Wimbledon 2022

I can only think of parallel with a certain politician in the news - "career monster, (anything) to progress on for more greatness"

It is professional sport but there are lines I think. We'll agree to differ!

Why can’t Fritz play Krygios ? Rather than not having a semi final match at all . Bit of a farce

Shít situation but if Fritz can't beat a 36 year old with an abdomen tear then he has no business being in the semis. He choked big time yesterday, should never have dropped that second set and should have gone through 3-0.

Nick Kyrgios in a Wimbledon final. A lot of weird shít like Trump and the Brexit circus has happened over the past 5-6 years but this is up there for me.

Absolute nonsense.

He beat him fair and square you are allowed to treat an injury and take pain killers if needed, he could have recovered enough to play the semi but unfortunately not in this case. It happens in pretty much every sport.

Fritz couldn't beat him....he lost...not good enough on the day.

Its extremely common.

Errr and Fritz did exactly the same in the past...in match against...you guessed it Nadal..lol

Nadal played by the rules… simple as.

Djokovic could turn up with an abdomen tear tomorrow and still probably win in straight sets. Norrie has no hope.

why not have Boris Johnson play Kyrgios tomorrow? I mean he has time on his hands 🙃

You do realise that every sentence where you mention he was no. 1 also includes the word 'injury'. Joinda.

If Fritz couldn't beat a crooked Nadal, he doesn't deserve to play in the semi final, also the idea of Fritz playing the semi final in place of Nadal is ludicrous, you could have a situation where Fritz could then go on to win the tournament despite losing in a previous round, how is that fair!

It's Djokovic's to lose now, he probably couldn't have dreamed of a better situation, only Norrie (a limited grinder) & Kyrgios (a loose cannon) in his way.

Also regarding Murray, he became No 1 in late 2016, then got injured, while it could be argued he was the best player in the latter half of 2016, it also needs to be taken into account that Djokovic had just won all 4 slams in the previous 12 months, so a dip in form would be expected, also, both Nadal & Federer missed the latter half of 2016, all combining to gave Murray the opportunity to overtake the big 3 for a brief period. Ultimately Murray's body couldn't sustain that level. He was a great player, but, just a bit short of the other 3, there's absolutely no shame in that at all

I fear Norrie will get hammered today...he didn't play that well against Goffin. Plus I think Djokovic hammered him pretty recently.

Kyrgios with a few extra days rest might have a chance against Djokovic he is definitely capable of giving him a match.

The advantage of the extra days rest is an interesting one. If novak wins in three sets I would say it actually puts him in a more advantageous position.

Going from very intense play to three days off to then playing in final is a very strange one. I could see a player starting out very flat in that situation. It must be very difficult to keep focus and the mental intensity at a high level when all you are doing is waiting around for three days.

Nadal v Kyrgios not to be what a shame 😕

it would have been an all-time classic
