This is why draws are so important. Sinner just lost because of his super tough draw. No way he was winning Wimbledon with that draw.
Sinner, Alcaraz and Medvedev in the same half? SERIOUSLY?
Novak meanwhile has a powder puff draw. There's no way he's not willing Wimbledon with that draw.
Novak will likely get a very exhausted finalist (Med/Alcaraz) who will have battle through multiple adversities and would have nothing left.
Further addendum to my post.
Djokovic does NOT even have to play the QF now.
Even in his SF, he would have to play a player who is significantly lower ranked and less skilled. Also that player would have spend 2x as much time on court than Djokovic.
Meanwhile the other half is stacked. And Sinner, world #1, is already a victim of a bruta draw leading to Injury and loss. Next up you would have Medvedev and Alcaraz who always have played a lot of long matches and might be going 5 hours on Friday.
All of this is not to blame Djokovic. It's not his fault at all. It's the rules in Tennis that are at fault. The #1 and #3 should never be on the same side of the draw. Otherwise what is the point of being #1? We also need to have a better system once players withdraw due to injury. Something needs to be done to make the draws more equalized.
Given everything, it would need a miracle for Novak not to win Wimbledon. Absolutely amazing given that until the draw, we were not even sure that he was going to play. Has this ever happened before?
