[Other Sport] Wimbledon 2022

[KZNSeagull]

They are a break down in the last now.

Lost 6-2 in the last set. Blew it. Great match though and the standard of tennis was immense.

And Ebden has now got to play in the mixed doubles final sometime tonight!

Nadal press conference at 7.20. Sounds like he is withdrawing through injury.

Edit: Yup, Nadal withdraws from tournament

Now confirmed.

Kyrgios will play either Djokovic or Norrie in the Final.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Boooooo

would not be happy if I had paid for tickets for tomorrow and only got one match

How gutting must it be for people who have tickets on Centre Court for tomorrow's men's semi-finals? So much pressure on Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie now to play a memorable match. I can't see it happening. Djok will want to get the job done ASAP. I imagine Kygrios will probably play a best of three-setter prep match against a friend to keep himself in tune for Sunday.

Havoc for the bookies as well. Refunds on Rafa and a very heavy snip on the 33/1 on Kygrios before Wimbledon taken off.

Even more gutting must be Kygrios getting a free pass to the final after his antics.

Yes, great stuff from Jabeur. The men's doubles on BBC2 is something else.

Indeed. 5 match points in 3rd set but lost in 5th!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Skupski and Krawczyk win the first set in the mixed doubles final in defence of their title.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Skupski and Krawczyk win in straight sets to defend their title. Another British (and American) Wimbledon win!!

Absolutely this! Not a fan of Djokovic but now really want him to thrash the idiot resulting in an on court meltdown. Sadly he's on form and no guarantee that he will lose to Djokovic. Should he win, the world needs to labour the point " well you didn't really win the title properly because of the bye in the semi ". Imagine his dismay!

Generally, number of grand slam wins is the major argument on considering who is the GOAT

Currently Nadal leads with 22 with Roger and Novak on 20. Federer unlikely to win anymore.

Without looking at the averages, you will never convince me the best batsman in living memory isn't Sir Viv Richards.

I don't need to look at averages, I know what I saw. Same goes for Roger Federer.

head to head maybe another way of looking at. I don't think that will get the result you want either.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

No - I’m with Simster on this and personally would put Roger and Rafa ahead of Djokovic whatever the stats end up saying.

Surely you wouldn’t say Ronaldo is automatically the GOAT in terms of strikers JUST because he’s scored the most would you? It’s too clinical a method of assessment for me.

I would also agree that Viv in his pomp was the most destructive batsman I’ve seen - is Bradman the best ever simply because he has the highest average? No, not for me.

Sporting discussions are fun but essentially just that

Norrie wins first set against Novax

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Norrie wins the first set 6-2. Djokovic is having an absolute shocker.

Nailed on for a toilet/injury break for Djokovic at some point.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Remember though he started very poorly against Sinner and then by the end was totally on top - long way to go

I am a Wimbledon convert.
Amazing facilities.
The best matchday staff I've ever come across, even better than Cororado Rockies which was my benchmark.
Clean toilets
Real Ale
Plenty of bars so no long queues.
Terrific signage
Lovely atmosphere.
Great food choice.

The wheelchair tennis is amazing and apparently our boy is currently ahead.

Only negative, no WiFi.

But this beats every single big sporting event I've ever been to.

Wembley, Lord's, Goodwood, Cheltenham, Royal Ascot.... this is how it's done

This and now taken the second set. Norrie always struggling to hold his serve in that one
