2021 Wimbledon - Men's Singles - Tournament thread

[skip1969]

4-3 Berrettini.

I need this match to finish in an hour. There's a football match I cannot miss.

Federer lost in straight sets and was bageled!! I'm not highly upset, because Federer getting bageled at Wimbledon is SURELY a sign that a true change in men's tennis is underway.

 

[stringertom]

Where did HH beat him?

not on grass. Miami’19.

 

[skip1969]

Amazingly trivial or amazingly accurate precursor of events to happen?: the last bagel baked by Hobie Cat Hurkacz was in his first match along the way to his very first ATP title at Winston-Salem’19.

Fed really went out with a whimper there. But Hubert kept his focus, and that was mighty impressive.

Lets hope you're right. The true litmus test will be someone other than Novak lifting the trophy. I'm praying for that.

I give up

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Pressure on Felix to hold now.

 

[skip1969]

5-4 on serve.

Fat chance! Novak smells the glory let’s be honest here.

What....no thread for Berry vs FAA?

Ain’t happening.

Who ya got, England or Denmark?

Yo, don't kill my buzz.

 

[Gazelle]

Who are trivia freaks to know this answer:

Berry is 20-2 in grass matches since 2019. Who are the pair to beat him?

Gofferer.

I'm a Fed fan and Belgian, so I know.

[stringertom]

I give up

First one (happened second) was easy…fedr at Wimby’19 lost maybe 5 games. The other guy backed out of Wimby’21 with a bad ankle injury.

 

[stringertom]

There will be a lot of engry fans if it doesn’t happen.

 

[skip1969]

There will be a lot of engry fans if it doesn’t happen.

No doubt. Engry . . . but not unaccustomed to disappointment.

 

[stringertom]

How do you net that FH, Felix?

 

[duaneeo]

Definitely, but Federer had never been bageled at Wimbledon. This impossibility happening means another impossibility will happen: Nole will lose to a young gun at Wimbledon.

6-5 Berrettini. It's very touch-and-go, this match.

I'm just ready for a change. Beyond ready.

 

[stringertom]

No doubt. Engry . . . but not unaccustomed to disappointment.

Somehow, Denmark has made it this far without their striker and they seem inspired fighting through that scary adversity heaped on them in their very first game. I think they have a chance tonight but absolutely no chance vs Forza Azzurri. England vs Italy would be a cracker though!

 

[stringertom]

Double set point!

 

[Russeljones]

Only the most hardcore of fans will stay on now.

 

[Hitman]

Mateo super clutch!!!

 

[Terenigma]

Berrettini breaks and takes the third set! Lets GO!

It was that point he won for 15-40 that really sealed the deal there, fantastic shot to earn the BP chances and that approach for SP forced FAA into the error. Excellent!

 

[Russeljones]

These balls might appeal to the Hague Tribunal for what Berrettini is doing to them.

 

[Larry Duff]

2-1 Italy

 

[SonicNirvana]

cmon Matteoooo

 

[stringertom]

See! All I had to do was bring up Forza Azzurri and Matteo raises it up a notch!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Berry Berry Goat

 

[skip1969]

That break came out of nowhere. The next few minutes may be key.

 

[Russeljones]

11.07.2021 - Italy day; say it with me!

 

[Kralingen]

Damn, I wanted to see Felix in the SF. Not a fan of Berrettini at all for some reason.

 

[Slice'n'dice]

Not even a match thread for this one, the disrespect on display is clear.....

Hard to root against Denmark after all they've had to go through. Cinderella story. In truth, nobody has looked invincible, which is perhaps why I am as hopeful as I am for today's match.

 

[Hitman]

FAA has played well here, but Berrettini has impressed me here, he really likes grass....

 

[skip1969]

Maybe he wants to get to his hotel room to watch some TV?

Lack of calves perhaps?

Funny how poasters fight to be the first to get a match thread up seconds after a result (or even before a result) . . . but then they completely ignore others.

 

[abmk]

Berretini up 2 sets to 1. Holds in the first game of the 4th set.

 

[stringertom]

Quite the streak. He still has lost only once before QFs since winning his first title.

 

[Terenigma]

FAA starting to crack, a break here could be huge. 0-30

 

[skip1969]

Lack of calves perhaps?

That's my reason. LOL

There's something else, too. Some intangible I can't put my finger on. But if I say that he doesn't particularly impress me, everyone says I'm nuts.

 

[stringertom]

Maybe he wants to get to his hotel room to watch some TV?

I would not watch telly at all with Ajla available.

 

[Larry Duff]

Fed's conference is painful these media wouldn't last 5 minutes in this site.

 

[Hitman]

Mateo isn't going to help him the way Kyrgios and Zverev did.

 

[skip1969]

Amazing, really.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Berra looking the favourite now. I expect him to win in 4 here

 

[Kralingen]

He never met a fist pump he didn’t like lol.
