He doesn't tend to go down against bad players... with the exception of 2020 (weird year all round) where he lost to Sandgren (AUS), Altmaier (FR) and Rublev (US).0 -
Barty through in straight sets, she's looked in top form.1
-
Collins beats Swiatek 6-4 6-1 to move into the final.0

Nadal making easy work of Berrettini so far. 6-3 4-00
-
6-3 6-2
Berrettini hasn’t even managed a break point yet, let alone an actual break of serve.0 -
Nadal wins in 4 sets and is one match away from breaking the all time grand slam record.0

The amount of money to be earned in tennis in prize money alone is baffling
Perennial under achiever Heather Watson who has won just over half her pro matches in 11 years on the tour has won over $4M in prize money

before appearance money, sponsorship, endorsements etc etc etc
on average that's making it to the 2nd round of tournaments (of all levels) only one in two0 - Sponsored links:

Nadal v Medvedev in the final.
Some funny accusations flying around re: Tsitsipas being coached from his box mid match. It’s not the first time either0 -
Shame as I really like Tsitsipas. Medvedev pissed his pants when Tsitsipas won a set, wasn’t nice to watch.Callumcafc said:Nadal v Medvedev in the final.

I doubt she's seen much change out of that prize money once you factor in the various costs of being on the tour/paying support staff/tax etc.Billy_Mix said:The amount of money to be earned in tennis in prize money alone is baffling

Incredible second set in the Women's final, Collins going 5-1 up and serving for the set, then Barty pulling back to level it up and win a tie break to win the title.
Have to wonder if nerves got to Collins, touch of the Novotnas.0 -
Medvedev breaks first in the opening set of the men’s final. He looks dominant so far.

Medvedev thrashing the sweating cheat. You love to see it0

First set to Medvedev 6-2. He is walking it atm.0

Nadal gets the first break of the second set. Crazy 40 shot rally in the middle of that game that Nadal won.0

Nadal takes the third set and it's game on0
-
Nadal breaks early in the 4th set0

Medvedev breaks straight back. 2-2 in the fourth.0

This is a great match. Desperately want Rafa to make it 21 but Medvedev is playing some great tennis.1

Nadal wins an incredible set after 64 minutes. 2-2 now.2

Doesn’t seem much to me when you consider she has often been ranked in the top 50 in the world. In the world of football I would say there are very few, if any, players who have played in the second level of UK football during this period who have earned less. Plenty would have earned that in a year! And none of those players would ever have ranked in the world top 1000.Billy_Mix said:The amount of money to be earned in tennis in prize money alone is baffling

The fitness levels here are ridiculous, match time now over 5 hours and they're still sprinting and chasing down drop shots.
Nadal 5-3 up in the final set.1 -
Unbelievable, Nadal serving for his 21st grand slam and Medvedev breaks back. 5-5 now.1
