CLOSE this thread.. NADAL Withdraws

 

[Gumby]

Kyrgios is 2-0 vs Joker. 1-2 vs Norrie.

 

[flyingboris]

Nooooo https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/07/sports/tennis/nadal-wimbledon.html

 

[SonicNirvana]

welp, we won't see the most watched match of all time

 

[flyingboris]

Edit: and shame on those choosing that option while the news is already out

 

[Jack the Hack]

I bet Fritz must be thrilled

Why does Nadal hate America so much?

He denied the US from having it's first men's Slam semifinalist in years and gave malcontent Kyrgios a pass to the final. If Fritz had a shot at Kyrgios, it's probably even money that he could have won. Nick will be insufferable if he gets the title.

 

[maxrenn]

Kyrgios is a disgraceful person but I'll be rooting for him strongly against the egg. Go Nick!

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Krygios d. Nadal 0-0, 0-0, 0-0

 

[socalmd123]

Wonder if Kyrgios wins the final he does his water bottle orgasm show for the royal box.

 

[Fed881981]

Prediction: Kyrgios in 0.

 

[kishnabe]

Would have preferred Kyrgios beat Nadal to get to the final.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak can start saying his speech right now. One slam closer to nadal.

 

[TennisFan436]

Ah yes, Rafa Nadal the famous CS GO player

They called it early. Guess I was right!!

 

[TennisFan436]

Kyrgios will have enough rest against Djokovic. Should be a fun match to watch.

 

[flyingboris]

Kyrgios will have enough rest against Djokovic.

Almost too much. How does a tennis player with what seems to be a severe case* of ADHD deal with so many days off!

[Sudacafan]

I was 19 minutes late to vote in the poll.

Kyrgios will have enough rest against Djokovic. Should be a fun match to watch.

Krygios hasn’t played on centre much. That will be a disadvantage to him.

 

[LeastExhaustingPlayer]

Nadal should have waited until the Djokovic v Norrie match ended, just in case Norrie wins.
Then he would have had a slight chance to still win W.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Props to all of you who doubted Rafa would play on Friday. Excellent call.

 

[Fed881981]

Would have preferred Kyrgios beat Nadal to get to the final.

Same here. Withdrawing is not how you want to see someone losing, but unfortunately it’s part of the game.

 

[acintya]

Wonder if Kyrgios wins the final he does his water bottle orgasm show for the royal box.

that would be the right thing to do

 

[acintya]

djokovic will end up with the most slams.we all know that.

im so sad for Nadal. but ok, at least there was less posibility for a Fritz final - Kyrgios is the second hottest option besides Nadal in final.

all other players (except Alcaraz and Shappovalov) are totally boring and have the same playstyle. djoko copies

 

[Mark-Touch]

Wonder if Kyrgios wins the final he does his water bottle orgasm show for the royal box.

That would be cool, especially if he could get his hands on a Russian water bottle!

 

[Mark-Touch]

I was 19 minutes late to vote in the poll.

I beat you!
I was 1.5 hrs late.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Props to all of you who doubted Rafa would play on Friday. Excellent call.

It's easy to see inside Rafa's stomach.

 

[Nostradamus]

MAn,,, oh Man,,,, This is what we are missing mmmm man

 

[Icsa]

Kyrgios will have enough rest against Djokovic. Should be a fun match to watch.

Unless he goes partying in a night club to celebrate reaching the final. It would be good if his dad was going to cook a dinner with melatonin.

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Where can I place my prop bet?

Will Nicky 1st serve on Sunday be:
- underarm
- an Edberg special straight at Joker's head

 

[Bud]

No

 

[Rina]

Thanks! It was expected, no?

 

[weakera]

The match that wasn't. Kyrgios advances but we are all losers in this outcome.

 

[veelium]

Worst wimbledon that I followed in detail. If that annoying ***** wins it, it would almost be fitting.

 

[-NN-]

Very unexpected, quite honestly.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

KYRGOAT KYRGOAT KYRGOAT

 

[sandiegoman]

It's going to be a circus act with Nick joking around hitting underarm serves and the Joker being himself. The joker might hit a ball into the crowd or a linesman. Definitely will be arguments too lol

 

[sandiegoman]

Will Nicky 1st serve on Sunday be:

- an Edberg special straight at Joker's head

Lol... he might do both and use the Edberg special as his second serve with a kick action lol

 

[Sudacafan]

This is the first canceled match thread I participate in.
As this match will not be played now, it has turned into a hypothetical match thread, just like many others in GPPD.

 

[bluetrain4]

Sucks Nadal is out. But don’t want to see him try with an ab tear.

 

[Fedinkum]

Nick, please win and and get convicted at the same time.

You wanted to troll the establishment, this is your chance!! Harry and Megan will be at YOUR Royal Box!! Lol

 

[icazares]

The 2 most despised players in the final. This is what I don't get about tennis... if there is a retirement before the draw is out, a lucky loser backfills. Why don't we use the same logic once the tournament begins. The lucky loser would be the highest seed to lose in the previous round, or the player with best set/game differential, get creative all you want.

 

[Hitman]

The greatest match that never happened....

no one gets a second chance in a tournament when you lose.

 

[Tennis_dude101]

Either way St Nick will get his perpetual Wimbledon club membership for making the final!

 

[robin7]

I'm glad that Rafa made a wise decision to withdraw ahead of the semifinal clash with Nick considering the severity of his injury as it'd be an uphill task of winning 2 best-of-five matches in a row against 2 dangerous players.
Rafa is 19-0 in GS this year and he can still extend the winning streak in New York.

 

[Ajosin]

What if Kyrgios withdraws because of shoulder injury next? Just wondering....

Then Norrie defeats Djokovic and...

Spoiler

 

[doodlyd]

Its kinda hilarious , first ever slam final and you get no points =)) poor Nik =)

 

[Nostradamus]

does anybody have REaction video of Kyrios on Nadal's withdrawals ??

 

[Ralph]

He made Nick wait repeatedly in Acapulco, holding up his hand constantly. But that was in 2019.

In 2020 at the AO, Nick said, “I’m ready to serve, how long are we going to wait? I’m ready to serve the ball.

“When he’s serving, he’s controlling the tempo. Why do I have to wait for my serve? Why am I waiting? Why?

“It’s too long between serves, it’s bull****. It’s ridiculous."

Thanks for this. I suspected it may have occurred.
