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

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.

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

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.

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."

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
