London Finals, 11/10/19
Daniil Medvedev: 'I will never go to restaurant with Tsitsipas. Never!' NOVEMBER 12, 2019 00:52 by LUIGI GATTO | VIEW 12142 Daniil Medvedev said he is not a friend of Stefanos Tsitsipas at all. Speaking to Sport24, the Russian said: "There are many good restaurants in London and I appreciate it. I also went with my wife and team, restaurants are really amazing. But with Tsitsipas we will never go to a restaurant. Never!" Medvedev also spoke about his parents not getting UK Visa to get to London: "It's a pity but what can we do. They say there is still time, maybe because they think I will reach the semifinals? It would have been easier if I had won today. Now I have to beat both Rafa and Zverev." Asked if Tsitsipas celebrated in a big way at the end of the match because he had lost the previous five meetings against him, Medvedev replied: "I guess so. But I do think the most important for him was to win his match, his first match just like me in London Finals. So I think he would celebrate this way against anybody no matter who he beat here, and, yeah, that's the answer." Meanwhile the former world No. 1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov said: "Medvedev is not the same player we saw six weeks ago! I hope confidence soon gets back otherwise it will be tough." Russia's tennis chief Shamil Tarpischev said: "Daniil did not feel the ball well in this match, and Tsitsipas played being confident. That's not a failure. Medvedev never played this tournament. But nothing is lost and Zverev can be beaten." Re: London Finals, 11/10/19So was murder in The Dark Ages... "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Thiem up a break in the deciding set vs Novak.... If Thiem wins, he is into the SF, and the winner of Novak vs Federer will join him. It looks as if the era of the big 3 may officially coming to an end at this event. I would not be surprised that only one of them qualifies for the semi as Nadal lost to Zverev in his first RR, and still has to face the tougher competition in his group (Tsitsipas and Medvedev) "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it"
Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Only in the best of 3 format.
Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Choke of the year....? Medvedev 5-1* up, having MP in the third... then losing 14 of the next 16 points and facing 3 BP for 5-5 "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: London Finals, 11/10/195-5 indeed... and the crowd is disgusting.... cheering missed first serves? Good that this event moves on from here next year. "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Nadal has nothing to do; just return the ball and wait for the inevitable Medvedev error. The guy cant get the ball over the net, or inside the lines. Every shot DTH seems to go out. His serve is gone too... "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Back fro mthe dead? 0-30 down; two pointd away from defeat, and then 4 winning serves. He was getting ready to serve, the crowd started to chant "let's go Nadal, lets go", but he simple served anyway (a winning one) and that seemed like a turning point in that game. TB-time... "Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" Re: London Finals, 11/10/19Nadal wins... unbelievable twist, but Medvedev totally trew that one away himself. To be honest, Daniil had a crap attitude after every error. Well, Tsitsipas will teach Nadal a lesson on friday.
