2022 Wimbledon SF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs Cameron Norrie [9]

[Sir Weed]

Goran just textet me that he ordered Nole to lose the first set.

Goran update: 2:1 sets => get 1st serve % above 65 without dropping avg speed (focus, step on opponent).

 

[ForehandCross]

6-1 6-2

 

[Lleytonstation]

Grass field in shambles but hard/clay are getting there. I'm a big time Alcaraz believer I think he's a surefire ATG.

Well tiny carlos better prove it at the uso.

Not sure the tour can have another WC type tourney and survive.

 

[Kralingen]

And you said Norrie would beat Novak. I'm assuming you will say now Kygrios would beat Novak.
You also said Slam race is over and congratulations Nadal.
You also said Novak will win no more slams.

Every single one of those predictions are about to be false.

Hey I’m rooting for Novak here, now that Rafa is out

and I maintain that I was right about the Nadal stuff but he just sadly got injured. I mean really, if he’s struggling with Norrie you think Rafa is going to be any easier?

One thing we all should know. Can never count out Novak Djokovic. Look at how many hurdles he’s overcome. He believes anything is possible. Mental giant!

 

[ScottleeSV]

I can't believe Norrie won a set. From only having seen the 3rd set it doesn't look even remotely a contest.

 

[ojo rojo]

The reaper has silenced the crowd

[Im(moral) Winner]

That's the year he got to the semis (USO match against Novak), and he was still older than what Norrie is now

And he managed to find the open court at Norrie's age

 

[bluetrain4]

Norrie has done more than I thought in winning a set, but one other competitive set would be nice. Seriously. Even just one break back here, or a fourth set that is 7-5 or 7-6, or even 6-4 where Norrie gets up a break and Djokovic has to come back. Something that makes the set "story" interesting and semi-competitive.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

"That's why you beat me Cameron ??"

 

[sliceroni]

Looks like I’m not missing much, Norrie to win 2-3 more games the rest of the way.

 

[Wilhelm]

God, this is boring. How did Norrie win the first?

 

[Cortana]

God, this is boring. How did Norrie win the first?

Djokovic played like he was 13.

 

[onyxrose81]

God, this is boring. How did Norrie win the first?

Djokovic being extremely awful.

 

[thanovic]

Did anyone really think lolrrie would actually have a realistic chance of winning?

Too much to ask. Expect bakery products.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Hopefully Djoko can serve it out here will no dramas

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Norrie is all hyped up down 2-5. LOL

 

[Winner]

One thing we all should know. Can never count out Novak Djokovic. Look at how many hurdles he’s overcome. He believes anything is possible. Mental giant!

I mean Nole is great and all, so there's no reason to hype this match. It's awful, and all Nole is doing is hit it back until Norrie hits it into the doubles alley or into the linejudges...

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

At this rate Djoker is gonna end up with more WImbledon titles than Nadal has French titles

 

[Zetty]

And he managed to find the open court at Norrie's age

At Norrie's age he was getting 1,3, and 3'd by Federer and retiring against Novak (USO the previous year). Why do people have this revisionist history about some players? Stan had to grow into what he was after he played these top guys in numerous beatdowns. Let's see Norrie play a few more matches against these guys if he can make it.

 

[jl809]

Norrie's elite 2nd set stats (when Djokovic still hadn't hit anything like his normal level):

1st serve percentage: 72%
1st serve points won: 62%
2nd serve points won: 38%

1st return points won: 11%
2nd return points won: 20%
Return points won: 13%

Winners: 7
Unforced errors: 14
Net points won: 42%

 

[Jokervich]

Man, this is why I bet on Rafa

Djokovic's level is nowhere near good enough and I think everyone can see that now

Norrie has every chance here

Really?

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Did anyone really think lolrrie would actually have a realistic chance of winning?

No

 

[bezs]

Djoko running away with it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Yeah I’m not talking about this match really. Just more over his career really.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Anyone recommend any good movies? I’ve got an hour back on my day now… this match is over.

 

[Terenigma]

So far the match is going EXACTLY as I predicted. I knew Norrie would nab a set from a slow Novak start and now he's completely outclassed. I will be surprised if Norrie even gets a single game in the 4th set.

 

[Kralingen]

Lmao, Djokovic has lost a grand total of 5 points on serve across the last two sets.

peak Ivanisevic numbers.

what it tells us?

 

[Federev]

"That's why you beat me Cameron ??"

Exactly!!!!

 

[antony]

I think Nick’s got this

 

[GabeT]

At this rate Djoker is gonna end up with more WImbledon titles than Nadal has French titles

A man can dream!

 

[Winner]

Imagine paying big bucks for this match.

 

[Federev]

I really think it’s possible Novak was bewildered by just how bad Norrie is.

Like. He didn’t know what to do with it and it overwhelmed him?

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Djoko yet to lose his serve since he put the hat on.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Lmao, Djokovic has lost a grand total of 5 points on serve across the last two sets.

peak Ivanisevic numbers.

what it tells us?

Didn't realize it was that bad lol

 

[Wrecker]

British No.1 has to be the most overhyped title ever.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko hopefully look to sense blood early in 4th with early break.

 

[Sudacafan]

Isn’t it like 28C right now? That’s not very hot

Brits melt at that temperature.

 

[Terry Tibbs]

when are these pathetic mugs gonna step up and beat Djokovic? All he does is play negative and get the ball back in play. He looks beatable. It bores me to tears watching Djokovic win Wimbledon every year. The sooner he retires the better.

None of the current mugs hang with Novak when he is into his serving gear and not totally spraying, as I was saying all week.

tell Fedal to stop him then?

 

[Sudacafan]

Coaches come and go. A physio keeps you fit forever!

If so, the physio I had in my 20’s did not do a great job.

 

[Marco Rotim]

It tells us that he is the GOAT.

 

[Enceladus]

what it tells us?

That he is coached by Ivanisevic.

 

[weakera]

Djoko hopefully look to sense blood early in 4th with early break.

You can norries mom might be the only people who don't already know the match is over

Hay que largar los alfajores!
