Wimbledon Week 2 continues

[JaneJeffer]

I don’t think he’s going to play

Sunday could be the first final where I’m cheering Djok on (unless Cam does the business tomorrow!)

At least this way there will always be a cloud over Kyrgios’ achievement, people will question if he would have reached the final if Nadal had been able to play.

It feels like such an anticlimax to have those two in the final 😓

I want them to air the press conference

Yes it does Ice - maybe Norrie will rescue the situation but it’s a big ask - not sure if I’ll bother watching if it’s a Djok/Kyrgios final

It does seem such an anticlimax after the drama of yesterday’s match - poor Rafa

Cry cry cry cry cry

Awww Rafa 😥😥😥 I want to give him a big hug. But realise that would probably hurt his tummy but he looks like he needs a hug

Oh I love him even more

Oh I’ve missed all this

Norrie to play Kyrgios then, good luck to him

I will be rooting for Djok if it’s NK v him in final

That was heartbreaking! He came across has such a nice humble chap.

Marsha Nick automatically goes through to the final

The other semi is between Djok and Norrie

Poor Rafa

Oh I see thanks for update

what a shame

I've just got home- I have just seen the news.
I expected it , but so sad

That's a real shame about Rafa.

The mixed doubles final is a superb match.

Bloody Kyrgios.
If he ends up winning, everyone will be in raptures over him- and he does not deserve it.

Rafa is doing the right thing though-heartbreaking though it is - or he could be out of action again for months. Which might still happen - but this gives him a better chance.

And I'm sad about Halep. But well done Elena.

So disappointing 😔

Feel very sorry for Fritz as well, he’s got to be thinking about what might have been.

Also, much as I dislike Kyrgios, I don’t think anyone really wants to get to a Grand Slam final via a walkover this late in the tournament. Anti-climaxes all round.

Rafa can concentrate on getting better and becoming a dad - I hope he makes it back for the US open- Djok shouldn't be there, hopefully!

It would have worked so much better if Cam Norrie had got a freebie to the final!

Oh well it's one less match for the beeb presenters to waffle on about Kyrgios.

Feel really sorry for Fritz too. It went to the wire in yesterday's match, it literally could have gone either way, and if Rafa had retired, he would have had a chance to play.

I've really enjoyed the doubles today.

I can't believe I'm writing this but I want Djok to win against Norrie, I just don't think Norrie has the experience to beat Dick.

Sheesh, a name change I think

Yes, with hindsight Rafa should have retired during the match to give Fritz a chance. However I guess he hoped that if he could make it through yesterday he would be able to play again. I’m sure that if he knew for sure he wouldn’t be able to play Kyrgios then he would have retired and let Fritz go through.

Agree Chessie

Although having a long break maybe good for the body but not for the mind.

Yes with hindsight it would have been best for Rafa to retire and give Fritz a chance in the semis but I think Rafa just lives in the moment and he was just playing to win the match - hope he has a nice rest now with Xisca and his family

The only time I want to actually watch some of the tennis from today and TAW is not showing the women’s semis - I suppose I can’t really complain as they’re showing the live doubles. Hopefully this year is the end of TAW - it’s been a bit pointless this year!

Did anyone see Rafa leaving Wimbledon? He was hugging everyone and having photos with the people on reception etc - he’s a good human person

Yeah ! Win.
To the mixed doubles...one 1/2 was a Brit !!
