When did they bring in tiebreaks for the final set?

Shows how much I follow tennis these days.

This year.

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:

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

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

What was krygios beef with the line judges(don't know if correct term for them).....

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.

Guess it wasn't a magic Nadal injury recovery then...

Gutted for him

Pigeon_Killer · 8 Jul 2022 at 17:09

Djokovic’s level hasn’t really improved much, he’s barely needed to get out of first gear. Norrie’s just completely flat now.

Pigeon_Killer · 8 Jul 2022 at 18:04

It'll have to be Kyrgios then.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 14:09

The fact they're sort of friends is disappointing, still good chance of fireworks but would've like to see him chasing Djokovic around the stands if things didn't go his way.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 14:35

Very mature performance so far, plenty of people have lost their **** playing the Greek cheat so I don't hold it against him.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 14:42

First set Kyrgios, if I was a gambling man I'd bet on Djokovic breaking immediately after he's held serve.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 15:17

Backhand immediately after the whipped forehand is a bit net happy today.

Edit: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... bang! Kyrgios explodes on take off.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 15:26

Massive game this, Kyrgios has to hold.

Edit: Yeah, his backhand is really off today, injury perhaps? Usually gets far more power.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 15:48

Code violation for swearing.

Woman shouting when he's serving, fully agree with him on this occasion.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 15:52

That forehand just obliterated the doubles line, he's annoyed

What has she done though?

Was purposely shouting the second he was about to serve, did it a few times in that game.

She should be removed and beaten.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 15:57

This is where the lack of coach massively costs him, that woman shouting has scrambled his brains and he's got no one in his box to reassure and calm him down.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 16:00

There's no doubt he's got a bit of a nasty streak but 9/10 the only difference between him and Murray, when he's ranting, is the odd swear word.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Jul 2022 at 16:17

Considering the fact he lost his head completely, he still only lost that set by a single break.

Seems like a great way to get a 10 minute break and let Kyrgios stew for a bit in his own juices.

This, nothing more than tactical imo.
