Disappointed with Sinner. He's capable of better than he's showing here isn't he?
Definitely nowhere near his best. Novak well within himself too though.
Most of his opponents were beaten before they set foot in the ring.
These mugs can't live with Novak & he knows having been up against the other 2 all time greats.

close, but Alcaraz will edge it, probably 3-2
No denying he's the best of the three now Fed is in the rear view distance now.
Will probs do the grand slam for good measure.

Djokovic suddenly running out of **** to give about the Centre Court crowd is a joy to behold, and very overdue. #Wimbledon
oh the irony.

This is a straight 3-0 win, Sinner might get lucky with a tie break, but that would be his lot.

a lot is on the trajectory curve of Carlos. If he keeps progressing, I don't see Novak being able to hang with him.
Yeah. Carlos improving, Novak in a few years SURELY will regress a bit. Be interesting to see. Can't rule out Novak staying at this level mind you. He is just a machine

Daniil is such a character. we need more Daniil's in men's tennis
we have enough heels in tennis. Need more likeable faces, like Rublev.

he's a cool heel, and has lots of fans, but he is still a heel.

I don't watch a lot of tennis, but I don't quite get why people would dislike Medvedev. He seems perfectly likeable and reasonable to me.
He's very charming in interviews but often behaves like a jackass to the umpire and crowd during matches.

Ah, ok, didn't know that, but there is enough forced bonhomie and "super-niceness" in the game as as far as I'm concerned
Alcaraz will likely get his revenge if they meet at the US though

Think Jock has to much on grass but I've been wrong many many times before

Djokovic's price very similar to his price before a ball was hit. Just shows you how much Alcaraz has impressed.
Should be an absolute belter !!! Can't wait.

1.15 £13,583.68

Guessing I'm not the only one, as this place is pretty dead for a GS finals day...

yeah, nothing about Marketa, but unseeded player without an enthralling personality in the final isn't exactly the recipe for an exciting final. Hope Ons can finally win a Slam, but there's a chance she's super nervous and has a Sabine type performance.
She's not the 16 year old getting the headlines but give it a bit of time.
