Holy crap, Sinner has a mountain to climb to win the title. Djoko's first three rounds are a joke.

Djokovic seems to have a very tough draw imo. True a big server in the opening week can be tricky and he avoided that, but Rune-Hurkacz R4-QF is about as tough as he could have gotten in those rounds unless I'm forgetting someone? It looks like his toughest Wimbledon draw since 2018 to me.

 

[weakera]

Ah I wasn't paying attention I see how he missed having Sinner and Alcaraz b2b. I guess that kind of balances it and makes it a moderate draw. Obviously none of his potential semi final opponents will make it that far so it will be interesting to see who actually makes it there.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Why is Murray playing?

Sinner’s draw is so rough lol

Think Alcaraz and Djokovic should be shoe-ins for the final, I will be tuning in eagerly to see how Hurkacz manages to choke this year

Also with the grass field how it is, there’s always one hilariously mug quarter these days and that Tsitsi-Rublev one is it. I honestly think Draper could knock out Abuserev in week 1 and go on a bit of a run as he’s in there too

 

[Forgive Me Father]

These motherfuckers again put Sinner and Alcaraz in the same half... absolute bloody idiots.

Have no idea how to charge in the new era and make millions of this galvanizing match-ups/rivalry.

 

[Drighiz]

Oh my this looks difficult for Sinner. So much for being #1! And how did Alcaraz end up on his side again?! At FO #2 and #3 were on the same side, now it's #1 and #3!

Cry more

On every thread cry


This devalues people

 

[Nappa]

Djoko comfy grass slide to #25

 

[ey039524]

Would be a shame if Djokovic loses early bc of his knee and we're left w sinner vs. Alcaraz on one side and nobody on the other.

 

[tennisfan223]

Rune has a tough draw no one is talking about here. I still predict him to win the final in Wimbledon.
Idk why Djoker deserves Hurkacz in the QF. hurkacz is actually underrated on grass, shown by how he dismantled Zverev recently in straights. He could beat djok if djok doesn't bring his best form.

Agree, he almost beat him last year when he was in top form (I'm not talking about peak form, which ended in 2016 for me, I'm talking about slam-winning form, which he lacks since he won ATP finals last year). His service is S+ tier, especially on grass.

[BigThreeForever]

Common with the Djokodal rivalry, a lot of times they met in the semifinals.

 

[Better_Call_Raul]

Holy crap, Sinner has a mountain to climb to win the title. Djoko's first three rounds are a joke.

Sinner has an absolute CAKEWALK to the Semi-Finals.

 

[Humble Crumble]

Sinner has an absolute CAKEWALK to the Semi-Finals.

Yeah, in my opinion, and given Sinner’s current form, his first 5 opponents will be lucky to take a set off him.

 

[Rozroz]

the stress on the knee will be too much for Novak to go
more than 3-4 matches.

 

[Better_Call_Raul]

Sinner and Raz should be seeded #1 and #2.
Obvious to everyone on the planet except the dunderheads running Wimbledon..

 

[Humble Crumble]

Agreed.

The placement of seeds #3 and #4 is a random draw based on the ITF rules for Grand Slams:

https://www.itftennis.com/media/5986/grand-slam-rule-book-2024-f3.pdf

See pages 27 and 28 for the "Procedure for Placing Seeds." This is not a decision made by the tournament officials - it's total luck.

 

[Jack the Hack]

Sinner and Raz should be seeded #1 and #2.

Agreed.

The seeds are based on the official rankings 7 days prior to the tournament.

See the ITF rule book for Grand Slams at https://www.itftennis.com/media/5986/grand-slam-rule-book-2024-f3.pdf.

The seeding procedure is on page 26.

"i. Seeds Required ii. All Grand Slam Tournaments will have a seeded draw. There shall be only one seeding list. iii. Selection of Seeds The ranking list dated approximately seven (7) days prior to the tournament shall be the basis for such selection."

This is the same reason why Rafael Nadal couldn't get a special seeding at Roland Garros this year, despite being a 14-time champion. I couldn't believe how many professional pundits (like McEnroe and Wertheim) were whining about this when the rules have been this way for almost 2 decades.

Yes, yes, so we are told, ad nauseum.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Why is Rune suddenly a tough opponent? You've knocked yourself out over the past 2 years calling him a pathetic mug. Now he's transformed into Fed/Sampras/Becker on grass?

 

[Tano]

Would be a shame if Djokovic loses early bc of his knee and we're left w sinner vs. Alcaraz on one side and nobody on the other.

Hurkacz will have a great chance to reach the Wimbledon final.

 

[Shaolin]

Brutal draw for Sinner.

Karma for all of his annoying fans on here.

 

[The Guru]

Djokovic has to save tennis and make the final or else we'll probably get a total mug

There needs to be a dynamic rankings system. Can anyone on the planet say that Sinner and Alcaraz are not the top two players based on results of first half of 2024? Of course not... The results of 2024. The results of 2023 should be irrelevant.

 

[Humble Crumble]

I love you too.

Blame Tiny for losing in straight sets against Draper in Queens and losing no.2 seed.

 

[tudwell]

Blame Tiny for losing in straight sets against Draper in Queens and losing no.2 seed.

Yep. Entirely in his control. And not just Queens – if he'd had slightly better performances at any number of tournaments last fall or earlier this year, he'd be number 2 right now.

 

[Gemini]

Holy crap, Sinner has a mountain to climb to win the title. Djoko's first three rounds are a joke.

Djokovic's challenge begins in rd. 3 if the matches play out as expected.

Nah they do it intentionally to destroy good tennis in the world.

Rune is useless on grass lol. Hurckacz though was the one to avoid for all, Djokovic got him and i think this time Hurckacz does him.

 

[messiahrobins]

I love you too.

How are sinner fans annoying?

 

[messiahrobins]

Hurckacz v Alcaraz final.

 

[SonnyT]

With both Alcaraz and Sinner in the top of the draw, there's no grass court player in the bottom except Djokovic. If he can't make the final this year, he won't make any slam final again.

 

[weakera]

Hasn't Rune looked good on grass in recent attempts? You're saying I'm misremembering and he's no good there too?
