Hubert is a big server but I can't see him coming back from 2-0 down. Hopefully he wins one set to make it a bit of a match

Yeah I don’t see the match going past two more sets, but I’m just expecting another straights for Joker.

Well that's my girl Kvitova out

Yup, it's always a bummer to watch your favorite players go out..

Whoa! Eubanks upset Tsitsipas in a five setter!!

Men's and Woman's quarters all set up as we go into the fortnight!

D-oh Svitolina upsets the number one seed and recent RG Champion Świątek in a three setter!

My boy Alcaraz marches on

My boy Alcaraz marches on

Yeah he looks good but I dont think he can beat Novak.

Men’s & Women’s semis set up!

Jabeur ousts last year’s champ Rybakina!

Great Wimbledon run for Eubanks - made the quarterfinals of a grand slam (at Wimby no less) and pushed Medvedev to five sets, no easy feats.

Alcaraz looking in good form, excited for his semifinal match against Medvedev!

I think maybe Medvedev - Novak final in the men's, with Novak winning in 4 sets. The woman's is harder to call, Maybe Jabeur but as I say, very hard to call.

I'm sort of hoping for another Djokovic - Alcaraz final, but wouldn't be surprised if Med goes to another final too.

I actually was a bit surprised to see Sabalenka out, but Jabeur pulled through. But yeah tough call on the women's final.

 

[generalszabo]

I'd like a Djokovic - Alcaraz final too

 

[Zurdo95D]

Incredible how Vondrudova is the first unseeded Ladies‘ singles finalist in the Open Era! (Counting the past era, since Billie Jean King in 1963!)

Does anyone wear glasses on the court in Tennis anymore?

I think Tipsarevic wore them, but he’s retired now

edit - Istomin and Hyeon Chung do too

Also I was wondering why you haven’t chimed in more, I assumed you were actually attending Wimbledon and had no time to post

 

[a-dev]

No. And in fact I don't actually watch very much in any case. But if there's any sport I bother to take any level of interest in at all it's Tennis. Or International Soccer tournaments.

Tennis is a nerve-wracking game if you're actively supporting someone, and because of my tendency to support the underdog it can be quite shattering. Underdogs usually do lose

Alcaraz and Sinner for the final

Alcaraz and Sinner for the final

Haha that would be a surprise for sure! I think the last time everyone was hit by unexpected finalists was the 2014 USO when Cilic and Nishikori both defeated Federer and Djokovic in the semis

 

[matrix69]

Old man Djokovic is going down...but it ain't looking good so far!

 

[matrix69]

Alcaraz and Sinner for the final

Alcaraz and Djokovic it is then..

 

[generalszabo]

Alcaraz and medvedev seem quite evenly matched, I'm rooting for alcaraz
