Not a good start from Nadal, Medvedev dominating early on in the 1st set. He is really agressive on Nadal's serve, and is pushing Nadal far behind the baseline.
From what I've seen in the first few games, it might be a quick and dominant win. Then again, Nadal has turned things around a million times before.
I am for Rafa here, hope he finds a way.

He lost he first set already, 6-2, but had the lead in the second set 4-2 with him serving.
So hopefully he can get back in the second set and tie the game and at least force a 5th and decider set.
It's now a battle of momentum, Rafa has find his groove already and now dictating the tempo. So let's see here, again, I wanted a 5th game so that we will enjoy the match.
To be honest, Medvedev had some grounds for his discontent and the right to express all this. Another question is that the form chosen for this does not always meet the standards of politeness, however, Daniil apologized for this after the match. In my opinion, Medvedev has some advantage in the final match, although I would not venture to call him the undisputed favorite. Medvedev's side has a more familiar and favorite court surface and a younger age, as well as already accumulated skill. Nadal has more experience on his side, the ability to deploy forces and a great desire to get ahead in terms of the number of grand slam wins in the great three.
