Geez, what a storming comeback that was in the second set

 

[morgieb]

I think that’s the sign that we might be seeing a true legend on our hands. Nuts comeback given the way the second set was going.

The Brisbane Heat's greatest contribution to the world

Decent Mens Doubles Final. Decent crowd too. Outside of Wimbledon the doubles finals usually have the proverbial two men and a dog.

Great third set for Nadal, but still a fair way to go to try to get back into the match.

 

[_Ed_]

Up a break in the fourth!

EDIT: Broken back, but then breaks again.

This is a crazy match.

If only the old 5th set rule still existed, this might've gone to 3am.

 

[_Ed_]

We're going to a fifth! This has been epic.

 

[Spikey]

This is too much

King Rafa!

 

[morgieb]

This is a crazy win. To think his career was nearly (apparently) done.

 

[Kirkut]

Wow what a game!! Just wow!

The mental strength...Pure amazing!!

well done nadal! 2nd player in the open era after djokovic to win all 4 slams at least twice!

What a boring chump Medvedev is. Blaming his unpopularity on everyone but himself. Now he says he's going to skip the French and Wimbledon if he can find a hard court tournament to play in Russia instead. I doubt that anyone would care or notice whether he plays or not.

He's probably just trolling.

His clay game is pretty poor, but surely he can figure it out on grass?

Well done Rafa still believe he is #3 in my rankings of the the 3 Goat's Djoko,Fed, Rafa in that order.
However I hate trolls who label him a clay court bully he's got 8 non clay slams now some of the greatest all timers ended up with total 7-8 slams and no one is questioning their greatness.

ngl guys i like medvedev and was rooting for him the entire tournament

growing up i used to be really anti-rafa given i was a fed fan however the way he conducted himself re the novak business really had him rise in rankings for me personally - nevertheless i was still backing my guy medvedev - but you can't take anything away from rafa that was stunning

He’s definitely right about the crowds tbh

What's wrong being low IQ? Intellectual snobbery can get ****ed, really
