While I can't really agree with this final wish since I obviously have other hopes, I do agree with the rest of your comment - he's an absolute legend. As a younger player he had to learn to thrive in negative atmospheres, and now that that's all he knows he sometimes looks for them himself in...

Amazing final, couldn't have asked for better. It had everything, and even the two players had everything. Carlos has absolutely cemented the worth of his #1 ranking (which would have been taken over by Djokovic if he'd won) by beating Novak in this 5-setter of a Wimbledon final. Right now...

Welp, suddenly Sinner's performance doesn't look that bad after this first set :lolol: just kidding of course, he was quite bad on important points regardless of how good Novak was. If and only if Djokovic wins this final, my personal hopes for the USO are: 1) Sinner (or another Italian) wins...

Devastating loss for Jabeur, her post-match reaction and interview were heartbreaking. I'm really happy for Vondrousova, she and her box were both ecstatic and disbelieving but she really deserved it. Her game is varied and suited for grass, and despite the injuries she suffered she isn't new to...

Her husband is not her coach, he's just her physio. Her coach is the dark-haired man in the box.

The thing is that having such a similar game style to Novak's is a disadvantage for Jannik when he plays against him, because then it simply comes down to who can execute that same game better and that relates to mental toughness and focus - and Djokovic is the undisputed best in that. Plus...

They'll get to them no problem in an instant, they're trained to get much quicker and far-flying balls. No idea who started it.

Lmao why would it be disrespectful to the ball kids? And different balls accumulate different level of wears and tears and fluffiness during the match, you might want to pick the one that is in better condition for you

As I was saying... :down: It never gets any less devastating, no matter how much you've convinced yourself that you're prepared to see your favourite lose to Djokovic. Edit: Now I hope Novak plays at least this well in the final, it would be so frustrating if he somehow dropped after this

Vondrousova this morning: "Let's do this" And they did :clap:

Love this, it will be a great final between two very fun creative players! Couldn't have asked for more.

Eh, if I was trying to stay rational and level-headed I'd say that Djokovic is unbeatable at Wimbledon even this year, and that giving his opponents hope just to crush it in the end is exactly what he does. But I really have confidence in Jannik this year. He's improved and he's played well in...

Really hope not. I'm alright with any other combination of players, including Sabalenka-Vondrousova and Jabeur-Svitolina. But a Sabalenka-Svitolina final would be terrible, it wouldn't really be a tennis match. All the journos dripping saliva at the mere thought though.

The second to last point with the Rublev dive was incredible

So happy for him! And it doesn't hurt that I don't like Tsitsipas that much. Watching Eubanks against Medvedev will be hilarious, the battle of the tall stick figures :lolol:

Definitely. She's talented and full of spirit, just needs to patiently direct it with the help of a good coach. On another note, I fear this evening's match between Berrettini and Alcaraz will end up being cut in half because of curfew just like the previous ones on centre court recently. Just...

Matteo :love: so happy for him

Never been to Umbria actually, I live in the foggy and flat part of Lombardy, but I'll take you up on that if I ever find myself in Brighton

Sad for Murray but he fought well, for some petty irrational reason I can't stand Tsitsipas so I'm glad he had to sweat 5 sets to win this. Only Berrettini and Sinner left in the tournament from the Italian contingent, Berrettini won't go far but I hope he can get the better of Zverev next round...

I live a fair bit farther North and my chronic insecurity/indecisiveness keeps me from permanently decorating my skin, but I'll be sure to track down the girl next time I go to Rome and ask her all about you
