Tennis: Wimbledon 2024

[CupofOil]

Carlos out for blood early. I expect Djokovic to bounce back this set.

 

[TCTC]

Reminds me of that US Open final between Djokovic and Medvedev. Djokovic completely outclassed here.

 

[VMBM]

You can never count Djokovic out though.

I already feel like doing that! Right now it looks like he could only win one 'mercy set' at best.

Djokovic is just getting anililated.

 

[TCTC]

Would love to see this Alcaraz against prime Federer in Wimbledon. What a match that would be.

 

[VMBM]

Djokovic waking up a bit and serving well; he still can't get that needed break though.

 

[sfvega]

Djoker having a great set and still can't get a break yet. I can't help but think how much the insanely weak draw helps Djokovic. I think it would be straight sets for Carlos if Novak had any type of test before now.

 

[Ben Grimm]

C'mon Carlos. Good must triumph over evil.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Djokovic is just getting anililated.

Yeah wasn't close at all in the end. Djokovic's days as a top player are numbered.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Interesting factoid: In the last 11 years there have been 10 different women who have won the championship at Wimbledon. ...

The last 7 women's champs have all been first time winners.

Yeah wasn't close at all in the end. Djokovic's days as a top player are numbered.

He's the 2nd seed and in the final.

Alcatraz could be youngest mens Wimbledon winner since Boris Becker.

Would this be Spain's only win on lawn today, or does football NT win later today also?

 

[sfvega]

Abysmal service game by Alcaraz. Get your serve in and win.

Alcaraz won last year already.

Alcarez caught thinking about holding the trophy before he had won it, understandable but has to get focused again.

You don't know that. The baloney is getting thick in here.

Exactly. Carlos is not younger than he was a year ago.

I don't know it but it's a pretty good guess I think. Adrenaline and nerves play a big part in these situations.

They're human after all.

 

[Jussi]

Alcaraz wins!

 

[Tuggy]

Practically every point was on Alcaraz's racket.

Dominated.

 

[jj cale]

Domination.

 

[Beau Knows]

What a player! 4 slams at 21, amazing

 

[TCTC]

Alcaraz having to go through Djokovic's team first to get to his guys was pretty funny.

 

[GQS]

Novak didn't even play all that bad most of this match. He did have some bad unforced errors, but overall he played well and Alcaraz was near perfect. Would've liked to see more tennis, but oh well.

Seems like Novak as long as he stays healthy still has a few years left in him, but its clear that now its the time of Carlos and a few other younger guys that are coming up in men's tennis.

Incredible Champion resolve from Alcaraz not that I expected any different from him. He truly is a worthy successor to The Big 3. One can only hope that some challengers pop up because he's head and shoulders above everybody at this point. Sinner needs to improve his conditioning.
