Even at 2 sets down I still was 80% confident Djok would win it. He's just a relentless machine. His more impressive win was in the Semi, beating Nadal at the FO is about as tough a challenge in the entire spectrum of Sport let alone tennis. Djok of course has now done that twice! That third set between the pair was another level of greatness.

 

Djok now moves onto 19 slams only 1 behind Fed & Rafa! Amazing to think by the end of this year he could move clear in the lead and I really think he will.

just read that Tsisipas grand mother passed away 5 minutes before the game started, so he was a bit unfocused thru the whole thing... for a second I thought Tsisipas could win, he was playing great during the 2nd set, but he dropped his level from set 3 on and then it was clear Djokovik would win...

At least in the first 2 sets Tsisipas played very well, unlike in the semis...

 

the semis with Nadal was the star of the tournament if not the season, I almost had a nervous breakdown like 20 times... by comparison, the other semi was painful to watch, both playing at their worst and just error after error after error.

 

the women ttrounement might be the most disappointing ever. All the big player falling earlier and the quarters, semis and final all being very very bad, terrible games with few few winner and crazy lots of errors, it was all about who did less errors but hardly any good moments...

 

 

Didn't know about that very sad Tsitsipas news :/ amazing resolve to get 2 sets up then

 

Agreed the Women's game is in a poor place atm. Didn't help that one of the best/most consistent players in Osaka pulled out.

Wimbledon's men's and women's finals will be played in front of full capacity crowds - the first UK outdoor sporting events to do so since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The tournament, starting on 28 June, will begin with 50% ground capacity.

 

That will then rise throughout the tournament before the two finals on the 15,000-capacity Centre Court.

Paire is like another Nick Kygios. The same ‘don’t give a shit’ attitude.

World number three Rafael Nadal has pulled out of this month's Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympic Games.

 

The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who won the Wimbledon titles in 2008 and 2010, says he needs to "recuperate after a long clay-court season".

 

"It's never an easy decision but after listening to my body and discussing it with my team I understand that it is the right decision," said the Spaniard.

 

"The goal is to prolong my career and continue to do what makes me happy."

 

The 35-year-old added: "That is to compete at the highest level and keep fighting for those professional and personal goals at the maximum level of competition."

That's a shame for him, no chance of him to move ahead of Roger with 21 grand slams. Though I highly doubt he'd be one of the faves anyway - hasn't won there since 2010.

Johanna Konta has withdrawn from next week's WTA tournament in Eastbourne to protect her troublesome right knee.

 

The British number one won her first ever grass-court tournament in Nottingham on Sunday.

 

Konta, 30, has suffered with knee problems in the past with her 2019 and 2020 campaigns affected by injuries.

 

However, the world number 30 does not believe it will affect her participation at Wimbledon, which begins on 28 June.

Naomi Osaka will not play at Wimbledon this year but is planning to return in time for the Tokyo Olympics.

Seems sensible, focus on home turf and hard courts which is what she's best at.

 

Wimbledon could be a bit unpredictable this year (outside of the grass experts cleaning up), as a year's gap on grass might have dulled many.

too bad Nadal and Osaka are skipping Wimbledon but understandable

 

Zverev, Federer and Medvedev all lost this week to low-ranked players, but hopefully it was just their adaptation to grass... otherwise Wimbledon is gonna be another easy win for Djokovic. I fear that the women's competition in Wimbledon is gonna be even more random and messy, been watching the Berlin tournament this week and all the higher seeds lost already playing very bad (Sabalenka, Pliskova, Svitolina).

Yeah the smart money is on Djok to absolutely sweep up but I remember some crazy stat about how insanely rare it is for anyone to win the FO & Wimbledon in the same year. Will be even harder this year especially as there's even less of a gap between the 2 comps than normal.

 

When Djok finally won the FO for the first time in 2016 he was absolutely untouchable, had the calendar grand slam but then lost early at Wimbledon. Not saying it'll happen this time but I really think this year could see just as many surprises on the men's side.

 

I managed to get tickets to Wimbledon yesterday so excited to finally go for the first time.
