2023 Men's Wimbledon Championships

[Kieran]

They met in Madrid where Foki contested a linecall, which wasn't allowed because they used computers. He acted like a spoild brat in that situation calling for the director and yelling, and Rune got the crowd on his back for removing the mark. It was an epic match in 3 sets. Nice Rune got his revenge...

Ah yes! Good for Holger..

 

[lomaha]

And no MTO for Rune in the whole match....and no cramping....

TB for the 2nd set between Berrettini - Zverev
Berrettini 1st set 63
Berrettini wins the 2nd set 76(4) Forza Matteo, the serve holds strong
Berrettini leads 2 sets to love

 

[Jelenafan]

Fokina is in the locker room bashing his head against the metal. Rune saved match points after his own failures. He was very happy to get the underhand serve he said.

Since last October this is at least the 4th match the Danish Angel has won with MP’s against him.

At the same time, bad break for Dimitrov. Now, he will not able to finish the match today at all!

This is probably the worst thing that could happen for Dimi. He will go to the hotel tonight and literally talk himself out of the lead.

TB for the 3rd set between Berrettini - Zverev ( I am also watching the womens match lol )

Babycakes is playing well today. 35 FH winners. His BP convo could be better

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There goes your Babycakes into a mouthwatering fourth round match with Chaz Alcaraz…

It'll be very competitive. This is why Charlie needed those matches against big hitters, because this tourney is chock full of them.

Some beautiful words from Berrettini,

" It feels unbelievable. Something I didnt think could happen. I didnt play much this year. It must be something about this place. I still didnt heal from that withdrawal. This tournament changed my life".
Sono cosi orgoglioso di te Matteo! ( where is Moxie she would understand what I said in Italian lol )

I will translate... I am very proud of you Matteo

Berrettini v. Alcaraz I saw Matteo at his ball bashing best today. Zverev was serving better than he was and still lost. If there is one person who could hit Carlos off the court, it would be the Italian. This will be another test of the young Spaniard’s mettle. I think he will win and I expect a bit of a letdown from Matteo will play a part.

 

[Jelenafan]

For me, the “feel good” story on the mens side at Wimbledon so far is American Christopher Eubanks surprising run to the 4th round, where the Greek Crown Prince awaits. This is the kind of result (& money) that sustains a player for a couple of years.

Quoted previously stating grass was “a stupid surface” to winning Mallorca and here at Wimbledon 4th round he’s won 8 straight grasscourt matches and reached a live ATP ranking career high #43. : )

Hey watch what you say against my Italian Matteo, he has been through hell and back, I predicated Matteo would win he is a better grass court player then Zverev,, Matteo serve held up when it mattered, if Zverev was the better player why didnt he win or take a set off Matteo?I am just happy he has found some form, and wins on the grass, after being out with injuries this year, and came into Wimbledon with ' No Form at All", he wasnt certain he would play Wimbledon at all, because of lack of form and matches.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I do think Alcaraz will win against Matteo because he is a better all-around player. However, if there is one thing that Matteo can do is attack Alcaraz’s return of serve.

By no means that Alcaraz is a bad returner at all (I am being super nipticky here), however sometimes Alcaraz gets too amped up and it affects his return of serve just a little bit. If Matteo can keep his 1st serve % high and serve smartly, he has a small chance.

 

[rafanoy1992]

This is why I cannot stand the 'self entitled Zverev" ( seeing I just got in from Sunday Mass I wont swear)

Jannik Sinner was asked about Zverev saying other players deserved to play on main courts over him?
He responded, " All I know is I'm in the 4th round of Wimbledon, and I dont know where he is".
Later picked up Jannik asking the moderator : Isnt he back in Germany already?".
"

Be careful Margaret, that might be a parody giving out false information.

As of right now, Sinner has not said anything officially regarding about Zverev’s comment.

Well I didnt give out false information, I would not have posted it otherwise,? his comments were on court after a match, I am looking at the photo of him and his comments again?

The person that tweeted that Sinner ”response ” finally said it was a joke that people might have missed.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In regards to Berrettini playing Alcaraz who was the last player to have beaten Alcaraz in a 5 setter and 2/3 of their matches have gone to deciding TBs,
Quite frankly at this point in time, I really dont expect Matteo to win. An area that does concern me is the placement of Alcaraz serves, it is an area that he needs to improve

 

[rafanoy1992]

That wasnt the photo I already saw that

Zverev’s comments are real and Sinner’s comments are not.

besides, Cahill Will never allow Sinner to make that type of comment on any press conferenc.
