2023 Men's Wimbledon Championships

As long as there isn’t a 2007 redux, things will be fine.

It hasn’t been close to that yet, where Rafa played Soderling across 3 days, and was fairly fortunate to face Novak in the semis. Novak ran away scared when Rafa took control of the match, and gave Rafa an early bedtime.

The weather forecast looks bright for the next few days..

I don’t think they’ll go back-to-back-to-back. They may play 2 days in a row, but that’s nothing. But look at Carlos, plays 2nd round tomoro, 3rd round on Saturday or Sunday, 4th round on Monday. That’s potentially 3 matches in 4 days - only 1 against a highly ranked player - but it’s not so unusual in slams that this happens…

but in Charlie's case that would be back-to-back-to-back. And I'm assuming they probably held him up so his opponents would all be in the same boat.

Possibly, but it will 3 matches in 4 days, not 3 in 3 days?

Yeah, Wimbledon dropped the ball on scheduling this year. This is the one thing that Wimbledon does well, and they managed to screw this up. Now watch us get something like Novak's QF be played on Tuesday, the women's QFs on Wednesday, and Alcaraz's QF on Thursday. What a mess.

Exactly. In short, it would take A LOT for me to feel things are truly going sideways.

You’re not paying attention…

I don’t see things going well for Murray. He will fight, but he’s at least a step slower and that won’t come back. Stef got through Thiem and I doubt he will be awed by the spectre of what once was Andy.

I don’t know if this website is reliable but I hope Carlos isn’t saying stuff like this:

Roger is quoted here showing surprise at comments by Juan Carlos Ferrero:

"[His coach] said that? That is quite a compliment," exclaimed the Swiss. "It's a lot to live up to. I think Carlos at his young age, the age that he is right now, he's doing incredible things.

"I always don't like to put too much pressure on younger players, especially like, 'He's going to do this.' But he's the type of player who says, 'Well, I'm coming to Wimbledon, I'm coming to win. I'm coming to Paris, I'm coming to win.'

Muzz needs to go stronger at the FH of Stef to open up his bhand, at present anything short, Stef is just putting it away, Stefs fhand is really been dictating this match from early in the 2nd set

Murray isn’t fast enough to make it happen consistently. Tsi is hitting the ball where he isn’t and when he has to run, he leaves the court open as his recovery is a shadow of what it was.

Impressed by Stefs footwork today as well

He’s not all nervy as is often the case. What do you want to bet Stef has a Novakesque tiebreaker?

Murray serving lights out. Stef can’t afford an error and he’s made two.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

TB it is for the 2nd set

No I am going for Muzz in the 2nd set TB lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vintage Muzz return
5-2 Muzz

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Brain Fail from Stef with a drop shot from the Baseline?
Muzz 6-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

4 SP for Muzz

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes well done Muzz wins the 2nd set TB 76(4) Stef made some very questionable shots in that TB and paid the price

 

[nehmeth]

And it was Murray who had the flawless tiebreak.
