May as well start the ball rolling.
Cammie takes it to a fifth
The winner of this against Novak??
...not a chance.
Both very limited players. I'll be amazed if Norrie takes a set off Novak.
Terrific result from Norrie...deserved it overall
He won't unless Novak does that messing around in the first two sets
Could be right I don't have much background knowledge
I just call whatever I'm watching at the time whatever the sport
Watching the highlights of the Maria versus Niemeier match..looked like a terrific contest. In the little interview section Maria came across so well, real fairytale stuff.
Move over Murray we've got Norrie
good headline for The Sun
"Cam he win it?"
"A brit in the semi? norr-eally!"
And in the daily mail.
"Gorgeous Kate Middleton at Wimbledon bla bla"
"Does Meghan Markle hate Cam Norrie?"
This has really aged well from yesterday.
Think this is quite good from the US Open Twitter!
Think I'll give this a shot the next time I'm playing.
Should end well!
Well, that aged well!!
BBC2 did the business, got the rest of the Norrie match, and the tail end of Jabeur winning.
Interesting to hear herself and Maria are good pals, it's a big match for both of them!!
Sinner was still 3 years old when Djokovic played his first Wimbledon
Djokovic came back from 2 sets down in that tournament to win a match as well.
An interesting fact. Said no one, ever.
...
Didn't see the Djokovic match yesterday, sounds like it was very similar to the FO final last year, going 2 sets down, but, his opponent realized they had something to lose, retreated into their shell a bit and Djokovic pounced on his opportunity and never looked like losing once he broke in the third set, was that the case?
plenty of highlights on youtube and newspaper articles out there if like you say didn't see the match!
there is no shame for sinner in losing to by far the most successful grass-court player of the last decade with 6 titles and the last three in a row.
that's undoubted recent pedigree
Sinner had a good tournament and in his press conference said that he was happy that he could play better in every successive match
He'll keep working hard he says - he knows that you have to earn a slam - no gimmes facing nobodies on this tour!
it's not like he capitulated, blowing a 0-40 for a match-ending break to a guy who hadn't won in that slam in well over a decade and amassed just 8 games in total the last time he was in a final.
now that would be something!
Basically, after the magic chat to himself in the toilet break.
It was a rollover Musetti would be proud of 🙂
ah really - this old chestnut - really!?
p... c
Murray freely talks about going for a pep talk in the toilet when he won the US Open in 2012
The rules are the same for everyone.
Nadal and Federer (a former player) the same.
Nadal did the same at RG a month ago against Djokovic at 1-1 when Djokovic came back to win the second set.
Get over it.
Kyrgios spits into the crowd and is shouting mid-match that his opponent should be defaulted and people going to the toilet is being brought up!
Why are you doubting that I didn't see the match, I was working, so couldn't watch the match live, did see a few minutes of highlights, but, highlights don't always get across how a match went or how the momentum ebbed and flowed throughout the match, especially when you already know the outcome.
I wasn't doubting that at all - how did you pick that up?
merely agreeing that you didn't see the match.
plenty of free professional journalism articles out there on the web reporting on the match as said if highlights aren't your bag.
Musetti didn't even finish the match
I always said that Musetti would never amount to anything (some here saying he was the future of tennis lol) and he hasn't
Sinner bears no comparison to Musetti
Musetti has recently been seen in qualifying rounds for ATP tournaments and on the Challenger Tour
Nadal is actually living rent free inside your head 🤣
And in another post of yours further down, you tell someone "to get over it". Oh, the irony.
ah dear
winning a total of 8 games in a recent best of 5 set final and one previous title 13 years ago just isn't pedigree in my book sorry.
Ideally you have to beat the surface king to prove pedigree.
simply put.
but then again if you've lost 19 consecutive sets on the surface over a period of 10 years to that player that's not likely to happen is it?
I mean that does make for uncomfortable reading for some but that's just the fact of it.
some will just never be able to face that fact, never mind get over it!
Musetti was in the middle of preparing for his University final exams at the time and had also gone 5 sets to beat Berrettini. For a lad of 19 he did well to go 2 up against ND. I doubt he's finished; Junior World No 1 one;y 3 years ago, Junior AO champion and US Junior runner up.
For Djokovic, out of 7 times coming back from 2 sets in his career, 3 of those are in the last 15 months. Age certainly seems to be catching up with him.
Onto today's action - will Fritz be able to make a match of it with Nadal?
Fritz has had an easy run of it so far you'd have to say, including easily 3-setting Musetti (who wasn't preparing for or doing any exams at the time I believe) in the first round.
He hasn't dropped a set so far - not a stat I would put too much emphasis on but will mention it here mainly to show that he hasn't faced much adversary so far.
I think that he has a decent chance vs Nadal but it's hard to call in advance how that match will play out
Kyrgios is far superior to Garin on grass.
Berrettini was due to face Garin in round one but was Covid-ed out.
Will the news breaking to the public that Kyrgios is up in court for domestic abuse send the crowd against him and Kyrgios over the edge?
Intriguing.
If he doesn't flip the lid or prove unable to perform you can't see past Kyrgios but who knows what sort of thing will turn up?
Doubt the crowd will care about the allegations tbh, it never affected Zverev in any way despite much more serious allegations. Although given that the Zverev accusations were only made via Instagram perhaps they were taken a lot less seriously.
Jesus you arent wrong , Gray ,Molcan and Kubler is a dream run. Fritz for me gets 1 or 2 sets. Kygrios will have to implode , which is 50/50. Im very surprised by Garins run. Will be very interested to see how the crowd react.
