    Fantastic final in the wheelchair doubles.

    A masterclass from Djokovic well in control so far.

    He just lost the 2nd set and has just had his service broken twice in the 3rd.

    And then disappeared for 7 minutes......

    Again.

    I was wondering whether an extended toilet break, feigning injury or the 'magic bottle' would come first.

    Djokovic is severely unlikeable. Think he will win now but hope not.

    He'll never be the goat for me.

    Too many suspicious breaks/injuries at crucial times.

    Just can't take to him

    Amazing game of tennis. Really hope Alcaraz wins. Haven't wanted someone to win so much since Murray.

    Lots of people can’t take to him.

    The talent however is undeniable,

    How many others have won more grand slams ?

    Doesn’t mean you have to like him. Federer was a better winner and a better loser.

    So does that make him the GOAT because he is likeable ?

    I think a lot of people would argue Federer is the GOAT.

    Brilliant player, unusual foe a Spaniard, who are brought up as base liners.
    He will dominate in years to come
    Hope Novak has at least one more in him to surpass Rafa

    Djokovic already ahead of Rafa I thought? 23 to 22 Major wins.

    What a player Alcaraz is . Don't think you'll see anyone hitting so many winners against Djokovic in a grand slam final . He's got a dangerous combination of power and accuracy and his backhand is almost as deadly as his forehand .

    That Alcaraz berrettini match was superb. Alcaraz definitely going to win quite a few majors in his career.

    Not so sure Tennis has a clear GOAT.

    Nadal is better on Clay than anyone else has ever been on any surface IMO. Roger and Novak probably better all rounders, although suffered less injuries than Rafa.

    Honestly been a pleasure to watch all 3 in their peak years.

    Todays final was exceptional. CA could win many, many titles.

    I can only really imagine Sinner competing against Alcaraz in the next few years
    It is almost unbelievable that CA has only played on grass 4 times, yet beats Novak to win Wimbledon
    The lad is exceptional

    Guys like Connors, McEnroe, Nastase we’re not exactly likeable
    They were all numbers 1s in tennis for a reason.
    They had a will to win which lesser players couldn’t match
    It’s a very hard sport to reach the pinnacle

    Great to see the tide turning at last. Could Alcaraz be the one to equal Laver's record?

    Sinner and Rune will keep improving too. Exciting times ahead.
