Krejčíková proving her class by beating Świątek in the doubles final too *shrug*

(yes there were two other players, both of whom are completely unreliable headcases)

 

[Lillian Thomson]

She's been at the top in doubles for years, but never breeched the top 30 in singles.
On the plus side to the cricket finishing early I now only need two TV's instead of three this afternoon.

Siniakova isn't a headcase is she?

Just a pretty limited journeywomen .

Mattek Sands is cringe personified if obviously harmless.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

well I have seen a few matches with her and yeah, she is prone to just burst into tears after a double fault.

Not that she has super great skills but she has some decent counterpunching.

Anyway sounds like a good start from Stefano

 

[Lillian Thomson]

A gruelling first set that could have gone either way. Whether Djokovic has the energy to come from two down here remains to be seen. He often appears to be on drugs.

 

[Anil]

he is a double break up in the 4th, i'd say he is back...

 

[StephenZA]

Djokovic is truly indefatigable!

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Either or steroids or bananas.

 

[Anil]

so golden slam in 2021?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Wimbledon is having capacity crowds for the Singles Finals. It might be interesting to see what happens if it’s raining and it becomes an indoor event.

 

[DriveClub]

Only a matter of time before djokovich and nadal go past feds GS tally. Will he be remembered as a goat in another 10 years?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

He might still be playing.

 

[Anil]

As long as he stays healthy, Djokovic will be inarguably the GOAT by the end of next year at the latest. Also he will reach 20 slams at Wimbledon.

 

[Niall]

so golden slam in 2021?

Bookies have him same price to win both events.

He's obviously the fav for Wimbledon.

Maybe a serving beast can catch him early on ? However most are in decline (Isner, Anderson, simple sam, )or have other issues Opelka, Kyrigos etc.

Zverev should have the game for grass so its interesting to see how he does, not sure Stefano will do much.

 

[Anil]

what about the olympics? that's what i meant by the golden slam...

Ah sorry my bad

Probably not .

He's the best player in the world, but this isn't Novak of 10 years ago.

I dunno maybe wins 2 from Wimbly, US and Olympics?

more like who is going to stop him at any of these events?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Roger didn’t last long in Halle. He probably has as close to zero chance at Wimbledon as he’s ever had.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

plagues in the streets, bald grifters running our politics, and now Federer losing in Halle?! truly, fellow thread members, it is the end times

You missed out Olivia Rodrigo having three songs in the top 5 of the UK Singles Chart.
