Wimbledon 2022

[Bert]

Serving for the set….

[rachhere]

What a game to break Goffin there. And into a fifth we go! 

[foxes_rule1978]

Norrie really come on! 

[rachhere]

Keep calm...!

[Arkie Bennett]

Norrie's not the only one with a semi on.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Norrie looks like Ron-Robert Zieler

[Super_horns]

Well done Cam Norrie - definitely British for a few days .
 

 

[foxes_rule1978]

Yesss!!! Wonderful

I have been watching him for 5 years but maybe for the Wimbledon only fans  

[rachhere]

Well done Cam. Sad for Goffin - I stayed at the same hotel as the Belgium team during the Davis cup finals (along with a load of other Brits). He spent quite a bit of time chatting to the supporters in the lobby and came across as such a nice guy (even when we beat them!).

Why don't women have 5 rounds like men? surprised there hasn't been a protest group setup.

 

And this Rybakina is hot, good player as well could probably win it.

Because the likes of Alize Cornet would probably theatrically die on court if they played five sets.

 

As for Rybakina, might not be this year, but she’s got the suitable game to win Wimbledon at some point 👍🏻

A lot of the tournaments for men are best of 5 just like the women. 

[The Bear]

Most tournaments are three sets men. It's just the slams where it's different. 

 

They really should all be three sets until the QFs then five sets for both men and women. 

[PhillippaT]

Feeling more confident about my pick of Halep for the Women singles atm - still not sure about the men, though - which is good!

Looks like it. Dammit. Shame.   

 

EDIT: He's back on court...

Taylor Fritz casting another injury spell on Rafa 

 

That’s twice this year he’s been injured against him

Aww he'll be okay once he's had a puff on Novak's water bottle.... allegedly

[Jimothy]

Rafa is constantly injured, its degenerative condition that won't get better, he's just managed to manage it up to now, but its getting worse. I don't think he'll play on much longer tbh. He might try and push to the end of year, but maybe call it after that.

[PhillippaT]

Nadal isn't giving up or going away, regardless of how he's suffering!

If he gets through this injured after an absolute slog the last thing he's going to want to see in the next round is Kyrgios waiting for him

Yep - I don't think Kyrgios is minding this 5-set epic too much.

[Super_horns]

Nadal really doesn’t know when he is beaten !

You don't win that many grand-slams by accident!

 

EDIT: Now has thoughts/images of Jar Jar Binks winning Wimbledon...
