2022 ATP General News

The instructive words here being, “these days.” But these days change. Players are organic creatures, they evolve. They’re opportunistic. We shouldn’t be surprised if the players 10 years from now resemble Pete more than Novak or Rafa…

The player of the future

Good news for Jason Kluber after making the s/finals at Newport, he gets back into the Top 10 at 96

No wonder he lost. I thought he was only 29!

Tightly contested 1st set with the upstarts, but Cerundolo runs away with the hardware: 76(4) 62. Wins his maiden title. Well done young man.

Wow, tough article by Washington Post....

Washington Post: "Novak Djokovic didn't deserve Wimbledon prize money"

Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon 2022 by beating Nick Kyrgios in 4 sets in the final. After an extraordinary year, Nole started the season with a handicap, which is no small handicap

In particular, the American journalist of the Washington Post Benjamin Butterworth: "Novak Djokovic does not deserve a penny of the Wimbledon prize pool. He was selfish in not getting vaccinated and if we all followed his example there would be no tennis tournaments.

He showed no respect towards his fellow tennis players and tennis fans. Djokovic should donate the entire prize pool to charity for people in need and for the families of Covid victims. This could be just one of the many ways to make amends."

“Make amends?” For what? This is deranged..

It shows how a covid has made idiots of some people. There’s no vaccine for stupid..

Bublik's one sock up and one sock down annoys the hell out of me. Reminds me of my mother in law who has the same dopey sock fashion.

Try to be kind to your mother in law

Apart from Bublik's sock fiasco he is schooling Cressy at present won the 1st set 62 and up a early break in the 2nd set

 

[Front242]

2 rather one sided and crap finals today. At least set 1 of Bastad was quite entertaining,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh wait, just as I was going to turn off the match Cressy wins the 2nd set 63, Bulbik muttering to himself, shades of Nick K
Going to a 3rd and final set.

Cressy only had 43% first serves in for set 1 whch says a lot for the score of that blowout first set. Most were predicting a 3 setter. I've a measly €10 down for over 25.5 games so just need both to get to 3-3 since the first 2 sets were pretty low in the game count.

Good stuff Boob-Lick, that'll do. Bet settled.

 

[Front242]

Some good matches for Hamburg tomorrow.

 

[Front242]

With allegations of match fixing being thrown at Basilashvili and Karatsev, it's pretty damn funny seeing them draw to play each other on day 1 of Hamburg.

I dunno who to bet on there

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

How many DFs has Cressy hit so far in this match 12?

 

[Front242]

Gutted I didn't back Cerundolo and Baez per Sean Calvert's tips. He tipped Cerundolo outright at the start at 50/1 although he claims he got him at 80/1 with some other bookie and Baez to make the final at 18/1. Both bets came in for anyone who backed them. Sweet deal even with just €10 on each but if you had 50-100 that was a SWEET day! I don't usually do outrights, only match to match.

My betting days are done, after I lost both bets at Wimbledon...Ouch.

This final set will go to a t/break, depends which player's serve is on song.
