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

[Vince Evert]

Nadal that was a shocker forehand. What happened?

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal just can't win the point on the add court can he?

 

[Jelenafan]

I am dying.

 

[Vince Evert]

This one game has been progress for 12 minutes.

 

[Vince Evert]

There you go he's one a point on the add court... at last.

 

[Vince Evert]

Game to Rafa 4-2.

 

[Moxie]

*huge exhale*

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Praise the Lord........Rafa held....Exhale

 

[Vince Evert]

Todd Woodbridge has reminded us that Nadal in 2017 led Federer by 3-1 in the fifth set only to loose. He led Djokovic in the 2012 final by 4-2, only to loose. Let's hope history does not repeat.

 

[Moxie]

Vince, not to put too fine a point on it, but we Rafa fans are PAINFULLY aware of those stats.

 

[Vince Evert]

The final is 5 hr old now.

 

[Moxie]

At the very least, Rafa has put up a better fight than Novak going for #21, though even more was at stake, in fairness.

 

[Vince Evert]

Vince, not to put too fine a point on it, but we Rafa fans are PAINFULLY aware of those stats.

OK but will history repeat or will Nadal prevail? I say the latter.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa will prevail.

 

[Moxie]

Medvedev, good as he is, is not Novak or Roger.

 

[Moxie]

But Medvedev hasn't lost belief.

 

[Moxie]

One game. Please!

 

[Vince Evert]

He holds, 5-3 and the huge roar from the pro-Nadal crowd.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

For the love of tennis Rafa..........BREAK

 

[Vince Evert]

He made it! Great DTL forehand winner by the spaniard.
