Hm. Muchova was down a set and a break at 1-2 in the 2nd, took a MTO, and now just sent this to a 3rd set at 6-3. Barty has fallen apart.
You absolutely nailed it leading into the tournament. The mental game just hasn’t been there at all today.
Unfortunately our local media gets sucked in by the fact she's had some good results over the past 2 years but they're either too parochial or don't know enough about tennis to drill a little deeper and see the whole story. She should have slaughtered someone like Muchova...
And bang... one match point is all it took. After having multiple break back chances in the last game.
Bills Mafia Lets GO Most thing Im mad about is I told myself pre tournament that I should make a bet on Brady to win it
Sure does. Come a long way from Tomic’s girlfriend saying the worst part of quarantine was not being able to wash her hair because she can’t do it herself lol
Rublev needs to start attacking Medvedev’s forehand. He’s not going to miss much from his backhand side.
Really glad Medvedev won quickly & comfortably - need him fit and healthy for the final. If he is, I think he'll beat the injury faker.
Meh, the men's side is so weak it's inevitable that you will end up facing the same 4-5 guys at the top. Provided he stays healthy there's no doubt he'll be in the top half more often than not.
Not sure if anyone was awake or if they heard the announcers but, Rafa had him absolutely dead to rights. Third set TB to finish him off and he kept his cool and never let down. His mentality was huge, fitting that he beat Rafa.
Yeah sure - I just meant that, in this kind of form, he would have posed a more difficult challenge to Djoke than anyone else has. And may even have beaten him yesterday too.
Even better than when he took out Fed in (I want to say) 2019? He looked pretty darn good in that match from memory.
Surprised by this but not massively - would have been a huge ask for Rafa to beat Tsits, Medvedev and Djoke in successive matches. I think at least a little bit of that loss tonight was subconsciously.
Yeah I mean Rafa was on level, had him wrapped up in a bow in about 90 minutes. Mentally to come back from that shows something to me.
