    Embarrassing.

    A woman born in the 00’s has won a Grand Slam before any man born in the 90’s.

    Mental.

    Rafa takes the first set having not played that well.

    Think Rafa will step it up a gear now.

    Medvedev has played an incredible amount of tennis this summer and can’t see him having the legs to cope.

    Nadal 2 sets up, he's closing in on number 19.

    Medvedev has put up a good fight but Nadal is a level above.

    Nadal will win RG for another good few years yet so it depends how long he can keep winning that concerning him vs Novak.

    Think Novak will end with the Slam record but could easily see Nadal dominating RG for another 4/5 years.

    Think Fed’s only hope is Wimbledon now.

    Nadal should have won more. Certainly the Australian one v Wawrinka playing through injury. I think he'll finish the best ever but Djokovic is the best level I've witnessed.

    I think Nadal is clearly the GOAT, he had to deal with Federer in his prime when he was just starting out and then he had to deal with Djokovic at his best and he's still won 19 slams.

    It's remarkable especially with all his injury problems.
