Wimbledon roleplaying like the Tour de France with excessive falls causing injury. Mannarino fell up 2-1 in sets vs Federer and had to retire shortly after, and Serena Williams retired at 3-3 after a fall.

That's in addition to some other injuries and Djokovic falling like 19 times yesterday but he's made of too much rubber to get injured by something liek that.

Kyrgios seemed to think they were watering the courts too much then they had some rain, he also complained about the pace of the court saying it's not a usual Wimbledon surface.
 
To be fair, he hasn’t played much since AO 2020. Anyone thinking he was going to win this tournament was probably dreaming. That said, yes, 6-0 at Wimbledon must hurt. I would be very shocked if Novak doesn’t win this. All his danger men are already out.
Sounds like it could be his last Wimbledon. At least he couldn't say whether he will be back next year. Maybe the same for Serena Williams.

The problem isn't that he hasn't played much. The problem is that he's over a year after his surgery and this is where his level is at. He's not getting younger. Even without knee injury, and natural decline since 2019 he'd probably be really struggling in 2022.

I think with Federer his fans tend to look at the really good patches in matches while ignoring all weaker points and easy errors and sort of fail to see his average level is shot.

Federer is at like 51% games won for the year, and that's without playing any top 10 opponents.
