Wimbledon 2023

Amazes me they get the same prize money as the men. Also, only playing a max of 3 sets.

Madness.

Yeah I felt Hurkacz threw away those first two sets and possibly the match. Apart from the serve everything else was awful.

Congrats to Vondrousova, was hoping she'd win. Had Jabeur played her A-game she would have won.

No but you were agreeing that it was awful tennis, reflective of the state that the women's tennis was in that an unseeded player won!

I do think it was an awful match but that was because Ons absolutely bottled it. As soon as scores were even she panicked and tanked it. While her tennis game might be strong, her mental game needs to be stronger. She reminds me of Murray , you can almost predict he'll lose by the way he walks onto the court.

The point I was making is while she might be unseeded at present, she has been playing tennis for a long time. Very good tennis at that!

I do think if she had played Ons in one of the first round matches Ons would have wiped the floor with her.

Centre court final the slightest knock had Ons off kilter and she paid a massive price for it.

Delighted Vondrousova won, listening to the BBC commentary it was like there was only one player playing, it was all about Jabeur, same as last year. Unless Jabeur learns to deal with her temperament she will never will a slam. She gets too high when on top and too low when things are against her, also came across as very cocky after winning the semi final. Vondrousova kept her calm well, considering the crowd were mainly for Jabeur and showed great mental strength to overcome a slow start and going a break down in the second, the narrative will be the Jabeur lost it, which is doing Vodrousova a disservice, credit where credit is due she took her chances and deserved her win

Was rooting for Jabeur but felt she bottled it somewhat, probably got too hyped and was going for the lines a lot for winners. She had big weight on her shoulders as trailblazer for African/Arabic tennis. Thought BBC coverage was pretty good overall. Still think Jabeur will get a Major or two though.

For what ever reason the pressure got to Jabeur, maybe she just wanted it too much, maybe it was the hype around her, the fact she was heavy favourite, or the pressure of the african/arab thing...or maybe it was a combination of things who knows, but she's definitely a person who struggles to control her emotions, she was all over the place today and you could see the occasion was getting to her, she was never calm, she was sulky when things went wrong and just looked unsettled from start to finish.

The talent is there but I think there are now serious questions about her mentality, does she have what it takes mentally to go on and win big...only time will tell.

On two Djokovic set exactas @ 40/1:  LWLWW and WLLWW 

Head says 3-1 Novak.

Heart hoping Carlos somehow manages to do something special.

If Alcarez keeps up the UE count he’s screwed

Looks ominous already

This is all Djokovic meets for the past several years. Bottlers. The game is gone

Maybe a little bit
