Here's to a fun, hassle-free and completely uncontroversial tournament... 😬
Women's draw
Men's draw
That must have taken some mental strength from Nadal. Only just tuned in.
The umpire is in no mood to let fans act up.
Jaysis I'd love to know what Rafa's fitness regime is? Streets ahead of everyone
Nadal is going to make Medvedev earn this. Medvedev has to realise he's not playing the soft next gen guys who give up when the going gets tough, he's playing a true champion who'll fight til the end. Even if Rafa loses he'll have lost nothing in defeat. It would be very damaging to Medvedev if he loses this from 2 sets up against a 35 year old past his best.
Amazing anyone thinks Med has any chance .... this match was over when he lost the 0-40 3 break points at 2-1 in the 3rd.
The Australian open radio are comparing this final to Rocky IV which is a bit nuts.
Wow! If Nadal loses this after coming back from two sets down he'll be gutted. Momentum is indeed with him, but difficult to call.
Amazing if he pulls this off
still question marks about Medvedeev mentally
He's only got over the line once in a major - and that was with Novak having a breakdown on court
And he did win and it’s going to a fifth set.
Med only a few points away now, could end fast, Nadal needs to win his game cleanly and take the set
Was listening to BBC 5 commentary for a bit while I was out, staggering bias towards Nadal with the screeching excitement on every point he wins. Could try making a little less obvious.
Medvedev blowing his chances here like he blew the third set
Drop shots are very poor mostly and should be ... dropped
His backhand is the most effective shot - should be using that
Wasn't expecting a 5th set in this, then again should never write nadal off
Incredible from nadal
Medvedev just needs to refocus and he should win. His decision making has been really poor and he is playing a 35 year who cant get a first serve in.
Nadal is the only winner here...
winner of a 5 setter is never anyone who was 2-0 up.
Momentum always with the leveller.
Could be an epic here. Still fancy Medvedev. Pity Rafa threw that 2nd set away.
Federer racked up a lot of slams after Aggasi and Sampras retired, he had no competition for so many of his slams.
There is no way Nadal is the greatest. I put the order as Federer, Djokovic then Nadal in 3rd.
Becoming the greatest isn't suppose to be easy.
Medvedev mentally just crumbling here. He seems to care more about the crowd then the fact he is in a grand slam final.
If Nadal hadn't thrown away that second set, he'd be looking pretty good now.
Unlikely he can win now, but at least he's putting up a fight
Game Set Match Nadal.
All over, once he lost the 3 BP's at 0-40 it was over for Medvedev.
Well done Nadal, 21 Slam.
Sloppy stuff from Med on that gimme at the net in his game.
Between that and the break points he had should have finished it off in that set.
Some bad shot selection at times from him.
A thrashing was the French Open 2008 final. This isn't that.
Yay, a fourth set it is! Like even if Nadal gets bagelled here it's still preferable to straight sets, nobody wants that for a grand slam final.
Why are the vip’s always put at one of the ends of the court?? Imagine going to Croke Park and put up in the Hill 16, Davitt or even the other end. I’d hand back my prawn sandwich and go do a bit of shopping in Brown Thomas.
Could Nadal stop scratching his balls and picking his arse for just one point?
Delighted to see Nadal getting trashed.
