    Not the most stellar year for Wimbers.  Half the field decimated by injuries and Russia related bans. Despite which a Russian (to all intents and purposes) wins the womens’ and the two most detestable players on the planet reach the final of the men’s.  Hopefully Kyrgios has a meltdown, questions the umpire’s parentage and provokes Novaxx into a fistfight resulting in the championship being declared null and void. I’ll be watching the golf.

    Thank heavens for Magic Weekend.
    I don’t even have to think about this final.

    Something I thought I’d never say 😞

    Would be pretty funny if Djokovic, after getting level with Federer & Nadal, misses the next tournament, loses in the 2 after, then misses the US Open too.

    Just a shame that Kyrgios is the opponent.

    Kyrgios coming across like a twat nearly making me listen to this on radio, rather than watch.

    Kyrgios getting riled up about a woman in the front row talking at him between points.

    Ump: ”Which one?”

    Nick: ”The one that looks like she’s had about 700 drinks bro”

  • How comes footballers can play in noise but tennis players can't? Noise doesn't seem to affect technically good players like messi, ronaldo ect.

    A solo game versus a team game is very different. Not really a like for like...

    Kyrgios shouldn't have any problems with one spectator. Not when he wants to take on the world anyway.

    Big game, that.

    Losing the game for the 2nd set from 0-40, and then losing that from 40-0 were both killers.

    I really want both of these two to lose!!

    Can't see Kyrgios bellowing at his box like a petulant child and not want him to lose.
  • If he spent more time focusing on his tennis and less time arguing with the world he might have actually won a slam by now. The talent is clearly there but his mindset is clearly what has prevented him from going from top 20 in the world to that next level.

    I've always been so surprised that Andy Murray gets on really well with him

    They seem such polar opposites

    Djokovic is an unlikeable person, but as a sportsman/athlete he’s one of the greatest. He’ll win this match and he’ll fully deserve it.

    All that shouting and bellowing at his team was more than cringe.

    He is a great athlete and you have to admire his dedication. Kyrgios just comes across as a twat...

    Enjoying this. Kyrgios comes across as a prick, but it is good to watch. Geezer is mad as a box of frogs

    a boring big headed twit, if he kept quiet he might well be a lot more consistent and successful

    Tennis games have been known to go on for hours. Often 5-10 hours. Hearing the ball against the raquet and grass, plus the need to keep concentration during long periods are probably my guess.

    One thing for sure, Kyrgios shouldn't be allowed to go on how he is, in respect to the opponent.

    Imploded in this tie break.
  • Wow...Don't really follow Tennis, but this Kyrgios fella is a proper twat

    I feel like I do quite like Kyrgios for the amount he annoys the tennis purists and particularly the commentators. He's a dick, no question, and I'd hate to be an umpire with him around, but he winds everyone up by not being what people expect tennis players to be and I find that hilarious given there's no other situation where people expect the standard of human behaviour that's expected in tennis. If it wasn't for the domestic violence stuff I think I'd quite like him. Or maybe it's because Djokovic is just so unlikable
