11:34 starting from 40-0 to the end of the game, this might be the most brilliant sequence of points federer has ever played in his life. amazing, cleanly struck balls on both wings in order to set up approaches to the net, and then amazingly talented volleys to finish. Zverev actually hit amazing passing shots from difficult positions and federer just turned each one into a winner. That final half volley was particularly insane.

@@matijacvitkovic3735 He was losing to the 3 best players tennis has ever "seen" though. And those finals he lost only to Novak and Roger. Beat the only other player he faced and won 2 against Novak. Beat Roger and Delpo for Olympic Gold. In some other era, Murray would most likely have amassed more than 6 GS titles. I have to agree about his defensive/passive style though, especially from the forehand side. Works against all the others, not against the big-3. When he played aggressive against them, he won most of the times. Just couldn't do it consistently and always lacked a lil sth extra mentally.

The Rafa/Novak semifinal match at the 2009 Madrid Masters 1000 event was probably the greatest non major match of the decade. Rafa went on to lose the final to Fed mostly because he had nothing left in the tank. It was one of the two losses he has to Fed on clay.

Gonzalez won singles third place the same day in th 5th set 16-14 few hours later playing 5 sets in doubles finals. Cherry on top, Massu won singles gold medal next day in 5 sets.

[@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960]

The whole importance to Olympics now appears to be because players supposedly "want" to win it and not because of the difficulty levels of winning it. Personally, I think Olympics is somewhat like Davis Cup. Players like to win it for emotional/patriotic reasons and it is not the ultimate measure of your skill on a particular surface or format. What does Olympics bring purely by way of difficulty level or skill on a surface ? Nothing. Surface is not unique, nor is the format compared to the existing ATP/ITF tournaments held round the year. It's importance is mainly because of the 'artifical scarcity' created by holding the event once in 4 years. Each of the slams and the WTF have unique surfaces and the WTF has a unique format as well making it arguably more difficult to win than even a slam. (You can win a slam without having to go through a top 20 player, but not so with a WTF). If a great can't win a particular slam in his career, say FO, it is a hole in the resume because it means you are not good enough to win a best of 5 format on clay. What exactly does failure to win an Olympic singles gold show, if you have won slams and masters on the same surface , in the same format multiple times ? That you didn't peak/were not at your best that one time in 4 years when the tournament was held. Nothing more , nothing less. On the other hand, you get an opportunity to win a WTF every year. If an all time great with multiple slams blows so many chances year after year, it clearly means he is not good enough on that surface , especially against top 8 players.

That is a very simple technique dumbo go and hold a tennis racquet in your hand and try playing tennis then you will realise. And as far as unorthodox action is concerned medvedev looks weird because he is a pro with noob technique. His coach never bothered changing his swing because he must have been doing wonders with that technique. Alexander zverev's bent elbow forehand looks a lot worse. Even though Alex is a great player
