So Djokovic has now reached more slam finals than anyone else?

On the mens side.  Although the likes of Laver might have more finals if the Professional Slams he played in the 60s whilst banned would officially count.

Think the official record is Evert with 34.

I actually want them both to win, for different reasons... But I know I can't always get what I want.

I wonder who The Boy Who Cried Wolf will be supporting back in Mallorca?  🙃  He would probably have a similar outlook to DeeTillEhDeh above.

Albeit she’s represented Kazakhstan since 2018. 

A flag of convenience. She was born in Moscow and still primarily lives in Moscow, holds a Russian passport and pays taxes in Russia.

SW19 sending Putin a percentage of the winners cheque which was the situation they wanted to avoid when they banned the other Russian players.

Aye very fair points.

It does show what a folly of a decision that was by the LTA. Medvedev rumoured to be considering switching to represent France to get around future bans - which is where he has lived since he was a teenager. Won’t make him any less Russian, of course.
Anyway, gents final day. Hopefully we do not see a Kyrgios tanking and Djokovic getting an effective walk over, but would say that’s not unlikely.
I would argue that Kyrgios is the more naturally talented tennis player of the two. The difference is one of them has the mindset of stone cold champion and the other has the mindset of a petulant child.
Expect him to have arguments with the umpire, the referee, the crowd and line judges if it starts going against him.
Or he might keep his head screwed on, play the game of his life and win…
