2022 Wimbledon SF: Djokovic vs. Norrie

[Moxie]

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

I noticed that. It's a bit early in the match for that, at the very least.

Cam Norrie has more sun screen on his face than an Aussie cricketer

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay lets see what Norrie is made of can he consolidate his break this time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Not a great start Novak bringing Cam into the net...all over Red Rover
Cam holds to 15...........Vamos...opps wrong player

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.

He is a tough out though for anybody except the Big 3. He doesn't make a ton of errors, he moves well and he has a sneaky underrated consistent serve. With the crowd it will make life interesting until Djoke figures out the formula.

 

[tented]

Wow, Norrie up a double break. Now can he control his nerves while serving for the set?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cam Norrie on Fire with a double break 5-2

 

[Moxie]

I was saying on some thread around here, or to someone in a PM, that Norrie should look at that USO final last year v. Medvedev...get up on him early, and let the pressure he already feels start working on him. They've never played before? Norrie's mixing stuff up on Djokovic and frustrating him.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The net chord appears not to like Novak either

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

An Ace from Cam me likey 127 mph

They’ve played once, at the ATP Finals last year. Novak won 6-2, 6-1.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cam Norrie 1st set 62

 

[the AntiPusher]

YES,. The reply to someone asked if Norrie could win a set off Novak.

 

[tented]

Impressive! But we’ve seen this movie before, with Novak down a set or two. I hope Cam learned something from watching Sinner slowly sink like the Titanic.

 

[Moxie]

OK, that was the set I gave him for the crowd. And the royals haven't even shown up yet. (Though that dishy guy from Bridgerton has.) So maybe he gets another set when they do. And one for Djokovic's nerves. There..done!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh well I predicated Novak in 3 sets,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Please leave my youngster alone, it was a learning experience for him, he will learn from it.

I hope Nick Kyrgios is watching this match, I think he will be.
What I dont like is that Novak and Nick have a 'bromance' going on at present

Yes, that bromance is not good for Nick. It works better for Nick in the final if they are enemies. But he is able to change that easily during the match I guess.

If Nick wins this tournament I will fly to NY and give him a box of Jello pudding pops .
