I was at a concert so didn’t watch but my point is that Ruud hasn’t beaten Djokovic or Alcaraz on tour yet despite several attempts and lost two slam finals when the going got tough last year. I may be wrong but I don’t see that changing here. That said, he’s a fine player, quick and agile round the court with a heavy forehand

    alistair seems to remember Lendl being in Ruud’s situation a few times… he didn’t turn out too bad. Ruud v Alcatraz final woukd be excellent, but you can never tell in tennis? Maybe Zverev will win it?

      Ridiculously high standard of tennis from both already. Could live up the hype

      Dan has Djok’s forehand got even better? Amazing to think he’s still improving in certain areas (serve too)

        Dan some statement that. I have never seen a more aggressive Djokovic. He was relentless and just wore him down. think he will beat either of Ruud or Zverev on that performance

          Dan hate to say I was right but it looks like Djokovic has got his number (like he does with everyone). History now being made

            Let’s go Andy, he is in slightly better shape than me for same age.

              alistair I thought he was well finished with injuries, great comeback none the less.

                Taxi for Evans….. Too much class from that French Chap.

                  Dan Pity we won’t see Evans’ girlfriend soon again 🔥

                    I wonder what attracted her to the short, balding millionaire ?

                    Taxi for Ruud, hopeless on grass

                    Some match this. Both players on form. Tsitsipas’ inside in forehand is a sledgehammer

                    Dan Inside in is a legit shot and he was using to great effect. It was misfiring later though. Murray’s successful first serve % in set 3 was crazy

                      I used to love tennis - I think Murray and Federer sucked the life out of it for me. A day out at Wimbledon is good fun mind, so it’s lucky I’m on Court No 1 tomorrow
