Australian Open - spoiler

[malaise]

My Rafa is in trouble, he should have won that 2nd set

[Celerity]

1. Medvedev would be only the fifth man in the Open Era to win the Australian Open after being match

point down. Fifteenth man in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam tourney from match point down.

[Celerity]

2. Nadal hasn't come back from two sets down in a Grand Slam since 2007?!

[malaise]

8. We'll see - spoiler

one down

[Celerity]

14. I am watching, so no spoil, lolol

[lisa58]

3. Watching

[malaise]

19. What a fabulous match

Go Rafa!

[lisa58]

21. I'm stunned....

It’s an amazing thing to watch🎾

[gademocrat7]

4. Thanks malaise

Just turned on the match.

[malaise]

26. Holy Shir

5-5

[LoisB]

5. Not a Rafa fan (Roger's my GOAT) but I would NEVER count Nadal out until the last ball is

struck. If it's not going to be Roger to break the 20-slam log jam, I would rather it be Rafa than Djoker.

[malaise]

6. and SPOILER

as you type he gets the break

[LoisB]

7. It would not surprise me if he pulls it out. He always seems to get stronger.

[malaise]

10. He is what we can call a committed competitor

It would be fabulous because it was also break the 20 tiw with Federer and DjoCovid

[LoisB]

11. He is absolutely that. Fabulous for Rafa fans, not so fabulous for Roger fans but I won't be mad

at him. Records are meant to be broken. I'm sure Roger will be happy for him.

[malaise]

13. Rafa plays tennis with the flair and fitness of a

Flamenco Dancer- win, lose or draw

[LoisB]

17. I predict Rafa 6-1 in the 5th.

[malaise]

18. Quite possible

[LoisB]

35. I was a wee bit off in the score.

[malaise]

36. What you got right was that he was going to win

#21

[LoisB]

43. Once Rafa won that 3rd set, I knew he would win. Congratulations to him.

[Celerity]

12. Rafa is in his head atm

[malaise]

15. Medvedev is also a whiner

And the crowd can get to him. Not sure he’s as fit as Rafa

[Celerity]

32. this brief back and forth we had here was the turning point in the match

[malaise]

33. Rafa has depth

and he never gives up - what a fabulous match - a fitting #21

[Celerity]

34. my mum is a tennis nutter, she has been whatsapping me like crazy, lol, she had a crush on

Yannick Noah when she was a schoolgirl in Bim

[malaise]

44. Didn't we all?

[USALiberal]

16. Nadal still grunting every swing?

[Celerity]

20. what a match!! (●'◡'●)

[malaise]

23. Fabulous

Go Rafa!

[Celerity]

22. if Rafa wins this 5th set, it will be the first time since 1965 a man has come back from 2 sets down

to win a final at the Aussie Open

[malaise]

25. And Spoiler

Rafa gets the break

[malaise]

27. Game, set, match

And #21😀😀😀😀😀😀
Rafa! Rafa! Rafa!

[Celerity]

28. insane comeback for the ages!

[lisa58]

37. Unbelievable!

I think this match was even better than the Federer v Nadal at Wimbledon when Nadal beat him.

Epic just got raised to Epic x 1000!

Vamos Rafa #21!!!



I got up at 3:15 AM to watch this match and was rewarded handsomely!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!

Can he do #22 in ‘22??? Stay tuned for HIS favorite surface at the French Open!!!!!!

[Karma13612]

45. Thanks for this link!!

Great article, and makes me appreciate him even more!!!

[Raftergirl]

38. This is what karma is Novaxx.

[malaise]

41. That is the best part of this

but don't forget that Medvedev beat Novaxxxxx at the US Open so that they all remained at 20 until this slam. And this is the one that DjoCovid has won the most. Maybe now he knows why vaccines matter.
