Edit, if he wins today of course, hopefully not. Hes had his serve broken already. This will be his sternest test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 These next gen players haven't the mental strength. they are bigger stronger, hit the ball harder but Djokovic always beats them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. Shapavalov has all the shots in the book but you can't be that pumped up and emotional on every shot. Tsitsipas and Zverev the same. We'll probably be talking about these guys when they are 28, 29 having not won a slam. They aren't calm and present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but I think they are going to be winning them in the next year or two when the three legends aren't around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Only just seen this thread. I've had more fun watching Wimbledon than the euros, I was really backing Kerber to do it in the women's but Barty is pretty damn good for a stumpy midget, Kerber put up a good fight against her but was easy beat in the end. I felt sorry for Raducanu, yeah nerves got the better of her but she wasn't helped out at all by them putting her match back by 6 hours just so she could be the main watch, for a young 18 year old that must have been **** gut wrenching.

theboyangel Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Ash Barty has started off like a train going 4-0 up… However, Pliskova has just broken back but mainly due to Barty mistakes. Still expect the Australian to win this 2-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barty to win too for me. 1-0 now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second set is more of a contest and I’m enjoying the variety of shots being played. I find the men’s game is pure serve and baseline shots (unless Federer is playing as he mixes it up a bit) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2021 As for the mini competition between the w*nkers in the crowd to see who can shout support closest to the next serve. I'd have snipers set up in each corner to take out the 'winner'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
