Medvedev is genuinely rattled here, I think.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Wow! Stan is da man

 

[Hawkas1988]

Stan is the man but he won't be able to keep this up. He will have a lull at some point. Hope he can though. Such a great player to watch when on song. Dat backhand is as good as it gets.

Not sure why so many are writing Kyrgios off, yes he's unlikely to win but people are speaking as if it would be the greatest upset ever. If his body is okay I think he's good for a set at least and beyond that if his serve is on he'll get Rafa to a tie-breaker or two and anything can happen there. He has beaten him before, and has a positive record against him on hard courts.

Again it's unlikely but I don't think it's beyond the realms we see an upset, or at the very least we go four sets.

In other news Medvedev completely flips the switch and cruises in the 2nd set to win 6-2. One set all now

Good response by Medvedev - never panicked.

That was a fine performance from Muguruza. One of the best players on tour when she is confident and playing well, even though it has been a while.

Great player to watch live. Was lucky enough to see him play in a 5 setter. Was one of the better matches I’ve seen live, since going to the tennis for so many years.

Stan's matches v Djokovic at the Oz Open have been some of the best matches I've ever watched. Shame it took him so many years to get to the level he has been the past 6 years. Just glad he won 3 slams. Great effort past the age of 28 or so when he won his first.

Muguruza is back to her best form for sure. Looks the favourite for mine.

I am surprised with school back that Barty is on during the day tomorrow. I thought they might do a men's and women's match in each session.

I don't expect Kyrgios to trouble Nadal after coming off a tough five-setter, but it could be entertaining.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Come on Stan!!!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Come on Medvedev

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

It's ridiculous how well Medvedev moves around the court for a 6'6 bloke.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Ben Rothenberg's just tweeted tomorrow's schedule.


Federer in the arvo.

Djokovic at night.
