So, I cannot watch the match and I do not know the details, but what is the scenario for Rafa getting into the semi finals? If he gets there, does he play Dominic or Roger? Grassyass

Good resilient and effort win from Nadal. Once again, he did not played that well but he competed the whole match and that's all I wanted from him.

As for Tsitsipas, I like his effort throughout the match even though he is already playing tomorrow. As for his tennis game, I have said this before: He has to improve his return of serve/return game. In almost three hours of play, he created 0 break points on Nadal's serve. In addition, he only won 25% of return points compared to Nadal winning 33% of return points. If he wants to be a great tennis champion in the future, he has to improve his return skills.

Medvedev has to win and I don't think it matters in 2 or 3. Then Rafa wins the group, which means he would play Roger, if I'm not wrong.

Whaaaaaaaaaat????

Like I said, I wanted Novak to beat Federer at this Wimbledon. That was mainly because I wanted Rafa to stay closer to the slam record but my point is sometimes I do root for Novak. You seem to always root against Nadal on each point.

He fists when he create his opponents to have a forced error not the other way around. When he completed his masterpiece comeback over Medvedev ,he was very classy didn't act overly exuberant but condoled Danill because he knew the young player was heartbroken.
My friend , to show some class after a win is not what I meant.

Yes except when both are still in tournament , because I want them to play against each other as often as possible.
Who would you root for when it doesn’t affect any record of Bull?

The only many you speak of are Nadal fans trying to justify him never winning it. For everyone else and the sane people, it's the biggest tournament of the year after the slams.
no just a exhibition like he said you know its a joke event then the player gets second chances after losing masters+ gold metals are way better even I heard even Djokovic fans say this most players are not at 100 percent this time year.

Here's hoping Medevev wins later as another win for Federer over Nadal would be looming large.

I guess the only thing left this season is to see who wins wtf exhibition event also davis cup sadly not many people will care about that, zverev should beat Medvedev he's got a good record against him.

Yeah, good luck with that. He's beaten him indoors only once in 2013 which was Roger's worst year on tour, having played most of the year with a bad back. Well, Mr. Genius, Thiem beat Djokovic also and Federer beat Djokovic who is way better than Nadal indoors so, again, good luck with your prediction.

good luck with your prediction as well but it might not happen with zverev having a great h2h against Medvedev also nadal should really just withdraw from semis if he gets there.

To think you consider him the GOAT and want him to withdraw from the semis lol. Why on earth would he do that? To protect his h2h against Federer? 'cos I can't think of any other reason as withdrawing makes zero sense when it gives you no chance of winning the title...
