Straight sets over Djokovic in a Wimbledon final. 

 

Ridiculously good barring 5 mins of jitters. Next decade of tennis is his.

Slightly like Novak gave up a bit. Made up for Alcaraz.

[HybridFox]

1-0 Spain 

[kingfox]

Thank god he managed to close it in that set(Hopefully that twat who screamed at 5-4, 40-30, still gets a slap though) 

[StanSP]

Nice words from Novak to be fair.

Only one other man has done that.

 

But yep, back to Carlos, it looks like he could be dominant for a rather long time.

Old father time catching up finally

British teams in both doubles matches going on at the moment. The girls' doubles is looking promising.

Let's hope this is the only Spain success today.

[Super_horns]

Final wasn’t very long then - missed it all .

 

Hopefully it’s not as one sided for Spain tonight !

 

Well done to Alfie Hewitt as well .

[Spacey_Fox]

Sense of bereavement settling in 

 

BBC cutting before the mixed doubles presentation as usual.

[Super_horns]

Officially the end of a great career coming up .

BBC News - Murray to retire after Paris Olympics

Least surprising news of the day. Think we all knew it just wasn't official until now.

Thank you, Andy.

Sinner lucky to get away without a ban?

I trust that giving the full investigation that it is very true he unknowingly took the substance. Being low levels too it is very much the case

Dan Evans 

 

longest match in US Open history and was 0-4 down in the decider.
 

He’ll get smashed in the next round now mind 😂

[Super_horns]

Just reading about Dan Evans.

 

Incredible fight back - certainly dug that one out .

 

Disappointing for Raducanu  - always looked to be a tough tight match .

[leicsmac]

Fantastic from the Danimal.

[foxes_rule1978]

Good wins for Evans and Draper, Evans much needed straight sets after that big first round match.

Nice work .

 

Just noticed Alcaraz lost !

A big shock.

Alcaraz and Djokovic out in back to back nights 

[Lionator]

Hopefully somebody new will pick up a slam now those two are out. I guess whoever wins the (predicted) quarter final between Sinner and Medvedev will probably do it though?

Both GS winners before but agree seems wide open .

[Lionator]

Draper should be making the semi’s from here, given the draw and how he’s playing.
