2022 Australian Open Men’s Final: Rafael Nadal vs. Daniil Medvedev

[rafanoy1992]

What the hell was that, Medvedev?!

 

[Moxie]

If I can be in a players head (and I can't) I'd say that Nadal wants this AO for all of the missed opportunities more than the #21.

 

[don_fabio]

5/18 BP conversion for Daniil

 

[Moxie]

Is that his first ace?

 

[don_fabio]

Rafa not much better either, 5/15, but feels like Daniil is losing more crucial opportunities for the last set and half

 

[Moxie]

(oh, they said 2nd.)

 

[tented]

I would sacrifice my niece for Rafa to break and get the set now. (What? I'm not sacrificing myself.)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa I want another insurance break

 

[Moxie]

I'm telling your sibling you said that.

 

[Moxie]

That's a rip-your-heart-out winner.

 

[don_fabio]

Rafa is like a mold, you can't get rid of it, just comes back. Sorry for comparison guys, he is just very very resilient.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal break for the set and he will serve 1st in the 5th set…

 

[don_fabio]

10 point TB in 5th is the only way to end this match.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, Rafa, for all I've ever loved you, hold now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay Just Serve this set 4th set out with a love service game no?

 

[Moxie]

No, Don Fabio, I'm thinking early break in the 5th for Rafa, and run away with it, but that's just me.

 

[rafanoy1992]

10 point TB in 5th is the only way to end this match.

Hell NO!

 

[Moxie]

I didn't mean to get ahead that we're going 5.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am on board with Moxie and her thinking

 

[don_fabio]

That is certainly a possibility Moxie.
