What Medvedev is doing is beyond words.
He was...
a break up in the 1st set
5-2 up in the 2nd set
DOUBLE break up in the 3rd set
Score?
6-7, 6-7, 5-5 down to Struff.

Novak Djokovic after tying Roger Federer for most match wins at Wimbledon, 105:
“I propose a match up for me and Roger for 106. Whoever wins gets it. Let’s just stop it here. Let’s call Roger to come!”
😭😭😭😭😭
Iva Jovic comes back from a break down in the decider to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 and reach the last 16 at #Wimbledon for the first time!
Massive win on grass for her.

Naomi Osaka after beating Kasatkina to reach 1st Wimbledon R16
“It was your daughter’s birthday yesterday. I was wondering how you spent it?”
Naomi: “I don’t think I should be telling you this but she was kind of bad yesterday 😂. We tried to take her to the park but then she needed to go to time out, so we’re gonna try to take her to the park again today. It was an awesome birthday. She blew out her candles. She made a wish. I hope her wish is to behave better, but if not… today’s a new day for her” 😭😭😭😭
Osaka d. Daria Kasatkina 6-1 6-3
Another great performance from Naomi.
After 13 years on tour, she’s finally into the Round of 16 of Wimbledon for the first time.
Just last month, she also reached the Round of 16 at Roland Garros for the first time.
Her improvement on clay & grass this year alone has been incredible to witness.
What a moment.
🇯🇵❤️

Roman Safiullin broke down in tears after beating João Fonseca at Wimbledon
“After U.S. Open I had to stop to treat my injury. That time was super tough. Even half a year ago I didn’t know if I’d be able to be back.” 🥹
*Roman starts to tear up & walks away from the mic. The crowd applauds him*
He says through tears:
“I didn’t know. I’m super happy to be back here.” 🥹
@Masonch31178202@Djoko_UTD Embarrassing ? They aren’t forced to do it, it’s a choice and certainly not a job to ‘earn money’ it’s an experience, a privilege and they know the deal before hand.
