2023 Wimbledon Championships

[Napoleon 8659]

I don’t know who needs to be the one to tell this to the Medvedevs, but doctors can’t remove these things these days.

A comment that I am 100% on board with.

Didn’t watch the women’s final live. I am now watching the recording. 

The roof is closed and the A/C must be cranked, because Marketa Vondrousova has had physical reactions that can signify that a woman is cold for the entire match. 

It’s somewhat distracting for a lech(er) like me watching on a Saturday afternoon.

Missed it too.
 

Here’s some retired Federer content. I’ll always be a big fan.

It’s turned into quite a match now. 6-6 in the tiebreaker for the second set. The Spanish kids needs this

[dcar00 14147]

wow. 1-1 going to third set

the heir apparent vs. the goat.  I don't really care who wins but if Alcaraz does it will be epic.

Hell of a fun match! 

[shadow_operative 15932]

I think, because the amount of emotion he used to pull even he really needed to win that second set, or it would most likely have been a quick end.

Now, the crowd seems to be on the kid’s side as he is up, 1-0 in the third. Interesting stuff for sure.

Up, 2-0 in the third. What a turn of events this has become.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

McEnroe said something very interesting a couple minutes ago. He said that Novak is now playing someone who is very similar to himself.

[dcar00 14147]

big hold...

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

This is really interesting tennis.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

I’m rooting for Novak but, I would not be upset if a young guy, like this fellow, finally came along and grabbed his opportunity and didn’t let go.

It’s inevitable, I suppose, unless Novak wins another tournament and then retires while on top.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

The unforced error shots for Novak over the end line are something.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

I hate these fucks who yell right as a guy is ready to toss the ball on a serve. They should be punched.

[NAVY 6740]

God this is great drama. 

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

This game is bananas. Whoever wins it is winning the match.

We’ll see how big his balls are now.

We’ll see what happens but, we know his history, they are pretty big. This kid might have bigger ones today. It makes for great sports that’s for sure.

[shadow_operative 15932]

WOW! that was intense. LFG!

I made breakfast during that game..  and ate it

[lockport 55]

Anyone know if the match is streaming? I'd love to watch it but don't have ESPN unfortunately 

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

It sure would be fun to see a 5th set.

what a final. this is awesome. 

[Lord Melbourne 24]

Alcaraz turning up the power in this 5th set. More winners but also more errors than Djokovic

[dcar00 14147]

joker no like losing

[Lord Melbourne 24]

And there’s the break, Djokovic smashes racket. Crowd boos. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Dumbass fucked his wrist. 

[dcar00 14147]

joker definitely f'd his wrist up a bit.  that might be enough if alcaraz just keeps the ball in play.

People really hate Novak, and I’m right there with them.

Used to as well, but have too much respect for his athletic ability and accomplishments. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

i don't hate novak, but i love to root against him. especially when he's playing alcaraz. 

[NAVY 6740]

Amazing final! Wow 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Finally a next gen player defeated Djokovic

If Alcaraz wins he’s on the fast track to challenge for GOAT status in 10-15 years barring injury or Tiger Woods like off court issues.

Let’s see if he can do it and catch Djokovic. I still think Novak has one or two more slam wins in him. 

[TonyTexas 10504]

Alcaraz is going to win a shit ton of Grand Slams. 20 years old with not much competition on the horizon. 

[YChang 3441]

Fuck yeah! Way to go Carlos.

[Napoleon 8659]

Don’t know how that Kate chica can walk on grass with those spiked heels. They do make her look tall as shit.
