Medvedev was in position to at least force a tie-breaker in the opening set serving at 5-6, but was broken rather easily by Djoker and that essentially was the match. He just seemed incredibly rattled last night and was playing at a frenetic pace (like he had dinner reservations that couldn't be changed). He broke Novak to set start 2 and then was immediately broken back by the Serb.
The major difference though between the Big Three and the rest of the guys is their ability to raise their level when they need to and snuff out any thoughts of a comeback from their opponent. Medvedev was playing well in the third set even though he was down a break with Novak serving at 4-2 and looked like he was poised to get back on serve, but Novak just put the hammer down and played some fabulous tennis to hold serve. He just has the mental edge to his game that few others do.
