    That's a shame.

      is it just me, or is anyone else as tired as Hell of Nadal's HS-girl gamesmanship? He makes Serena look like an Eagle Scout. She, at least, doesn't milk the clock when things aren't going her way, let along disappear for an 8-minute BR break.

      He's a great physical talent, but a perennial wuss.

          a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

            Thank you for offering your opinion. Makes me feel less alone on this one.

            I've played tennis for 30 years, and sometimes at a high-level.

            We all should hate the cowardice that Nadal shows when he behaves like a scorned little girl, and dictates the pace of the match as though that's his prerogative.

            He should have been docked at least 2 more points on Sunday for delays, but the umpire was very late in growing a set.

            Nadal is a great talent, but the tail was wagging the dog there. The deck was stacked against Medvedev from the get-go.

              If a Mookie is playing for a US Open, a Mookie must get his business done before the match, and therefore not (allegedly) drop a deuce when things are going South for him.

                My tennis coach told me Nadal's mechanics are so bad for his arm it's going to be unusable after he retires and he's going to live out his life in horrific pain.

                So there's that, anyway.

                  Medvedev got screwed on a missed call on set point in the second. Agreed that the umpire had a shocker.

                    Not tired. Not at all. Great player.

                      That’s a huge part of why I don’t like him. His style is ugly to me. I love the classical beauty of Fed. Fed has power and yet can volley and play a game other than baseline grunt smashes.
                      Also Helps that Fed isn’t a whiny little b and it’s gonna be gross if Rafa passes him

                        If what you are saying is true then Roger should have been the one winning all the French Opens right? It's not logical that a baseliner grunter would be the one winning on clay all the time.

                          no one seems to be able to beat Rafa on clay, come on. My point is those guys have different styles

                            Yes. I understand that. I would just think that if Rafa were just a baseline grunter like Sampras he would never be winning on Clay. Clay is the ultimate Tennis surface. It exposes every aspect of a players game.

                              Sampras was a baseline grunter?

                                Didn't grunt persay but he was a baseline player. Never went to the net. Won the most on grass where it's all about power.
