[tex123]

Philosopher is out beaten by Eubanks. Eubanks is winning Wimbledon!

I think its safe to say Sinner will eliminate Djokovic this week, and pretty easily.
We're seeing the last of Djokovic.

Who do you remind me of?

 

[StrongRule]

He's serving well but have you seen his ground game? No power at all in his strokes.

As if that matters in this asterisk era. All he has to do is to show up. And you know it very well.

Then why are you here?

Nice to see you being as cheerful as ever SR.

[Yawn] Ya, a big battle awaits Djokovic in the quarters. A really big one. [/Yawn]

Like I said, serve speed isn't everything.

like I said its not the speed im talking about, precision variety, and overall effectiveness... they can be reflected on first serve won percentage

I think that's it .... 24 may never come.

The way I see it is, this time a year ago I would have been super happy with 23 ....

Problem is Nadal could still win another FO ....

hmm..

Well, well done Carlos Alcaraz - wimbledon champion.

damn the hand wringing after losing a set to an all time server

have more faith in Novak lol

Djokovic’s minefield draw begins here. Hurcakz has tailor made game for grass. Huge serve and very good at net. Just check their match 2 or 3 years back. It was extremely tight 3 setter with 2 tie breaks or so. Hurkacz can create a lot of problems . Novak can’t afford to lose mid-match focus against this kind of a player.

I still expect Novak to take this in 4 with 2 extremely tightly fought sets. Let’s see what happens. Real test begins now.

Should he overcome Hurkacz and Bublik, he should be battle hardened and ready to take Sinner. It’s a toss up going forward and anyone can take Novak out on their day. His draw is as much a minefield like Alcaraz’s is.

Except that the three players who can beat him are on the other side.

HH should work on his return. I know Novak served great, but HH should have at least put his racket on half of these aces and try more seriously to get into the return games.
He has such a wingspan to help him…

I'm not sure this says what you think it says.
