The real Tennis thread.

[Dazed and Confused]

Fritz suspended at 2-2 with still over 40 minutes to go, why can‘t they try to finish the match?

Risky, the avg time for the prev. sets seems close to 40mins. Hard stop at the wimbledon etc. I would have made the same call.

Wimbledon tennis park is in a residential area and they have specific agreements with local town council about this.

Wimbledon tennis park is in a residential area and they have specific agreements with local town council about this.

And the agreement specified that they couldn‘t start the 5th set at 22:20 with the 23:00 curfew? It‘s not like the sets before went 90 minutes, they had a good chance to get it done today.

But would everyone be cleared out in time?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So Fritz vs Perricard has been resumed.

1-1 in 5th.

Thisi s the sort of match that shouldn't have a 5th set tiebreak.

softness is creeping in everywhere....

 

[Red Rick]

Comical game by Perricard to lose it. That's some baseline play that would make Karlovic shake his head.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The first thing the trio looked at was the placement of Karlovic in the Wimby draw.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Would be nice to see Rinderknech beat Zverev, looks like it might be a long one.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Rinderknech vs Zverev
In 5th, Rinderknech up a break 3-1

Rinderknech vs Zverev

3-2 now, and the boys are a sweatin'!

What's the temp at sunny Wimbledon, btw.?

31-32 'C i think
edit: probably not any more as the day goes on

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Zverev has such massive shoulders, has he ever been a rower?

On that note don't blow it now, Arthur, you're much too close!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nerves.......

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good win.....

 

[Tricycle Rider]

YES, Rinderknech !

 

[Red Rick]

Zverectomy is complete. Grand Slams retain their Zvirginity once more. It is a beautiful time to be alive.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Djoko v. Müller now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Someone should tell Zverev that if you play a winner, you get a point for that.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Djoko v. Müller now

looks like Muller will be annihilated

 

[Tricycle Rider]

looks like Muller will be annihilated

Grandpa Djoko sure will not make it easy for him.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A bit more resilience from Muller in 2nd set.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

A lot more resilience from Muller, now it‘s tied although the Djoker won a lot more points

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yea this could get interesting.
Also Monfils is involved in another marathon which will leave him on a stretcher for 3 days afterwards most likely.
up 5-2 in 5th
edit: Monfis won. Great stuff for the fans.
