Yeah that was during prime Fedal years. They would accept him as a joker in the lineup not someone who threatens the status quo. Once he started doing that, he became enemy no 1. The vaccine refusal became overblown because of two things - 1. pushback from the world govts - Aus and USA in this case. 2. western fan hatred got its new avenue to give cover

Gollum Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Rematch, Djokovic vs Alcaraz final, may end up watching lol. Saw few minutes of Alcaraz vs Medvedev yesterday. Alcaraz is much younger, fitter, faster, more firepower, better player, should win. If Nole wins, he'll be the oldest ever grand slam champion beating the Aussie legend Rosewall. Stacks against him, hasn't been good this year and fitness/age concerns....but one thing in his favor will be Centre Court crowd against him, siege mentality Nole is a different beast, he'll use that negativity to bring out the best in him. Want Nole to get past that hag Margaret Court's overall record of 24 majors. Real McCoy 1
Gollum Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Nole can go past Sampras and tie Federer in terms of number of Wimbledons won. Also his 10th final here, 37th final overall, what a well rounded career Rank Country Name Grand Slam Finals 1 SRB Novak Djokovic 37* 2 SUI Roger Federer 31 3 ESP Rafael Nadal 30 4 USA Ivan Lendl 19 5 USA Pete Sampras 18 6 SWE Bjorn Borg 16 7 USA Jimmy Connors 15 7 USA Andre Agassi 15 9 USA John McEnroe 11 9 SWE Mats Wilander 11 9 SWE Stefan Edberg 11 9 GBR Andy Murray 11
Gollum Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Spanish supremacy Could be double joy for them on Sunday, Wimbledon champion as well as Euros champion. Less invested in tennis (like both guys !!!), but please don't lose to the English in Euros Real McCoy and Vicks57 1 1

Want Nole to get past that hag Margaret Court's overall record of 24 majors. I dozed off in the middle of the match yesterday. Medvedev had no answers to Alcaraz after the first set. Once Alcaraz found his rhythm, there was no stopping him. I suppose the same would hold true for Sunday though I expect a tighter contest than yesterday. Don't really care who wins but for the sake of tennis' future, I would want the younger Alcaraz to win and cement his place as the next big thing. He is already. This wimby will be another step in the right direction for him and the rest of the young gen like Sinner. I do care what happens in the Euros. Hope Spain reconquista England and beat the poms black and blue Gollum 1

Gollum Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Alcaraz should crush this version of Nole, maybe 4 sets if he loses concentration early on. For a 21 year old his game is so complete, better than 21 year old versions of Big 3 (except Nadal on clay of course). Real McCoy 1
Real McCoy Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 Such a damp squib in the end. Then I realized that Djokovic is returning from a surgery. I don't think Djokovic could have threatened Alcaraz even if he didn't undergo surgery. Alcaraz is the real deal hopefully Sinner steps up to the plate to begin a new rivalry. We are deeply in need of new rivalries to keep tennis transition from the big 3. We are witnessing the twilight of the big 3 with Djokovic flopping (now twice) in Wimbledon. Djokovic reaching 25 GS wins really looks bleak with the next gen stepping up. ravishingravi, Gollum and velu 3
coffee_rules Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 The power of youthful exuberance winning over frailing experience. If Nole can reach the top in a Grand Slam event , he can push it till another couple of years or so. US open next.

Amazing They have the money, the diet and the weather advantage - and a very good pedigree in sport. Nothing compared to Aus or NZ though. They are the true sporting giants IMO.
Louise Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 (edited) Navigating the world of online casinos can be tricky, especially for newcomers. To ensure you avoid fraudulent sites, start by checking reviews from multiple sources and looking for licenses from reputable authorities like the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission. Reputable casinos often have transparent terms and conditions and use SSL encryption to protect your data. One site worth exploring is https://mostbets-sri-lanka.com/promo-code/, which offers detailed information on Mostbet’s casino and sports betting options for Sri Lankan players. While they don't host games themselves, their insights can be invaluable for finding trustworthy platforms. Always remember to gamble responsibly and look for sites that promote fair play and have positive user feedback. Edited July 23, 2024 by Louise
Gollum Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Wimbledon 2025 Men's SF lineup: Sinner vs Djokovic, Alcaraz vs Fritz Ladies' SFs: Sabalenka vs Anisimova, Bencic vs Swiatek Nole's 14th Wimbledon SF (more than Federer !!!), not bad for a 38 year old (also F in Melbourne, SF in Paris)...also 100 wins in Wimbledon, joins Fed who had 105 wins here.
Gollum Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Alcaraz wins 4 straight points, takes 4th set 7-6 and books a spot in the final. This should have been a 5 setter.
