One thing that amazes me about Medvedev is that while he can be a serious brat (I am being super nice here btw) he actually does not allow those negative "outbursts" to affect his play. In a way, he uses those outbursts to allow himself to become more aggressive from the baseline. It's like, "Yes, I am brat BUT I will show you guys that I am still a very good tennis player."

Maybe, but I'm still reserving judgement as to whether it serves him, or not.

For a player with one foot in retirement (tournament director - Madrid,) Lopez is showing a lot of fight and desire in what is I guess his swan song. Good for him.

Yeap! The reason I said about Medvedev above is that this is the type of a match if Medvedev loses his cool, he could have easily got beaten in 3 to 4 sets. But after his outbursts in the 1st set, he settled in and went to business mode.

If this was Kyrgios, yeah we know what would have happened...

Medvedev is over it now and he's just serving the bombs.
