2022 Wimbledon SF: Djokovic vs. Norrie

[Moxie]

Oh please if anyone thinks that Cam Norrie can take even 1 set off Novak in this semi final
Novak in straight sets he will have his 'eyes on the prize'' for certain
Novak knows this is his chance to win a GS title at Wimbledon, because he may not be able to compete at the USO later this year.

Right, but my point is that the pressure can get to him. Clearly it did in the sinner match. What do you think flipped that match in the first? It was not all Sinner. I said earlier in this thread that I give Norrie a set for the crowd and the Royals. I should add "the pressure." Maybe, maybe not. But it's on Novak, not Norrie, for sure.

In any semi final there will be pressure, of course Novak the defending champion, will have the most pressure,Norrie can in ways swing freely,
Novak has too much overall game for Norrie, Novak in straight sets.

Would you like to apologize to me first for being so quick to judge me on the other posts about my betting with my personal trainer, as I said I was joking, get your facts first before your point the finger at me okay.Thanks

Mine was actually a joke, too. I have no problem with people betting. I figured you meant casually. It was a laugh.

@Moxie I don't see the royals in the box during the ladies doubs. Maybe they will come later when the SF actually starts.

Probably. I can’t imagine them not coming. They would be criticized by the notoriously aggressive British press if they didn’t.

 

[Moxie]

They showed up late to the QF, I think, because it was mentioned that it seemed to change Cam's fortunes.

Kate is the patron of the All England Club I know for certain she will be at the Ladies Final

They were watching Djokovic/Sinner on Center Court, then went to Court One to watch Norrie after Novak won.

Hell Andrew Castle and Tim Henman are my commies time to 'mute them'

Better than Patrick Mac and Ken Doll

 

[Moxie]

Wow...Djokovic is the one who started tight, and Norrie opens with the break.

I cant wait for the USO for Ken Doll....I have been missing him big time

Match over can we go back to bed now

Let's see how long the break adv lives

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh well that break didnt last long no?

 

[kskate2]

not long at all. About 90 seconds

 

[Moxie]

Exactly. I thought it would last maybe midway through the set.

Arguably the main thing Norrie has going for him is crowd support. It’s not as if Norrie’s game alone is going to get him past the finish line. We know how much Novak needs crowd support, and how little he’s going to get playing a Brit.

So cringe when players put the #1 finger up after winning an exciting point
