I have got socks older than this lady and she is out there winning grand slams, good on her she's fantastic.

Let's hope the usual suspects in the press and media leave her alone and not use her as a battleground.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He’s very very good at his job is Morgan. He is paid to wind people up, and he’s world class at it.

Professional c*nt and massive shithouse with it.

 

[MCFC1993]

Djokovic a set and a break down. Not moving very freely, he has played a lot of tennis in this tournament though.

I keep expecting him to kick into gear, not happening yet.


*Might make this thread more of a tennis thread, like the cricket one*

Well he came back from 2 down in the French...

 

[MCFC1993]

2 sets and a break down. It might be the best win of his career if he turns this around, I don't see him doing it though, too many errors, not enough winners.

 

[mccity]

These computerised line judges are uncanny

 

[N1985]

Did not expect this. All over in 20 mins at this rate

 

[mccity]

Djokovic looks like a player of a team that's 4-0 down to City after 20 minutes.

 

[1.618034]

I think reports of his demise were a tad premature.

Awww. He just wants to be loved!

 

[mccity]

Bit of a shitty crowd by the end. Great win either way.

 

[domalino]

Medvedev the first person to beat one of the big 3 since Wawrinka in 2016

 

[MCFC1993]

Medvedev was excellent, crowd were a disgrace when he was trying to serve for the match. They were the same with Raducanu as well.

Shame for Djokovic, the calendar grand slam is hard, he'll be the most decorated tennis player when all is said and done though.

Dont think there's anything more fickle than a tennis crowd.

Doesn't matter how homegrown or beloved you are, they will all turn on you for the chance to see a 4th or 5th set.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Medvedev has massive bollocks to do what he just did. Fair play.

I'd be happy if Federer, Nadal and Djokovic announced their retirement.
Level at 20 majors each.
All deserve to be at the top in the history books.
Would like to see them going out at the top and not struggling with injuries

Would only benefit Federer that scenario.

Djokovic could win another 5, Nadal may pick up another French.

I actuality re watched the Raducanu match rather than the men's final.
In saying that, Djokovic could absolutely pelt and bend physics with his balls....

Did we ever find out why the serves sounded like a 'let' every time? Mic echo?

True but I would hate to see them playing tournaments when they are on the decline.
Nadal and Djokovic should win the French and Australian respectively but I have seen a lot of boxers and footballers playing 1 match too many.
The Holmes Ali fight was so depressing and even Aguero last season playing on through injury.

A FIFA reference, haha...

Watched the whole tournament and only found out what it was yesterday; it's the server landing after hitting it.
