Tennis: WIMBLEDON nearing the end

[JaneJeffer]

Even Tim has gone over to the Alcarath side - he was still calling him Alcaraz just before the match

The extremely forced pronunciation of Alcarazzth is really putting me off. Why is someone not having a word? Never thought Andrew Castle could get worse but it seems I was wrong.

I just have to get my Andrew Castle hate out there
don't think I've ever met anyone who likes him

Well that was pants.

Novak is destroying him!

Surprised he's not moaned about Alcatraz shouting

Glad the crowd have been told to shut up, clap by all means but stop screaming

Oh dear

Could Andrew Castle be any further up Djokovic's backside. His sycophantic commentary is making this almost unwatchable.

Is it too much to hope for a competitive final

Vamos Carlos!

I can't believe the difference between world no 1 and 2 with no 2 doing the thrashing!

Hoping Carlos is going to recover now !

I had really high hopes for this... so far, very disappointing. Hoping that it's just nerves and Carlos warms up. With a vengeance.

Come on Carlos!

New set, new start

That’s more like it Carlos !

I always find it weird when the person who wins the toss chooses to receive. Surely getting a game on the board first is an advantage and why wouldn't you want that?

Is losing the first a strategic play?

Is he starting to warm up?

It's really windy here and I find the constant noise of that so oppressive. Add that to Carlos crumbling under pressure in the first set, and Djokovic's incessant bouncing of the ball and I'm feeling a little stressed right now.

That double fault has helped a bit, mind you.

Come on Carlos
Novaks taking longer then usual to serve

My mum thinks he's nervous too so maybe it is just that.
It doesn't come across to me that Carlos is nervous though

The Alcarazzzth pronunciation is absolutely ruining the enjoyment of watching this match. It’s so forced, unnatural and unpractised. The slight pause before being able to get the word out. I am fuming. Might put the radio 5 commentary on instead (and reduce my blood pressure)

Carlos needs to start bouncing the ball 100 times on his serve

The ball bouncing is really irritating!

Ooo nice
