Medvedev...
Kinda good though
Still an arsehole
I don't get this, or tennis followers in general. Does anyone know Medvedev or do they just not like a player who beats players they like, who they also don't know.
I wouldn't endear myself to a crowd that booed me either.

It was pretty shit, and unfortunately I think it worked too.

I'm rating him based on his tanty to the ump in the semi.
Entitled millennial who thinks telling louder makes your argument right. (Even if he may have had a point.)

Wasn't he proven to be correct? Haven't tennis umpires demonstrated an inability to do their job competently? I'd hardly pass judgement on a person for doing the same thing I would; be insistent that someone do the job they're there to do.

Damn - after the first set, I thought Medvedev would walk home.
After the second set, I thought Rafa had blown his chance.
Get up this morning and he's won 21 Grand Slams.
He's probably the guy I'd least like to compete against in sport. Appears to never know when he's beaten and fights to the last point.

Same.
Had written Rafa off after Set 2 and turned it off. Hopefully there will be replays so I can re-watch. They talk about the experience of so many Grand Slams getting him over the line and I guess that is true - the experience of being able to stay relaxed, play point by point and absorb the pressure in the big games. Same with Barty on Saturday- she was behind 5-1 and went on to win the set. Didn’t play that many exceptional winners ( the final point probably the most memorable) but she just absorbed the pressure and let her opponent implode
