Apparently Nadal isn't going to Wimbledon or the Olympics.

Djoko's eyes just got bigger......................

Nadal was never gonna trouble Djokovic at Wimbledon.

Neither will Federer it looks like. He looked like retirement in Halle

Looks to me like Djokovic is a favorite vs the field at Wimbledon

I think Nadal is the only one who could have pushed Djokovic at Wimbledon. However, I'm a bit more surprised Nadal isn't going to the Olympics more than Wimbledon.

Wimbledon draw is out. Literally all the landmines are in Medvedevs half.

Based off the year of oldies coming back, Roger Federer will win Wimbledon over Novak.

 

[Red Rick]

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.

think the fans have a point

Wimbledon must really hate having a good atmosphere at any point. That rule is ridiculous.

RG had an instant hit with their night matches with public. It's ridiculous Wimbledon didn't embrace all the roof had to offer years ago.

Come on, Andy! Watching him play at Wimbledon the day after Cavendish winning in the Tour really makes me feel like we're in a time loop.

 

[Red Rick]

Lob to finish it.

Best ending since LOTR.

Ostapenko has beef with an opponent basically every single tournament.

Hasn't done much since her French Open win.

Hasn't done much since her French Open win.

I think at one point she was like 7-7 at RG with 1 win and 7 first round losses

 

[BullsFan22]

Hasn't done much since her French Open win.

And Tomjanović hasn’t done much….at all. Never in the top 30, no titles in her career.

I'm not surprised. Her tactic of "hit the worst serve possible then hit everything esle as hard as possible" doesn't seem like a recipe for prolonged success.

 

[Red Rick]

Zverev back in double fault form. 20 in one match lol.

 

[BlueRoads]

Kerber in the semi-finals. I'm so happy for her, even if against Barty at latest she will go out for sure.

 

[Red Rick]

That is one bad loss for Federer. I think he's near the end of the road.

I guess he didn’t get the message he was supposed to win Wimbledon at all. Even worse, I asked my mom last night when he’ll lose and she said today.

 

[BullsFan22]

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.
