Do whatever it takes to prevent novaxx from getting 21

 

[whtascene]

Don't want either Novak or Kyrgios to win.

 

[whtascene]

Such a contrast a ladies final where wouldn't mind either player winning and a men's final where i wouldn't want either to win it.

 

[RUSSIAN CREAM]

Ons on some BS wow

 

[youngwolf]

Chris Evert is so insufferable.

 

[whtascene]

Nice comeback from Elena, could have just crumbled after losing the first set.

 

[youngwolf]

For a top ~20 player, winning Wimbledon without being awarded any points may not be that bad of a tradeoff. You don't have to deal with the pressure of defending all those points a year later.

I was hoping Ons would get the victory, but congrats to Rybakina!

Chris Evert is so insufferable.

Post match, she said she doesn’t consider Iga to be a “dominant dominant“ world number one.

Post match, she said she doesn’t consider Iga to be a “dominant dominant“ world number one.

I hate to say it, but I agree with her here.

 

[you go boy]

I want to see Iga win a different slam besides the French before claiming how great she is

 

[otakuant]

Fair enough.

I just felt like a single loss during the short grass season where Iga was only able to play one tournament (due to injury) shouldn’t take away from everything she accomplished over the last few months.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Don't want either Novak or Kyrgios to win.

I’m sure many in the tennis world agree with you…this is the bad boy final

 

[B Sox]

Nick a psycho man

 

[danger style]

I’m done

 

[nikekid6]

Gyarados always this Whiny?

Gyarados always this Whiny?

 

[kdawg]

He obviously plays well when he’s wound up - but there’s no way that getting that under control wouldn’t improve his game. He definitely made some stupid decisions.

 

[whtascene]

They should just hug it out.

 

[cool...but rude]

Novak winning just makes the Rafa injury hurt worse

 

[otakuant]

Did not expect Djokovic to beat Nick on grass at all. But as a Scumbag Kyrgios hater since Wimbledon 2014, I am pleased the darkest timeline was not created today.

Novaxx’s slam season is (probably) over until the Rafael Nadal Invitation in May next year.

 

[Sinner]

Such a strange final in that NK can be so tricky to play against. Gives you no rhythm and you really don't know what to expect.
He made +70% first serves and still lost the match, which says it all right there.

Odd observation: Those Challenge Court caps bleed green.

That's his hair dye. (srs)

I have that hat in white, pink/fuchsia, and lime green.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Nick would have kicked me out of his box in the 2nd set after I yelled "**** and play tennis already!".

Federer out of ATP rankings for 1st time in 25 yrs

For the first time in a quarter century, men's tennis star Roger Federer is out of the ATP rankings; Novak Djokovic slides to No. 7 despite his win at Wimbledon.
