    Berrettini withdrawing was a Massive Blow.
    But a Nadal v Djokovic Classic Final could very well make up for this :50:

    Me too now that I’ve thought about it more.

    Just don’t like the look of this Norrie fella and the fact his dad is a rabid hun nudges it in Djok’s favour - even though he’s a whanker as well.

    Hail Hail Rafa.

    I’d be stunned if Djokovic failed to beat Norrie.

    From a Pure Tennis Fan point of view it would be more of a Dream Final of The Men's Singles if Djokovic v Nadal go toe to toe. The stakes could not be higher and in my opinion it is pure 50/50 Final and I have the sneaky feeling Nadal's 50 is slightly stronger,, but hey what a final it could be.
    As for Norrie he reminds of Jimmy Connors in the sense he just goes for it and never gives up despite losing games and sets badly.
    Oh and back to the potential Nadal v Djokovic final, that Roof Gate back in 2018, what a way for Nadal to close that Gate!!
    On and yes such is the match play quality of Djokovic and as a Tennis Fan as soon as he won that first game in the third Set you could tell by his body language and play he was going to comeback!!

    Medical time out now for Nadal. Not sure if it's the foot or his abdominal issue again.

    Tape on the torso, so looks like it's abdominal. Think he might have to retire from this match.

    The Lance Armstrong of tennis, his house of cards is going to fall sooner or later. A blatant cheat.

    Nadal is an utter monster, not sure how he wins the tournament from here given the injury, but for him to even finish that match, never mind win it is incredible.

    Obviously inhaling something there. Looks well suspicious but surely wouldn't be that daft in the full glare of the cameras

    Which one? Either way both of their names are correct.

    Halep going out is a big shock.

    And Nadal has withdrawn himself, which means Kyrgios goes into a Wimbledon final. Never thought I’d see the day. :56:
