Well I saw Nick K talk for the first time today and he sounded just like any other player. He plays tennis well. So who knows.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 08-Jul-22 18:06:30

Yes Cam did himself proud.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 08-Jul-22 18:05:53

I won’t be watching the final. Worst case scenario for me.

Sparklefizz Fri 08-Jul-22 18:04:29

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!

Don’t know who I’d rather support, two brilliant players but anti-vax and fibs v bad attitude and gamesmanship.
Maybe I’ll just sit in the sun with my Pimms and my book.

Novak has never won a set against Kyrios......wow!

PamelaJ1 Fri 08-Jul-22 17:56:38

? so now it’s the naughty Australian against the man that was naughty in Australia.
Should be a good match. I will be watching on a big screen.

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Jul-22 17:54:49

Cam can hold his head high, he played well ❤️

PamelaJ1 Fri 08-Jul-22 17:44:48

Come on Norrie!!!

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:58:30

Has Novak put his lucky hat on for this set?

Smileless2012 Fri 08-Jul-22 15:56:56

Is this some kind of ploy from Novax? Still can't bring myself to watch.

Grannybags Fri 08-Jul-22 15:52:15

And breathe…!

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:52:09

Now Cam has taken the set ? !!!!

tickingbird Fri 08-Jul-22 15:51:59

Wow! Come on Cam.

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:50:15

Sorry, meant he is serving for the set - the excitement has overcome me ?

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:49:04

Norrie has got fire in his belly !
Superb first set ?
And again in the next set Cam ?

Sparklefizz Fri 08-Jul-22 15:15:51

Come on Cam!!!!! You can do it!!!!!!

Pittcity Fri 08-Jul-22 11:56:02

We saw Elena Rybakina play her quarter final on Wednesday and it was a hard fought three set match. I wasn't expecting the walkover in the semis against Halep.
I agree that they should've let Fritz play again.

Cheering on Norrie later!!

Grannybags Thu 07-Jul-22 21:32:42

So disappointed for Rafa.

It will be interesting to see how Djokovic reacts (assuming he beats Cam Norrie!) if Kyrgios starts his antics

gulligranny Thu 07-Jul-22 20:51:52

I agree that Nadal should be looking after his health and therefore he should have retired yesterday, thus allowing his opponent the chance of playing in the semis. Big disappointment for those who've got tickets for tomorrow plus a bit of a nightmare for the organisers, not to mention you-know-who getting a bye and therefore a good rest before the final on Sunday.

Jaxjacky Thu 07-Jul-22 20:37:19

It’s disappointing, but he has his priorities right.

Fleur20 Thu 07-Jul-22 20:24:18

Just sickened that Kyrgios gets a bye into the final though!

Hope Nadal is okay long term ... such a gent...

Grandmadinosaur Thu 07-Jul-22 20:16:17

So disappointed it had to end this way for Rafa. He’s given his all and I’m gutted.

Callistemon21 Thu 07-Jul-22 20:12:15

I've only just seen it!

It must have been repeated just for me ?
