That is why men should continue to play best of 5!

 

Cracking watch that

Disrespectful from Norrie. No need to do these theatrics mocking Jarry for the last point dive. 

Probably just relived to get over the line, Jarry was moaning all game

It was intentional, this is why Jarry had a word with him. Tbh I didn't see Jarry moaning at Norrie. In fact he was a lot more quiet in general than usual.

The men only play 5 sets in the Slams four times per year. They should be well used to playing 3 set matches already. 

Even more reason the men should continue to play 5 sets in the slams, emphasising how special those tournaments are.

Speaking personally I'd rather players like Norrie had a bit more needle if it drove them to win more. 

 

Good win, last Brit standing. 

[Super_horns]

Well played Cam Norrie

 

Tough match but battled hard to win .

[leicsmac]

Norrie v Alcaraz in the QF then. 

 

Don't expect a shock there tbh, but I just hope Cam gives a good account of himself.

Long way still to go for Alcaraz, but he is good enough to match Borg’s 5 Wimbledons achieved by the age of 24.

I think likely Sinner is the only one who can stop him from doing so.

Yes they seem to be the next duo to dominate.

 

Such a contrast to the ladies !

Just come back from Centre Court, Alcaraz is making all of it hard work, big fan, but got a feeling Sinner might turn the tables if they both make the final.  BUT what a match that will be, if so.

Does no one feel that Djokovic has one more Wimbledon left in him?

If he doesn't fetch up against Alcaraz or Sinner, perhaps. But I think those two now have the skill and longevity to outlast him in a five set match.

If he had only 1 really tough match, he might have a chance BUT Probably has to beat Cilic in the quarters, then Sinner in the semi's and Alcaraz in the final, Alcaraz has Norrie next.  Gets much harder for Djokovic now, as to be expected at this point in the draw.

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.

Some Scottish chap won a tournament.,

Sinner obviously the main man but Italian tennis seems to be in good health .

I'm really looking forward to not having to watch this turnip go from blowing out of his arse to completely unplayable after an end of set break and a couple of sips of his potions. 

[Super_horns]

Andreeva is a very good young player .

[Torquay Gunner]

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. 

[Jimothy]

This would be cruel on Dimitrov if he has to quit here.

[StanSP]

That's horrible for Dimitrov

 

[Torquay Gunner]

Lucky lucky Sinner. 

[Nalis]

Really feel for the guy

[Super_horns]

Oh dear .

 

Really cruel bad luck for Dimitrov .

Shame for him .

[AKCJ]

Feel awful for the lad.
