Medvedev's got to decide whether he wants to be the pantomime villain or not. He can't go giving the crowd sarky gestures one minute then bitching to the umpire about them the next.

Tim "Nadal looking the fresher after the end of second set toilet break"

 

Yes, wonder why 🤔

 

Just wondering if Djoko forgot to pack his magic water bottle

 

Nadal is a beast for 35 years old with the injuries he has suffered throughout his career.

5-5 final set

 

What a time for Medvedev to break back

What a game. Was hoping Medvedev was going to do it to shut these aussie pricks up 😂

 

 

They've been ****ing awful 🤣

What is it with epic finals in this tournament. I was over there working (correct visa 😄)in 2012 and the final was almost 6 hours. Sat down in my hotel room to watch it and next thing I knew it was the middle of the night before the prize giving.

Got to hand it to these tennis players

 

Nearly 5 and half hours for the final itself

It’s hard going for footballers to play twice a week.

Laughable.

I'm actually done in just watching that! You couldn't script the entire story, a genuinely a titanic battle, I cannot believe Rafa has managed to win it, the guy is a true Champion in every sense of the word both on & off the court.

 

VAMOS RAFA!!

It is ridiculous when you think the ball is in play for an hour and they have a 15 minute break

Epic stuff. 
Hard lines to Medvedev I felt a bit for him. 
Rafa wins the French likely if he stays fit too. 
Gotta feel for old Novax Djocovid too….

Well done to the bloke from Kia keeping it short. After the 2012 final I watched the speech went on forever and the players could barely stand they were so exhausted.

Didn't thank or mention the crowd.

 

Jail him.

 

After 5 hours I'm sure he just wanted to be back at the hotel. Seemed gracious in defeat

It was just an observation. The standard player speech mentions the opponent, the team, the family and the fans. Some mention the officials and the sponsors. 

 

Medvedev has had a mini running battle with the aussie crowd so I was intrigued to see how he'd play it.

Nice speech from Medvedev. Seems a decent guy

Always amazes me when a losing finalist in any sport manages gracious interviews after events. I’m not sure I could manage it. In a similar vein remember when everyone hated the golfer David Duval and then he won the open and peoples opinions of him changed massively as he gave such a great acceptance speech. Sadly for him winning a major seemed to destroy his career.

I noticed that myself and I'm glad he never sucked up to them

OH well. Medvedev blew that really but fair play to Nadal to come back from 2 sets down. That's impressive.  

 

Loved Medvedev trolling the crowd.....  :)
