Djokovic for me :). I like Berrettini too but long term Novak fan. I know he’s not that popular but I met him once (not at a tennis event) and he was nice to me and especially to one of my dc.

Berretini for me, Novak has won so many grand slam titles and I always tend to go for the underdog if I have no other affiliation.

And I can really relate to his Dad, my dd plays sport at a decent level and I fluctuate between shouting my head off and covering my eyes. 🙈

Supporting Italy…. Matteo is very easy on the eye too!

Berrettini for me. Love an underdog.

Berrettini 🎾

JessieOh · 11/07/2021 14:27

I also predict that if Novak wins, his evening will go something like...
"Well there we go, another win for me, that was expected wasn't it! Can we grab some chips on the way home before watching the footie?".

Whereas if Matteo wins, he and his family will have a huge emotional response, full of joy, tears, and celebration. He'll get himself sorted before watching the football, and when England win, he can bask in the daft he gave Italy something to celebrate about today. Smile

*fact, not daft.

DramaAlpaca · 11/07/2021 14:28

Anyone but Djokovic.

I'm supporting Italy for this one.

GirlAloud · 11/07/2021 14:28

When it comes to tennis, I’m ABD.

Anyone But Djokovic.

InglouriousBasterd · 11/07/2021 14:28

Matteo all the way!

Berrettini to win for me. I find it gets slightly boring when the same players win time and again.

MarshaBradyo · 11/07/2021 14:34

Yes would like Berrettini to win but Djokovic is very hard to beat

Americam · 11/07/2021 15:02

Ah poor Novak, only me in his corner!

Bertettini is young, he’s got lots of time to win stuff. Novak’s got records to break/equal and time is cracking on!

Novack but I'm cheering Berrettini atm as I want a decent match 😅

musicalfrog · 11/07/2021 15:05

Would like Berettini to win then I won't feel so bad about Italy losing tonight Grin

Yolanda524 · 11/07/2021 15:06

Italy all the way today, this afternoon and tonight 😜

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 11/07/2021 15:07

Anyone but Djokovic here too.

MargaretThursday · 11/07/2021 15:12

I don't really mind, but with the crowd thoroughly on one side I think I'm leaning towards Djokovic.

I've heard some lovely personal stories about Djokovic. Someone was telling me the other day how their ds was working at Wimbledon one year and he'd done a couple of Djokovic's matches, and at the end of the second, Djokovic came up to him and said thank you, and handed him his towel saying that he had noticed him both times for doing a particularly good job.

Thunderpunt · 11/07/2021 15:12

I love Dojokovic..... but as I have an Italian DH would like Berrettini to win, in the hope that we win the football!

GrouchyKiwi · 11/07/2021 15:14

Berrettini.

I am also an ABD. He's a fantastic athlete, brilliant at tennis, but I cannot stand him.

Americam · 11/07/2021 15:22

Bertettini’s box is full of stylish looking people. I want his mum’s hair and shirt!

Still want Novak to win though!

OK now that's enough for Matteo come on Novack 👊

Horehound · 11/07/2021 15:27

It's time to pass the torch....so berretini for me

Pinuporc · 11/07/2021 15:29

Berettini here just because it would be nice for someone new to win.
I'm not a huge Djokovic fan but actually he went up in my estimations when he was interviewed after the semi finals and was really complimentary towards shapovalov and gave him loads of credit which not all players do to their opponents

Horehound · 11/07/2021 16:54

Djokovic always has a sour pus. I just cannot warm to him.
He doesn't like it if another player gets cheered, he has a bee in his bonnet if he doesn't get a cheer but he just has an heir of cocky twat about him it's no wonder he doesn't!

I don't think Matteo is going to win but I really really want him to!
