On a scale of 10 to 10, 10 being stunning.

Enjoyed Andy's little run. Enjoyed Medvedev till he turned up as a nervous wreck on CC. Loved Hurkacz run.


As for Novak, there is a clear, marked decline in his abilities. He is no longer consistent set to set and within a set. It's his unreal Mental strength carrying him on. Think it won't be enough eventually.

Definitely the worst Slam of the year by a sizable margin. Fed playing couldn’t save it, sadly.

If Fed won it, I’d probably put it at a 6 which still isn’t that great.

In comparison, AO was like a 6 and RG a 7.5.

Since it's part of a potential narrative for the CYGS and Slam Race, 9/10.

The Anderson match was very good.

Subtracting a point since the final was not enjoyable.

I thought RG had more exciting matches. Nothing particularly noteworthy this year & the final was pretty underwhelming apart from a couple of points. Nearly full crowds was the biggest positive imo.

6/10 overall

It’ll be interesting for sure. He doesn’t WANT to trade heavy groundstrokes, that’s clear. What will happen if he HAS to? His serve, volleys and drop shot are peaking tho

A lot of people here thought that Berrettini would crush Djokovic 1,2,1 because of his powerful forehand and serving power. They did not know that Berrettini has never beaten Djokovic in their past two meetings. Djokovic has never got blown off the court by big hitters as opponents go! :-D o_O :eek: Djokovic did loose the 1st set in a tiebreaker, but I would not call that crushing Djokovic!

Worst Wimby I’ve watched since my first back 1997. I’m still glad it was played, especially since it was canceled last year. However, unless you’re a Joker fan you could have skipped it entirely and missed nothing. Not a single memorable match.

The main issue is that the grass field is by far the weakest it’s ever been. Combine that with the fact that the level of competition overall is late 90’s bad and you get a recipe for meh.

The only saving graces for me were Sir Andeh playing his first Wimby since 2017 and the Bery/tennis_pro memes.
