AO Mens Final: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal

[britbox]

Some of those Stan/Novak matches are up there with the best.

 

[tented]

An in-form Wawrinka is awesome. Hope he gets there again

 

[Federberg]

it's my favourite match up to watch

 

[tenisplayrla08]

And I think you're stupid if you think Novak can't get to tonight's level just because he's not playing Rafa.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, I'd like to see Stan back to winning ways again

 

[Federberg]

now now... don't get emotional tp8. It just makes you seem.... stupid

 

[Front242]

I think Khachanov could turn into a big time player in the next few years

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Not emotional. I don't actually think you're stupid. I think we're talking past each other. Which is weird because we're both Fed fans. But I think you've got rose colored glasses on and I don't trust Fed as much as I used to.

 

[Federberg]

yup. Khach has game. But he needs to control it a bit more

 

[Front242]

Expecting him and Medvedev to be tough outs in the future at the slams

 

[Front242]

Medvedev was by far Novak's toughest match as expected

 

[Federberg]

nope. I'm just respecting the psychology of match ups while you seem to be trying to apply the form one player has against another to how they would play against another. If tennis was that simple, we could just look at rankings and forget about anything else. Thankfully it's richer and more nuanced than that

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Yeah. Both just so much easy power. All these fantastic moving 6'5" 6'6" guys definitely seem like the future.

 

[Federberg]

Medvedev seems like a newer version of Cilic hopefully without the mental scar tissue

 

[Front242]

Yup. They both move way better than the other lanky fucks on tour.

 

[britbox]

I'm not so sold on Medvedev... I'm liking Zverev, Khach, Tsitsipas best out of the nextgen.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Tented.,Rafa’s game plan of standing so far back on hard courts is ancient vs Novak and Roger too..both players will continue to punish him..I think today it will finally sync in ..they got to abandon that approach

 

[Federberg]

it wouldn't surprise me if of the nextgen it's Tsitsipas, Medvedev before Zverev. Although I'm hoping Ivan helps him advance. He's in serious danger of getting passed

 

[tented]

Not sold on Medvedev either. My money is on Khachanov, de Minaur, and Tsitsipas

 

[Front242]

He was returning from Perth
