Tennis #3 🎾

[JAR21]

There's still loads of time for types like Holger or Lorenzo to come through. But Casper and stefanos may now never win a slam.

This is only the second final Novak has got through to this year. With the state he looked in the QF I'm shocked he got through. Best of 5 sets is going to be tough on him.

BIB Good!

Is there any upcoming Brits to look out for or was Andy Murray our best?

Jack Draper. Andy has backed him too.

I’m still holding out on Draper coming good, made the 4th round of the US open last year after a year of injuries. Seems to have got better at his mental game this year with winning his first title and beating Carlos at Queens. Just needs to learn how to play in temperatures hotter than a nice British spring day.

I hope he does but I have a horrible feeling that Novak will win it

I don’t know - he seemed utterly bewildered during the Wimbledon final (apart from the random 10-minute interlude where he briefly pulled it together)

I'm worried he'll be really on-it as he might be a bit meh at winning another Wimbledon. But finally getting a gold has been mission #1 for years.

I honestly don’t think he has the energy for three or more sets this week. Carlos will overpower him at some point. Or simply outplay him, like in Wimbledon.

 

[Suzesnooze]

I’m sure he’ll try his injury tactic in the hope of disrupting the match when Carlos is winning.

That would only work (as it had this week) if they were playing best of three. But even then - I don’t think
his tricks work on Carlos. And I think he knows it.

So happy for Musetti!

 

[londongirl2001]

Yay Lorenzo! You could tell how much that medal means to him.

 

[coconochanel]

Come on Carlos get that Gold medal

 

[Ros79]

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Carlos can save tennis for the 3rd time this summer.

 

[Restless Native]

Novaxx is looking up for this..

 

[veronica71]

I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t do for Carlos if he smiled at me like that

 

[Restless Native]

Carlos looks like he had would have a really hairy back and shoulders

why?!?! why would you say that?!?!!?

 

[Restless Native]

why?!?! why would you say that?!?!!?

Just because he looks very hairy.

Not that a fancy him anyway he's younger than one of my nephews !!

My husband has and is very self conscious of it so will never go ‘topless’! My sons have also inherited it.

I've inherited the hairy gene from my mothers side !. So I can somewhat sympathise.
