Australian Open 2022

The umpire is in no mood to let fans act up.

Dead right. These aussie fans have to be the worst. I have never heard an umpire threaten to have people removed from the crowd.

i don’t know how loud it sounded on TV but on the radio audio that ball clattering in the umpires chair was really loud.

This will be EPIC, if he can finish this off

Double fault Nadal.

Game Medvedev.

and that’s it nadal wins in five sets.

The debate is over lads. 35, coming back from a 6 month career threatening injury, his worst slam, against the inform player on the planet, 5 hour match.

This man is a machine, and an inspiration. GOAT.

Bad day for all the Federer blowhards on here

Indeed.

I wonder will Djokovic get jabbed now for France or is willing to wait it out and hope to get a few more slams when this all blows over.

Either way his own fault really but it definitely diluted the win for Nadal not having to beat the best.

Medvedev just isn’t a Nadal, Federer or Djokovic. He’s an amazing player of course but he’s not at their level. For Christ sake Nadal is about 102 years old and fucked with injuries and he still beat him.

The men’s division is in a shocking place when the big three at some point decide to retire. There’s just no outstanding quality there. A lot of good solid players but not at the level we’ve been blessed with in the past decade or so.

edit … I wonder what all the Nadal fans shouting GOAT will say when Djokovic inevitably does overtake him. Oh it’s ok Nadal has the “nicest” strokes. **** me, this sport.

Incredible, history

Order of GOATS - 1. Federer, 2 - Djokovic, 3 - Nadal, 4 - Man vs ManUre.

Would you get a grip. There’s championship football clubs that have beaten premiership teams on their day. Does that mean they’re great? No a once off is what it is when one team plays out of their skin and the other has a mare.

You can’t honestly be telling me Medvedev is as good as Djokovic?!

He is nowhere near the level of the top 3. Absolutely nowhere near them.

The only one to come next or near them in the past while is Murray who put his body on the line by training out of skin for years, finally beat them, get to number 1 and then his body to fall apart because he wasn’t as naturally talented and fucked himself up overtraining etc.. No way he could sustain being equal with them.
