first set of kerber vs tormo absolutely astonishing stuff. 70 mins 7-5 angie.

Italian bartender at the pub the other night (SUI 3-3 FRA, place to ourselves) had tickets for #2 Court today, glad he's getting to see a contest (though I'm guessing Svitolina's exit wasn't without its moments).
Sad to see Monfils go. Lockdown really snapped his late-career surge - he was in great form early 2020.

impressive by kenin
At the Slam, she defeated Wang Xinyu in the first round, before being defeated by Madison Brengle in the second round. In this match, Kenin set a new Wimbledon record, as she committed 41 unforced errors in just 45 minutes; this was equivalent to 0.91 unforced errors per minute.[67]

Kerber-Tormo now immense.

DF for three match points Kerber

Done at the first.

Federer looking better than Tuesday, but Gasquet is practically his ideal opponent. 10 years since he dropped a set to him.

khachanov/korda 5th set break fest
1 hold each / 5 breaks each lol
we're @ 6-6
― johnny crunch, Monday, 5 July 2021 13:40 (two years ago) link
make that 7-7 and 6 breaks each
― johnny crunch, Monday, 5 July 2021 13:48 (two years ago) link
Jabeur/Swiatek had some fantastic shotmaking. Happy for Ons - played smart, dialled down the errors after losing the first set, and ran away with it
― Roz, Monday, 5 July 2021 13:48 (two years ago) link
Frustratingly easy ride for Djokovic. Wish Berrettini was in his quarter. Fucsovics has now taken out Rublev, so he's next.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 5 July 2021 14:53 (two years ago) link
fed has played himself into form & kept his time on court quite low..meds and then either felix or berrettini isnt exactly easy but i also am increasingly finding it hard to envision him losing on ctr court to someone other than novak
― johnny crunch, Monday, 5 July 2021 23:44 (two years ago) link
make that hubie hurkacz instead of medvedev wow

novak/shapo top half semis

little of everything in that tiebreak, tough now for rog to dig out
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link
Hurkacsz is 2 sets up, he has an excellent serve and great temperament
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link
fed was 2 pts away from being up 5-1 and serving to close out that set btw

it’s like watching Serena being deconstructed by one of those next-gen players who are not in awe of her
― ten man poland chasing this means hamsik feasts (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
fed at least wont crumble emotionally like serena usu does
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:03 (two years ago) link
hurkacz has only hit 12 unforced errors
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:05 (two years ago) link
straight sets, bagel last set - my word~
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:13 (two years ago) link
could this finally be the young male player to break through the Big 3 ceiling straight away and just go for that slam title (and Djoko’s throat), the way it’s so common on the women’s side these days? getting ahead of myself probably, but it would be exhilirating
― ten man poland chasing this means hamsik feasts (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:29 (two years ago) link
*exhilarating
― ten man poland chasing this means hamsik feasts (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:33 (two years ago) link
Would love Shapovalov to win this. Be pretty happy with Berrettini. FAA would be amazing (to lose eight ATP finals in straight sets and then... just win a Slam). Hurkacz too... I mean, you can see where I'm going with this.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
Also... re: getting wiped out in a Slam qf like that and it possibly being the end of yr career. Why oh why couldn't Thiem 76 63 60 Djokovic at RG 2017 have been similarly career-ending?
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:41 (two years ago) link
At the end of the 2nd set, felt it was over so I switched off. I didn't want to see it.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:49 (two years ago) link

Yeah lol. Frankly if Djoko loses a set I'll be surprised.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 17:50 (two years ago) link
Prove me wrong kids!
standard in this berrettini/felix a-a match p dire tbh
― oscar bravo, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 18:31 (two years ago) link
can’t see Shapovalov or Berrettini (or FAA) beating Djoko, but Hurkacz has that meteoric quality. it’s got to happen one day, might as well be him, now. please, I need this dream!
― ten man poland chasing this means hamsik feasts (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 18:57 (two years ago) link
Hurkacz quality of play against Fed was incredible. Great winners, low on UE, amazing sublte touch at times (that lob from just behind the net in the second set (iirc), wow). If he keeps this up he could win this
― willem, Thursday, 8 July 2021 09:14 (two years ago) link
Barty Kerber looks excellent from what I've seen

What coverage by both Sab and Pli in that rally!

also, watching the men's championship and hoping the underdog wins this

UE for the 3rd. Just plays with a little bit more composure in the tense points

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 11 July 2021 16:20 (two years ago) link
DF, breaks, ofc
Reconciled to this. At least the first 30min of garbage has has no bearing on the result, Matteo has acquitted himself reasonably well and Novak has really had to play.

okay, i misread that. he has said he supports italy
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 11 July 2021 17:01 (two years ago) link
When did he say that?
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 11 July 2021 17:32 (two years ago) link
No he said he loved football and wanted IT to win !
― AlXTC from Paris, Sunday, 11 July 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link
(It being football, no italy !)
https://football-italia.net/djokovic-i-hope-italy-win-but-only-in-the-evening/
he's a fan of ac milan, speaks italian, and spends a lot of time in italy, apparently
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 11 July 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
I knew he'd probably want Italy to win, stupid question to ask him after he'd just won Wimbledon though.
