Sinner 2 sets up. Djokovic not his usual dominant self and the young Italian is playing an amazing match.

Gosh it's tense isn't it, one of those matches when it's a shame someone has to lose.

Sinner is doing really well. The game is good but the commentary is dire and boring. Tim Henman again.

Callistemon21 Tue 05-Jul-22 14:54:20

Oh! We're watching the Ladies quarter final too.

Smileless2012 Tue 05-Jul-22 14:52:03

Yep, great minds Grandmadinosaur. Come on Sinner.

Crossed posts but think alike Smileless

Currently watching the ladies but in the updates it said Djokovic is a set down. Long way to go but fingers crossed for Sinner. ???

Smileless2012 Tue 05-Jul-22 14:48:50

Currently watching BBC2 but just heard that Novax has lost the first set!!

It’s great isn’t it Lucca

Had my 5 year old GS here after school last week watching it with me. I told him Rafa is Grandma’s favourite and we were shouting Come on Rafa at the screen ❤️

You'd think that Nadal could afford underwear that fits. He seems to be fiddling with it all the time!!

I do find it hard to forgive his attitude to vaccination at a critical time when it was important for people to be safe. And he is a role model to the young. Highly irresponsible, but I accept his right to make his own decision.
I accepted his right to make his own decision, just not his right to ignore rules.

Come on Rafa you are the Best. ?????

TillyTrotter Mon 04-Jul-22 19:42:44

However …. in this evening’s match on centre court Rafa is looking quite invincible so I would like to see him in the Final ??

Callistemon21 Mon 04-Jul-22 19:17:36

Oh no!

I really couldn't even though Kyrgios is Australian ....

TillyTrotter Mon 04-Jul-22 19:16:25

I cannot support Djokovic if he is in the final - I would have to be behind Kyrgios if it was those 2.
But …… Kyrgios would have to behave or I would just switch off.

Callistemon21 Mon 04-Jul-22 19:16:02

TBH I found some of the commentary extremely annoying
It is, isn't it.

Grandmadinosaur Mon 04-Jul-22 19:05:55

I’m hoping he doesn’t make the final too Luckygirl

Luckygirl3 Mon 04-Jul-22 18:32:44

I just hope he does not get to the final as I will feel disinclined to watch for the first time in decades.

Smileless2012 Mon 04-Jul-22 17:37:50

TBH I found some of the commentary extremely annoying. I mean should we really be impressed that a 26 year old man who is clearly very good at tennis, managed to control himself on the centre court of Wimbledon?

Despite once again flouting the all white rule by putting on his red shoes and red hat when he leaves the court.

Callistemon21 Mon 04-Jul-22 16:13:23

Yes!! Come on Brandon
