Nitto ATP Finals, London

[Front242]

He got some height on that jumping backhand winner a few points ago.

great lob 6-3

Med takes the breaker 7-4. Heading to a decider

 

[Moxie]

My nerves.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Help me...............................Rafa and t/breaks of late.

 

[Front242]

That shank that went in was gas lol. Either way he won it without that point anyway. Hopefully set 3 will be high quality.

Help me...............................Rafa and t/breaks of late.

My leg starts shaking when I hear the umpire say “Six games all. Tiebreak.”

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I don't think I have seen Rafa playing this good in O2 before. However, if Med can control his head, he will win.

 

[kskate2]

early BP for Med

 

[kskate2]

1-1 on serve. I don't see how Nads will win this at his current level unless Med goes bipolar again.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Twice in a row Med netting the ball

Med UFE begins to mount

Med UFE begins to mount

I don't understand that. Obviously Nads is rattled after not serving it out. Lockdown making errors and go for the kill early in this set.

 

[Moxie]

That might have been going out, but great volley...then he duffed the next one. DOH!

Nadal doesn't get that rattled. But Medvedev is a rough customer.

Yeah that was bad luck as his volley was great. Second shot was a weird error.

He was rattled enough to go passive in that 2nd set.

 

[Moxie]

Shocking return.

 

[kskate2]

great BH return

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is the classic slicing you into lull and then hitting a winner. Simon does that often too.
