Bleeding's a pretty major thing, safetywise. They have to stop play for it. And it's not like Raducanu skinned her knee on purpose. (Though that was an iconic moment, with the blood running down into her shoe. Will add to the myth-making, for sure.)
But any controversy over that kind of obscures what a hole Fernandez was in. She did have a breakpoint, but she was barely hanging on to the match at that point. Raducanu was just so fierce and precise. And fast! Both of them really cover ground. I was happy for Raducanu and sad for Fernandez, but also just enjoyed the match. Good tennis.

Hardly watching. Medvedev a break up, don't care
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 September 2021 20:46 (two years ago) link
Just jk he is serving fantastic but he will serve for the set next. And...you know the drill, five sets etc.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 September 2021 20:47 (two years ago) link
medvedev's serves are insanely good. djoko still hasn't been able to find a good pace. the commentators have said medvedev doesn't "expend energy" much, yet he looks tired to me. maybe it's just his lanky frame

Just teasing us with these unforced errors
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 September 2021 21:09 (two years ago) link
Getting through here.
Huge FH from Medvedev with a lot of fist pumps, real premature and a bit silly, bcz he didn't convert that break point.

1st BP novak

djoker cant win any easy points, cant win long rallies rn & can't really read meds serve
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 12 September 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link
medvedev's height and long arms gives him so much reach
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 12 September 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link
Good hold in the end for djoko

Too early however Med will also need to keep his game together as he gets closer.

― k3vin k., Sunday, 12 September 2021 22:06 (two years ago) link
I can’t find match stats anywhere but djokovic must be serving like 45% on first serves
― k3vin k., Sunday, 12 September 2021 22:07 (two years ago) link
Yeah it's something like that
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 September 2021 22:08 (two years ago) link
I would just like to interject that this match had been DELIGHTFUL and I hope it continues
― a gentle push against my Wonder Bread face (DJP), Sunday, 12 September 2021 22:10 (two years ago) link
How many more times are we gonna see Novak slouch around the court while the ball is still in play, thinking he’s got the point, and Medvedev returns it while Djokovic’s back is basically turned?
― "The Pus/Worm" by The Smiths (hardcore dilettante), Sunday, 12 September 2021 22:11 (two years ago) link
The stupid drop shot from Med finally doesn't work
