Medvedev takes the first 6-2 in just 42 minutes. I don't think Rafa's Majors record is too flash from a Set down but if he can turn it into a grind-fest, who knows.

Hard to see Rafa winning this one, much harder to bounce back after losing over 4kg a couple of days before when you’re an old man. Even harder when you’re up against a cosmonaut who never stops.

Get the fuck outta here with that weak as shit. Used to be a gentleman could select all options in a Dismal poll. Goddamn liberuls ruining my GAGR shitposting experience.

Also. Tennis. lol. Play a real sport you lazy posh lemons.

This is the very definition of a knock em down drag em out fight. Nadal is barely clinging on but he's the kind of bloke who never ever gives up. Medvedev the same. Some of the shots he's played have been outrageous.

Amazing end to the open. Twat Medvedev misses out in spite probably being the dominant player of the comp. Including Medvedev going public against Aussie fans re Kyrgios. Kyrgios now the darling of Aus tennis. Special Ks take the doubles final from a wildcard start. Barty comes good for the Aus open.

Oh and, teehee, Djokovic, hahahaha, no longer a tied GOAT. BWAhahahahaha!

I'm a very sporadic follower of tennis at best, but that was grouse.

I like Medvedev. Speaks uncomfortable truths and plays a great game. He finds some incredible angles on his shots. Was never going to have the crowd after the 'low IQ' comments but I think he would have been a deserving winner.

I went to bed at the end of the 2nd set. Amazed at Rafa's physicality. The guy must lose 4kg in sweat! Plus the accumulated aches and pains of knee-bashing on those sunny hard courts for all these years. A great victory, and as dru said, brings him level with old helmet head Novak, with the French Open to be played.

That was a final for the ages. Nadal blew my mind with his mental toughness. That will rank up there with his best ever victories.

Barty is not a #1 for the ages. Squat, boring and defensive she just floats it back down the middle for you to fuck up. Her main shot of choice is the sliced defensive backhand. Just wafts that shit down the middle agian and again. If you've got the balls to tonk for the corners she's got nothing. Serena in her pomp would molest her in broad daylight then leave her crying in a ditch on the outskirts of Wollongong as dusk fell.
Retired at 25. LOL, if I'm hubby fiance I'm fahhken spewing. "You're doing bloody what? Like fuck you are. Didnt marry you to have you loafing round home infringing all over my precious wanking space. Now get your pygmy arse and boring backhand slice back OUT there and back on the tour. I know you look 38-years old but newsflash mate, you're only 25. You've got another 10 years on the tour in there. TL/DR, my beers don't bloody pay for themselves you know".

Nah... Good on her.
She’s got $24m career winnings but how does that work though? 24 mill, do they tax about half? She wouldve chewed into that a bit jetting around to each tournament, hotels, paying her team. Plus splurging on a car or house or two, maybe the same for her close family, plus whatever else she might spend $$$ on. Plus shit is mental expensive in Straya. How much is left from 24 mill? I'd hazard a rando guess at 5 mill.

The endorsements might be where she made her proper ching ching
