2022 Australian Open Men’s Final: Rafael Nadal vs. Daniil Medvedev

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bh errors I stopped counting from the 1st set

 

[rafanoy1992]

How many BH errors? Good grief.

Actually, I won’t use that stat as a barometer against Medvedev tonight. It’s the serve % is the key

 

[Moxie]

He has to win this for obvious reasons, but needs to deflate DM a bit.

 

[Moxie]

Find a bloody first serve.

 

[don_fabio]

They say Nadal is sweating like crazy. Is it more than usual?

 

[tented]

Even if he holds, I don't see him surviving a tiebreak. He'll need to break to win the set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa Find Your Serve Now

 

[Moxie]

Not more than usual, they say it's humid.

 

[Vince Evert]

yes he probably wishes the final was indoor as it's humid night.

 

[don_fabio]

thnx Mox

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Even if he holds, I don't see him surviving a tiebreak. He'll need to break to win the set.

Agree I dont want him in a t/.break....like he should have won the 2nd set by now

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal can’t find a serve during game point!

 

[Vince Evert]

great backhand hit hit. Nadal fires up.

 

[don_fabio]

Crowd is all behind Rafa.

 

[tented]

He held!

 

[Moxie]

That's all on Medvedev, that of the crowd. He's been a jerk lately.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa Held....Okay Break him for the 2nd set....

 

[Moxie]

Rafa's trying to find his best, and he really needs to, right now.

 

[don_fabio]

Well it was said if it comes to pressure that Nadal has chance there, so TB is pressure moment if it comes to that. He will have his chances IMO.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa will have to go to the bathroom after the 2nd set and change....he is dripping
