John Lambies Doos Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Didn't realise the Halle event was his first ever ATP tour event and he won it and earned a wildcard to wimbledon, so he's got a 100% win rate on the tourI thought Hurkacz won that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder what hecan do if he can stay fit, he's had 3 years of almost constant injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Van Rijtoven played well, but there was never any real danger that Djokovic wasn’t winning that. He looks in ominously good shape and I’d be fairly surprised if he doesn’t win it, again. Half the quarter final places are taken:Novak v Sinner Norrie v Goffin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s benefitted massively from Andy Murray’s health issues (I honestly believe Murray would have had 4-5 wimbledons by now if not for the hip problems) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Kyrgios loses a pretty tame first set. Nakashima hasn't done anything spectacular. It's almost as if Kyrgios needs to lose the plot over something to get his best of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Bit of an upset on court two there. 19th seed Alex De Minaur two sets up, cruising and has two match points in the third set. Loses them both, and Chilean Cristian Garin goes on to win it in five to reach his first ever grand slam quarter final. He will play the winner of Kyrgios and Nakashima, the Aussie currently 2-1 up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 When did Nadal suddenly become good on grass again? He’s gone from being a world beater 2007-2010, to failing to get past the fourth round 2012-2017 and routinely getting papped out by jobbers (lost to Lukas Rosol, lost to Steve Darcis, lost to Nick Kyrgios, lost to Dustin Brown, DNP, lost to Giles Muller) but he did make the SF on his last two appearances and doing well again this year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Rafa on easy street two sets up. Looking very like he will be playing 11th seed Taylor Fritz in the QF, who hasn’t dropped a set yet (and only 2 tiebreaks). Fritz will be a real test for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Who is the pundit commentating that’s not a native English speaker? Mrs B reckons it’s Federer but I don’t. Sounds Spanish to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It’s Feli Lopez.He's been an excellent addition to the comms team. Will anyone ever break his run of 79 consecutive grand slam main draw appearances? Oe even get close? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Similar to Djokovic last night, there was no danger of Nadal not winning that one. Both the goats in the quarters without getting out of third gear:Djokovic v SinnerNorrie v Goffin Kyrgios v GarinNadal v FritzI think the only players that can stop the Rafa/Novak final are Sinner and Kyrgios. Probably a year or two early for Jannik, but he’s definitely got the game and the serve to cause Djokovic problems and would say there’s a chance of an upset there.A Nadal v Kyrgios semi is what everyone wants, guaranteed drama and tantrums that could go either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a minimum I think it goes the distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
