The Tennis Thread

Ah thanks for your concern. I take it you cleaned the shite from your knickers when Medvedev looked like he was going to win. Well done to Nadal he grinded out a win and yep he was booed by the crowd as pointed out by john mcenroe on commentary. But as usual you will bury you head up your hole and deny it.

Now an All Ireland final to look forward too on Saturday evening.

Cheer up Taz.

Get your ears checked there boy

I thought the crowd really got behind him at the big moments. They were living the absolute epic that was served up.

keep on believing that if it makes your live worthwhile.

So your only contribution on a 5 set all time classic was to let us know one player was briefly booed?

Not at all. I was watching what was a great match. That was it. You were the one that brought it up as usual. Take your head out of your arse.

Whats your contribution?

Your only real insight on here last night was that the crowd were booing Nadal. Strange that’s pretty much your contribution on a classic.

What a great game it was, the momentum changes, the heart and character shown by both players throughout. The evident tension with Nadal when it came to closing it out. It was terrific. Another all time classic game involving Nadal.

Well see this maybe a bit shocking to you but I was actually watching the game and not on here.

You were on here to tell us Nadal was being booed. I’m just pointing out that if someone has to offer up a limited contribution to such a wonderful game, it was an extremely perplexing contribution.

Do you care to clarify?

Nope

That sounded like nearly the mother and father of all bottle jobs. When I went to bed just after 11, Nadal was two sets up and a break up in the third and the Russian looked to have all but thrown in the towel.

Nearly being the key word there.

It sounded like he got a great second wind for a 33 year old in the fifth set as they moved past the four hour mark. Just reading back on the commentary here, Nadal sounded physically spent in the later stages of the third set and fourth set. Looking at the highlights of the 5th set there this morning, Medvedev some 10 years younger at 23 was absolutely wrecked and out on his feet for most of the 5th set and Nadal was flying.

You called it a bottle job yourself

He won.

So why did you call it a bottle job?

He couldn’t get a first serve in but the response to the double break point at the start of game 1 in the first set and the break point when serving for the match was heroic.

He’s the :goat:
