It's not often commented on - Stan may not be the fastest around the court, but his footwork to get into position is beautiful. Very light on his feet when doing that.
Nobody can play this game more gracefully than Stan the man. Not even Roger!!! Stans backhand is a specie and there is no better sight in tennis than watching Stanimal on song.
I just admire this guy stan so much he was a beast in his prime had the guts to defeat Djokovic in grand slam finals he is aesthetically pleasing to watch has one of the best backhand's in the game ❤️
....all of the above - and he had an all round all court game ; he has won at the highest levels on every surface !!! All the current back court one demenional thrashers & their coaches wud do much better (RE) modeling their games to match Stans !!!
Medvedev is not 6'6. Believe me, I seen him play live multiple times and he is just a slight bit above 6'3. I don't know why but ATP has this weird obsession with inflating players' height. Shwartsman is not 170cm either, the dude is barely, and I mean barely, touching 160cm.
Stan would need AT LEAST 12 more slam titles to be in the running but he doesn't have that kind of time left NOR will the NextGen let him. I like Stan too but I think he'll just settle for Hall of Famer.
Too right - he has a classical beauty in his strokes - but both sides have ruthless easy power also - some of the best groundies and all round game in the business
what an incredible match. Love Stan 😍 when Fed hits a few backhands in a row you know he is going to make an error soon but Stan is so so solid. Wow Happy that he won majors in an era of the big three.
A lot pros hit off the backfoot, jump into the shots, hit open stance etc. Stan hits text book ground strokes! He gets the racquet back early, does a unit turn, head down, and moves FORWARD into the shot. He's my favorite along with Tsitsipas.
Wawrinka in the 5th set was Non Stop full throttle. That combined with his fuller game especially net approach and execution. Wawrinka all day over Med.
stan hits so hard but it looks like he's barely even trying.....other people who hit that hard have super fast strokes but he seems to do it with minimal effort....
Something that never gets talked about is Stan's net game IMHO. It gets overlooked bc he's not a "volleyer" in the Federer-sense where he would actively try to rush to the net to end the point quick. But when he is there, he rarely messes up. I mean, you never really see Stan just straight up botched a volley.
Not only does Wawrinka have good volley skills, he has powerful groundstrokes with depth and angles that set up into them, as Federer in more instances approaches the net at some awkward times but makes it up with great feel and anticipation (sometimes). You could consider Wawrinka to be an effective volleyer in this game because he can finish the point at the net and knows when to execute it as well as how it fits into the whole scope of his game.
@1 % of % 1 jajajajaja. So you are a federer fan and dont interest in tenis if federer did not play. To say something like that on djokovic os comino firm a fan boy of another player
Epic match you can see the quality and level of both these major champions. Medevdev now won the 2021 Us open and Stan had already won 3 major opens. It's kind of unfortunate that the way the tennis draw work when you get 2 high quality players clash over 5 sets however good they are the winner often will risk defeat if they have any trouble recovering in time for the next round.
Love Stan . Like Dani. He is so painfully thin. Maybe why he moves well. Watching this. It reaffirms how much more beautiful the one handed backhand is compared to a 2 hander. No comparison. Medvedev is a great defender. Not a bomb thrower. He wins with a lot of defense . Stan more offensive , not as good on defense.
Vou falar na minha LÍngua. A Suíça sempre "Teve" ótimos tenistas Mark Rosset , Roger Federer e agora ESSE iconnne do Tennis Mundial. O que ESSE Wawrinca está jogando, é uma enormidade.

I think Thiem would have been his only major stumbling block. Obviously, beating Djokovic would never be an easy ask but Medvedev has handled him fairly comfortably on a couple of occasions.
Stan the man... beautiful play! Imagine more forehand power if he gets physically lean. Should be around to give Novak an opposition, when Andy Rafa and Roger Theim are injured.
Stan may look stocky but he's not fat. His stockiness is what gives him his power cuz he's got a lot of muscle. I feel like if he loses some pounds, he might be a bit faster, but he'll lose some power.
Si juega increible Stan por que se intimida por Roger.... es increíble que tenga un record tan perdedor con Roger, jugando tan bonito ese revés a una mano....
Poor Medvedev! I came to watch this match after Medvedev lost the 2022 Aussie Open final to Rafa Nadal in which the Australian crowd was so rude to Medvedev. This 2020 crowd was not exactly neutral either. I wonder what Danil Medvedev did to deserve this.
@@noahgibson482 I don't see any reason why federer can't win another Wimbledon. He almost won it last year, rchd aus open semis this year. I don't think u shud count him out
Fun fact: Wawrinka has beaten the top three, at least 3 times each! Federer leads though. Federer 23 -3 Nadal-17-3 Djoko 21-6 Djoko lost to Stan in the first time they met in 2006. And then from 2007 till 2013, Djoko beat Stan 14 straight times!! Brutal!!

all one hand backhanders need great footwork to set up their shots
honestly i dont think any pro player has bad footwork other than fabio
I couldn't agree more n his backhand , in my opinion, is as good n graceful as that of Federer.

Pure magic from stan the man .
Medvedev's movement skills are unbelievable at 6'6". He's like Gumby, he's so flexible and can dig anything out of the corners.
Similar with Zverev his height actually gives him opportunity to defend well, cos he is always stable to hit the next ball
I don't know how he's as quick as he is. His flexibility is crazy - arms and legs are like noodles.
Right, his court coverage is undeniably good
Medvedev is not 6'6. Believe me, I seen him play live multiple times and he is just a slight bit above 6'3. I don't know why but ATP has this weird obsession with inflating players' height. Shwartsman is not 170cm either, the dude is barely, and I mean barely, touching 160cm.

Stans backhand is incredible
Stan's volley and backhand are so damn perfect.. Waiting for his return

I wish I had known Stan earlier. He's now my favorite player followed by Federer of course :p
Only 3 men can stop Stan the Man at his best, and they must be at their best too!
When Stan starts cracking the backhand down the line with confidence...you are in trouble. This opens up so much for him....
Thank you Australian open.
They do this so well.
3:43- Stan's knee bending One handed backhand is a joy to watch...
what an incredible match. Love Stan 😍
when Fed hits a few backhands in a row you know he is going to make an error soon but Stan is so so solid. Wow
Happy that he won majors in an era of the big three.
He's a great champion!
What amazing rallies in this match. Stan forever the man
Medvedev's two handed bkhand is truly great looking. Crisp and full swing.
When Stan is hitting freely and confidently not even great defenders like djokovic or medvedev can withstand.
A lot pros hit off the backfoot, jump into the shots, hit open stance etc.
Stan hits text book ground strokes!
He gets the racquet back early, does a unit turn, head down, and moves FORWARD into the shot.
He's my favorite along with Tsitsipas.
Two of my favorite players!
Wawrinka in the 5th set was Non Stop full throttle. That combined with his fuller game especially net approach and execution. Wawrinka all day over Med.
Both Fed and Waw over Med. Precision, timing and execution are just the visible part of the way they play.
Great match- amazing gets & incredible shot making.

Interesting to see both of them at times stepping round their forehand to hit a backhand. Very few players would do that.

I feel like Stan consistently makes it pretty deep in slams

I second that - im Australian and was ashamed of my ignorant countrymen ; the way they treated Medvedev in 22 ao was bad
Just as with the US Open final, Medvedev wins this if he has a decent net/transition game. What are they teaching the post-Big-3 generations?
Very interesting observation. Djokovic, Federer both have a reliable net game. Among the younger generation, Thiem is most noticeable.
Just won us open final so jokes on you now lmao
@@scottysatpanalysis Against an ailing opponent. Then lost to Nadal in AO for the same reason. Why is he losing to guys in their mid-30s?
