2021 Wimbledon - Men's Singles - Tournament thread

[stringertom]

PCB has never won a match here, he’s 0-5 at Wimby lol. Talk about bad luck drawing querrey first round though.

Actually 0-6 now. This is a real demerit on his resume, especially losses 4 and 5 to Popyrin in the teen’s Wimby debut and Radu Albot. I can see losing to Ferrer, Monfils and Raonic 1R when Busta was greener. Today is no shame either other than he looked resigned to losing very early; Sam Q. can Busta move at SW19 although I think he’ll celebrate in a more reserved way tonight inside the bubble:

Shapo thru to Round 3 via walkover

 

[longmacchiato]

Popyrin not a good look on court. Looks bored ****less, a bit too hang dog for my liking.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Jordan Thompson wins!

What a performance.

He takes out the 12th seed Casper Ruud in 4 sets.

Into his first Wimbledon 2R on his 5th attempt.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Biggest win of his career for Jordan Thompson knocks out #14 Casper Ruud.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

#3
#11
#12
#15
#19
#20
#24
#27
#28

Lot's of upsets already.

 

[longmacchiato]

What;s holding up the Kyrios match?

 

[gn]

Isner(2.08 m) lost to Nishioka(1.7 m). The height difference is 0.38 m. Is this the most David vs Goliath thing ever to happen in tennis?

 

[SonicNirvana]

Lion also out today

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Djokovic through in 3 sets against Anderson.

[longmacchiato]

Kyrgios has come out to play it seems
edit: damn so has Humbert

 

[fundrazer]

Fritz one set to the good. Let's go!

 

[Enceladus]

Nick hit great BH DTL winner and saved BP!

 

[stringertom]

St. Nick!!!!

what wizardry in match game with the backhand to save a BP and then to set up MP.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

And now grassbage also injured Tsonga. This is a circus.

 

[skip1969]

Dimitrov through 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 over Verdasco.

God, I remember a time when people actually cared . . .

 

[heftylefty]

Man,, Honestly John,,, losing to Yoshi....................... GET REAL...................... What is wrong with you ????????

Yet no calls for Isner to hang it up. Weird.

 

[stringertom]

Dimitrov through 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 over Verdasco.

God, I remember a time when people actually cared . . .

Too many absurdly evil Dimitrov haters on this forum. One of them accused me of autism for defending him against the dirtball’s shade throwing.

Maybe I got nostalgic since he was playing Verdasco.

 

[Nostradamus]

Yet no calls for Isner to hang it up. Weird.

Also what's with Lucas Poille ?? Once one of the best players in the world, loses in 1st round against the horn frog........................ and Lucas looked devastated after this match loss........ his marriage hasn't improved his game at all...

 

[SonicNirvana]

Monfils is also thru to Round 2

 

[SonicNirvana]

Ymer lost the first round of Qualies btw

Defeats Tsonga in R1

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

FAA misses an absolute sitter of a volley

 

[stringertom]

Ymer lost the first round of Qualies btw

Elder Ymer? Yeah, he was Ito-ed in qualies but younger Mikael outlasted Jo Ali today. Apparently Tsonga took a tumble late in the match?

 

[Nadal_King]

There are Joke Draws and then there is Djokovic Wimbledon 2021 draw, I mean A newbie Brit, A washed up Kandy, A journeyman Kudla or another Seppi and only God can tell which of the 4 he will meet in 4th rd, I mean this is seriously a Joke draw I bet even Djokovic couldn't have picked a draw by himself as good as this until the Rd 4 and even in qf,sf he will get just untested commodities at that level

 

[Nostradamus]

CONGRATS to TW's own Marcos Giron. who took out the up and coming talented player Russavvorri today. Grass isn't Russavoiri's best surface but still this is an excellent win.

 

[jesenk]

Shapo thru to Round 3 via walkover

I'm not surprised. Andujar was so deliriously exhausted after his win yesterday that he sobbed like a child on court and then put his jacket on upside down.

 

[SonicNirvana]

Elder Ymer? Yeah, he was Ito-ed in qualies but younger Mikael outlasted Jo Ali today. Apparently Tsonga took a tumble late in the match?

Oh…oops. I was wondering what he was still doing in qualifiers

 

[stringertom]

Oh…oops. I was wondering what he was still doing in qualifiers

No problem. Elias blazed the trail for kid bro Mikael and looked to be a climber but has regressed. Ironically, the two brothers were playing a Challenger match against each other when Mikael wrecked his hip a few years ago. That kept the Younger Ymer off the tour for nearly a year just as he was making a move up the charts.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Wow, Yoshihito Nishioka took out John Isner in the 1st round! It was a 5 set affair!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Denis Shapovalov got a walkover for his 1st rd over Pablo Andujar! Another shocker!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Chardy took out Karatsev in straight sets!

 

[James P]

Good to see Berrettini and FAA get through with relative ease, given their scheduling.

 

[fundrazer]

Fritz should have closed out Nakashima already...Going to have a chance to break for the match though. I'm sure he will trust himself in the breaker though.

 

[Nostradamus]

Steve Johnson USC trojan is beating Novak at the moment.

 

[fundrazer]

Yeah...for the life of me I did not know why Fritz was considered such an underdog. I didn't realize the knee surgery, but he has experience on this surface and Nakashima doesn't (despite the great run in qualifying)

 

[stringertom]

Steve Johnson USC trojan is beating Novak at the moment.

Let’s alert @sureshs . It’s a better plié than The Nagal mindset he gets into when The Bull and his Indian cousin are in the same draw.

 

[jhick]

Liam Broady giving Schwartzman all he can handle, winning the last 4 games and taking the first set 6-4. I like his game.

 

[swordtennis]

Tiafoe is up on Popsipil.
If he pulls this match out he seems to be in good form.
Do not like his wonky strokes but it will be good to see him make a deep run here.
Seems to be motivated and pumped up.

 

[flyingboris]

Anyone know what's up with Fognini? He was up 6-3 6-4, but now down 0-5 to Laslo in the third set.

 

[flyingboris]

OK who makes the usual thread: "NOVAK OUT OF WIMBLEDON!" Meanwhile Steve Johnson is through to the next round.

 

[James P]

First round is finally complete

 

[flyingboris]

Meanwhile Robomug breaks Otte to go up 3-2 in the first set.

Edit: oh, there's a match thread for that one.

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

CONGRATS to TW's own Marcos Giron. who took out the up and coming talented player Russavvorri today. Grass isn't Russavoiri's best surface but still this is an excellent win.

His name is of course Ruusuvuori ('rose mountain', directly translated).

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Querrey coming for Djokovic

 

[flyingboris]

What the heck is happening with hawkeye, I've already seen three instances where they weren't able to show the animation.

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

Same problems yesterday.

 

[flyingboris]

Same problems yesterday.

Yeah exactly. They've done this long enough that you'd think they'd have the kinks worked out!

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Tiafoe playing well. Bringing enough heat to melt Popsicle.
