Rybakina sh!t the bed. 

Paolini vs Krejcikova it is. Krejcikova is somehow even more irritating to me than the other Czech Barb, Strycova.

I got to watch the first women’s semifinal on replay and found it entertaining. So often tennis commentators overuse the phrase “contrast of styles” but in the case of Paolini vs. Vekic, this really seemed to be the case. The 2nd semifinal, I watched some of it on replay but it was kind of on in the background while I was multitasking. I know a tennis fan who would faithfully buy a pint of strawberries before every finals weekend of Wimbledon and the amount of enjoyment she would derive from her strawberries seemed to have a direct correlation to the quality of the matches, especially on the women’s side. Hopefully wherever she is now, she will have thoroughly enjoyed her strawberries by the end of the weekend.

After visibly struggling with nerves in the last game, Barbora Krejcikova finally managed to close out the match and win the Wimbledon final against Paolini.

@Soapsuds, you’re the ratings guy, do you know what the ratings were for the Finals?

The men's final was down from last year. The women's final was slightly up.

Sunday’s three-set Carlos Alcaraz-Novak Djokovic men’s final averaged 2.2 million, down 31% from last year’s five-set matchup of the same players (3.2M) and a three-year low.

On Saturday, the Barbora Krejčíková-Jasmine Paolini women’s final averaged 1.4 million — up 9% from Marketa Vondrousova-Ons Jabeur last year (1.3M) and the most-watched women’s final since Serena Williams’ last appearance in 2019 (2.4M).

 

Btw..

I didn't watch either final. That's how bored and uninterested I am in tennis.

I watched the women’s final and at least it was reasonably competitive, it was anyone’s match until the final few games. I saw some of the men’s final and it seemed fairly predictable. I still believe that ESPN, in particular, is ruining tennis for the most part. Viewing is piecemeal and unpredictable. The Slams are foolish to have sold exclusive rights to ESPN or dull TC, for that matter, especially streaming rights. How many years must we suffer through the McEnroe brothers?

Patrick McEnroe is just awful. He was a horrible player, coach and announcer.

I'm sure the bias Hall of Fame will put him in. They are already pimping to get in Brad Gilbert who never should be in it!

John Isner will be next! Watch!!

Whoa, if they do that, the HOF will be diminished. The only way Brad Gilbert could realistically make a bid for the HOF is as a coach i.e. contributor. It certainly won’t be for his commentary or interviews.
