Wimbledon 2023

Well that was fantastic and great to see the old Goat finally having to face up to Father Time and the confidence of youth. As someone put it on commentary, he has finally understood what it's been like to play himself. Mens tennis needed that.

Not much use once it went to 1 set each . . .

You'd have to think that Nadal will have enjoyed that, a bit of a protege and winning at the highest level against the establishment. The low driving loopy forehand Alcaraz has looks just like Rafa in action at times.

That was a great match and Alcarez looks to have a head start on all the young guns as far as I can see so if he can take care of Djokovic I see no

reason why he won't win at least 2 of the next 4 slams, definitely wins RG next year and either one or both of the us open and wimbledon.

That's true, you said you were already on in one post and mentioned 6/1 in another

You must have been talking about the toilet then....of course what on earth were we thinking? 😂

Incredible final.

Alcaraz has it all , no reason he won't dominate for a good while now, nobody under the age of 35 looks close to him.

There's a toilet connection somewhere here alright.

There is nothing odd about giving a smart a$$ response to a smart a$$ question.

The match was epic. I am delighted too. I don't have any time for Novak's style of play, for want of a better word. And I firmly believe today was the first time in a very long time he met decent opposition and I feared for tennis.

I didn't even know that result, must watch the highlights.

It was hard to imagine a day like today would ever come, it was like Djokovic would just go on winning forever. Delighted 😍

Especially since it was on grass, which you'd have thought would be the last surface that Alcaraz would beat Djokovic to a grand slam on. Instead it was the first, his rise has been meteoric. I'd never count Djokovic out but if Alcaraz can outlast him over 5 sets on grass then you'd have to fancy him in New York in September. Djokovic doesn't have a great record there anyway.

Similar to you, I gave Alcaraz a punchers chance today but really thought grass would be the last surface he would conquer. His improvement really has been meteoric.

As for the USO, it's a long ways off yet, but Alcaraz is 100% favourite there. Reigning champion, surface more suited to his game, and Djokovic has a poor-ish record there. Plus I don't think Alcaraz has anything to fear now. I think he would have won the FO semi too, only for nerves, amazing turn around in attitude and approach since then. Credit to his team.

Alcarez will be GOAT in the future, unless there's the players to come through or through bad injuries.

Just not seeing it. Unless the opposition are weak

Wonderful final. Alcarez deserved that, he hung in there and reaped the rewards. Djokovic's speech after the game speaks volumes about him, genuine and a top top man as well as the best ever to pick up a tennis racket.

The young man Alcaraz will dominate for years to come, he's a different breed to Rune, Sinner etc.
