Grand Slam Day 15- Mens Final - Australian Open 2024

[Plugger35]

Great get from Medvedev on the drop shot, Sinner is making him work harder for his points though.

 

[Acinath]

STOP THE DROP SHOTS

Nothing wrong with the drop shot. FH wasn't great though

Drop shot was fine, stuffed the FH pass.

You are both right Medvedev was behind the baseline so the shot was there. Just hasn't worked all night

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Put the kettle on!!!

 

[largebus]

Got it.
Crucially he gets to serve first next set.

 

[Plugger35]

Sinner gets it back to 2-1, we have a match now.

 

[carlton_99]

Medvedev definitely looked like he had returned to Earth a bit that set and Sinner lifted his aggressiveness. Keep it up and we might have a 5 setter

 

[beez]

Cahill looking completely useless.

lol

* Plugs kettle in *

 

[Drummond]

Yeah Sinner takes this match. Get on him gamblers lol

 

[Xtreme]

Medvedev turned and asked the crowd

Craig Tiley randomly appeeared and said NOPE

so we're going to 4 sets!

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Sinner takes the 3rd

 

[RU_]

Med looks incredibly tired.

 

[carlton_99]

Ah yes the perfectly timed bathroom break...

 

[BobbyMorri]

It was a well played Drop Shot, but unsure how effective it is if Medvedev can still get it back.

Unless it tires him out.

Big Breath by Sinner there. He turned it around late in that 2nd set. Medvedev is not going to go away but...well...he must be tired

 

[Plugger35]

Med looks incredibly tired.

He just needs a few shots of vodka at the break and he will bounce back.

 

[Falconista]

Perfect example of why five-set tennis is best tennis.

 

[carlton_99]

Sinner getting some really easy holds will do him a world of good. Will only make Med feel more tired when his service games are coming around so quickly

 

[Plugger35]

Perfect example of why five-set tennis is best tennis.

Five set tennis is like a test match in cricket, three set tennis is more like a T20,

 

[BobbyMorri]

this could be a very quick 5-setter...

Wonder if there is going to be a tank if Sinner gets the early break here. Go for broke and see what happens

 

[Drummond]

Call me old fashioned but I hate the music between games like that. Tennis is an atmospheric sport, doesn’t need artificial stuff like that like say basketball thrives off.

 

[ep2018]

Damn Med looks gassed.

 

[Mr Meow]

Med's tiredness combined with Sinner finding his mojo - reckon this one goes the distance now.

 

[Drummond]

this could be a very quick 5-setter...

Wonder if there is going to be a tank if Sinner gets the early break here. Go for broke and see what happens

I agree. Tank it, and dial in for set 5. Assuming he’s broken here of course.

 

[Drummond]

Med finding something here!
