Wimbledon 2024

First set to Krejcikova.

Needs to hold serve here

paolini 3-0 in the second set. Much better from Paolini.

That bathroom break for Paolini really did the trick

Now it's Krejcikovas turn

McEnroe seems very suspicious of Paolini's improvements. Says that he's being questioning her massive improvements over the last few months.

she does it. Third championship point.

Paolini can't be too sad, 4 million earned in last 6 months, she's earning if not winning, French Open runner up too

This young crop the best you've seen? What sport are you watching? The only one who may be a great is Alcaraz, possibly Sinner. But it's hard to even rank Alacaraz's ability, as the rest are so bad. Would he beat a prime Roddick for example? Or Del Potro? Possibly, but it's hard to judge.

You say it's because Djokovic is a once in a lifetime player. He's 37 man, and he's not the player he was. Many of these lads have had his beating in recent years as I said, but wilted under the pressure. It's not because Djokovic is so good thay're not winning or breaking through, its because they're collapsing and bottling it all on their own, which shows how poor they are.

Djokovic still winning isn't a testament to how good he is, its a testament to how bad they are. And I'd expect Alcaraz to beat Djokovic comfortably tomorrow, as the only youngster who is proving himself. Any top youngster should be winning a match like tomorrow comfortably

Yeah same. Too much filler about relationships and whatnot. Wouldn't be a big tennis fan anyway so probably didn't help. I think a series like that suits F1 with all the driver + team politics.

Agreed, Djokovic won't be as forgiving of his wandering concentration / occasional theatrics as his other opponents through the rounds.

He'll need to be 100% on his game 100% of the time, and I think he'll do it.

Could be a long one

Hooray!

Now, can he PLEASE not just give it straight back??

novak will need to improve his 1st serve percentage here

Watch it on Eurosport then.

Good call, didn't realise it was on both! 👍

Very disappointing start. This could be over very soon.

Castle and Henman. Quit trying to sound Spanish when pronouncing Alcaraz. Say it like Nick. You sound stupid

Novak looking beaten

Novak looks so flat. Alcaraz playing well, but nothing extraordinary

*21

He has looked flat many a time before but dug it out.

Not today though, he was poor in last years final too but managed to hang in there doggedly.

It doesnt say much for the depth of the mens game that Djokovic reached th efinal despite being unfit and after surgery.

I might be able to watch the football semi final without having to watch it on a screen the way this is going.

Some ridiculous shots from Alcaraz.

Hmmm..... a service hold to love for Djoko..... Alcaraz needs to hold firm here, keep his head together......
