DrO Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) This is exactly what i was refering to when i mentioned menthal strenght..

DrO Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The only thing that holds Medvedev in the match is his serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrO Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Well,funny thing is that at the very end,Danil looked somehow recovered,and Nadal in trouble. But..that menthal side of game once again decided a winner. If they age would allowed them,the BIG3 would run the tennis forever..that's how they're superior to younger players.

four-leaf Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Rafa Nadal Greatest Of All Time, the G.O.A.T? Could he be the one? He is in no doubt a better sportsman than Novak Djokovic in my opinion. This will fire up the GOAT debate again.

four-leaf Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Nole may have some unique records but so does Björn Borg and Nadal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepie Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Dani's backers have gone a bit quiet:-) Easy bet to cover though as when he was 2-0 up Nadal was 10/1-25/1. Who would have thought he would reach 21 slams first though?! Torque 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought he would reach 21 slams first though?! I would have. Sooner or later he would win Aussie O again before it's to late. This slam is what he needed to be the fourth player in history to have won every slam twice in a career. Might have been his last chance this time and with Nole out he was set for it. Kind of like when Federer came back again in 2017 and won his last slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I have never engaged in the discussion of who will win Down under 2022 but I am certainly not surprised that this is how it went. And Zverev still hasn't beaten a top 10 player in a slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be hoping for a Barty win though as that will net me double the return of a Collins win. I've now closed out my position on the Men's side with two final bets, where a Medvedev or Nadal win sees me in profit but a Tsitsipas or Berrettini win sees me taking a loss. 10pts Tsitsipas to win ATP Australian Open @ 6.49 Betfair Exchange 5pts Berrettini to win ATP Australian Open @ 9.82 Betfair Exchange Ended up being a profitable tournament for me. From a financial perspective I'd have preferred Medvedev to beat Nadal, but from a tennis perspective it was great to see Nadal win so no complaints. Barty beat Collins as I hoped she would and match betting went well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We always like when Nadal wins a slam. For me it's because he makes history everytime he steps out on court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned previously, I hoped that all three of them would end their careers with the same number of Grand Slams, so that people would be forced to dig deeper when deciding who to declare the ‘greatest of all time.’ It certainly deserves a more thorough and nuanced debate than simply comparing number of Grand Slams won. But Nole and Rafa is way ahead of Roger though except matchwins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 12 hours ago, U.K. TennisGirl said: I don’t think it’s fair to come on and make those sort of claims after the event! I think most people in tennis thought that Nadal had reached the stage where the French Open was his only serious chance of adding to his Grand Slam haul. I don’t think many people thought another Australian Open was possible for him, particularly looking at how heavily he was defeated in his last final here, three years ago. If you genuinely thought that before the event, then fair play to you, but I don’t think that posting claims like that after the event is going to win you many brownie points. ‘I would have told you so, but I didn’t mention it’ has never been a popular or valid claim in any walk of life! I did not place any bets or post anything on who to win for a reason. Having my doubts about Meddy were my main reason and I really don't like to speculate on whatever outcome it might be. Rafa is in no way inferior to Meddy on hardcourt as evidenced yesterday. To be throwing my money on one or the other outcome or specifically on the world no.2 because some people says the big 3 are done and their era has come to an end and Medvedevs has begun is just speculative betting leading to my uncertainty. I rather avoid loss in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-leaf Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I am very careful with predicting mens Grand Slam winners as in this years AO because when something looks so sure to happen in sports it often isn't. The road were paved for Meddy but his ambition and selfbelief wasn't there. You don't win a mens Grand Slam in singles over 2 sets of tennis.

owenclass Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Medevedev thought he won the match being two sets up as he was younger and fitter than an old man like Nadal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
