2022 Wimbledon Final :- Novak Djokovic (1) [SRB] v/s Nicholas Kyrgios [AUS]

[Rafa4LifeEver]

The 3rd ever meeting between the two.
Interestingly, first in over 5 years & 3 months (since 2017 Indian wells 4R)
Nick won both previous ones in Mexico & California.

Probably not the matchup everyone expected at the beginning of the tournament, but it's here nevertheless.
Djokovic is on a 27 match winning streak at Wimbledon, starting back in 2018. He is a 3 times defending champion here
Nick on the other hand has made the deepest ever run at a major, and its perhaps his first & last slam final.

How do you see the match progressing?

Talk about self shooting

 

[ADuck]

Both players simultaneously defaulted resulting in a no contest

 

[TennisCJC]

I hope Nick takes him out. Djoko is a loser.

Djokovic wins easily but the title will have the biggest asterisk ever.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic in 4 if he starts slow again! If he comes out well then 3 buys going in 4! Nick gets first and then djoker gets next 3!

 

[Marco Rotim]

6 Time Wimbledon Champion vs Self Proclaimed Best Grass Courter

This will be like Rocky 5 ? @Hitman @MichaelNadal

 

[-NN-]

So Novak now has a big chance to tie Sampras' tally of Wimbly titles.

This is his 32nd Major final, so he's surpassed Federer there (31) for most all-time.


Pretty good player TBH.

You did alright. There are 4 other threads in the correct section

 

[BorgTheGOAT]

Nick may win a set as his serve is a weapon and Djokovic lately has the tendency to carelessly drop sets against subpar competition. He will easily win in 4 though.

 

[RS]

I think Djokovic in 4/5.

 

[Start da Game]

the match is mostly on nick's racket....he needs to play with conviction and clarity to have a chance....he's definitely got the game but no idea what version of him shows up on sunday.....

 

[DSH]

Kyrgios in 4 sets; Joker is beatable.

Yeah but the hardwork of 180 seconds to be hammered by mods.
Sad times.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Novak never getting out of 1st gear. Kyrgios will be spraying errors all over the damn place

Bigger than the best performing AO player ever being banned from AO?

 

[bluetrain4]

Kyrgios has the perfect temperament/mental profile to make something of this match AND the perfect temperament/mental profile to get blown out. Margins between the two are thin.

 

[mistik]

Another idiotic inexperienced guy ( slam final experience NONE )versus Djoker .It will be either straight sets for Djoker or Nick will start hot then blew it up.I can’t see Nick as a slam winner.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Kyrgios will win 1 set just off some big serves and random, pulling out of his arse winners combined with Djoker adapting . Hes not getting more than 1 though

 

[spottishwood]

The outcome of this match is a function of Djokovic's form. If it's normalovic or peakovic, he obviously wins. Get's straight setted if Drunkovic or Giftovic shows up.

 

[Borissimo]

Bigger than the best performing AO player ever being banned from AO?

Definitely. 4 of top 11 players either banned or not able to play.

 

[phl92]

I hope Wimbledon is very happy with their final they have created ))! Would have been a disaster to see a evil bad person as Medvedev in a final, right? Hah Kyrgios you got!! Hope the Queen enjoys the good manners of down under as well

 

[Tennfan123]

Nk in five (voted Nd in three).

 

[Antonio Puente]

At TTW, we're about to have a heart warming moment - Nadal and Fed fans coming together as one to support the honorable good samaratin, Nick Kyrgios, in his quest for a first grand slam title.

Djokovic will win easily. Kyrgios is not interested as he all but admitted in his presser today. His final was Nadal. Wanted a third fight.
Crowd will boo him and he will go down quietly and we wont hear much from him again. His heart isnt really in tennis. He has an obsession with nadal it seems. Only player that really seems to fire him up.

No dont think so. After seeimg the Kytgios press cpnference he is just so mentally weak and unprofessional i cannot support him. Djokovic has dedicated his life to tennis. I hope he wins.

So, all Rafa fans did prior to the draw was calling for Kyrgios to be in Djokovic section....and now we see these types of posts.

Both Wimbledon and AO have devalued their own stock greatly by refusing top players for political reasons. Banning the number 1 player, defending champ of the AO, and top performer at the AO, does really diminish the AO more though.

But both organizers should understand you can't claim to be "the championship" unless you allow the best to participate. Likewise you can't say it is an "open" and then close it off to people that have different political views. The titles are false and everyone knows it.

Wimbledon banned two very top end players and then that mistake was amplified with other players had to withdraw due to covid. But I think players deciding on their own they won't play due to health reasons is not a grounds for an asterisks. But I think it should have an asterisks because the Russians were not allowed even though they offered to not take any money so their would be no violations of sanctions.

Novak spoke out against the political ban (I think Nick did too) and so it is fitting that they are in the final.

 

[xFedal]

Nicohlas gna win.

 

[mistik]

It would been much better if Fritz in the final.No side to choose really in this final.It would be clown show.

Kyrgios is getting 50% of Nadal fans on his side. For the rest, he is more obnoxious than other finalist.

Such a weak trolling era!

Without doubt, this has been the easiest/weakest Wimbledon in decades. So many players missing.

On the other hand, the Australian open was missing just one or two prominent players, which is normal as one or two players always end up missing a slam, due to injury or whatever else.

But the worlds number 1 wasn’t injured. He was banned based on his personal beliefs.
You can put 20 mugs in Wimbledon, it doesn’t replace Novak from AO.
Med had no real chance, Rublev not even a glimmer of hope.

 

[LawnTennisGod]

Djokovic will win this easily. Nick will get hammered. He won't be able to handle the occasion and his game will be full of UEs. Him not being fired up for a match usually equals disaster for him.

 

[Kralingen]

Lol.

He’s actually not wrong, if Novak shows up with that tentative feel out game then Kyrgios will take advantage. He can come to the net and hit aggressive shots, and he has real power when allowed to take the front foot in rallies. Djok has been playing with fire at times and Nick is definitely capable of punishing it. All it takes is one break.

By contrast if Djokovic is the aggressor, looking to dictate and move Nick around in rallies, there will only be one winner. Will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out, especially on the Djokovic and Kyrgios second serve.

He was banned because he refused to take a vaccine which was a prerequisite. It's like defaulting..

Doesn't matter whether a player is absent through injury or ban or default, the negative effect is EQUAL on the 'strength of the field'.

Just because he was banned, it had no additional effect on weakening the field than if he had been injured.

So still just one or two players missing from Australian open V/S several players missing from Wimbledon. Its a no brainer.

But what is your argument, that Kyrgios can win ? Because that's different from saying the match is on his racquet.

 

[T007]

If kyrgios brings his best focused game..he will win in 4 or 5 against current version of djoker Or else djoker will win irrespective of any sets

 

[Cashman]

If Klaus wins, I will laugh so hard

 

[dapchai]

Agreed. The match is on Nick's racquet. If he wins three sets he will win the match, otherwise he won't.

 

[LawnTennisGod]

You guys know deep down that Nick is going to choke hard.. he is not mentally ready for this.

 

[chjtennis]

6-7 7-6 7-6 7-5 Kyrgios

 

[vex]

If Djoker is dumb enough to do stall tactics and unleash NK’s volatile side then I see 3 sets going to tiebreaks. Kyrgios wins 2 of those tiebreak sets. Djoker wins in 5.

If Djoker is smart and stays super chill, NK will be subdued by the stage and his new Djokovic bromance. Djoker in 3-4 if that happens.

 

[yokied]

Both players will be thinking they’re gonna make a statement with their tennis in this match. It’s hard to believe that Nick’s statement will actually be his tennis though.

Nick may have this and he may have that but he doesn’t have the mind. Guys who display his level of clownery for such a long time rarely come good, ever. I’m still amazed that the flesh-wounded one-legged bullet-ridden rusted rodent didn’t send him packing in the SF on general principle.

Many possibilities, and the crowd will be very pro-Nick, but I can’t see Nick winning this. Novak, probably in 4.

 

[platypus50]

Novak Djokovic in 4 sets - I think he will have a brainfart or will just play sloppy for 1 set.
