Calm down Kyrgios

tickingbird Sun 10-Jul-22 15:21:34

He’s off. He’ll lose if he carries on because Djokovic won’t lose his composure like Tsitsipas.

fairfraise Sun 10-Jul-22 15:03:43

Fritz, Norrie and Nick K all seem to have been more relaxed at changeovers than their older opponents so far.

tickingbird Sun 10-Jul-22 15:01:40

He’s starting to chunter. I hope he holds it together.

Sweetpeasue Sun 10-Jul-22 14:42:51

No prob for Kyrgios there.

merlotgran Sun 10-Jul-22 14:41:23

Pretty good so far!

Feelingmyage55 Sun 10-Jul-22 14:28:47

I’m watching and enjoying the match so far. Both men are volatile on occasion. Novak has smashed lots of racquets and shouted, then is nicey nicey in the interviews. However main thing is they both play exciting tennis.

Shan't be watching today either but must say this Wimbledon has rekindled my enthusiasm for the game. I've found it an exciting couple of weeks. Thanks Tilly. You certainly gave me a kick start.

Sweetpeasue Sun 10-Jul-22 14:06:46

Kyrgios for me too---I think--so far!
Don't really like either.
How can they move in that heat? ?

nanna8 Sun 10-Jul-22 14:06:11

Go Kyrgios! Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie oi oi oi

Smileless2012 Sun 10-Jul-22 14:03:28

Me too tickingbird so much so that the tv's on but I'll be popping in and out during the match, because I just couldn't stand to see Novax win again.

It's been a great Wimbledon fortnight made even better by having this thread so 'thank you Tilly.

Enjoy the match everyone.

Parsley3 Sun 10-Jul-22 14:02:59

I too don't like either of them but I would prefer Kyrgios to win just because. ?

tickingbird Sun 10-Jul-22 14:01:13

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I want Kyrgios to win. I’ve loathed him, gone on to like him, loathed him again after the Tsitsipas match but now grudgingly think he deserves a win.

merlotgran Sun 10-Jul-22 13:10:13

I’d like Kyrgios to win…if he behaves himself.

maddyone Sun 10-Jul-22 11:15:50

I don’t like either of them so as far as I’m concerned it’s a pity they’re the two finalists.

Millie22 Sun 10-Jul-22 10:26:53

Difficult day indeed when you don't like either of them. I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually want Kyrgios to win. A bad Australian or someone who was bad in Australia.

Missing Rafa ☹

JenniferEccles Sun 10-Jul-22 10:01:47

Men’s finals day!
I think probably quite a few people would agree with me when I say I don’t really like either of them.
Djokovic, well it’s all been said about him and how people struggle to warm to him.
Kyrgios is a brat, there’re no two ways about it, and I am definitely more a Roger Federa/ Tim Henman type of woman, but on balance I’m going to be rooting for Kyrgios.

It’s going to be pretty hot out there for them isn’t it?
Our outdoor weather station (in the shade) is showing 22deg. already. We’re about twenty miles south west of Wimbledon.
It should be an interesting match. As one sports writer in the paper said, it depends which Nick Kyrgios turns up as to how things progress !

Grandmadinosaur Sat 09-Jul-22 14:04:58

I don’t always watch all the build up but DH put it on for me thinking he’s being useful but had to turn it off. All that droning on.
Back now.
I’m team #Ons

MrsKen33 Sat 09-Jul-22 13:04:45

Just put TV on for the ladies’ final. Some pouty woman is going on about ladies ‘ levellin’ up. What! No thanks. I ‘ turn it back on when the proper match starts

Cam played so well! It was a great match.
As I dislike Novak even more than I dislike Kyrgios, I shall be rooting for him, K, to win .... and I never thought I'd say that!

Same here! Who’d’ve thunk it…..

Lucca grin

Lucca Fri 08-Jul-22 18:15:55

Resurrected from
Corrie !!

maddyone Fri 08-Jul-22 18:09:05

Norrie even

maddyone Fri 08-Jul-22 18:08:53

Oh no, so disappointed that Norris didn’t manage it. sad

Sweetpeasue Fri 08-Jul-22 18:07:44

So disappointed but Norrie did so well in this tournament.
Not sure how I feel about the final. Not enamoured with either player.
