What a shame. This would have been a great match and I wanted to see Rafa in the final.

Was she one of them talking about periods?

sorry about my fake news posts in here


yes Halep lost, but ok also nice for a change we get a new wimbledon champion and a new slam champion in women's game

Norrie Losing Bad

BBC1HD Live

He just smashed his racket like a baby



Djokovic Thrashing the not very good Brit
AGAIN.

[Ch5HDnews Live just told utter rubbish
saying he has the home crowd backing him]

But he is Losing FAST, LIVE

At least Norrie took him to 4 sets ..

That’s four sets that Nick Kyrgios didn’t have to play through


I hope Kyrgios slaughters him on Sunday

Yes…I didn’t realise. She spoke about it.

Strange to see Djokovic dropping sets to mediocre players ...

He looks so thin ... especially his face

He started well…and played some good Tennis. Well done Norrie…

I really would love to see Kyrious beat him on Sunday.

For Not Winning?

Well he didn't quite thrash him, apart from the third set.

Going into the US Open Norrie will need to get better at serving aces, especially if he wants to make a Grand Slam final.

But regardless he has had a fantastic tournament, and he did have Djokovic on the ropes in the first set, which going into the tournament nobody would've predicted that Norrie was gonna even do that well, let alone being competitive with Djokovic.

Cameron Norrie is not mediocre player ~ He did well gettng to semi's.

I hope Djokovic gets thrashed in the final. whatever happens it will be a good match.

Isn't Norrie also the world number 12? I agree with you that he is clearly a very good player, he just isn't good enough to compete with an exceptional player like Djokovic.

I don’t think so…it wasn’t in the studio it was around centre court…she had a red dress on though :hehe:

For giving it his best…he was never going to win imo..

Fair Enough

Djokovic has never beaten Kyrgios…

Choosing between those two in the final is like choose the new conservative leader it's gonna be trash either way.

Kyrgios is my guy !!

So charismatic and largely misunderstood...

I’ll never trust the claim that excluding gluten from his diet allowed Djokovic to become superman practically overnight

A little background info


Djokovic was convinced to switch to this diet, which is gluten-free, after a doctor suggested the Serbian star has food allergies.

In 2010, Djokovic met with Dr. Igor Cetojevic, a Bosnian Serb, who believed Djokovic's frequent physical breakdowns in matches were the result of a wheat allergy, Borden wrote.

According to Borden, Cetojevic told Djokovic to put one hand against his stomach while holding the other straight out with his palm up. Cetojevic pushed down on this hand and told Djokovic to resist the pressure, which Djokovic easily did.


Cetojevic then told Djokovic to do the same thing while holding a piece of bread against his stomach, Borden reported. This time, Cetojevic easily pushed Djokovic's hand down.

"He was clearly weaker," Cetojevic told Borden. "It showed that his body was resisting the wheat."

Fantastic game in the mens wheelchair doubles. Well done the Brits.

Just incase you think I'm talking twaddle...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2118820.html

Yes..I have seen that lol.

Been watching the wheelchair singles and Doubles today…wow they are just amazing…

I think that Hewitt made the singles final didn't he?

Yes he did…then he went on to play the Doubles Semi….I mean how amazing is he :shrug:….he must be well and truly exhausted. The stamina to move around court alone…let alone play the tennis they did is just heroic.

Tbh…I have never watched the wheelchair tennis before. Apparently Hewitt said after winning the Quarters that they should play on the main courts…the Officials phoned him last night to say the Semis had been moved to Court one….he didn’t sleep a wink. He will sleep well tonight and I am delighted that they have this well deserved exposure.

He is below the high level
and has a Potty Mouth
that gets him fined..................................

Yes didn't they do well and so nice they got to play on Court 1 to a full house.

one advantage for Kyrgios, an extra rest day :)



but today

Jabeur vs Rybakina, well i hope Ons will win it



also Rybakina is born russian, but has been living almost entire life in Kazakhstan and has kazakhi passport now and no longer russian passport, very useful now, even more considering russian/belarusian players are banned here due to invasion of ukraine

women's wheelchair title for Diede de Groot, her 8th grand slam title in a row :cool:

she defeated japanese Yui Kamiji with 6-4, 6-2


and she can go for her 9th in a row, if she wins women's wheelchair doubles with partner Aniek van Koot, set to face the japanese, american duo Kamiji, Mathewson

Imo the Wheelchair Tennis players do phenomenal to play at a high level, especially in this heat.:joker:

And hopefully with Hewitt doing so well at this Wimbledon, hopefully it'll have grown the Wheelchair version's popularity in the UK to be put on Centre Court.

God her stats are impressive.:laugh:

yes, on same levels of another wheelchair tennis icon of ours Esther Vergeer, whom btw now currently is chef de mission for our paralympic team :D

Well done to Rybakina, great player and she seems lovely

Ironic that in the year Wimbledon bans Russian players we get a Russian born winner though lol
