At the start of that match I was lying down, midway through I was sitting in a chair and by the last set I was kneeling down!

Great to see that Rafa and I had the exactly the same thought at that point of the match

Jeepers, I went to bed at 3-3 in the fourth set thinking Medvedev had it in the bag. And by the stage I'd already seen such amazing tennis. Rafa had to play out of his skin just to win a single point and yet obviously he just kept doing that. Credit to both players for putting on a fine match and well done Nadal, first to 21 of the big three.

Fantastic match to trade and even better to watch. Really was like witnessing history.
I thought Rafa was finished after he couldn't serve out the second set, but even when he drew level at 2 sets each I thought Medvedev would get a second wind in the 5th and go on to win. He did get the second wind and his served improved for a few games but then it went away again.
Was great to be a Nadal fan and to be on the right side of one of these epics. He usually ends up on the wrong end of these matches especially at the Aussie Open.

I went to bed about the same time as Gazuty (not together, I hasten to add) so I missed the end of what was probably one of the greatest matches of all time. Especially, when Barty had come from 5 1 down to win the night before. Did anyone notice what was the total amount traded on thematch?
