After Medvedev lost the first set and went into the dressing room for a break, he must have gained strength from whatever. The rallies lasted longer and longer and cost Djokovic a lot of energy and he had to take a deep breath more often. But in the tiebreak, he managed to win the last three points in a row and thus also won set 2. I think that underlined his mental strength.
A bit disappointed it was a three set final match, frankly, I was expecting a 5 set thriller from such top players like Nole and Medvedev. After the match in the press conference, Nole said that the outcome was logical as he was underperforming two years ago when he lost to Medvedev. A bit disrespectful from a 24 time GS champion he starts to sound like Ostapenko ir something.
Yea it was a dissapointing final between the numbers 2 and 3 seeded players. I'll
bet the organisers were delighted before the match that such high ranked players
were contesting the final and that it had the promise of going over the three sets.
Djokovich is a good talker and maybe he didnt consider that statement about last
year maybe is was a swipe at Medvedev, maybe not.
Anyway he is still on top of his game and Medvedev has still a bit of development
to do to get up to his level, the only player who can really put it up to him consistently
is Alcaraz.
