    Yeah that's pretty common across the tour. Always gets criticised too. I feel bad for the players that actually just need a pish. :56:

    Silence from the crowd after Djokovic breaks. Get it right up them.

    Norrie buckled under pressure. Knew it.

    Pity Nadal had to pull out, he was the only likeable one left IMO

    He just doesn't have the same level of quality to beat Djokovic at a slam. His backhand is so flat.

    Will kyrgios be able to serve underarm in front of Royalty box on sunday? Or he'll have been told not to by his coaching team

    Kyrgios will give Djokovic a very good game in my opinion. Providing he doesn’t let the nerves get the better of him.

    Yeah if Nick wise up and totally focused then he can give Nole a very good game.

    I’d actually back Kyrgios to win. Djokovic has looked on and off.

    Djokovic is so good at forcing his opponent hit another shot to win the point.

    Experience might play a part. I could see Kyrgios perhaps getting too nervous. He admitted as much in his interview that he was very nervous about his semi. Of course it’s only natural to have nerves at the business end of a tournament, but it’s a fine line between complete buckling due to them, or them spurring you on.

    I could see Kyrgios totally losing the plot though

    Always that possibility. That’s why he is great to watch.

    His red white and blue racket didn't help him. Another hun loser. GiRFUY.

    This. They are so annoying. Most grand slam tournament crowds are, to be fair.
