TENNIS thread - into the second week of Wimbledon

[Fizzywinegum]

new thread! Sorry for the unoriginal title

Jan Kodes! He's one of my go-to 'Pointless' tennis question answers.

Great start Grigor!

Grigor really has started well.

Iga had a bit of a wobble, but is back on serve.

i didn’t have hopes for Grigor. Great start though.

Hopefully Grigor can maintain his good start.
I was so disappointed that Novak won despite losing the first set so heavily.

Even Grigor looks confused

This is very surprising! I would love Grigor to win but there’s a long way to go…

What is up with Sinner?

He’s been down The Dog and Fox

Grigor is playing a really smart game, not allowing Jannik to get into any sort of rhythm. He’s also serving extremely well. Jannik hasn’t really done anything wrong, maybe a few more unforced errors than usual, but he’s allowing Grigor to dictate play.

Sinner has a great record against Grigor - but they've never met on grass, which is a surface Dimtrov's game is made for.

I still think Jannik will probably win this, but he's having to play against a Grigor he hasn't played before- he has the perfect game for.

Maybe he is suffering physically too.

Oh, he's called the physio.

Uhoh tennis elbow?

ouch - that looked uncomfortable. The physio is a bit rough.

Sounds like it’s from when he fell in the first (?) game

As far as I could see he didn’t fall on his elbow but maybe something snapped

This is not what I was expecting

Gosh I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jannik scream like that.

Iga got through easily in the end.

Jannik on the come back trail.

The Italians who were not in Court 1 for Sonego, have found their voice for Sinner.

Oh no now Grigor is down!

Now Grigor is down! Heck.

This is all a bit dramatic really. I hope they’re both ok.

Woah.

Well done Iga

Wow go grigor
