Members Faulkner Posted July 14, 2019 Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 Novak was awful on return. He usually plays Roger so well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 14, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted July 14, 2019 Two of the greatest players just played one of the best Wimbledon finals match. This is why most people watch to see Federer/Djokovic, or Federer/Nadal, or Nadal/Djokovic – best vs best. Was rooting, and had money on Roger, so I was disappointed to see him lose with having two match points on his serve. Novak is only 32? If he stays healthy, he definitely could get to 20+, especially with no future superstars coming up. There’s no reason for the big 3 to retire as long as they keep going deep in grand slams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 14, 2019 Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 Roger is skipping the Canadian Open again. I knew he'd skip it after losing. Though he does skip it a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 14, 2019 Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 This is super cool. I’m sure his reception in Japan will be massive. STAT. How clutch was Novak during those TBs? He really tightened up his game, but Roger really came unglued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 14, 2019 Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 Also, STAT! Can you imagine having to beat all three (including Federer)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted July 17, 2019 Members Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is funny. Federer makes the same play with Djokovic on the left and Murray on the right, with very different results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 18, 2019 Members Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Huge ratings for the men’s final for ESPN. It was the No. 1 broadcast in all of cable Sunday, including primetime. Massive increase from last year, which faced the World Cup, and a huge increase from the last time Novak and Roger played a Wimbledon final in 2015. Men’s Finals Ratings - Wimbledon 2019 Djokovic vs Federer: 0.8 18-49, 3.329 million viewers 2018 Djokovic vs Anderson: 0.24 18-49, 1.056 million viewers 2017 Federer vs Cilic: 0.38 18-49, 1.393 million viewers 2016 Murray vs Raonic: 0.49 18-49, 1.791 million viewers 2015 Djokovic vs Federer: 0.55 18-49, 2.022 million viewers Edited July 18, 2019 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 25, 2019 Members Share Posted July 25, 2019 I wonder how many non-U.S. players could get caught up in this issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 25, 2019 Members Share Posted July 25, 2019 Novak has withdrawn from the Canadian Open. That leaves Rafa as the top seed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 25, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted July 25, 2019 No surprise there. That's what happens with you get two of the best all time players playing in a 5th set tie break for the championship. Speaking of tie breaks, I really think Wimbledon should change the rules for the 5th set again. I would love it for them to go back to "win by 2" in the 5th set just for the championship - there's no next match to be tired for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
