2019 Men's US Open Final: Rafael Nadal vs. Daniil Medvedev

[brokenshoelace]

This is one of the sets Nadal just wants to navigate through before making adjustments rather than make adjustments during

 

[tented]

Why would he do that?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Nerves

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The dropper off the service return is actually an useful strategy against Ralph

 

[brokenshoelace]

If he wins this set he’ll crush him the next two

 

[tented]

Rafa serving at 50%, yet winning 86% of the points

 

[atttomole]

I expect more aces from someone of his height.

 

[Moxie]

Doesn't bode well for Daniil in the long run.

 

[don_fabio]

Yeah if Med could only borrow Novak return

 

[Moxie]

If Novak were a lending library, then everyone would.

 

[Moxie]

Dumb shot there from Rafa.

 

[tented]

So, tiebreak or Rafa breaks?

 

[don_fabio]

tb

 

[brokenshoelace]

He breaks

 

[Moxie]

Nadal for the break.

 

[tented]

I’m going for break. This is where DM’s nerves will get the best of him.

 

[Moxie]

He's getting edgier as the set goes on. I'll be impressed if he holds here.

 

[tented]

0-30 .. here we go

 

[Moxie]

That worked.

 

[tented]

2 SPs!
