2019 Wimbledon...ATP 2000...London, England

Post #1 suggests he's back finals day. Good tournament to pass on. He's missed zero in terms of entertainment so far.

Worst Wimbledon in Living Memory

It's a disaster. The youngsters all fell by the way in round 1 (FAA lasted a little longer at least) and no one has been able to give the Big 3 a game thus far. The main show courts have offered nothing more than demolitions. It's been unwatchable so far other than the Kyrgios v Nadal match. The Big 3 only lost 19 games between them in their 4th round matches. It's ridiculous. Are these guys really that good or is the level of tennis amongst the others just downright low at the moment?

Can someone wake me up for the Roger/Rafa semi final, please? I think I'll check out until then.

To me these 3 are just unprecedented. Think how much worse it would be if there were only 1 or 2 of the 3, any permutation. I am liking Roger to win, but he will definitely have to earn it, going through the other 2

Grass courts looking beat up. Nadal looking comfortable as if he's playing on clay. Bad news for Roger.

Rafa played a brilliant match against Kyrgios. I have never seen him serve so effectively and with so much variation. Both tiebreaks he played immaculately. Rafa is looking really strong right now.

Roger is playing well enough. For a while I thought Pouille looked capable of making their match competitive, but then he folded...shame.

Novak played great against the Polish bloke. McEnroe summed Novak up better than anyone else has so far: ''He's so dependable...his serve, his baseline game, just so dependable".

Last year's semi-final between Rafa and Novak is the best match I've ever seen in terms of one player refusing to yield to the other. I have never seen a match quite like it in that context. I am kind of hoping to see the same again in the final. Who knows? Still a long way to go yet.

it looks like the same ol to me, Novak, Fed, and Rafa

Keep your eyes on Felix... like that kid...

Nadal is just so good. And the way to deal with Nadal is not to talk trash before a match. Nick set the table for this match well. He talked the talk. He got Nadal's full attention. Nadal brings so much intensity, but he seems to have even amped it up a notch. He amped it up at the FO(I think because he lost a couple of matches on clay he did not want to lose leading up to FO). And now Nick. Not much chance of a letdown for his next match. Intensity, work, and talent. Seems to work. Tsonga goes from Tomic to Nadal.

I wonder what the market on number of underarm serves would be? I might make 4/6. Rooting for Kyrgios big time.

I'm predicting Kyrgios beating Nadal.

I would definitely bet on Nick at +310(Nadal is -350). Oddsmakers have Nick at the 8th favorite to win Wimbledon, but I think most of us feel like he is the one player that could beat Novak, Fed, or Nadal here.

Courts/balls too slow this year. Only question is whether Nadal or Djokovic takes the title.

Tomic sure did look bad in going out in 3 very quick sets to Tsonga. Alex and Stefanos going out in 1st round just reemphasizes what we all already know: when Roger, Rafa, and Novak finally leave the game, it will probably be a long time before we see anyone like them. FAA may make some noise here. It would be nice to see him challenge them. Nick looked very good at times(nothing new) but he is just never going to play every point. I have a feeling Roger and Rafa are going to continue to play every point.

Wimbledon! My favoroite fortnight of the year. What a wonderful event. The tradition, the green, green grass. Rooting for Roger. Zverev and Tsitsipas already crashed out in 1st round.
