2nd set as he was so deflated losing a set where he was the "better" player.

Sad end to a great career.
