Sinner can't give DFS early on in the 5th, that's for sure
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 15:44 (one year ago) link
Think sinner has a chance if he goes for broke on his fh.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
sinner throwing it away in this game imo

he just hasn't been as good hitting the ball on the move, which is a problem here

his drop shots keep hitting the net, not great bob
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 5 July 2022 15:55 (one year ago) link
And a drop shot for the loss of serve.

joker just too good. he gets to everything.

oooof

Depressing. I figured at 0-2, he fades and loses in three or wins in five. No other result seemed likely.
Goffin only won something like six games off him in their QF a few years back; Norrie I can't see making an impact either. So that's another Sunday ruined. :)

Kyrgios to 'save' us all.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link
yeah looking good for norrie here but he has no chance vs djoko in the semi
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 18:16 (one year ago) link
norries path to reach a semi has to be one of the softest in awhile but good on him, still a huge accomplishment
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 18:21 (one year ago) link
Looks like Nadal is done?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 16:26 (one year ago) link
Or not. He's kicking his serve in, not following through on bh, but his slice is causing Fritz all kinds of trouble - up a break in the 4th.
Kyrgios through in three.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 16:43 (one year ago) link
Yup, could be going to a 5th
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 17:07 (one year ago) link
Nadal 3-0 at the tb decider. Inevitably.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 18:21 (one year ago) link
poor fritz, he played fantastically well
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 6 July 2022 18:32 (one year ago) link
I take huge pleasure in watching Rafa grind these wins out (now, maybe not 5+ years ago). Novak - not remotely.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 18:34 (one year ago) link
<3 rafa, hes so tough
not dissimilar to novak suffering an ab injury midmatch vs fritz @ 21 AO & still winning in 5
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 6 July 2022 19:10 (one year ago) link
Well done to Jabeur!

Rybakina making Halep struggle with the power of her shot making.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:20 (one year ago) link
Won the first.
At the 2nd and the rallies are coming in. Both playing well.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:35 (one year ago) link
3 DFs from Halep, who played some great stuff but unfortunately the power from Rybakina is putting a lot of pressure on Halep.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:40 (one year ago) link
3 break back points for Halep
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:49 (one year ago) link
Broken, Rybakina goes off the boil.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:50 (one year ago) link
2 DFS from Halep to hand it again!! :-(
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:54 (one year ago) link
No easy gimmes this time. Two aces.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 15:57 (one year ago) link
The difference in this is the serving.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 16:04 (one year ago) link
Another df for deuce..
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 16:07 (one year ago) link
Awesome return for the match!!
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 16:08 (one year ago) link
Great rallies, really could've done with another hour of this.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 16:09 (one year ago) link
Lol @ a Russian born player in the final.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 July 2022 16:10 (one year ago) link
Rafa press conference about to start. I think Nick K has a bye into the final...
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 7 July 2022 18:20 (one year ago) link
My god:
“I have a tear in the abdominal, the muscle,” Nadal said. “I was thinking about the whole day about the decision. But it doesn’t make sense to keep going. If I keep going the injury will get worse and worse. I feel very sad to say that.”

Norrie serving for the first set, Djokovic looking rattled.
― Sudden Birdnet Thus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 8 July 2022 14:49 (one year ago) link
How has Norrie won this first set lol

Rami Malek in the crowd, still looking very much like a super villain

Women's singles: Both holding to 30 in their first games so far
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:15 (one year ago) link
First break Jabeur. Returns and game are consistent, lots of slicing and the unforced errors are coming!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:19 (one year ago) link
Jabeur pulls it long on a BP. Rybakina eventually holds but atm it's all Jabeur. She has wonderful variety and is making Rybakina look one dimensional.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:30 (one year ago) link
Breaks Rybakina for the set.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:44 (one year ago) link
At the next Rybakina has a break with a great winner
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:45 (one year ago) link
Oh dear, Rybakina should've challenged that for 2-0. Instead she faces a break back
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:51 (one year ago) link
Gets through it with some big serves!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 13:52 (one year ago) link
This 4th game is an epic. Both playing great
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 14:06 (one year ago) link
Jabeur should've called that. We'd still be in it!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 14:10 (one year ago) link
And is broken, beating herself here Jabeur.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 14:11 (one year ago) link
Onto a decider we go!!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 July 2022 14:20 (one year ago) link
2 bps Rybakina
