Peter Fleming has said that if Andy is fit and plays to recent standard only 3 players have a better chance to win Wimbledon - Novak, Rafa and Berrettini. Puts Andy 4th fave, basically. I agree. I so hope he's okay, a huge opportunity is round the corner.

Sebastian Korda out of Wimbledon with shin splints and injured feet. Needs to rest and recuperate. Lucky loser in. Not terrible news. I'm normally a good sport but this year the gloves are off and I'm all for whatever helps Andy in the draw, especially as more injury bad luck left him unseeded.

Cos mens doubles always played best of 5 sets and other 3 slams decided make it shorter. If mens singles best of 5 then mens doubles should be best of 5 too. For now Wimbledon keep best of 5.

I get the history, tradition, always done it that way. But tennis has changed hence the other slams all play best of three. Doubles is a lot more physically demanding than 'back in the day'( I LOATH that phrase) and the ATP/LTA/GS organisers want to attract more top names into doubles, but then Wimbledon force them to play best of five. Players could play two best of fives in a day. Which challenging singles player would agree to that. They've managed uniformity on fifth set tb, they should do the same with the doubles length.

I do understand they want more top singles players in doubles but doubles meant be full time tour doubles players and best of 5 sets usually fine for them. I understand it is tough for singles players play doubles when it also best of 5 too. That their choice. Doubles meant be full time doubles players and should keep best of 5 sets and it only happen once year! Rest of time they play best of 3 sets everywhere else.

Plus: Grand Slams suppose be hard to win anyway.

I’ve always kind of liked him, although right now I’m not sure why. He’s such a talented player but behaves like an out-of-control toddler, throwing a tantrum in a supermarket.

lovetennis

That match didn't cover the sport in glory, which is a shame as when they got around to actually playing there was much to enjoy. Hard to say who behaved the worst, Nick or Stefanos, but Nick just edged it for me. Felt like he baited the bad behaviour out of Tsitsipas, who should have known better than to rise to it. It also felt to me like the crowd enabled & encouraged Nick's bad behaviour. Certainly was a drama but I'd rather they let their tennis do the talking

From what I can see in the rules the most he should have had in the circs was a warning for the first one. I couldn't feel sorry for Tsitsipas given his own reputation for gamesmanship. As for Kyrgios, combine his brilliant tennis and his outlandish behaviour and I can't help thinking he's on a spectrum of some sort? Can't seem to control outbursts and even his interview was slightly odd.

Tennis making headlines for all the wrong reasons this morning, sadly.

That to me is the key outcome from last night. How much longer will the ATP allow Nick to play the pantomime villain role, (answer, as long as tennis gets the headline on front and back pages), how much longer will they allow their staff (umpires) to be constantly berated and their judgement questioned, and will both players get away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. I'm amazed Nick thinks his abuse of the umpire was just ' a bit of back and forth'.Methinks tennis players are a little too full of themselves

There's probably some PhD research in it for someone. Sat on Centre Court 3 days this year and observed behaviour I've not seen before at Wimbledon including someone vaping in the stand (steward did spot them and told him to stop) and a man getting up to go out in the middle of a point -even though he was quite near the court. The steward told him off but by then it was too late. Also had people in the hospitality seats directly behind me talking throughout play (not even about the tennis but I do now know all out their shares portfolios). This was not addressed by the stewards even though the gangway entrance was right by us, so they must have been aware. I did turn to ask the talkers to shush but they just glared at me and carried on. You can't buy good manners

Guerkins2

This year it mixed both mens and womens quarters over 2 days Tuesday and Wednesday. I going Wimbledon tomorrow Court 1 with ticket I got from ballot for 2020. Cam Norrie on court 1! Bonus!!! I was expecting womens only quarters. Must have changed scheduling 2nd week cos of middle Sunday now playing day.

The “ageing bull” (haha) is my no 2 and I want him to win the title now, so I don’t care how easily he wins. I queued for resales on Sat as hadn’t seen him play live thus far and have a feeling it may well be his last Wimbledon. He won easily v Sonego and I was delighted :big grin:

Chuffed to bits with that win for Cameron Norrie!!!
:bravo:
He's worked so hard to reach the top echelon in tennis and that was tough to come through.

Djokovic will be another level, someone with Grand Slam winning mentality.
But he won't like playing a left-handed Brit on Centre Court in the Semi-final.
Both had long 5setters so it might be a survival of the fittest - and hungriest to reach the Final.

Fabulous to see Cameron clinch it, was looking a bit dicey at one point but tremendous grit and determination to find a way through.

I do understand it very annoying but honestly if Fritz cannot even beat injured Nadal (He was injured long enough in match for Fritz able take advantage if only he was good enough) then he doesn't really deserve be in semis.

I am no Nadal fan. I do watch him but I don't support him.

Exactly. Nadal should have retired against Fritz. It was blindingly obvious that he didn't have another match in him, but he carried on and has deprived Fritz of a place and fans of major semi.

I am not particularly a Rafa fan and I don't think it was blindingly obvious he would not be able to play the next match. There are plenty of times when players push through a match injured and manage to play the next match. If all players withdrew when injured there wouldn't be much tennis. Rafa did not undergo a scan until this morning and did not know how bad it was until then and was told that playing with it could make it worse. Should Kyrgios have retired from his match because of his shoulder just in case he could not play the next one?

themass15
07-07-2022, 19:54
Couldn't agree more with your post above

RosieBear
07-07-2022, 19:56
It was extremely clear from his camp screaming at him to retire and fans incredulous comments that he was able to finish the match at all that he hung on by a thread and was going to have next to nothing in the next round. It was a judgement call and Rafa judged that even if he had 0.001% of a chance in the next round he would go for it. That's Rafa.

And people keep saying they're not Rafa fans but I'm not a Taylor Fritz fan, totally indifferent to him, but I know how I'd feel if this was done to Andy. But the worst thing is fans being done out of one the biggest matches of the year.

Anyway, I've had my say - it's one to agree to disagree about
