2022 Wimbledon Quarter Final :- Nicholas Kyrgios [AUS] v/s Cristin Garin [CHI]

[Rafa4LifeEver]

3rd ever slam quarter final for Nick, with the first one being at Wimbledon itself 8 years ago in 2014.
1st ever slam quarter final for Garin, that too ironically on grass (he is a clay court specialist)

Both have survived a tough 5 setter in the round before.
Nick won 4-6 6-6 7-6 3-6 6-2 vs Brandon Nakashima of "USA", in a match similar to a pendulum swinging to & fro.

Garin came back from the brink to defeat Nick's countryman Alex De Minaur in 5 sets 2-6 5-7 7-6 6-4 7-6 in an absolute nailbiter

Who wins this clash? How?

2nd ever slam quarter final for Nick,

3rd

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

3rd

Thanks for correction, mate.

 

[Tennfan123]

Garin in five. Going to be scenes. But Garin is not going to be bothered by NK on green clay.

 

[Third Serve]

As much as I dislike Nick, Cristian Garin should be nowhere near a Wimbledon semifinal.

Garin in five. Going to be scenes. But Garin is not going to be bothered by NK on green clay.

His fitness is definitely better than Nick's.

AO 2015

Correcter already, sir.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

As much as I dislike Nick, Cristian Garin should be nowhere near a Wimbledon semifinal.

Absolutely. I agree.

 

[Nostradamus]

Absolutely. I agree.

Can you guys Seriously see Nick trying and giving 100 % against Garin ?? if the match starts his way, he will probably try but then if he loses the 1st set and Garin gets on top of him,,, he will probably just Tank again

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Does not sound likely, given the fact that he has won 3 of his 4 matches after losing the first set here.

 

[Nostradamus]

What's Garins's record like on Grass anyway ?? Most unlikely clay court player showing up to the Quarterfinal ... ? very surprising. and was Demanauer injured or something after the 2nd set ?? he has no business losing this match

 

[BeatlesFan]

Nick in straights, possibly 4 if he starts clowning.

How likely is a Rafa Nick semi?

 

[weakera]

Walkover for Nick

 

[TennisFan3]

Nick in straights. Garin is a mug on grass who should not be in a QF.
This is a gift for Kygrios. Easiest QF ever.

He's in the QF because he earned it.

 

[TennisFan3]

He's in the QF because he earned it.

Yeah. But the QF is easiest.
Novak got Sinner.
Nadal got Fritz.
But Kygrios got freaking Garin who is a MUG.

 

[Tennfan123]

His fitness is definitely better than Nick's.

And he can grind and keep his head down.

 

[kishnabe]

This should be a straight forward win for Nick, but you just never know.

 

[ChaelAZ]

I mean, to this point Nick has mentioned he is focused and not doing things as usual, which to me means he isn't drinking or playing COD all night. That said, he is at that $300+ million dollar mark just to show up for the Q4 match and play a bit. And may have had enough sitting things out and need some twitter pics or living big, so....

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

God forbid if Garin wins this one.

Nick in 4 sets as he's bound to clown a set.

 

[zuluzazu]

How is Nick’s shoulder?

 

[topspin_forehand]

Let’s go NK

 

[stringertom]

How is Nick’s shoulder?

Painful but not performance inhibiting. After the rubdown and approved NSAID he was hitting big serves. He should be up for a chance to meet his bestie in the SFs. The pain didn’t inhibit his humor: his on-court interview included a promise he would definitely be having a glass of wine tonight.

 

[stringertom]

Quick Nick may or may not lose a set but he won’t be losing two or more.

 

[robin7]

Expecting a retirement.

 

[Tennis_dude101]

This is on St Nick's racquet

 

[netlets]

His fitness is definitely better than Nick's.

Disagree- his match was way more physical today and his points much longer. He will have very little left against Nick.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Depends on the shoulder. If it’s OK, Kyrgios in straight sets. If it’s not, who knows? Kyrgios could retire.

 

[Wynter]

Expecting a Beatdown like R2

 

[McGradey]

Nick evaded the banana skin in the previous round when he wasn't playing well, which is unlike him. I have a feeling he slips up on this one as he will be heavily favoured. Voted Garin in 4.

Would not be surprised to see Nasty Nick come out and serve him off the court in about 75 minutes flat.

 

[Deleted member 791948]

Garin-De Minaur was a significantly higher standard than Kyrgios-Nakashima
Hope Kyrgios wins this, Garin will make Nadal run more....

 

[mightyjeditribble]

This seems exactly like the kind of match where Kyrgios throws in a stinker and loses. So who knows?

 

[DariaGT]

As much as I dislike Nick, Cristian Garin should be nowhere near a Wimbledon semifinal.

Green Clay is now Garin's fave color of clay as he has great improvisation with his simple mechanical strokes, no surprise really.

Wimby 2nd week is as slow or equal to Rome Masters, were 2008 peak Fed lost to Stepanek using 80-90% S&V
If RG had Rome Master conditions, 1984 level Macca would have devoured Lentils and be an RG.

 

[BGod]

I have faith at this stage Kyrgios comes through. Getting very Dimitrov AO 17 vibes. Coincidentally losing to Nadal in 5 sets in Semis is also on the possible cards.

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Given today's revelations, I predict Saint Nick will have a melt down.

 

[Federev]

Can you guys Seriously see Nick trying and giving 100 % against Garin ?? if the match starts his way, he will probably try but then if he loses the 1st set and Garin gets on top of him,,, he will probably just Tank again

I hope so

 

[Federev]

How likely is a Rafa Nick semi?

 

[TheNachoMan]

Garin can’t be a Wimbledon semi finalist. That would be tragic.

 

[flyingboris]

Garin can’t be a Wimbledon semi finalist. That would be tragic.

Although I regularly post in the "How's Garin Farin" thread, I actually agree! I very much hope that Nick takes this. And I fully expect him to, unless he manages to get himself disqualified.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Rooting for Garin. It would be nice to avoid the clown show in the semis. Usually Nick behaves with players who he doesn't resent so I think he will behave today but he won't in the semis if he wins today. Best wishes to Christian Garin!

 

[Krish872007]

Garin in 5

 

[Slicehand]

Congratulations garin for his first grand slam title

 

[Tennis_dude101]

Time for the last Aussie standing in the singles to do his stuff. Go Nick!

 

[snr]

Maybe a silly question but why are the two matches on at the same time?? Certainly Wimbledon (and everyone..) makes more money by staggering the matches?

It’s pretty annoying tbf. Kinda mad they didn’t start earlier with the women’s match

 

[Giorgilli]

Godly game from Garin holy **** lmao

 

[Third Serve]

welp
