Wimbledon 2023 | Alcaraz beats Djokovic in the final

[jimharri]

Can the world number 1 be an underdog against the number 2?


(Pay Cash said he couldn’t find a single ex-pro or current pro who was picking Alcaraz to win, so the answer is obviously yes, but it’s worth remembering Alcaraz is no. 1 for a reason)

Good point. But has Alcaraz ever produced to this level on grass? Djokovic is a monster on this surface, and I would have thought that most of the money would have been on him to prevail.




With hindsight, "outsider" might have been a better word than underdog.

 

[bluealf]

Agreed. He never gives up. But the momentum is with Alcaraz now. Is this the year of the underdog; Vondrousova yesterday, Alcaraz (possibly) today? And, of course, plucky, lickle ol' Citeh.

Not heard the top seed and world number one referred to as the underdog before :P

First time I’ve seen him look old.

Already been addressed.

He does look a bit spent.
I'd almost forgotten why I'd disliked Djokovich until I watched this match.

 

[cookster]

Big hold.

[jimharri]

Big hold.

No no no; I'm saying nothing.

I'm not sure you could call him a conspiracy theorist

I don't think there's anything wrong with a man who is a great sportsman and has to take care of his body being a cautious of a vaccine that hadn't even gone through a vigorous testing over a long period of time vacciness is supposed to.

I don't think you have to be a conspiracy theorist to understand that it was a rushed vaccine. You only have to go back in history to see how many vaccines have turned out to be problematic and weren't really realized until the future but at the time they were seen to be perfectly fine.

Which is all fine, if you don’t want to take a mandated vaccine like everyone else you’re competing against, then you accept the rules even if you don’t agree with them and you sit out tournaments to keep to your beliefs.

You don’t forge a note to try and circumvent the rules and then go to court when caught to try and enforce special treatment.

The guys a **** who thinks he deserves to be treated better than the rest of us.
