Couldn’t agree more.
Looking good for Barty now
I’d say Merkle is sick watching Kate do the presentation at Wimbledon.
Kudos to @Tassotti and all his fellow members at the All England Club. What a wonderful Championship they’ve staged this year in such trying circumstances
Incredible scenes here as Barty takes the balcony
BARTY BARTY BARTY!
Well deserved, one of the game’s nice guys*.
*I’m using ‘guy’ in the gender fluid sense.
Two double faults so far from Djokovic in opening game. Break point for Berrettini. Better first serve and it’s deuce.
Djokovic holds despite a horror show of an opening service game. Plenty of chances there for Berrettini.
Berrettini has some fairly notable strapping on his leg. Any word on what the situation is?
I was reading there this morning that Berrettini has won 150 of his 158 service games across this years grass court season of Queens and the Championship. That’s some going and useful form to have going into the final. A good start and on a roll and you never know. Djokovic has been well below par all tournament.
Oh dear Matteo. Should have nailed that one.
Djokovic continuing in the same vein as the Shapovalov game.
Two big missed opportunities for Berrettini in the first two games.
This could be crucial already. Break point Djokovic.
That will be that I’m afraid. Berrettini looks a bit deflated, the strapping not a good sign and the nerves on the big points too.
He needed to strike first here and hasn’t.
Djokovic figuring out the Berrettini serve already. He is the greatest returner of all time. This could be a rout. Berrettini doesn’t have the all round tools to remotely trouble Djokovic, if he’s not blowing him away on serve.
Awful from Berrettini again.
This is a damp squib. Berrettini hasn’t shown up.
Djokovic is winning this slam at a canter without ever having to get close to top gear.
Berrettini has shit his togs. Can’t get the ball over the net.
Chance for Berrettini. Break point.
Break point Berrettini.
