    Great tennis watching Hurkacz v Djokovic 3-2 first set

    Can’t see past another grand slam for Djokovic.

    Sinner can win...if you like a bet I'd go for him, prob best odds. Djokovic favourite. Alcaraz obviously a chance too.

    Funny women's final so far, doesn't seem like either one of them can win a game on serve. Think they're both bricking it.

    I've seen Jabeur bottle it before, not great to watch. Feel for anyone in that position but it doesn't make for a good final.

    Men's final more like it, I don't mind women's tennis generally but that final yesterday was total ****e in comparison. Djokovic looking uncharacteristically wobbly, by his standards anyway.

    He's not happy with the crowd or the umpire <laugh>
    - I hope that Alcaraz wins anyway
    Great match so far

    Can't stand Djokovic, arrogant prick.

    Really hope Alcaraz wins

    Same here, I'm not much of a Djokovic fan myself and Alacaraz is good to watch and seems likeable.

    I do feel a little bit for Djokovic though, I think he's genuinely perplexed and hurt by how strongly the crowds are against him. Brought it on himself over the years of course.

    I agree he's a great player, he doesn't help himself with all of the antics. It was good to see that this umpire had the balls to pick him up on bouncing the ball 20 times before each serve.

    Yeah painful to watch isn't it. Same with Nadal although in his case he's got the excuse of it being an OCD tic or whatever.

    Aye every opportunity for gamesmanship taken for Novak. Funny how he's only ever injured when he's losing.

    Whatever he did in those six minutes seems to have done the trick...

    Yeah he'll know what to do and tell himself to get himself back on track. Might be the case that experience beats youthful energy on this occasion, he's almost twice Alcaraz's age which is mad really when you see how similar their fitness levels are.

    Wimbledon is getting itself a new crowd favourite here. It helps that Djokovic is a prick but they are loving Alcaraz.
