2023 Men's Wimbledon Championships

[atttomole]

Tennis IQs Connors, Borg, McEnroe, Sampras, Federer, Rafa and Novak are at the highest..I would have put Arthur Ashe IQ at that level too.

And Boris Becker.

He is doing well and his story is the an example of when opportunity meets preparation.At least now he can enter big events without a wildcards and he has made some dough to tidy him up for the rest of the season.

Yep, and the same for Safiullin. Two Wimbledon debutants in the quarterfinals. I wonder if Medvedev and/or Sinner will overlook their underdog opponents, and allow them to go one step further.

Watching Dimitrov v. Rune… nice hitting and no big mistakes, yet.

That would be the loving, kind, mentoring thing to do. ; )

Alcaraz and Berrettini told by Gerry Armstrong that they have 3 full hours of daylight before eventually having to close the roof

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What did I do wrong to deserve having Pat Cash as one of my commies on Alcaraz and Berrettini match just as bad as having Andrew Castle

 

[nehmeth]

Grigor took a tumble, but still won 6-3 while only getting 46% of his first serves in. If the Bulgarian can get that percentage up to 60+%, it won’t bode well fro Holger.

46% on his first serve? what lol!

 

[nehmeth]

Rune double faults to gift his service game to Grigor. And here’s the question regarding the youngsters and 5 setters - are the mental ups and downs sometimes more grueling than the physical strain?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matteo misses big time on his fhand
Alcaraz shot wide and Matteo gets his first break and will serve for the 1st set 5-3
Alcaraz brain fail to attempt a drop shot that far behind the base line?
Matteo's first serves gets him out of trouble to win the 1st set 63
Alcaraz had chances to break and could not convert them in the 1st set

Berretini and Dimi winning these matches is not good for the tournament. Good for the youngsters to learn, but a death knell for the tournament…

Wimbledon deserves what they get for their political maneuverings last year. That said, these are chances to see the mental strength of these two who seem to be the future of the sport.

Yeah Holger what a grown ass man BH DTL..serve the set out now

One set a piece… Nicely done by Rune to grab the tiebreak.

Their political manoeuvrings were an attempt to do something good. So they deserve only good in return. We definitely will learn something about the youngsters. We know enough about their opponents..

 

[don_fabio]

I'm surprised by the level of Grigor, this is the best I've seen from him in years.

 

[don_fabio]

That was one hell of a shot. Rune has the balls.

 

[Kieran]

Grigor can be good, he has a high level game, but he’s not the type to follow one good day up with a whole week of good days, this is his problem. Generally one good day satisfies him for several months…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Computer trouble again,
Good response from Alcaraz serving for the 2nd set 5-3
Well done Alcaraz wins the 2nd set 63 Clean set from Alcaraz 13 W 3 UFE

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcsraz reading the serve of Matteo better now, especially if he gets a look at his 2nd set
Poor service game from Matteo
Alcaraz with 3 BPs

Saves another with a good 1st serve
Deuce a good body serve from Matteo
BP for Alcaraz, UFE from Matteo on his bhand
Deuce Alcaraz has 4 BP so far and cannot convert
