sadly lost in 5 sets against Rublev

Yeah I watched it much to my irritation.  Shame but Rublev really raised his game in the 4th and 5th sets.

[Dr Marco]

Norrie putting a hell of a fight against Sverev! 5 set now!

[leicsmac]

This looks like it's going the full distance.

[leicsmac]

Zverev too clinical in the tie break. Damn shame.

 

Tbh I miss having extended fifth sets - perhaps they could do the TB at 9-9 rather than 6-6? That would give a little extra time for skill or luck to count and wouldn't be a much bigger strain on players or schedules.

Shame for Norrie.

 

Alcaraz on fire. Who is everyone tipping to make the final? I have a funny feeling Sinner will take out the Djoker, so going for Alcaraz v Sinner to make the final

Can't see beyond the obvious Djoker v Alcatraz tbh.

If Sinner hadn’t beaten him in the Davis cup final I would have agreed with you. 

[Dr Marco]

I want anyone but Djokovic to win

[Super_horns]

Tougher tests than expected for Djokovic and Gauff.

Will be a late one for Sinner and Rublev.

Not even started yet !

[Mike Oxlong]

I wouldn’t mind being Anna Kalinskaya’s ball boy 

[Super_horns]

Zverev 2 sets and a break up !
 

Rather surprising ?

 

But CA won the 3rd after Zverev was serving for the match so has the game swung momentum?!

Is Zverev going to bottle it again 

[kingfox]

Hard to watch Zverev with a domestic abuse case hanging over him.

 

Hoping for a Sinner vs Medvedev final, but no doubt Djokovic will win it.

Although Sinner has beaten Djokovic recently  Novak just knows how to get it done .

Well......

[Super_horns]

Twice in a row for Sinner.

 

Impressive.

[rachhere]

Well I predicted one finalist out of two, so not terrible! Alcaraz really needs to sort his serve out - he doesn’t get enough easy points, which can work when the rest of your game is working, but not as it was the other day. Once he does that I still maintain he will be at the top for years. 
 

fingers crossed for Medvedev in the final, and then I think I would have to back him seeing he has that winning experience.

Thank you Tennis gods 

[Lionator]

Thank goodness the abuser lost. Really like both Medvedev and Sinner, a great chance for Med to cement his place as a great player, and Sinner will win plenty of grand slams so will be good to get off the ground and not be another Thiem, Rune etc

[Super_horns]

Wonder how Zverev will cope with blowing that lead but fair play to Medvedev.

[Lionator]

Medvedev proving that ultimately Russians are bottling losers. 

[PhillippaT]

Congratulations to Jannik Sinner! We'll see if he can keep it going...

[leicsmac]

Judging from what he said today, I reckon Wimbledon this year will be Murrays last tournament.

Wimbledon/Olympics farewell for Murray ?
