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.

Jaysis I'd love to know what Rafa's fitness regime is? Streets ahead of everyone

The umpire is in no mood to let fans act up.

That must have taken some mental strength from Nadal. Only just tuned in.

Dead right. These aussie fans have to be the worst. I have never heard an umpire threaten to have people removed from the crowd.

Man Vs ManUre · 30-01-2022 02:21PM

Come on Medvedev. Ireland love Russia bff’s forever.

Itssoeasy · 30-01-2022 02:21PM

i don’t know how loud it sounded on TV but on the radio audio that ball clattering in the umpires chair was really loud.

BorneTobyWilde · 30-01-2022 02:27PM

Incredible, finally hits the front.

BQQ · 30-01-2022 02:27PM

This will be EPIC, if he can finish this off

BorneTobyWilde · 30-01-2022 02:45PM

Nadal saving his energy for his service game, hope it works out

Hego Damask · 30-01-2022 02:45PM

A sickening sickening sickening day for tennis

doxy79 · 30-01-2022 02:46PM

Nadal looks knackered. Hope he can fall over the line

30-01-2022 02:48PM

Medvedev is not able to channel ND that well after all - can't convert a BP to save his life

That gimme high bounce shot at the net that he casually blew in the third set that let to a break point for Nadal after blowing 3BP's himself in the previous game was the turning point

walshb · 30-01-2022 02:56PM

Nadal is a machine!

Itssoeasy · 30-01-2022 03:00PM

Double fault Nadal.

Itssoeasy · 30-01-2022 03:01PM

Medvedev not giving up just yet. 30-40.

Time violation for nadal.

Itssoeasy · 30-01-2022 03:02PM

Game Medvedev.

Augme · 30-01-2022 03:06PM

That drop shot from Medvedev at 30-15 was such an awful decision.

doxy79 · 30-01-2022 03:09PM

Geez... If he doesn't win it now he'll have thrown so many opportunities away

waynescales1 · 30-01-2022 03:12PM

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest of all time!

Itssoeasy · 30-01-2022 03:12PM

and that’s it nadal wins in five sets.

Augme · 30-01-2022 03:13PM

Medvedev sports psychologist will be a busy person for the next few months!

doxy79 · 30-01-2022 03:13PM

What a beast. No 22 in Roland Garros!

Mantis Toboggan · 30-01-2022 03:13PM

Phenomenal from Rafa

yerwanthere123 · 30-01-2022 03:13PM

WHAT A MATCH, what a result! The ultimate karma for Deportovic and his unhinged fans, delighted! 😍

redlad12 · 30-01-2022 03:13PM

The greatest of all time.

Huh??

Mantis Toboggan · 30-01-2022 03:16PM

The greatest ever whoever would have though it unreal.

Girly Gal · 30-01-2022 03:16PM

Well done Rafa on getting to 21. A total collapse from Medvedev, looks like he isn't the real deal after all, like all the next gen lads doesn't really have it when it's put up to him, I guess his "clutch" must has broken today 🤣.
