Not a fan of Novax but his match management is quite sublime. The way he handled Sinner today after going 2 sets down was most impressive........no panic, no Kyrgios-like petulence......in fact, he got better the longer the match went on. Don't think Norrie has the shotmaking ability to cope with Djokovic. If Djokovic is as slow out of the blocks as he was today, Norrie might scramble the first set, but will succumb to a 3-1 defeat.

tarapoa Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Apparently Norrie is set to visit Boris Becker for some advice on how to handle the men’s semis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I agree, Norrie has no chance of bearing djokovic, but he deserves massive credit for getting this far. You also never know what can happen, injuries etc. It'll be slightly annoying that he won't get any points for this performance. That would've been a great boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Great win for Norrie and delighted to see him in the semi final. He’s certainly had a kind draw so far - he’s in the semi and he’s only had to beat one seeded player, and that was the 30th seed. But you can only beat what’s put in front of you and he’s certainly done that.Huge jump in class coming up now against the favourite and first seed.The partisan crowd will get Djokovic nice and fired up and I expect him to cruise through. But upsets do happen… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Am I missing something ? Do you mean ranking points ? If so, why not ?Cause Wimbledon banned Russian players the ATP decided that this wasn’t going to be a ranking event. It’s one big glorious exhibition tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Are they allowed to take performance into account in future tournaments? Like if an unseeded player wins Wimbledon could that be used as a criteria for seeding them at the US Open, or would they have to ignore it because of the ranking points ban? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The eventual winner won’t give a toss though. Still a slamOh definitely. The top guys aren’t that arsed about ranking points anyway, it makes no real difference to Djokovic and Nadal. it’s guys like Norrie, Van Rijtoven and Broady who are really affected. The rankling points these guys should have got from their runs would have made a huge difference to them. There will be no asterisk beside the name of whoever wins this title, but it is a pity the world number one Medvedev hasn’t been allowed to compete. He hasn’t lived in Russia since he was a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not denying those guys would have loved the points. Better draws etc. their bank balances have still had a hefty boost so they won’t be greeting about it. They’ll look at their performances and take nothing but positives from the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimbledon up until very recently was the only exception (had a formula system) but not anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Nadal is losing. Goes off with an injury. Comes back out and immediately takes over. Commentator asks Lopez 'Why is it so hard to play someone who is injured' The real question is why is so hard to play someone who has been in the locker room while you were on court? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Nadal looks done here. Not moving right at all, and his family are signalling for him to quit. He could hardly hit the ball over the net in that last game. Would be surprised if he finishes this match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
