Here's a curiousity question, if anyone is keeping these kind of records (or knows where to easily find them): With Nadal currently being 2.26 against Medvedev, when was the last time Nadal was above evens against anyone other than Federer or Djokovic? Must have been many years, surely? Unless there's been a case where he's obviously been injured beforehand and looked to soldier through.
I do love Nadal for his attitude. It's just never on to back him, be it as trading or straight bet option, as you're always paying a premium and he's been, in later years, an injury and withdrawal risk.
I know Medvedev's form these last months, but still...should have be odds on? He's lost twice to Nadal in those in-form months, and overall has 2 wins and 8 losses when running into one of the big three.
I'm taking Nadal's price now, and deciding as they get going, whether it'll be a straight bet or a starting position to trade from. Am I way off base here?

It was epic. Simply epic.
I don't know that there's another player on the planet, who'd be close to come back from that. Nadal looked completely drained in the first half of the 3rd set, and even showed signs of his hand cramping up (again!).
It was more than just the match point you mention.
The price even swung hugely after the 2nd, compared to prematch. Nadal was 2.28 pre, but 1.67ish iirc with 1-1 in sets, with Nadal looking much stronger- Only for Medvedev to look like handing out a bagel for a long while there in the 3rd
Nadal serving at 0-4, Medvedev had two break points to make it 0-5, but Nadal dug it out and won that 7-8 minute game, and Medvedev just blew up mentally from there.
After the match point, you mention, once it went 6-5 Nadal and Medvedev serving to go to tie-break, he played another two sloppy points to make it 0-30, with Nadal looking like steamrolling home. But Medvedev then seemed to, out of nowhere, regain his focus and served two aces and two unreturned first serves, before actually playing well in the tie-break despite losing out.

Thanks!
Would like to ask Betfair for more details in this regard. Maybe a list of tournaments in which they have not paid for a license fee, or don't plan to do so?
Do you have any recommendations as to how I should approach this? (How to contact Betfair etc.)

There was an issue with sportsradar yesterday with scores, Brisbane and Perth didn't have any score coverage and Sydney did. The issues are fixed now and scores provided for Brisbane, Perth and Sydney. The only tournament not covered by live scores API is the Aus open. all other ATP, WTA and Challenger events are covered.
What's more alarming is the new 3-second in-play delay. Better for courtsiders and fast feed people but for the majority of us, it's a big negative.
