Makes sense I suppose.

Maybe bring it in if the games go to 10 all.

They did actually use a traditional 7 point tiebreaker from 2019 to last year after the final set reached 12-12.

Edit: What a point! :cool:

Kelt · 6 Jul 2022 at 19:30

Wow, what a player!

Stumble Bum · 6 Jul 2022 at 19:31

Eurgh, I don't like this new tiebreaker format. At least let them play some more games first in the final set.

Fantastic match but the only winners today with the length of the match and his injury were Kyrgios and Djokovic.

BeeP · 6 Jul 2022 at 19:35

Great match, hope Nadal gets back to 100%.

Yeh, plus it's hard to see anyone but Djokovic winning, unfortunately.

Can't stand the bloke.

Kyrgios is a bit of a maverick, he could cause an upset if he were to make the final.

Do you mean upset by beating Djokovic or by really, really, really annoying him?

Either way sounds good, both sounds better

A lot of them are old and blind.

No reason not to use automated line calls other than the fact Wimbledon are stuck on the past.

For those who have been to Wimbledon past few years.

Back in the 70s, my mum went there and towards the end of the tournament, the various planters - people could take them home . Doubt this happens now

Jabeur was just toying with Maria in the second set..... :eek:

el_dazza · 7 Jul 2022 at 15:26

She's such a good player and a lovely person to boot. Really hope she goes on to win it.

Couple of questions. How come Kyrgios won his tiebreak on 7-5 but Nadal had to play a first to 10 points tiebreak?

How come Rybakina is playing when she was born and currently resides in Russia?

sets 1 - 4 its a set tie break, to 7
set 5 - it ends with a match tie break to 10

both 2 clear

Same way Cameron Norrie is British.

Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks,

Well Rybakina apparently switched to the Kazakhstan federation in 2018 but still lives in Russia. So I guess she's Kazakhstani by nationality but I'm still surprised she was allowed to compete given that she lives in Russia and was Russian born.

Rafa is withdrawing from the tournament according to Sky Sports so Kyrgios will get a bye to the final!

Saw that coming. He should have let the other guy win.
