🎾 The Tennis Thread - Part 5

[Iceman]

Hopefully this is finally a Wimbledon that Raducana can perform well in as part of her comeback. She's broken Sakkari in the first game but now in danger of losing her own serve.

 

[Iceman]

1 set and 3-2 (including a break) up now. Looking good.

 

[Iceman]

Raducanu wins in 2 sets and now is lined up against a qualifier next round so a decent chance of progressing further. Going to be very exciting beyond that having a Brit playing deep into Wimbledon who has won a title before. I hope she can find her best form.

 

[Iceman]

Bad start for Emma Raducanu so far being broken in the first game. Currently 3 games down to zero.

 

[Iceman]

Raducanu came back to win the second set, then had an injury beak, now losing the second set 1-0 and a break down.

Missed the women's final yesterday and already found out the score before watching it.

Full day of sport today so probably won't watch it till midweek.

Men's started well (for me) with Alcaraz getting an early break against the machine.

Alcaraz out the gate threw a wrench into those gears.
He is chewing up the Djoker, almost toying with him, if he maintains this will be a giant upset.

Alcaraz has got the youth, plus skill and focus here,
I think Djoker was the youngest of the epic Fed, Nadal, Djoki era, trio who hung on the longest, could be it's his turn to feel the threat of age.

True, I’ll be nervous till he seals the deal though. Djok is great at comebacks and 5 set matches. One day surely he will get too old for this.

 

[Breogan]

Alcaraz now a devastating 2 set lead.
Alcaraz still sprinting towards everything and twisting it into a winner, at anything Djoker sends his way.

 

[Iceman]

2 sets to Alcaraz!!

Just need a break now! I’m watching but also on a walk towards the place I’ll watch the England Spain final.

 

[Iceman]

Wow, perfect time for a break at 4-4. 5-4 now and Alcaraz serving for the championship!!

 

[Iceman]

Oh no, blows 3 championship points.

 

[Iceman]

Alcaraz wins the 3rd set 7-6!! Wimbledon champion in straight sets against the machine, hopefully this is the official changing of the guard.

 

[Breogan]

Oh no, blows 3 championship points.

Crazy Djoki finally finding solutions, and Alcaraz choked on that point.
Yet he still locked him to.
Congrats Alcaraz Garfia, now on to watch the Euros.

hopefully this is the official changing of the guard.

Congrats Alcaraz Garfia

I don’t know how with the match to that point he won 5 high pressure points against serve, but just happy it wasn’t the usual Djok 5 set comeback. Let the reign of Alcaraz begin.

It will be Djokovic vs Sinner in the Final of the Shanghai Masters. THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD MATCH.

Djokovic fought well but Sinner provide too good for him to get the win in straight sets.

Djokovic fought well but Sinner provide too good for him to get the win in straight sets.

Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[Iceman]

Djokovic fought well but Sinner provide too good for him to get the win in straight sets.

Hopefully there are more and more players who can beat Djok as time goes on.

Time for the next generation finally.
