Time for a 10 minute long toilet break for Novax I imagine.
The game isn't going to continue like this. Djokovic can't play any worse can he?
Second set Djokovic 6-3.
Djokovic will win this in 4 sets.
Can't disagree and he's miles away from his usual standard. This is as poor a game as you'll see.Quote:

Also great to see the match taking place on Court One.
Third set Djokovic - too easy.
All over now.
Djokovic breaks in the first game of the fourth set.
Djokovic serving for the match.
Game, set and match Djokovic.
Djokovic v Kyrgios in the final.
I thought Novac was a preening, arrogant prick today. Eyeballing individuals in the crowd and mocking them. Idiot.
That would be an apt description of him at all times.Quote:

Yeah I used to play it many years ago (although nowhere near Wimbledon standard!) and it probably doesn't look very easy to play and I can assure you it's even harder than it looks! :greengrinQuote:

Their attempt to win an 11th Grand Slam title in a row is now in serious danger.
Reid and Hewett break straight back!
Never discount Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett in a men's doubles Grand Slam!

Outstanding - Reid and Hewett win 6-3 1-6 7-6!
Great match and a brilliant advert for disability sport.
Hope they can go on and lift the title tomorrow for their 11th Grand Slam in a row!
Great stuff. Hope Hewett can do the double.Quote:

The top players are full time professional athletes and training just as much as their able bodied counterparts.Quote:

Alfie Hewett voiced his frustrations yesterday that his singles match v Gordon Reid had only been on Court 14 and I think he had a point, especially when the invitational matches, which are effectively just exhibition events, were on the larger courts 2 and 3.
Seeing tonight's match live on Court 1 and live on BBC2 was a huge step forward for disability sport - these players deserve the exposure.
Sadly Reid and Hewett got hammered in today's men's wheelchair doubles final.
Elena Rybakina beats Ons Jabeur in three sets to win the ladies' final.
Really enjoyed the ladies final, which can often be a bit flat if it's won in two sets. Virtually no celebration from Rybakina but she spoke very well afterwards, as did Jabeur.
Men's doubles final goes to a fifth set.
