What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Australian open Final the men's final the last match of the entire tournament And it's been a long two weeks. It's actually felt a lot longer because we've had You know we've had the drop of each whole situation. We've had the ATP cup start of the year We've pretty much been live every day since the start of the year I think maybe one day we didn't go live, but yeah, it's been It's been crazy and now it all ends with one match one final match And that's a very important match because we've got two things on the line tonight. It's either gonna be a 21st grand slam for one of the goats or a new world number one ranking for a new generation player So there's a lot on the line for both these guys History for both history for both So we'll see we'll see if Medvedev can stop the 21 grand slams with the second tournament in the row or If Rafa can keep No lays record. Who's no like going for who's drop of each going for I don't I got no idea. It's a lose-lose for him now if Rafa does win We have something special if he doesn't win We'll hold on until he wins the next one But something special if Rafa does win at the end of this at the end of this match, so I'm not gonna say anything else. That's all I'm saying Now I notice the reddit is popping off Jumping the reddit if you haven't already. There's a lot of memes will go through all of those at the end of the tournament At the end of the night. I should say Like a lot of memes you guys have been real like Let me just say the memes Has been one of my favorite segments of the show we've done we added this in You know, I mean look it's not new doing memes It's not new channels all around the Internet do memes, but no one does tennis memes on YouTube So that's what we do and that's what we've been doing and you guys have shown up very funny memes For the entire tournament. We've had a good laugh. That's for sure. So I That's gonna be a regular thing. We're gonna be doing memes throughout the whole year They can be tennis talk related. They could be just tennis in general Whatever, whatever Chuck them in the truck in there and we've got 260 people in there. So you guys are definitely showing up Hopefully you continue to produce hilarious memes now Before we get to the preview. Let's answer questions What is up I Know why you're wearing this shirt good guy. It's fine. It's finals day We wear the shirt on the finals day. Why do I look so pale? What do I look like I'm sick I feel great. I don't look like a ghost Finals we wear the final shirt on the finals day We'll wrap up a Wimbledon this year. Yes, unless he's injured, but yeah History is over why and I support that do you I yes, I Want history to be made, you know, I'm not I would I wouldn't mind if Medvedev wins but I Want the historic event to happen because I think I'm eventually Medvedev is gonna win in Australia and open I think eventually he's gonna be world number one But I want history to be made because it's not very often that somebody wins 21 slams. In fact on the men's side No one's done it. So that's something that and then Djokovic getting it I want him to get that too. So then we can see that again So I want history to be made Oops wrong one Is that better no? better I want history to mate. That's what I want. I want to see history tonight What's your prediction as a neutral fan? My prediction is Nadal in five Even if I didn't want history on the line. Even if I wasn't like going for history I Want I think that I was gonna win in five. I think Medvedev can do a good job But I think Rafa's just got too too much for him Rafa maintained himself 100% for for the French open.  All right, we'll keep it Med is making history too. Yeah, he is but what Medvedev is doing Becoming number one in the world getting a second slam a lot of people have done that 21 slams is like on the men's side. We've never had that We will have that one day. Maybe not today, but one day we will but I would like it to be today And then we can watch it again happen. Maybe when Djokovic comes back as a tennis fan History like that is is great. Medvedev is gonna be number one in the world eventually. I Have no doubt this year. I believe he's gonna be number one this year, but 21 slams this might be the Rafa's, you know, he might get a chance at the French again But this might be one of Rafa's only Chances to get to 21 and ahead of Djokovic because I think Djokovic comes back he will tear through the competition and And probably win more than 21. So that's why I want I just want to see 21 slams And I want to see Djokovic break that I think all of that history That's what I want. That's what I want to see Medvedev will get his but 20 this is a if you're a neutral fan. I mean history is big. That's why yesterday You know yesterday with Bartel was maybe not neutral But still Barty winning the winning that slam yesterday was it was a big deal for the tennis world or tennis landscape Will there be a giveaway? Maybe Maybe at the end of this match, maybe Nadal is the play the one player Medvedev really struggles against Not really a little bit. I mean head-to-head shows that Head-to-head shows that he's he's got Medvedev's number Even if it's close Well, who does Fedor and Djokovic want to win? Look, I don't think Fedor cares. I think Fedor Fedor I mean Fedor is probably going for Rafa. I don't think Fedor is really bothered by what happens I think Djokovic won't be bothered either, but Djokovic is I mean look The whole shit with Djokovic that happened before the tournament We think we all should we would have thought that this would have been the final Nadal would have been replaced by Djokovic I think most people would have said that if you're honest with yourself Djokovic plays probably beats Rafa in the semis and gets to the final and plays Medvedev in the final but Again, I don't think Djokovic is going to be going for anyone.  I don't think the goats are going for anybody. I think they're just gonna I don't even know if they'll watch it. You know, who knows the Djokovic the Djokovic care I think Djokovic is just ready to come back and win. Io just went live. Ah, you know, what's up? You know, what's up? Let's go to our preview first and then we'll get I'll send I'll send you all off To to raid their chat. Anyways, let's go to the preview So here is the semi-finals and quarterfinals from here on you can see there that Rafa couple of close matches, but also Medvedev couple close matches, but also the time on court is Half an hour extra for Medvedev, but that's that's nothing. That's not much 30 minutes extra. That's like a half a set That's nothing much So that it's almost identical and now at a time on court plus, you know The five setters in the last in the quarterfinals plus the four setter in the semis. They both had pretty I want to say pretty straightforward semi-finals. I know that the even though the city pass match was a little bit more intriguing in the third set there may be the Rafa match, but Medvedev didn't look like he was in trouble Even in the you know, maybe the first set if Steph had got that it would have been weird, but Medvedev didn't look stressed and neither did Rafa In their semi-finals. Let's talk about Daniel Medvedev He's number two in the world currently 25 years old from Russia six-foot-six right-handed three wins one loss on the season No titles this year yet 13 to his name including the US Open and his best wins are against Baratini and Auger Aliasim Rafa Nadal he's number six in the world He'd be number five by the end of the day and no matter what happens Whereas Medvedev's playing for that number one record of one ranking of course 35 years old from Spain six-foot-one left-handed three wins no losses on the year got a title of his name as well one of boomerang at the start of the year from winning in Melbourne and Of course 89 titles. He's actually Rafa this year could break a Vaan Lendl's record of 94 career titles So there's history on the line for Rafa this year and also no lay as well He's not far behind Rafa in the ranking in the title race Of course got 20 slams and his best wins are against Russa very and Kressie 31 in favour of Rafa and The last three times they've played have been on hardcourt and they've all been Epics in fact all four meetings they've had have been on hardcourts and Besides their first meeting everything's been close. Of course the US Open Rafa got to a two-set to love lead We watched that match. I think we've watched every time they've played actually I feel like we watched the match in sincey Right when they when Nadal's wiped him off the court Maybe I think we did and we also watched that definitely watched that US Open final remember that one And then the A2B finals we would have watched that so yeah We watched every time these guys have played with watch So we definitely know what is going to happen because we've seen it many times Of course who can forget that 2019 A2B finals where Mehvedev was up 5-1 in the final set Rafa came back to win and then Mehdi turned the tables on him in 2020 was down a set won the tiebreak flip the script So Mehvedev look Mehvedev 2019 US Open and Mehvedev 2022 Australian Open final completely different player way better this time around much much More advanced in the way he plays he knows how to he knows how to play these guys now Obviously as a Grand Slam as well. So he's one of the champions But yeah interesting to see how he plays against Rafa having not played him for a couple years But every time they play it's close It's close. So we're in for a treat no matter what happens. We are in for a treat a Lot of people are probably looking at the US Open last year and when Mehvedev beat Djokovic in that final Just destroyed him. I think a lot of people are looking at that and going well this guy Well, if you can do that to Djokovic, you can probably do that to Rafa Hardcourt's obviously it would be probably favoring Mehdi as well because Mehvedev's favorite surface is hardcourt whereas Rafa sometimes struggles in a hardcourt but I Don't know we haven't seen these guys play in a couple of years or over a year Last time they played it was an epic every time they play is an epic. I I don't know. Does it come down to? Going in the bedding Rafa is the underdog. Is that good? Maybe that's good for Rafa The crowd's gonna be on Rafa's side because I know first of all Rafa is popular in Australia, but also History being made. I think I'm gonna get a lot of people that are like, oh, I don't really care who wins It's like, but do you want to see this 21 grand slams? I think a lot of people in the crowd will want to see history So yeah, I think Rafa's gonna have the crowd but Mehvedev doesn't care about that at all so There's a lot of things where it's just like who knows there's no advantage Physically because both players have had the same amount of time on court They both have the same kind of road to the final five-setter four-setter and then got to the final Yeah, I I don't know I think the Mehvedev being the favorite is obvious because he's higher ranked in his the US Open champion and Rafa still kind of coming back from six months off But yeah, I don't know I Don't know it's it's we'll find out in the first set We'll find out in the first set What other tournaments we're gonna be covering? That's a great question. So Next week we are gonna be covering Maybe I haven't decided yet depends on how I I guess it depends how we how I feel isn't my next week if we're if We're feeling all right. We've got a tournament in Argentina where What's his name? Dominic teams playing so we might watch Dominic team one or two matches next week It's various playing next week as well in Montepaleo, which maybe we'll watch that as well But we're more likely to start fresh on the 7th of Feb because that's where we get That's where we've got you know Mehvedevs playing in Rotterdam and since he passed in those guys So we'll probably watch Rotterdam We're definitely definitely definitely watching Dubai and Acapulco in February, which is happening about the end of the month So we might have a week off next week But then come back strong for Rotterdam Ladies tennis as well. They've got Dubai Doha as well. So yeah, so we might we might have a week. We look it's been a big I Mean we might have a week Oh, I have a week off of like don't doing anything But we'll do something during the week, but maybe not doing streams next week just so I can recover from The month of January, which has been a crazy month So yeah, but yeah, we've got a plenty of we've got plenty of tournaments coming up in February So we'll be covering them non-stop now Let me have a look someone said the Australian opener.

So we might as well just go all out Now I think it's 80% Looks more Looks way more Maybe some people snuck in Second serve Rafa Rafa to get the first game on the board In this final as he serves down into the front of Medi and Medi hits a wide Rafa with a little fist bump And he gets the first game in this epic final and it was an epic game seven minutes to start us off One love Rafa.

Everybody's subscribed for the last couple of months last month, you know It's been it's been a very big response. So appreciate all that while we have a chance now Let's play the don't know that to share has let's play this Okay, Mehvedev serving now first game was a long game, but Rafa usually takes a long time anyway No break points in that first game against the Rafa serve a couple of errors though We're keeping an eye on that seems like maybe both guys are a little nervous. I Feel like the first set and this is weird to say I Feel like the first set Rafa has to win the first set if you lose the first set I feel like Mehvedev is gonna just like he did at the US Open gain in confidence. So this first set is crucial Maybe more so for Rafa, which is weird as that hits a slight my Rafa It's a slice down the line again to the backhand side Mehvedev of the forehand now into the back end of Rafa to the backhand of Mehvedev Rafa on the stretch gets with the forehand Mehvedev down the line Rafa with a backhand slice into the backhand of Mehvedev back enough from Rafa crosscourt is wide and Mehdi gets the first point 15 love 15 love and it is absolutely packed I'll tell you what if you got a ticket to this match and history is made with through Rafa It's one of those things you'll tell everyone You'd be like hey, I was there when he won 21 as that goes out good serve from Mehdi 30 love Just like those thousand people that were the French open with Rafa won that and that was the That was the biggest match on this channel's history to be honest The biggest thing we've ever done on this channel was that Rafa match as that goes long from Mehdi. It's 30 15 By the way, if Rafa does win today He will be number five in the world He loses He will also be number five. So no matter what happens. He's five Mehdi does have a world number one ranking on the cards if he can get this is Rafa hits a forehand wide and It's 40 15 So far it seems like both players are a little bit nervous Rafa's foot works a little bit off a lot of errors from Rafa's racket early as Mehdi serves an ace bang one one But does seem like Rafa's a little nervous you can see they're five unforeseen errors already and that's very un-Rafa like three from Mehdi dev so It's definitely a Nerves in the air Definitely nerves in the air one one Rafa serving now By the way, big shout to anyone who's donating Pranav will get to your donation at the next change events Anyone donates I will get to their donations. I will play their donations during the changeovers Here we go Rafa serving as he serves a fault second serve By the way, Djokovic fans in the chat. Who are you going for? That's what I want to know who the Djokovic fans going for Serve Rafa into the back end of Mehdi from Rafa goes into the forehand of Mehdi dev into the front of Rafa That goes to the back end of Mehdi who hits it down into the back end of Rafa again to the back end of Mehdi dev Back in our Rafa sliced goes into the forehand of Mehdi dev into the back end of Rafa and Rafa hits it too deep Love 15 Rafa's back ends a problem a few back-end errors so far It's definitely the problem side love 15 Full stadium Rod Lever. I think is giving the trophy out or is it Jim courier because it's like 30 years since he won Either or one of the maybe they're both given the trophy I guess if Rafa wins that maybe Rod Lever gives the trophy and if Mehdi dev wins Jim will get the trophy. I Don't know Second serve now Rafa into the four and a Mehdi dev four and a from Rafa Goes into the back end of Mehdi dev into the four and a Rafa again to the back end of Mehdi Who goes down the line to the slice of Rafa back end up from Mehdi dev cross court Rafa gets with the forehand now Backhand again Mehdi dev into the four and a Rafa who goes down the line Mehdi dev starting to run now as Rafa makes his move Backhand a backhand now as Mehdi dev runs for the slice back hand and hits it into the four and a Rafa back And ever Mehdi dev down the line Rafa in trouble hits a slice again Mehdi dev forehand Rafa the back end on the stretch gets it Mehdi dev with the back end into the four and a Rafa What a rally is we get a back end of four hand exchange Mehdi dev's back end goes down the line for a winner Mehdi dev Not afraid of the down the line back end 26 shots Love 30 damn He had enough of that rally, but you can tell the tactics early for Mehdi dev a go to the Rafa's back end He's keeping away from that forehand at all costs Not given Rafa a chance to hit those banana forehand winners that we're all used to seeing Mehdi dev with his spaghetti arms his noodle arms Love 30 serve now as a fault again Rafa in trouble Rafa in trouble definitely hasn't got things on his own on his terms yet second serve love 30 Serve now to the backhand of Mehdi dev Four and a from Rafa into the backhand of Mehdi dev into the font of Rafa Mehdi dev with the backhand now down the line again Rafa with a slice Mehdi dev in control as he hits a forehand open court Rafa gets it. Oh, no way Rafa gets it Unbelievable unbelievable Mehdi dev played that way too safe and Rafa with a flick the crowd Light up Man Mehdi dev went straight down the middle. That's not a bad idea But Rafa like a goalkeeper who just stayed in the one spot saved it and Mehdi dev was not ready for a volley he was not prepared Man Rafa, that's the best shot. He's hit all day the crowd love it the crowd love it 1530 but again Mehdi dev's down the line backhand is a weapon Serve out wide of the backhand of Mehdi dev four and a from Rafa down the line Mehdi dev on the stretch Rafa comes in with a volley Mehdi dev with a pass Rafa gets it Mehdi dev passes again Rafa gets it and puts it away and Rafa's fired up here We've got the Varmuos flying The crowd are on fire. It's 30 or Rafa's arrived Rafa's arrived The last two points that's got to give him a shot in the arm Not a vaccine adrenaline Mehdi dev's not playing a bad game, but he just keeps going to the wrong place He keeps going to the he keeps going to Rafa And that's the first time we've seen Rafa flex that bicep and scream Feel like the beast has been awoken 30 or big point here Rafa serves into the backhand of Mehdi dev sliced there from Rafa down the line Mehdi dev with the backhand again Goes into the front of Rafa this time finder from Mehdi dev into the slice of Rafa Again to the front of Mehdi dev goes back to the slice of Rafa Backhand from Mehdi again to the backhand of Rafa. They just keep hitting backhands these guys Who's gonna hit a fine first and Mehdi dev's playing it smart because Rafa's backhand goes long again 3040 Again Mehdi dev just keeps going to the Rafa backhand and it's working Until Rafa starts hitting backhand winners Mehdi dev's gonna keep doing that break point Mehdi dev Taking some deep breaths here.  No one else see that You know I served out of the form of Mehdi dev One of them Rafa open court Mehdi dev of the pass Rafa the volley is a drop volley and that is too good Unbelievable unbelievable maybe coming to the net. It's not a bad idea for Rafa. He can volley He can volley Anyone else notice that like one of Rafa's eyes under his eyes a little bit puffy like he's being like someone's like knocked him in the eye You know when you get when you know when you get punched in the head You know after all been there.  You know, you know what I'm saying Looks like that. We've all been there, right? I Don't know Anyways, there's a lady coming out of the court to do some clean up because Rafa sweat all over the court and this lady's Doing some doing some maintenance. So she gets I guess a pay pay rise for that Rafa sweating up a storm deuce Third game of the match and we've already seen some epics Rafa sweating bullets Second serve 17 minutes played for two and a bit games. Thanks everyone follow us over on twitch you guys are Blowing up over there serve down to the back end of Mehvedev flying from Rafa into the back end of Mehdi goes into the forehand of Rafa and Rafa dumps that in the net Mehvedev's got a second break point Rafa just I mean he fell off that shot That's his go-to Seven minutes this game a Couple of long service games for Rafa. I think that's where Mehvedev's got an advantage here is He's got the weapon, you know He's got the big serve that he can hit big first serves Mehvedev Rafa doesn't have a have a blistering serve Like Mehvedev does so it's going to be a lot longer We're gonna take Rafa a lot longer right to win games good serve Mehvedev Hits the return, but it's a Let And plus even if Rafa did have a big serve Mehvedev doesn't let players ace him very often I mean we saw Nick Kirios, right one of the biggest serves on tour could barely get it past Mehvedev in their match I think he only hit about nine aces or something So Rafa's gonna have a tough time. He's not gonna get too many free points as Mehvedev hits a return And as I say that Mehvedev shanks the ball off the return and hits it out Ha ha Back to do so good serve Rafa gets a free point Eight minute game First game went for about seven. So this is a long couple of service games for Rafa back at doos Served entity the back and a Mehvedev goes into the slice of Rafa down the line of the slice of Mehvedev and Mehvedev slices in the net and I think that's what Rafa is trying to do with that slice backhand He's trying to get Mehvedev to slice back because we know Mehvedev sliced backhands and Not the greatest shot. It's not his best shot. He'd rather be hitting two-handers So Mehvedev's trying to keep the ball low.  That's the banana forehand Rafa doing Rafa things unbelievable And he gets the game stays in front two one, but he is putting in a lot of effort to get these games You wonder if this is gonna worry Rafa down the track because he's putting in lots of work early on All right, let's answer questions first.  So He's a great returner and a great server, you know, it's it's he's a rare combo But I think that's going to become the norm, you know tall big hitting great returning But he just gets everything back, you know, he gets everything back and he makes you hit five six more shots And that's what the short players that's their advantage, you know Schwarzman Diminor Uh Gophane Nishikori, you know Layton Hewitt back in the day That was their game plan to get everything back until their opponent missed when a guy six foot six is doing that And then also serving like a six foot six guy That makes it very difficult to figure out how to beat him It's a tough.  It's it's tough He's like a six foot six jokovic at times And Mevedev's got good ground strokes, you know, he's got a good forehand good backhand even though his technique's a little bit weird It's effective, you know, he's super super flexible in the arms Med's an anomaly.   He's a bear. He's a unicorn. He's a tough one Good question though All right, Mevedev's serving down to the front of raffa back in there from Mevedev Into the front of raffa again to the back end of Mevedev four enough from raffa Again going to the back end of medi down the line to the back end of raffa good shot from raffa Mevedev gets it though with a forehand raffa the four and again mevedev just going side to side Like a windscreen wiper as mevedev runs again and hits it wide Raffa's starting to get on top of this rally now. Love 15 Now if you're just joining us raffa just had to save Two break points in the last game. He's played two service games with a lot Uh, for I think what 23 minutes played his first service games have gone for about probably about Maybe 18 of those minutes Maybe longer mevedev had a pretty quick game Whereas raffa's had to fight hard for his second serve now medi I'd love 15 raffa the back end shanks that to the moon 15 all And apparently according to the stats mevedev done a lot more running in the first part of this match, but Raffas had to work a lot harder on the serve. So I don't think either players really get an advantage fitness wise So about why did the back end slice of raffa goes out good serve from medi 30 15 Also, we're almost at a thousand likes Can we get to a thousand likes by the end of this Set that would be insane if we could do that Because we're going to serve from the medi in the net second serve Into the back end of raffa back in there from mevedev into the forehand of raffa to the back end of medi Back end slice now from raffa goes into the forehand of mevedev and mevedev hits it out The low ball from raffa the slice backhand keeping the ball low It's going to produce the areas from that that those shots from mevedev 30 all so that's the tactic Raffa's tactic slicing it keeping it low and that is a smart tactic Serve out wide great serve from mevedev raffa gets it back back and now raffa on the stretch Mevedev with the back end now down the line raffa the passing no it with a lob mevedev lets it bounce it goes out Great stuff from mevedev. That is that serve Is brutal serve out wide from mevedev. He gets such an angle because he's so tall He can just angle the ball off so much 40 30 by the way, i'm going to tell you guys An interesting stat or maybe a historical fact And what history mevedev's playing for tonight as he wins the game with an ace bang unbelievable too old Now correct me if i'm wrong in the chat But if mevedev wins tonight He becomes the only he becomes the tallest player to win multiple slams in the singles Is that correct? Because right now he's six foot six in his equal height with chilech and with del potro But they don't have two slams So if mevedev wins tonight, he becomes the tallest player to win multiple slams. Is that right? Is that the history? Right am i am i right or wrong? I think so. Yeah, I think so too Saffin was like six four. He wasn't as tall as meddy mevedev six six Saffin was saffin was six four Saffin was not six six he was tall in a generation of Six foot one players when the average was six one six four was tall That's what you know Anderson never won a slam so it can't be kevin anderson I said winning multiple slams He's the tallest player to win multiple slams if you win tonight As we had a backhand now from mevedev to the slice of raffa Two all here as we had a backhand a backhand rally mevedev with a forehand now raffa with another slice backhand drop shot Mevedev's gonna get it with the backhand down the line winner unbelievable and he's quick. We know that he's quick He is quick Rod labor watching hashtag legend Love to see it Do I do I mean multiple or consecutive both? I mean Even if he wins it like another slam in five years, he will still be the tallest player to win two slams Even if he wins it Like he doesn't even if he doesn't win tonight if he wins one more slam he'll be the only player He'll be the tallest player to win two slams Does that make sense? Is that is that true though? Like Correct me if i'm wrong Anyway, serve volley from raffa mevedev with a passing shot and that's gonna be in Oh man mevedev This is gonna be on tennis tv Raffa didn't shouldn't have let that drop he should have hit the volley Love 30 raffa in trouble again brutal from raffa How to assure it uh like five eleven six foot On a good day I don't have the data on that Well, yeah, we cannot you I mean just name names, right? Who do you think is a tall player that's got two slams? Someone's like saffin, but saffin six four So mevedev's taller than that um Roddick was like six one uh Yeah Del Potro got one slam chilis got one You know anderson got zero so he doesn't count As we had a four-hand a four-hand rally this one goes into the back end of raffa raffa needs this point Good forehand from mevedev raffa the slice down the line mevedev digs it out with the back end What a rally as we had a back end now from mevedev down the line to the back end of raffa And that goes out mevedev gets three more break points The angles of this match feel like a clay court match Does anyone else get that feel the angles are so sharp From both guys. It's brutal Sampras was like six one six two. I mean sampras was not six six There's no way sampras was six six murray. Yeah murray six three John isn't never won a slam even if even is if it's only one one How are you five eleven and six foot on a good day? I don't know I don't know depends who you ask love 40 Mevedev looking to get the break raffa serves a fault Second serve coming up raffa in trouble He's been in trouble A fair few times in this first part of the set mevedev looking to get that break Raffa serves to the back end of mevedev back end ever from raffa goes out Back end from raffa goes out. That is what I've been saying so much today already and mevedev gets the break And the serbian flags are flying. I think the serbian fans of russian today. They're russian Um Thank you michael for the donation appreciate that Thank you for the uh for the for the three.  So I mean I told my boss Which is me that I'm sleeping tomorrow So you can do the same vodka vodka vodka, okay Chillage maybe six six, but the thing is chillage only one one slam So that's what I'm saying is like if mevedev wins a slam tonight The second slam. He's the only guy his height with two slams. There's no one taller Not that that's like any Anything like, you know, it's not like 21 slams, but still it's like a milestone, right? It's it's a history. It's a history thing stands not six six Becca was like six three. I don't like six two You know Samper was not that tall Stan Smith was six four. Well, there you go. So that's pretty tall for back in the 70s But not it's not six six. How tall is del potro? del potro So As as far as I know from the what we've done this we've done. We've had this conversation before We had um del potro chillage and mevedev the three Tallest players to win a slam All at six six As we're serving out of the back end of raffa for never metty into the back end of raffa Again to the back end of metty raffa just got broken As he hits the back end down the line mevedev with the back end of his own for now raffa again to the back end Of mevedev into the slice of raffa back end now down the line again to the slice of raffa into the finder mevedev Who goes to the find of raffa raffa standing too far behind the baseline? He needs to be more aggressive and he does as raffa Gets the point love 15 mevedev hits it in the net. That was better Raffa's got to be aggressive. He has to be a more aggressive So yeah, I think I think yeah That is the history that mevedev is going for tallest player to win multiple slams Serve down to the back end of raffa Goes into the back end of mevedev for now raffa again to the back end of mevedev raffa starting to take over As he hits a four and down the line mevedev gets with the four on of his own back end our raffa is in the net again Oh man raffa's back end is a problem. It is a problem 12 unforced errors raffa tough start that back end. It's Been a problem Raffa hits himself in the head because he knows He knows And then mevedev serves an ace bang That is the difference Mevedev can hit aces out of nowhere and he's already hit a couple It's a weapon that mevedev that nadal does not have Already got three aces here meddy three 30 15 Looking to consolidate the break As he serves down to the back end of raffa raffa hits a wide 40 15 Nice serving here from meddy 40 15 This is only the first set everybody remember we could have five of these so uh, don't stress We could have five of these sets one set It doesn't mean a win, but it does mean a tough road back for raffa meddy does get it because We saw what happened at the u.s. Open As soon as mevedev mevedev got that first setting is jokovic. It was just like the dude just opened up 40 15 is we had a backhand now raffa from this Four-hand of mevedev four-hand from raffa goes into the backhand of mevedev into the four-hand of raffa Into the backhand now meddy four-hand from raffa in the open quarters a winner. That's better unbelievable as soon as he steps in and hits that forehand That's when it becomes raffa's match If he starts attacking that's what raffa needs to do if he goes defensive against against mevedev Mevedev's just gonna work him down or wear him down But if raffa steps inside the baseline and starts hitting winners, that's where it's at Mevedev good serve raffa gets it swinging volley from mevedev raffa's gonna get it put up the lob mevedev with a smash Let's it bounce Put it down raffa gets it with a forehand, but it goes out mevedev four two Four two mevedev The serving of mevedev is really good by the way.  Look at that 81% of first serves in and he's winning 80% of those The second serves a problem, but it's it's fine if you're not hitting too many It's all right if you're not hitting too many second serves I can't what does the temperature do they set in the stadium when they close the roof? I don't know Raymond, but it doesn't matter because the open the roof's open. It's like it's like mid-20s at the moment the weather The mid the mid-20s So it's not that it's like it's a nice night to play tennis No rain around the roof is open. So That's what's uh, that's what's up Four two Needs this game here referee can't afford to go down a second break. It's only one breaker serve As raffa double faults His serving needs improvement His serve definitely needs improvement 36 minutes into this one And how we feel in the chat What I want you to tell me I want you to Give me your emotions in one Emoji How do you feel? How are you feeling in the chat with one emoji? It's one emoji It can be happy. It can be sad. It can be nervous. It can be I don't know what any other emotions. How are you feeling? With an emoji in the chat a lot of people nervous. Okay A lot of nervous emojis in the chat I was raffa double faults again Back to back double faults there from raffa. It's love 30 A lot of people crying a lot of people happy Some people nervous There we go. Look at the emoji money Someone must have bet on mevative People to chill some people to chill.  Some some people got beer Cheers The love 30 mevative down the line to the back end of raffa From mevative into the front end of raffa and that goes into the back in a meddie Raffa with a fine again to the back end of mevative into the front end of raffa That's a better shot mevative gets it back in our raffa down the line Mevative gets that too raffa with a fine again down the line is in Mevative just gets that raffa with a slice drop shot mevative's gonna get it and put it away And it's love 40 mevative again with the break points Raffa is hitting the ball too short in the court that point Every single shot he hit was in like service line He is hitting the ball too short raffa and it's getting giving mevative all the time in the world He needs to hit the ball deeper Love 40 and he's playing real conservative raffa. He's not gone for the lines either.  Let's play him again play for the eight um You know what? I think mevative is going to surprise a few people come the clay court season The only the biggest problem with mevative on clay is his movement. He's got the shots He can hit the drop shots. He can hit the forehands. He can grind it out 2019 mevative on clay was actually pretty good if you go look at his records We actually watched watched him on the clay in 2019 actually pretty good But the thing is he needs To be able to figure out how to move on clay and slide. He just looks like he's he's like bambi on ice You know, he's just like He just can't stand still his feet are slipping and sliding all over the place Mevative might surprise if he can learn how to play on clay or learn how to move on clay I think mevative will surprise a few people. He made the quarterfinal as a rolling garrus last year So he's not totally useless on clay but still but still mevative Mevative could surprise some people he might not he has a lot of points that he can make up because he has no points on the clay so hey He's a good mover on hardcore, but on clay you've got to be is it and that's why Naomi Osaka struggles too It's a different type of movement on clay. You have to have it balanced You need to be balanced because you can't rely on the hardcore Sticking like your feet can't stick to the ground on clay. Yes feet are always moving and always slipping around It's a different, you know, it's completely different Balance you need to be able to have good balances. Rafa. It's a full-time winner unbelievable best shot Rafa's hit so far left 15 Finally starting to be aggressive But yeah, good question though very good question And Rafa just slapped that ball for a winner mevative serving with a set and then mevative serves an ace bang 15 all Mevative serves again Down the tee Rafa hits a wide 30 15 Very good serving here from mevative I mean, he look he can't serve any better 80% first serves in 80% points one I mean Rafa as much as Rafa's been, you know making making silly errors mevative serving has been Untouchable as Rafa hits a four and down the line to the four and a mevative at 30 15 Rafa with a slice Mevative with the backhand now into the forehand of Rafa into the point of mevative raffle the drop volley in the net And it's two set points for denil mevative To take the first set six two man I think Nadal's a little bit Lost at the moment he doesn't have a tactic As he serves out wide at the back end of Rafa and that's in the net mevative first set six three six three six three medi first set One down two to go All right, let's keep answering questions. We'll go through the stats first and then we'll answer some questions And we'll talk about how Rafa can come back in the second and I think A couple of things have to happen for Rafa to come back Let's go through the stats because they're very impressive Uh for mevative, especially on serve. So Rafa seven winners. No aces in that Uh, was it 14 unforced errors? I don't know why it says eight winners. He only hit seven Two double faults in those 16 unforced errors Mevative with the with the eight winners including four aces And five unforced errors the serving of mevative. That was the big difference Rafa was under pressure in pretty much every game he played on serve Those first two games that rafa won on serve. He was very very Like it's lucky to win those games because mevative just made some errors at the wrong time, but mevative serving was Brutal. I mean like as I said 82% winning 83% of those points It's untouchable if he keeps that up And that means rafa's gonna have to win his serve. His serve was not good But also rafa making a lot of backhand errors. So A couple of things have to change rafa has to get a lot better on his serve He has to get a lot better in the ground strokes be more aggressive But also rely on mevative dropping his level on serve a little bit too because mevative right now is serving ridiculous It's uh You're betting against rafa at your own risk because rafa doesn't Go away. That's the thing he might mevative winning the first set is very very good and he played a hell of a first set But rafa Will never go away I would be very shocked if rafa just disappeared Let's find out in the first couple of games He's got to turn things around rafa first by making first serves He's not going to win by hitting second serves He can't at the moment Kiros knows what's up second serve now rafa Goes into the backhand of mevative flying ever rafa into the forehand of mevative and mevative hits it long 15 love free point there for rafa haven't seen that Have not seen that so 15 love But yeah, like I said, I think that a couple of things have to change for rafa and one of them The hardest one is getting mevative to serve worse He can't really do anything about that. Just has to wait until mevative. Maybe Maybe drop serve but He does he needs more first serves rafa. He also needs to be a little bit more aggressive And you know the backhand needs to start working too because he said a lot of errors on that side Backhand now from mevative to the front of rafa Finder from mevative on the stretch rafa gets in the forehand side gets that one backhand mevative goes wide That was better from rafa use that forehand use that weapon that we love watching I want to have a look at what mevative did against jokovic in on the serving I want to see what that looked like Because if he served at this level against jokovic in that us open Then rafa is going to be in real deep shit I'm mevative actually didn't serve too bad too good in that final nine double faults in that final And he's still one in straight sets He only served at 58 percent So he's actually serving better in this match than he was in the us open final. That's concerning for rafa fans jokovic on the other hand He didn't serve great As we had a backhand now from Mevative into the forehand of rafa Into the backhand of medi For now from rafa again to the backhand of mevative into the forehand Of rafa mevative with the backhand of his own Into the backhand again of rafa for one to backhand now as rafa goes down the line Mevative gets it with another backhand Backhand from rafa goes into the forehand of mevative into the backhand of rafa Mevative on the stretch gets it backhand rafa crosscourt mevative on the stretch gets that one too rafa with a slice That goes wide And that's what mevative does. He just gets everything back. He's not doing anything too fancy in the rallies You know, he's hit some really good winners here and there but He's just serving very well and just being a backboard When he gets in a rally. I mean super simple from mevative. Nothing. He's not reinventing any wheels 30 15 He serves out wide a fault rafa His first serve is a big problem I think maybe he's trying a little bit too hard to hit aces rafa because mevative is so good on the return He's trying a little too hard as we had a backhand now from mevative into the forehand of rafa Foyner from mevative into the backhand of rafa going into the forehand of mevative Another backhand slice there from rafa goes into the backhand of mevative Another slice from rafa going into the forehand of mevative into the backhand of rafa who goes down the line That's a better shot mevative of the slice rafa forehand winner. That was better And he hit it much deeper in the court rafa Gotta hit it deeper in the court Keep mevative pushed back and keep him Moving 40 15. All right rafa serving again To get the lead in the first We'll get the first game in the second set second serve again from rafa 40 15 serve down is a double fold Oh man another free point 40 30 I'm just gonna have a look at the unforced error count for What jokovic did against medi last year Just kind of get a bit of a feel of how mevative is looking today compared to the us open because So far he's serving better than he was at the us open as rafa gets the first game Of the second with a good serve and guess what was the first serve that'll go a long way now Looking here. So mevative stats at the us open the key stats that are on this board, right? Let's compare 16 aces nine double folds so far no double folds four aces serving very well 58 percent of first serves in smashing that right now He's winning 81. He won 81 percent of first serve points He's basically on par with that Uh, and he won about 60 percent of second serve points in the us open final He's way below that but he's so high on this that he's barely getting any second serves anyway Unforced errors and winners 38 winners 31 unforced errors. So he's about 50 50 today as well Uh, jokovic on that day six aces three double folds He only served at 54 of first serves, but he was winning 80 of those points. So more than rafa Uh, also winning only 40 of second serve points about the same as what rafa's doing now Uh, jokovic hit 27 winners and 28 unforced errors. So more errors than winners, which is what rafa's doing So there's a little bit of comparison between how rafa's playing in this strength of a final so far And what jokovic did at the us open last year and the way mevvedev is playing He's playing serving better than the us open But he's playing about the same on the ground strokes, which is concerning if you're a rafa fan because Mevvedev demolished jokovic in straight sets that day He might do the same today if he continues this form as we had a back end now sliced there from rafa Unless rafa can completely change something up here mevvedev making rafa move and rafa hits it out And it's a little uh 15 love. So yeah, just a little bit of a comparison there to last year 15 love But the serving of mevvedev is the real difference right now As he gets the three points four now to the back end of rafa four now from mevvedev again to the back end slice Of rafa into the four on a medi slice there from rafa again to the forehand of mevvedev Going into the back end slice again of rafa four now mevvedev goes again to the back end of rafa now Mevvedev with the back end on the stretch four now rafa down the line mevvedev gets it rafa with a slice Again going into the four end of mevvedev another long rally here is mevvedev starts to make his move Rafa on the stretch hits it in the net backhand side 30 love And the rafa's looking a fraction slow if you're watching this Do you notice that rafa's kind of I don't know. He's not really anticipating the ball. He's kind of like Mevvedev hits the shot and then he moves We're used to seeing rafa kind of anticipate what's happening Which means he kind of like takes two steps before his opponent hits the ball But because mevvedev's so weird At the way he plays Rafa can't afford to kind of take two steps to one side because mevvedev's very quick at changing direction So you can notice that rafa's feet I kind of flat footed until mevvedev hits the shot Which is why he's getting to the ball late mevvedev comes to the net and hits a terrible forehand approach and that goes out 30 15 But just notice rafa as soon as mevvedev's about to hit the ball rafa just stands there Until the ball is hit Whereas most times rafa's already going to one side his anticipation thrown off because of mevvedev's awkward shots That's going to be a problem 30 15 And then mevvedev serves an ace and that is the x-factor the ace And the big serving a meddy 40 15. All right, five aces already as he serves again Out wide rafa gets it Mevvedev with a serve volley puts it away And it's one one in this second set but yeah, hopefully Hopefully you're seeing what's happening You can call them awkward, but the impeccable disguise. Yeah, look. I'm not when I call them awkward. I'm not saying that is a bad thing I think it's a good thing. It's awkward unorthodox But he also like it's kind of like Federer's serve, right? So the the thing about Federer's serve, which makes it so good. He's got great placement He can hit the ball hard too, but it's the disguise He hits a flat serve the same as a slice serve the same as a kick serve the ball tosses in the same spot every time So you never know what's going to come off the Federer racket off his serve Mevvedev's very similar on the ground strokes. He hits a forehand That could go down the line or cross court, but it's the exact same technique Which makes it very hard to predict Same with the backhand. So that's where uh, that's where raffa's getting caught flat-footed because he can't predict What mevvedev's gonna do And that's mevvedev strength something it probably it hasn't been really spoken about As mevvedev hits a backhand in the net raffa starts making his move 15 love, but I think that's something that That kind of goes unnoticed because most people aren't used to Looking for that, I guess people just kind of go. Oh, well most people watching are just going to be like Oh, he just gets the ball back every time but If you really watch raffa He is not moving until mevvedev hits the ball And that's because mevvedev's got such good disguise And he can't afford to be a little he can't afford to cheat By moving to one side or the other. That's the big thing is keeping on raffa's feet and it'll show you Anyways 15 30 let's 15 love. Sorry. Let's get back to it The second serve again raffa He serves now to the foreigner mevvedev foreigner from raffa into the backhand of mevvedev Goes into the foreigner raffa mevvedev with the backhand again into the foreigner raffa raffa starting to attack now Doesn't want to come to the net though mevvedev. Oh nearly hits a winner, but it just goes wide 30 love mevvedev nearly made raffa pay I think maybe mevvedev thought raffa came to the net And he just smacked the passing shot, but there was no one at the net and it went wide 55 minutes played 30 love two Sorry, uh, not two second set one all raffa Serving now as he serves down the tee to the backhand of mevvedev better serve from raffa Mevvedev's gonna get it back every time backhand slice there from raffa into the foreigner mevvedev again to the slice of raffa Backhand now from mevvedev into the foreigner raffa and raffa shanks it And it's 30 15 Also, thank you all the donations coming through we'll play the donations at the end of this game.

He's not trying to you know out hitting a doll He's playing so smart mevvedev He's not coming out here and trying to blast raffa off the court like most people Would do like chapeau for example who had success right? Big point here 30 all serve out wide to the foreigner mevvedev shanked and goes long and hey What happens when you get a first serve in you might get a free point unbelievable 40 30 Raffa getting the free point off the first serve no ace, but still he'll take it He'll take it four minute game again Almost one hour played by the way No lay thank you for the five. Thank you Elena for the eight. Thank you Mama do for the two and thank you to get for the two 35 appreciate the donations um Yeah, well no later, you know if mevvedev does win f a will be kicking himself, but I wouldn't expect f a to be in his position like it doesn't that's not how tennis works You know if you have match points against the champion It's not like if mevvedev had lost that match that f a would be winning this title I think f a would have lost the city pass And then since he passed in the dark would have been the final but again He would be probably kicking himself the rankings come out tomorrow and we'll be doing a ranking show for that so Make sure you keep up with that because we'll be doing the ranking show tomorrow For the new rankings and also for the race to Turin because and the race to shenjin Who are for the wta finals as well? So a lot of changes in the rankings on the on the women's side And a little bit of change in the men's side as well. All right raffa first point mevvedev hits it wide First point to raffa love 15. No break points against the mevvedev serve and you can see why because he's dominating on his serve Serving to the net from meddy Second serve his second serve is a problem and if raffa can make him pay Something might interesting might happen As he hits a fine now mevvedev into the back end of raffa Into the fauna meddy back in our raffa down the line to the back end of mevvedev into the slice of raffa Fauna from mevvedev again to the back end of nadal as mevvedev hits a back end of his own and that goes out love 30 love 30 First time today that mevvedev has been in real trouble on serve Now we've seen him over the time that he's been in love 30 situations. The big serve comes out the big ace He serves out wide raffa with the slice mevvedev with the back end cross court raffa's going to get it with the forehand But it goes in the net Good hitting there from mevvedev the first serve sets it up still in trouble though 15 30 Still in a little bit of trouble 15 30 mevvedev taking the sorry raffa taking his time here mevvedev's ready to serve Raffa's ready now mevvedev It's a fault uh-oh Big chance for raffa here big opportunity Second serve to the fauna raffa back in out from mevvedev down the line raffa with a slice goes into the forehand of mevvedev Fauna from raffa goes into the back end of mevvedev into the back end of raffa Fauna from mevvedev again goes into the back end slice of raffa into the back end of mevvedev Back end again from raffa going into the forehand of mevvedev into the back end of raffa Mevvedev with a fauna again going to the slice of raffa into the fauna meddy back into the back Back into forehand as we keep saying back end from raffa again sliced into the back end of meddy No four hands allowed from Rafa as we have another slice there from Nadal into the four and a medvedev Again slicing Rafa down the line to the backhand of medvedev now find from Rafa as medvedev hits a backhand into the four and a Rafa again Medvedev in trouble now as we had a backhand to find exchange another backhand from Rafa goes into the four and a medvedev And that's down the line to the four and a Rafa now backhand medvedev getting adjust backhand now into the open Corporate medvedevs there with a forehand Rafa in trouble now with a slice good angle. Oh Rafa too good Unbelievable unbelievable. What a rally And Rafa gets break points He just sliced that ball in half Rafa and it's Rafa doing Rafa things It's not the banana forehand. It's a slice backhand 40 shot rally Don't we love calling those? 40 shot that's gonna be the longest rally of the tournament That's gotta be the longest rally of the tournament and he finishes up with a sliced drop shot and Medvedev's I mean he couldn't get there He couldn't get there Break points Rafa seemingly out of nowhere a couple of miss first serves and Medvedev gets in trouble 1540 And he serves an ace down the tee. You knew it was coming to Medvedev special. He always goes to the ace When he's down 30 40 still break point though for Rafa And if many misses a first serve Something might happen.  Rafa ain't done yet. Don't count Rafa out 3-1 Nadal and That was by far the worst service game Medvedev's had all day You know and when I say worse, I mean he played all right, but he just missed a lot of first serves Losing first serves That's what happens. I mean look at his second set percentage. It's worse than Rafa's Alright everybody Game on It's just this match is just started This match is just started Here we go. Thank you, Astra. I appreciate the kind words 3-1 Rafa Serve out wide is a fault now this game is massive for Rafa Of course Medvedev will want to break straight back And Rafa, I mean he's given away a lot of free points tonight. So Medvedev won't be too nervous about this break as we're the backhand from Nadal going into the backhand of Medvedev Into the slice there of Rafa Medvedev with the backhand again into the backhand of Rafa And that goes into the front of Medvedev For now from Rafa goes down the line Medvedev with the backhand on the stretch good shot Rafa gets it though with a forehand backhand now from Medvedev again to the backhand of Rafa and that's gonna be good Medvedev just gets it. Oh, did Medvedev hit it in? No, he missed it.   I was whoo Rafa for 15 love Another first serve in the net First-serve percentage is absolutely shocking right now second serve Goes into the front of Medvedev and that goes in the net from Medvedev. Oh Second serve return halfway up the net Not a great shot from Medvedev and it's 30 love Rafa looking to get up 4-1 in this second set He just joining us Medvedev on the first set serving amazing and Rafa didn't come out very very good in that first set He was definitely playing playing poor But all credit to Mehdi he was playing great And just that one service game of Medvedev is we get an ace from Rafa first time today bang But then that one service game of Medvedev and it gave Rafa half a chance and he took it because that's what the champions do so I still think Medvedev is the guy who's The better of the two at the moment, but You know Rafa's taking his chances or took his chance now. He's trying to get a 4-1 He serves out wide Medvedev of the slice volley Rafa Medvedev can't get that one and Rafa gets the 4-1 in the second set Game on game on Let's answer questions. Yeah, and then Pranab saying What maybe playing more backhands to cross-court of the 4-1 and Medvedev but Medvedev's forehands dangerous. I think Rafa Needs to go keep going to the Medvedev backhand Maybe keep slicing it keep it low and then set up the forehand But again, I think it comes more down to the serving of Rafa if he serves well and Medvedev serve drops a little bit That's when this match could that's how this match has changed That's how this match has changed So the serving of Rafa's gotten a little better Medvedev service definitely dropped a little bit since the first set and the scores changed So the sir is not so much the ground strokes even though Rafa is making a lot of errors I think it's more the serving and that's changed the the look of this match in the second set But it's only one game that Medvedev played bad and that's all it's taken He could have played a bad game won that game and we wouldn't be we'd still be talking about how Medvedev is looking real good But just one game Rafa sense that Medvedev comes to the net Rafa the backhand Medvedev of the volley and that's too good Unbelievable nice little volley there from Medvedev 15 love But it is only one breaker serve as well one break of serve As well you guys have been super generous with the donations Let's get back to this match because Medvedev 30 love having a good service game here as he gets the 40 love with a Rafa forehand wide Very nice hitting him from Mehdi. This is the better game for him. Just keep the pressure on Rafa. Keep making Rafa hold And again as I said before right Medvedev played one bad game and that's what And he served two aces in that game bang bang unbelievable and it's for two But yeah Medvedev played one bad game and that's why Rafa's winning. So It's not It's all on Rafa's it's still pressure is on Rafa Big pressure on Rafa. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already history on the line tonight 21 slams Medvedev's got a little bit of history on his own becoming the Third Russian male to win two slams, right? I'm pretty sure staff in one two found a cough one two Also becoming the tallest player to win multiple slams and also the first player to win a Second slam straight after winning his first So he's no one's ever done that on the men's side No one's ever won one slam and then the next tournament won their second which is weird you would have thought that would have been a thing but Apparently that's that's a record to Fifty love 15 Rafa hits that one long. Of course Rafa's gone for 21 slams Also Medvedev's playing for a world ranking. So that's the thing to Number one ranking on the line He gets the win He's pretty much got it wrapped up. He just has to wait a couple of weeks before all the points readjust Love 15 Mehdi second serve Rafa into the foreigner Medvedev Goes to the back end of Rafa find out from Medvedev again to the back end of Rafa into the foreigner Medvedev back in a Rafa again go into the back end of Medvedev now Rafa the find on the stretch Medvedev hitting very deep in the court And I'll win it down the line from Mehdi And again, I'll say it you missed your first serve you go under pressure He's missed both these first serves Rafa and he's lost both the points Man Medvedev back end down the line is something the Baratini needs to learn He needs to learn that shot that's what he wasn't doing against Rafa Baratini Medvedev is One hour 15 minutes played love 30 Rafa needs the first serves and He hits it long again His first serve percentage is not gonna win him this grand slam Second serve is a good second serve Medvedev gets it though for now Rafa winner inside out That's a good shot for inside That's a very good forehand second serve curved at right angles that was ridiculous It just absolutely cut round somehow Medvedev got it. I mean that was Just such a cutting serve And just spun away and luckily Medvedev I mean Medvedev is a lot tall enough that he could reach it Still 15 30 though Medvedev a chance to break back First serving the net from Rafa He's missed all his serves in this game for first serves for faults Living off the second serve Rafa As he serves into the back end of Medvedev back enough from Rafa going into the forehand of Medvedev to the back End of Rafa that goes down the line Medvedev on the stretch gets it for now Rafa again to the back end of Mehdi Rafa with a point down the line Medvedev is gonna get with a point of his own for an effort Rafa again to the point of Medvedev Rafa goes to the point again of Medvedev as he had to find himself It's gonna get another finder for an exchange Rafa taking over as he hits a back end down the line Now Medvedev is back in the point Rafa in big trouble slice forehand goes out I don't know what Rafa is trying to do, but it's not working it's not working and Medvedev gets to break back points and look I'll say it again Medvedev is not doing anything Crazy here.  It's up. It's up. It's up It's out Medvedev breaks back Medvedev breaks back And that's what happens when you miss every single first serve except for one you get broken You can't be living off the second serve not against Medvedev and it's back on serve 4-3 Chat I'm gonna ask you a question.

It's very generous Let's get back to the match because Raffa is still in the lead, but it's on serve Mevvedev serving now as he serves out wide at the back end of Raffa for one ever mevvedev down to the forehand of Raffa Back in a Mehdi going to the backhand slice of Raffa into the four and a mevvedev For one ever Raffa again going to the backhand of mevvedev into the four and a Raffa and Raffa hits it in the net On the forehand side 15 love and Raffa's looking kind of tired Not gonna lie. He looks kind of tired serve now mevvedev Into the forehand is a fault mevvedev second serve is A bit of a problem If Raffa can make him pay as we had a backhand now from mevvedev going into the four and a Raffa Mevvedev with the backhand down the line again to the four and a Raffa into the back end of mevvedev Now a slice from Raffa goes in the net 30 love nice quick game here for Mehdi Right is joining us Mevvedev won the first set easily served very well Raffa didn't play his best Raffa's have 15 backhand errors That's the problem 31 unforced errors for the match including three double faults this second set though Raffa's had the better of it But just hasn't been able to capitalize as mevvedev hits that out 30-15 He was up for one With the break he then got broken back then got to five three with the break Had a set point in the last game couldn't convert But he's had he's definitely had his chances here as mevvedev hits another good first serve and it's 40-15 Mevvedev to level things up at five And I think at this point this second set is a must win set if Raffa is going to do anything in this match Mevvedev's too good with this lead As he served volleys now mevvedev because he's just playing fun. That's a great serve volley unbelievable mevvedev just playing tricks now five all And he converts or consolidates the break Levels things up five all Man mevvedev with a serve volley. I'll tell you what I've got to credit mevvedev's volleys today He's been serving pretty well and his volleys have been pretty good No terrible technique from mevvedev today. He's been pretty solid He's been pretty solid five five Can raffa Stay in front first serve needed And he gets it to the back end of mevvedev for an fm raffa into the back end of mevvedev for an fm raffa again To the back end of midi into the front of raffa He goes down the line to the front of mevvedev raffa hitting the ball too short in the court That's a good shot though. And that's a winner on the backhand from raffa We have not said that today A backhand winner from nidale 15 love finally Finally getting a nice deep shot Carlos moira. He's under pressure. He knows it. He knows this is a big game. He's He looks nervous And raffa serves a fault Second serve. This is the first time in this event by the way that raffa's lost the first set The first time for the year the raffa's lost the first set Thank you for following us over on twitch as we get a serve now to the back end of mevvedev for now Raffa goes into the front of medi raffa with a slice backhand He's in trouble now mevvedev with a forehand raffa retreats There's been a forehand a backhand rally raffa with another backhand of the forehand of mevvedev hits the tape goes in raffa with a backhand in the net Should have run around in a forehand. I don't know why raffa's trying to hit backhands. It's not working today 15 all 15 all And mevvedev getting a little lucky with that net cord but Again, he should have Man, it was a tough one. I mean, how could he have hit a forehand? I guess because the ball wasn't drifting to the back but Very unlucky 15 all As he serves a fault. I don't know if raffa wants to play a tiebreak here. I don't If he's serving like this, I don't think the tiebreak is going to be a good thing for raffa He needs this game and then maybe need to break mevvedev in the next game. Otherwise Things are going to get weird as we have backhand now from raffa going into the forehand of mevvedev Into the backhand slice of raffa for whenever medi again to the backhand of raffa into the backhand of mevvedev Raffa the forehand now open court but mevvedev's there with the forehand into the front of raffa Mevvedev with the forehand again going to the slice of raffa. That's a good drop shot mevvedev gets it raffa forehand winner That's how raffa plays unbelievable. That's why we come and watch raffa the those shots those shots He hasn't done that enough The forehand was a lot closer to the singles line Usually he's playing he's playing real safe today, but that was much more like raffa the aggression And the forehand finish 30 15. This is a huge game for raffa Huge game for raffa Serve down the tee to the forehand mevvedev who shanks it In to the backhand of raffa forehand from mevvedev again to the backhand of raffa and that goes in the net From raffa mevvedev again getting lucky Hitting the frame on the return, but he'll take it 30 all How you feeling in the chat raffa fans? He's living on the edge Mevvedev fans you got to be happy with this. He is playing So solid So solid Raffa needs a free point He needs a goat serve 30 all he serves out wide to the forehand of mevvedev forehand from raffa down the line to the backhand of mevvedev And that goes out from meddy Wow mevvedev with an error at 30 all we haven't seen that He hasn't given away too many freebies 40 30 Four minutes this game again Every game of raffa's beans. I don't think he's had a love of game. Has he 40 30 40 30 Serve out wide as a fault again from raffa Second serve Can mevvedev Make raffa work again Make push him again. He's done it a few times in this match made raffa play some real long games Second serve To the backhand of mevvedev forehand from raffa going into the forehand of meddy To the backhand now of raffa that goes again to the forehand of meddy Into the forehand of raffa who just hits it in the net. I mean that was not even close And we're back to deuce Just some weird shots from raffa Some real off Forehands and real off backhands that have just been halfway up the net And he's not happy He's not happy raffa The crowd are shocked and the crowd want raffa to win this set because like me We want a five setter And the only way we're going to get that is if raffa gets his set Because I don't think a two sets of lovely is going to help This match go to five second serve Mevvedev just wants to shut the door and get the hell out of here as quickly as possible second serve Into the backhand of mevvedev forehand from raffa Goes into the backhand of mevvedev into the forehand of raffa forehand from meddy again Into the forehand of raffa down the line. That's a good shot. Mevvedev with a lob smash Is good, but mevvedev gets it but puts it in the net raffa survives Who was holding their breath on that smash this guy Mevvedev got it back to he could have made a really good return there. Oh, he nearly did Mevvedev could have made raffa pay And it's advantage raffa to get back the lead Again big shout out to everybody who is uh subscribed appreciate it.

He needs to find down the line. That's out again from raffa Even if that went in Mevvedev was going to make it back to deuce raffa's dad in the stands looking a little bit nervous It's almost like raffa's not putting any weight into the shots His weight's going side to side and not forward So maybe that's why he's not getting much power on these shots because he's hitting them He's not moving into the ball. He's being really super defensive as he has to find now into the find of Mevvedev back in our raffa down the line.  That's how you hit a backhand You know how to do it. You've been here before And raffa's fired up here.

All right everybody you tell me in the chat Who's winning this tie break? We're halfway through it. Maybe three three Someone's winning it in four points time potentially who is getting the tie break? Halfway through it now.

Let's go through the stats 14 winners for raffa 20 unforced errors still a lot of errors from raffa 17 winners from meddie including five aces 13 unforced errors both playing the serving of both guys not very good Um in that set mevvedev hit more aces, which is good But overall compared to the first set not a great serving display, but man, oh man Daniel mevvedev takes the two set to love lead now Let's talk about two set to love lead because we know raffa can come back from this, but Can 35 year old raffa come back from this? That's the big question We know nadal can come back, but can the old man nadal do it? Can can 35 year old nadal do it? Holy cow. All right. Let me check When the last time raffa came back from two sets to love down to win a match. I can't remember He's done it But when When was it? All right, everybody. Let's uh, we'll answer questions as well. We'll go through the donations as well. I haven't forgotten those guys But man, oh man raffa That slipped through his fingers and mevvedev stole that set for sure for sure so mevvedev has only ever lost a match from two sets of love up once When he wins the first set he's won 41 matches Sorry, when mevvedev's been up two sets of love. He's won 41 matches and lost one Does anybody know what that one match was? It was a couple of years ago Did anyone name that one match? Can anybody name the one match? Does anyone know who knows who knows their tennis history? So surely someone knows the the match Surely someone knows the match When was the time the only time that mevvedev is lost from two sets of love up? Not against jockovitch not against vivrinca. Nope Someone's got it. It was at the french open in 2019 Uh pierre hugh hugh hugh guys her bear the doubles guy Came back from two sets of love down on the french at the french. That was the only time he's lost from two sets of love up, but Raffer's come back from two sets of love down three times in his entire career three times I'm not going to let you guess because i'm just going to i'll just give you the answers First time he did it was in madrid against vile lubechich Back in 2005 with bad knees Came back from two sets of love down won that title fun fact only title in his career. He's won on an indoor court When it was on a hard court back in the day, uh, he also did it against robby kendrick at wimbledon In 2006 he came back from two sets of love down to win that one And he did it back in 2007 against mcayle ushney Also at wimbledon two sets of love down came back to win. So raffer has not come back from two sets of love down In 20 what in 15 years in 15 years It's a long time It's a long long time last time that he came back from two sets of love down to force a fifth set He did that a couple of years ago against jules moeller at wimbledon two sets of love down He came back the fifth set. He lost that's the last time he came back to force a fifth set, but man He's up against it raffer He's playing a guy who's never lost the lead except for once and that was on a clay court in front of a french crowd Playing a frenchman and he hasn't done it for 15 years. It's a brutal task for raffer But goats do goat things goats do goat things We'll see what raffer can do But i at all signs point to meddy Question the question jerk all points to meddy what though ron i think uh here i love that the goat reaper I like that that's a good one goat reaper, but i do think that um I mean the clay courts are where the goats are probably going to get over mevadev Mevadev on the clay it's not going to work. I think the go if raffer doesn't produce some sort of a miracle now I think roland garros jokovish nadal Competing for that 21 titles mevadev's not win in the french this year.
