Well fair play to Sinner, but it certainly did not live up to expectations (mine at least).
-
Yes and Alcaraz’s first serve percentage has been poor. Sinner has served so much better so far.
-
Hope for a five setter, with Alcaraz the victor.

If only…….

You have to feel for Anisimova, particularly with her recent history.
-
How did she not win one game on her serve?
-
I assume this is the first time this has ever happened in a modern Wimbledon final.

Fair enough, I will be cheering on Alcaraz tomorrow. Does that make me a fan, I suppose it does. Sinner was very fortunate not to get dumped out in the quarters.
-
I do think Jack Draper has taken a giant leap in his progress in the last 12 months . He has shown he is capable of beating the very top players such as Alcaraz, Fritz and Rune. As he is still only 23 and if he carries on this arc then I can see him winning at least one slam during his career. I don’t have that parochialism fortunately, I just admire the skill, fitness and mental fortitude that you need to be a top tennis player. It is also how you conduct yourself on and off court, which is why someone like Kyrgios is a major turn off.
-
Not a great fan of Sinner, but Alcaraz seems reasonably likeable in his interviews and a fantastic tennis player to boot. Anyone you do like?
-
PDiddy, or Puff Daddy, not sure which sounds the most ridiculous.
-
Nah, fresh prince has lost his mojo.
-
I thought Gary Busey was on co-comms.
-
Difficult one, but don’t think you could have done much more tbh. I assume they knew each other.

I thought Arteta might go after Jackson, he would be that stupid. Actually it could still happen, must be something written into his contract that he needs to buy Chelsea dross every season. -

The timing of his contract ending and the official charge days later bothers me. -

Hopefully not Madueke, what with him being s**t and all. -
Yes he perhaps isn’t as likeable, as Nadal or Federer. However, as the only one of the trio that have won every slam at least three times, you could argue he has the better all round game. If I needed someone to win some hypothetical match for my life, I would have to choose Djokovic!

Gone but not forgotten and certainly not the death list

Can’t be many left from Thatcher’s senior ministers. Hurd and Major perhaps. -
Sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself. I lost my dear Mum in 2019 and I still find it difficult to process.
-
Lucky lucky Sinner.
-
I have not seen a lot of Sinner this tournament, but I assume he has a few more gears to go up, if Dimitrov starts to fade that is.
-
He’s got de Minaur today and has of course beaten Sinner at two previous Wimbledons. If he does get past those two, whether or not he can make it third time lucky against Alcaraz(provided he gets there) should be interesting. He must know that it is going to end quite soon for him, as far as slams are concerned.
