And Stan breaks back, for 5-5

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Broken...MD looks to be in real trouble physical wise,shame quite frankly

I’m wondering if Stan is going to have two retirements in a row. Hope not.

Me either,Stan is not playing that well.MD was 100% fit I think he would win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

9th DF for MD....this does not look good

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MD good play there,keeping the points short and not getting into long rallies

T/break has to win the 1st set

Medvedev’s dropshots woooo

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MD has soo much variety in his game

 

[AnonymousFan]

Another dropper, SP Medvedev!

 

[Federberg]

I'm liking Meds game the more I see it. All this talk of Zverev, this guy has the spunk to actually win slams in the future. But this set feels like match point. Credit to him he's got set point again. What a player

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Credit to MD won the 1st set 76(6) played intelligent tennis,despite his physical issues

 

[tented]

Stan must be furious. Coming back from 2-5, to get to 6-5 in the tiebreak, only to blow a set point.

 

[Federberg]

Well done Med. I'm so conflicted. Generally I support Stan any time he's on court apart from when he's playing the old man. I guess I still want him to win. It gives me good vibes remembering AO17..

Glad Daniil won the first. He’s the better player.
What could he do to this stanislas if he wasn’t tired?

impossible to say. He's the better player because of the way he's chosen to play given his impairment. Would he do the same if he was fit? Impossible to know...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If MD can win this match,he has 2 days off to get himself in a more physical state lol!

 

[tented]

Stan’s only hope now — since Stanimal is MIA — is to move Medvedev around as much as possible, and tire him out.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MD has to stop using the drop shots,Stan is reading them now with ease,

It looks like he could do much better. And he did better at the beginning of his winning streak.
