I think I cross posted with you, there's a very clear view of what he said on X.

Sorry, I did indeed not see your post - wow Meddy, that’s not ok. I like him and I think he’s been getting it together a bit more but chill my dude

 

[Renegadedancer]

Wow. What hole. It’s not ok, regardless.

Anyone else get a bit *eye roll* at ‘mini-break’? Getting one point ahead doesn’t warrant special terminology

[plus ‘mini break’ makes me think of spa weekend in Wellyn Garden City]

I generally like Medvedev, but that was disgraceful.

[and having watched it back, I actually don’t think that ball had double-bounced. It looked like he got his racquet under it before it touched the ground a second time, but it’s still no excuse]

Anyone know why Medvedev’s nationality isn’t on the scoreboard? Is it a follow-on from the ban on Russian players, to avoid publicly acknowledging Russia?

yes mini-break just makes me think about Bridget Jones...

I'm finding this match a bit dull

Not a patch on either game yesterday.

Oh my God what is this on BBC little rave track out of Djokovic's rant

I did make me chuckle
Can’t believe I won’t get to see it later as I’m at work. Might be able to cheekily put it on around 8:30pm so hoping it goes to 5 sets

Can you imagine the crowds reaction if they’d defaulted Medvedev and then it was time for Novaks match

Well we saw it happen to Rublev earlier this year. Disqualified due to something he said.

Tim Henmans pronunciation of Alcaraz is grating.
Medvedev lucky to get away with his outburst. Alcaraz for the win.

*whispers in corner* I find a lot of Alcarazs matches a bit boring, entertaining in finals but other than that most of the time I could take it or leave it, idk why

I’m glad it’s not just me that’s getting annoyed by his pronounciation

Think I've still got a hangover from the "big 3 (or 4)" era because I'm genuinely just not into it as much anymore

Tim Henman generally is grating.

Oh really - I missed that. Was it a big match?

I was watching this on the screen outside Kings Cross station and everyone laughed

Hhhhhmmmmm, so on that replay it appears that the ball DID indeed hit the ground a second time before Medvedev got to it.
