2021 Wimbledon.

[nuraman00]

Men's Draw:

Djokovic's Quarter:

Djokovic vs. Kevin Anderson 2nd round: I hope it's a good match. I haven't seen Anderson in a while so I'll say Djokovic in 3.

Djokovic to the SFs.

Tsitsipas' Quarter:

No one looks scary here.

I don't think Andy Murray will get to the QF, but I don't know who will, so I'll just say he does.

Tsitsipas vs. Murray QF: Murray, coming back from injury, is unlikely to be ready for Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas in 3.


Zverev's Quarter:

Berrettini vs. Isner 3rd round: Isner gets the edge on grass. Isner in 3.

Isner vs. Zverev QF: Rooting for Isner, but it will probably be Zverev in 3.

Medvedev's Quarter:

Cilic vs. Medvedev 3rd round: Might be a reach, but I'll say Cilic in 4.

Cilic vs. Federer QF: Federer in 3.

Djokovic vs. Tsitsipas SF: I hope it's a good match. I will say Djokovic in 5, although it will probably take only 4 sets.

Zverev vs. Federer SF: Federer in 3, because of the mental edge.

Djokovic vs. Federer Finals: I think Djokovic wins this in 3, but I don't want to pick against Federer, given that I want another resurgence. So Federer in 4.

Don't let it get to tiebreakers, please. Because he sucks in tiebreakers against Djokovic. But sadly there will probably be a few. And this is where he will likely lose it.

Women's Draw:

Barty's Quarter:

Barty vs. Andreescu QF: Andreescu hasn't been past the 2nd round of any major other than her US Open win. Barty in 2.

Svitolina's Quarter:

Gauff vs. Serena 4th round: Gauff in 3.

Gauff vs. Svitolina QF: Gauff in 2.

Kenin's Quarter:

Karolina Pliskova vs. Kvitova 4th round: Pliskova in 3.

Pliskova vs. Kenin QF: I think I'm wrong, but I'll go with Pliskova in 2.

Sabalenka's Quarter:

Swiatek to the SF.

Barty vs. Gauff SF: I think Gauff will play well, Gauff in 2.

Pliskova vs. Swiatek SF: Swiatek in 3, but hope I'm wrong.

Gauff vs. Swiatek Finals: I think Swiatek could run away with this one. But I'll say Gauff in 3.

Gauff has shown enough promise the last few years, that I think she'll play in a GS Finals soon, at least within a few years.

Serena is unfortunately not going to win like Federer but if both are healthy they can make a good run at USO.by that time Fed would have had enough matches under his belt. The Felix loss has to burn inside for him to change some things in the game especially the serve.

Men's Wimbledon Preview: Can anyone derail Novak Djokovic's quest for a calendar-year Grand Slam? | Tennis.com

The man who came closest to knocking off Nole at the last edition of Wimbledon, Roger Federer, might still have the best chance.

Some good first round matches

 

[Hs0022]

Murrball playing some good tennis in the start of fifth set.

 

[Hs0022]

Now 5-2, fifth set. Murray playing better tennis than Fed in my opinion.

 

[Hs0022]

Federer drawn needlessly and hypnotically toward the gasquet backhand almost everytime he is trying to create an opening. It’s like looking at a swaying cobra.

 

[Hs0022]

At least he is up a set and a break. This is a familiar foe for him. It’s the unknown nobodies that are giving him trouble.

 

[Hs0022]

Second set to Fed 6-1, looks like familiar business vs BabyFed.

 

[Hs0022]

Both Gasquet and Federer have seen better hair days. Gasquet is visibly balding like Nadal but Fed has the receding hairline.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed serving for match at 5-4

 

[Hs0022]

7-6(1),6-1,6-4

 

[Hs0022]

Djoko fell twice. He leads by two sets and is down a break in third now. Wonder if he will take injury time.

 

[Hs0022]

He just held serve so I guess everything is fine.3-1 Kudla serving

 

[Hs0022]

Want kudla to win at least one set.

 

[Hs0022]

Kudla’s non playing slo mo looks better than the slo mo of his shots.

 

[Hs0022]

Cilic vs Medved is the real popcorn match, kyrgios fizzled out in two sets.

Didn't know Wimbledon was ending Middle Sunday after this year.

Why All England Club is ready to put Middle Sunday in the rearview in 2022

Along with all-white attire and strawberries and cream, Middle Sunday has been one of Wimbledon's oldest traditions. But beginning in 2022, the off day will go away. Player reaction is mixed, but the change is a long time coming.

In general, yes. Except when he's lost to Dmitrov and Del Potro at the USO in recent years.

There's both pros and cons.

Pros to having no middle Sunday mean that the fans get to see every player alive on Monday.

Cons are that when the schedule gets backed up, there's too many matches to cram in during the 2nd week.
