Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Match Day (closed)

[Mr Meow]

Tien has given Medvedev his own medicine this match by making long rallies and waiting for Med's errors at times. Very good defensive game.

 

[Plugger35]

Medvedev looks rattled but he often comes back after looking ratted.

Medvedev looks rattled but he often comes back after looking ratted.

Was one of Medvedev's most composed games of the match.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Medvedev looks rooted

 

[Plugger35]

It's back on serve, never write off Medvedev.

 

[Mr Meow]

Medvedev looks rooted

He looks like he's played 4+ hours of gruelling tennis.

 

[Plugger35]

Great winner from Medvedev, he is grunting like Sharapova though.

Tien looks a lot fresher, no grunting from him.

A lot of players don't grunt.

 

[Plugger35]

A lot of players don't grunt.

I don't mind grunters, it shows that they are giving their all, I've never heard Kyrgios grunt because he never gives his all.

He just makes excuses.

Pat Cash carried injuries his whole career but he just soldiered on and he still won Wimbledon in 1987, he didn't make excuses

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

What a match. Tien is a gladiator at 19yo.

 

[Mr Meow]

I don't mind grunters, it shows that they are giving their all, I've never heard Kyrgios grunt because he never gives his all.

Yeah I'm not disparaging them, there's just plenty who give it their all and are more quiet. It's an individual thing.

 

[Plugger35]

Great backhand volley from Medvedev, he is pulling out all stops.

 

[Plugger35]

What a backhand from Medvedev.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

One of the best matches I've seen

 

[Mr Meow]

Rain right at the end.

What drama.

But also very annoying.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

You're kidding me. Great tournament Craig Tiley you spanner

 

[Plugger35]

The rain falling, close the roof.

This break will help Medvedev.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Petsitting at my sister's and struggling to finfd enough alcohol to get me through. Hold the presses- I just found half a bottle of Stones.

 

[Mr Meow]

Medvedev came in clutch that game.

 

[Plugger35]

Break point for Med, he is bringing the heat.

Now he breaks serve.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Meddy is an animal

 

[Mr Meow]

Tien at the death has fallen into the trap of shots too cautious then too aggressive rather than enough in the sweet spot.

He nailed that one though.

 

[Mr Meow]

And another!

 

[Mr Meow]

Break points!

 

[Plugger35]

Tien fighting back with some winners.
