This year's Wimbledon really shows how grass is the odd-man-out surface, right? Dimitrov keeps winning (former semi-finalist) even though he pulled out of the last 5 slams or whatever. Marin Cilic, for god's sake, what on earth is he still doing there? And on and on. Just a very tricky, unfamiliar surface for many of the players.

The women, too. Rybakina should not have lost, nor should have Krecjikova. Jeeeez.

R21 I disagree. He is boring. No personality and an incredibly boring playing style. He is like a robot on and off the court. It's a huge juxtaposition compared to Alcaraz, who has a fun and bubbly personality both on and off the court. And although Alcaraz's playing style is more erratic, I still think it's more fun to watch. The fact that Sinner was doping isn't helping matters either. I know Sinner will win Wimbledon this year, which sucks. I really don't like him.

Sinner is great. He's a clever tennis player, finding the corners a la Agassi. He's relentless. He's precise. He can redirect the ball better than anyone. He has a game plan. He moves beautifully (even if he's not as graceful as Carlos).

I really like both players. Reminds me of Fed and Rafa. Both were pure genius (in unique ways) on the court and, even though I clearly rooted for Rafa, I always loved Fed's game.

I am probably more partial to Carlos, but man do I love Sinner's game.

r63, Kartal hit a shot a few inches long (visible on replay) that would have given Pav the game but, for whatever reason, the system didn't make a call. The umpire -- who saw it was clearly out -- was powerless to overrule so the point was replayed. I believe Kartal ultimately won the game. (It's been a few hours, so don't hold me to that.)

I'm enjoying Sam Querrey's commentary much more than I would have expected; he's such a spazz on the "Nothing Major" podcast, but holds it together here. Probably helps that BG and JMac set such a low bar. Coco Vandewhatever is also better than I would have thought; she doesn't pull her punches.

Too bad Steve Johnson's career wasn't quite enough to get him a sniff at network commentary 'cuz he seems to be the most intelligent/well-spoken of the "Nothing Major" quartet.

I agree, R82, though I find Sam kind of sweet in his awkwardness on the podcast, he's so self-deprecating (they all are). It's fun to hear him call matches on ESPN and then on Nothing Major he's like, "I was so nervous!" or "I had to fart so bad!"

Steve is terrific, I agree with you. And I like John Isner very much on the podcast (deplore his politics); he seems like a good guy, very fair-minded. It's Jack Sock who truly does not need to be there. He is so dumb it's astounding. And he has nothing to say, and never prepares.

We know R124: Khachanov and Rublev had some sort of a fallout three years ago when Rublev, asked to share his thoughts about the war, replied that it was really sad and that the loss of lives was intolerable and that peace should be the main goal for both countries and out of nowhere Khachanov came down on him like a ton of bricks arguing that Russia was totally in its rights to reestablish its former (Soviet Union) borders and how dare Rublev support the view of a foreign country. I used to find Karen Hemsworth one of the hottest player out there and now, due to his bellicose stance on the matter, not so much.

Likewise Djokovic used to be my favorite player in the 2010s, when people were talking of the Big Three or the Big Four, but the endless shenanigans to be popular, to be loved by the public, the boobs out serenade, the mawkish interviews, the anti-vaccine stance, the lies, the manipulativeness really turned me off of his game.

It's funny how real life outside of the sport can end up reshaping the appreciation you get of the playing style of the players. But this has been my truth.

by Anonymousreply 146July 7, 2025 2:57 PM

I think so, R146, especially if he can open up the court and move Demon side to side. Demon's been successful coming at Novak down the middle of the court, especially when the wind is with him.

by Anonymousreply 147July 7, 2025 2:58 PM

Djoker dropping a set, even 6-1, unless to the very top guys, just doesn't matter. AJLT he's up two sets to one.

I really don't care for de Minaur. There's really nothing to affirmatively dislike, but I just find him boring and I rarely root for him - even here over Djokovic, because I'd rather see Djokovic play Sinner.

I'm with you, R148, Sinner-Djokovic would be really exciting. Novak just seems out of sorts today; I think he's in real trouble. He's gotta find a new gear in the fifth set.

Shelton beat Sonego at both the Australian (four sets) and French (five sets) this year. All of their four matches have been fairly close. Shelton leads 3-1 head to head but neither player has ever won in straight sets. Three of the four matches were at Slams (Shelton leads 2-1) - so best of five.

Although far from inevitable, I think a third Carlitos win is looking more likely:

- Sinner weakened: looking as though he was heading to defeat against Grigor and now possibly injured

- Novaxx, pushed by Demon, who doesn't possess the weapons Alcaraz can bring.

- Fritz on good form, but definitely beatable

- Shelton and Cobolli - neither has played a slam final and big questions as to whether they would be overwhelmed by the occasion.

It's far from a certainty - especially while Novaxx is still in any tournament - but I think the odds are moving in Alcaraz's favour.

Carlos *may* lose - and the recent losses to Novak *may* be a factor - but there are dozens of other considerations at play: relative fitness, momentum within the tournament, recent form - Carlos winning 4 big titles in the past 4 months, Novak's relative age etc. Saying he *will* lose is pretty... extreme.

"How is it thaf the men get a day off before the semis, and the women don't ."

Two of the women semifinalists get a day off before the semis -- the winning women quarterfinalists from yesterday. Today's winners have to play tomorrow without a day off. This is because the sides of the draw are on alternating days, so eventually one half will have to have a day off while the other half doesn't. Or in the men's case, the QF winners from yesterday will get two days off before the SFs, while today's winners will get one day off. They can't really just do alternating mens and womens days at a Slam and have the players on the same trajectory the entire tournament because (1) the men's matches being B05 probably couldn't get through the 64 matches of the first round in a day (maybe, but not with optimal number of high ranked players on show courts), and, more importantly, (2) tennis broadcasters definitely want the variety of men and women every day for the first week and a half.

Past Slams have had the two halves of the draw come together earlier - like all four women's quarterfinals on the same day and all four men's QFs on a different day. Thus, the discrepancy in days off between halves of the draw came between the Round of 16 and the QFs. There's been other arrangements as well.

R403, I too am really curious about the women's final, especially because the two women have never played each other so it's difficult to predict how they'll match up. I do think, though, that Iga has probably played a lot more women who have games similar to Amanda, whereas Amanda hasn't likely faced too many women who play like Iga does. Will be really interesting to see whether Amanda can impose her game on Iga, or if she'll need to make any adjustments in her own game.

AA technically has the tools to compete with, bother, and possibly win against Iga. But I wouldn't count on it on Saturday. Iga looks so good and AA isn't really a great mover and Iga is so good at moving opponents around. If AA can serve well and play consistent first-strike tennis so moving is less of an issue, then maybe. AA pas a pretty good return, but now she's facing a different type of serve. She'll have to take some big cuts on returns so she has a chance at breaking.

Direct entry at the cut off date requires a ranking of 100-105. He's pretty far away, though the point differentials the lower you go down the rankings are SO small that one relatively big result can shoot a player up pretty far.

R566 What?? Everyone's been raving about his commentary. Mainly as it was such a blessed relief from Andrew Castle's dirge.

by Anonymousreply 567July 12, 2025 8:55 AM

Andrew Castle is a typical crashing 'golf club bore' -totally full of himself , and an inveterate name dropper.

The BBC commentary team (men's matches) has become so stale sliced white bread in recent years - Castle, Cotter, 'aural mogadon' John Lloyd, and the boorish boring Johnny Mac. Tim Henman is OK - good insights - but he 's not exactly a scintillating listen. Agassi was like a breath of fresh air yesterday. I loved it when he pulled up Castle for interrupting him with some inane celeb name-dropping when he was in the middle of anlaysine Taylor's performance at the end of the third set.

I hope and pray they have a big shake up next year.

by Anonymousreply 574July 12, 2025 11:51 AM

"Chonky" is a playful and endearing term, often used online, to describe something, especially an animal, that is fat, plump, or chubby in a cute way. It's essentially a more lighthearted version of "chunky" and is often used to describe pets, particularly cats and dogs, that are considered pleasantly overweight.
