Medvedev really letting him live here

Wow this is a long game.
Inevitable. Sinner's not good enough at the moment.
Why doesn't Medvedev play like this more...
Medvedev has these weird groundstrokes that shouldn't fit into the court but somehow do.
Sinner getting erased from existence.
This is a pasting.
That came out of nowhere.
Sinner getting a bit more competitive all of a sudden
You can see why it's now a game where you peak in your early 30's.... just having that mental experience gives a massive edge. Because I think Novak/Nadal end up taking that set from a clearly wobbling Danlil from where he was at 5-1 down.
Medvedev losing some of the insane control he had on the match for the first 2 sets. A long way for Sinner to go though
Could see med winning a tie break here and taking it in 3.
I could see anything at this point. Tight set, Sinner is closing the gap and Medvedev is the more likely to be affected by fatigue.
Game on.
Sinner gets the third!
The match has definitely changed since Medvedev was 5-1 up in the 2nd set. I was genuinely thinking that his performance was bordering on one of the best performances I've seen in a grand slam final.
His level dropped and Sinner has improved and right not it's anyone's game.

Great hold tbf, felt like Med was really slowing down there.
Medvedev seems to be struggling to generate pace since then. Most of his shots sitting up in the court now.
I'm actually hoping for a Medvedev win. I think he's a good character and after losing from two sets up vs Nadal a couple years ago, this would be a painful defeat to take again. Sinner will get his opportunities again too.
I want Sinner to win, but I've been impressed by Medvedev this tournament and have warmed to him a bit. Wouldn't be too disappointed if he gets the win
Med not coming in and slowing down in shots and movement, Sinner looking looser and ripping the FH now.
Give us the 5th!

Sinner drop shots have to be some of the worst I've seen.
Every one bounces at waist height

Let’s gooooo!
We’ll have a really great winner either way here.
Med up to his tricks, didn’t phase Sinner after the 3rd.

Even if he loses, it's been a great comeback from Sinner. He was in huge trouble and he's dug himself out of it really well
I'll never understand how Danlil won in straight sets against Novak... but thank god he did otherwise he'd facing 0-6 right down the barrel here, ouch.
I think Medvedev is playing a bit too passive now, he already looks exhausted and having these long rallies is surely only going to work in Sinner's favour
Yeah, Danlil's in major push mode now, which is a bit concerning.... hey but I'll never write anyone off.
Wonder how many, if any, have won their first slam from 2 sets down 
Bit crazy he's still in this, given his court time.
It's a bit of a repetitive pattern for him.
Not being able to clinically and easily see out matches in the early rounds has become a bit of a routine for Med.

Come on Sinner!

The GOAT Bjorn Borg.
Only player to lose 2 GS finals from 2 sets up would make for a very depressing record.
He ended up losing both but in both finals against Nadal, Medvedev broke Nadal when he first served for the title on both occasions.
Sinner come on please
Yeah, when you feel like congratulating him on a service hold you know it's not his day.
Kind of why I was leaning for him to win, especially after going two sets up. Such a tough couple of finals to take.
Danil looks so exhausted . His gass is out now.
Great ball to win on.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Great match. Sinner has officially arrived
