Tennis

Schoolkate having concentration issues, this is where he finds out what it is like playing top line players, hopefully he can stay focused.

He obviously has the game, he just has to be able to execute it for the full match.

Great player though for a 6' tall competitor, like de Minaur he wont get a lot of free points, unlike the 6'4" + guys.
 
so far, so good
.
....and haven't the commentators changed their tune
Well that's the difference between de Minaur and the rest of the Aussies, de Minaur still realises that winning takes a huge mental and physical commitment, it's not as easy as the Australian media would have you believe where it only takes a wish.
That's life, if it was easy to be successful everyone would be successful, I've found that unless luck or poor morals are involved, hard work, sacrifice and commitment is the major component

Well Victorian sports spectators showing their lack of class yet again, booing Djokovic when he retired from his match, absolute muppets.

If he is hurt, which presumably he is, because he has never shown an inclination to throw in the towel previously.

Why would he keep playing, if he knew that he would face a more prolonged recovery and may actually cause enough damage at his age to end his career.

The game he was playing was against Zverev and they were both playing long rallies, therefore the match would have been extremely physical and Zverev had won the first set.

Djokovic may well have been playing under duress and even if he had won the match and caused a career ending injury, he then would have had to front up for another tough match in the final.

Maybe some of these muppets should get of their fat lazy arses and find out what a physical injury feels like, rather than paying money and expecting someone to ruin their lives for their entertainment. 🤬

From Djokovic's perspective, better to stop and have a chance of recovering for the next Grand Slam, than to have a career ending injury just to entertain the Victorian public.

Let's be honest the Victorian muppets didn't Boo Chairman Dan and he has left them with a lifetime of misery, Djokovic only left them two hours short of a entertainment show. :rolleyes:

That display at the AO was Aussie entitlement at its best IMO.

It has not gone unnoticed outside of our own shores. What has happened to us? We have always been good sports until recent years. ( I have thoughts)

 
Sinner proving his ranking.
Great win over Zverev, di Minaur can take pleasure knowing the World number two didn't do much better than di Minaur himself did.
 
highlight of the tournament ... Madison Keys racing to 5-1 in the first set, and holding on for a tight three setter. And it was the grand final!

Sinner is the new force; the blokes haven't worked out how the respond effectively
 
Jordan Thompson is playing outside his skin
nursing a back injury and through to the final 16 at Wimbledon. ... he will play Tommy Fritz.

Also, the Demon is through to the third round as is our newest Aussie, Дарья Сергеевна Касаткина , call me Dazza, TimTams Vegemite Oi Oi, .. she was a Russki. Both play this Saturday night

That's great news, I'm away at the moment and limited access to news, which has its good and bad points. ;)

But it's great to see Thompson and De Minaur through, a couple of great young blokes, who have the guts to dig deep.

Thanks for the update @Dona Ferentes

Hope you are enjoying your cruise. ;)

Unfortunately Thompson had to retire injured from his Rd16 match.
 
watching de Minaur take it to jokovic.

a set a-piece and 3-3

4-4

might be a long night
