Wimbledon 2022

Nick will stay looser in the wimbeldon final vs the 6 time winner?

The Wimbledon odds are 1/4 in favor of djkovic

The odds are so forward in favor it is ridiculous

I managed to stay away from news, and watched the match, just finished now.

Pretty much as I expected it to pan out.

Norrie's game was just a bit naive compared to Djokovic's - any time he had a choice of where to hit, he nearly always went the predictable way, and his shot came straight back at him. Or he put it in the net - the amount of unforced errors was shocking. He just wasn't able to second guess his opponent at all.

The post-match interview was very strange - not a lot of reaction to Djokovic (having beaten the home favourite, not surprising), and then all the booing at the mere mention of Kyrgios. The atmosphere on Sunday will be interesting!

I'll probably miss the final on Sunday, and I'm not that bothered tbh - I cannot stand Kyrgios and his antics, and I'm not a huge fan of Djokovic's either, so if somehow neither won I'd be as happy.

I'll also miss tomorrow's ladies' final, and I'm very bothered about that! I'm going to have to record and try to avoid results again - I'm hoping that Jabeur can do it on the day - rooting for old-school tennis style and finesse to triumph against the pounding of the modern power game.

Kygrios has nothing to lose. There's no real pressure on him except the pressure he puts on himself. There huge pressure on novak. He even mentioned it himself in his post match press conference. He's not won a grand slam since Wimbledon, and lost in the US open final when the the calendar golden slam was on the cards. He has spoken he's wants the out majors and if he doesn't win this one the chances are he will never achieve it.

Women's final should be worth a watch @ 1.30

While we're counting stuff, how many sets has Djokovic taken off Kyrgios? Ever. 😃

Anyone else thoroughly sick of the overdose of stats they're spitting out ad nauseum these days?

God be with the days of having mph for serve, and that was it. Then Hawkeye on request by the players. That was more than enough.

Now, between historical facts on everything from how many Weetabix a player has for breakfast, to how many forehand slice dropshots they played in the last 4.725 matches held on a Friday when the sun was shining, there's barely any time for commentary on the match any more.

Andrew Castle is the worst for it, but they're all at it.

And what pisses me off most is that the commentators have the use of Hawkeye even when the players don't challenge - there's a serious bang of the cleverest (cheating) smart alek in school about them when they say "oh, he should have challenged that time, Hawkeye shows us it was actually in/out" - so what???

Shut up and commentate on what's actually happening ffs.

Phew, now that I've got that off my chest (it's been building throughout the two weeks), I'm off to have a lovely day out sailing - and hoping to catch up on a great ladies' final this evening!

🤣🤣

She has been "from" Kazakhstan since 2018...she isn't a Russian citizen anymore. Anyway not looking like she will win based on match so far, she is being outplayed.

Jabeur wins first set as rybakina’s sat nav went in the blink in the last game of the set.

Rybakina looking out of sorts so far...that last service game in set 1...wow, Jabeur didn't really need to fully kick into gear to win that first set.

Rybakina breaks....we might just have a contest!

Jabeur is extremely tricky to be fair, lots of slices, keeping ball low. This set looks to be more of a contest!

I'd love it if Rybakina could win this . The perfect way to round out the tournament after the all england club banned russian/belarussian players to have another former russian take it home

I got confused with a story and one post about who the Australian number one was in relation to a really fast moving COVID vaccine/tennis conversation....

No need to bring it up again and again...but you know what, I knew you would...it's a dick move but entirely predictable from you.

I didn't say I didn't know who she was absolute nonsense. I admitted I didn't follow woman's tennis closely I didn't know she was world number 1.

I am not going to derail this thread, but you could maybe try being less of a nasty presence on here. I don't enjoy engaging with you so we are done, to ignore you go.

Bit of a turnaround!

Kinda gutted for Jabeur she has come apart really :(...hopefully the crowd can lift her!

Both first time finalists in a grand slam. Its natural that things would be a bit scrappy at times

So Wimbledon ban Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament and a Russian born player wins the woman's title ? That’s funny stuff.

Coupled with Medvedev becoming #1 because of no ranking points being awarded.

Pretty much spot on for me too. Bit gutted for Jabeur but hey she will still have other chances I am sure.
