Johnnyp Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Only way i can describe it - Djokovic has an innate ability to stay absolutely present during every point. It’s the reason he’s so difficult to shake off too when he’s behind. Doesn’t drop the head and it’s the reason he doesn’t get too complacent if he’s ahead. Literally stays in the middle mentally during every point. Remarkable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I was on the Prime app and decided to watch a replay of Emma Raddacanu's match at Indian Wells. And what do you know? She gets injured, yet again. She slipped and rolled her ankle. It's quite unbelievable the bad luck this girl has had with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Just watching the Norrie v Daniel game on Prime. Norrie looked out of it, but, what a competitor this guy is, and some of his shot selection is just top - notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It was a good game. Daniel was playing supremely well in the first set, well above his regular level I reckon but was clearly tiring. Tonight's match between Draper and Murray will be very tasty. Have to be a re-watch in the morning as I think its a 1am start. But a meeting of the old and the new, will be fascinated to see how that goes. Think I might favour Draper slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I am sure it has been previously commented but the attendance on the show courts at Roland Garros is pish poor. Swiatek the women world number 1 is playing in front of a average county championship crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Absolutely ridiculous game tonight with Monfils winning in 5. He lost the fourth 6-1 and was 4-0 in the fifth and could barely move because of cramps. But won 7-5. The great entertainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Alcaraz Djokovic semi-final is going to be some match.

Scary thing is he looked as fit as the rest and prob going to be fav again for Wimbledon. Injury aside he prob has another 2 years in him and apart from Ruud and Alcarez there just isn't enough good players around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I reckon there can be no argument now. Incredible to keep going for so long at that level. Must be favourite for Wimbledon now as he always wins there. Ruud seems like a genuinely nice person. Hope he wins one soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Xela said: Djokovic the greatest of all time? 23 majors. Only bloke to win all four majors at least 3 times. Think so. He has the most complete game on all surfaces. Nadal obviously the greatest on clay, and I think prime Federer or Sampras beat him on grass? But across the board he’s been the most consistent and has probably had the hardest ride accumulating titles of any of the greats… Federer had that early career period when the quality of competition was fairly weak, and 2/3s of Nadal’s grand slams are at Roland Garros. Shame he seems like a bit of a dick, but he is an incredible player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more impressive is winning the vast majority of those GS's in amongst the other greats like Federer, Nadal and dare we say Murray I don't get the dislike of him from some quarters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Nobody watching Wimbledon then? The presenters in the studio yesterday morning were very easy on the eye as for the actual tennis, I do NOT like this new "must make the winner do an interview on court" bollocks. Especially in the first round FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
