Grand Slam Wimbledon 2024

[LukeParkerno1]

Olympics too

Meh as long as he’s fine for the US swing that’s the main thing. Olympics carry zilch points fairly sure

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Said he heard a loud crack in his hip (Which was a small tear in the cartilage connecting to the adductors)

And it wasn't on match point it was during the last 3 points

May not even play the Olympics now

If he has any brain (I’m sure he and his team do), he will be resting for a couple of months he’s had a big schedule got to 6 in the world can now relax his schedule

Disappointing news to bring you as Alex de Minaur has confirmed that he has had to withdraw from his quarter-final match against Novak Djokovic because of a hip injury.

A statement from the Australian ninth seed read: "Obviously not an announcement I wanted to make by any means. I am devastated to pull out due to a hip injury, a little tear of the fibre cartilage that kind of is at the end of or connects to the adductor.

"I felt a loud crack during the last three points of my match against Fils and got a scan yesterday and it confirmed that this was the injury and with high risk of making it worse if I was to step on court."

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least the women’s quarters won’t be on at the same time that’s a positive

They've now moved Barty and Dellacqua's Invitational doubles match to Centre

Which would probably be Barty's first match on Centre Court (Of any kind) since the 2021 Final

Channel 9 relieved

Channel 9 just played the alex vs joker ad lol

 

[pepsi]

That's shocking luck for Alex. Feel really sorry for him.

Sure but if you asked me to name even the last gold medalists in tennis wouldn’t even have a clue. Not that I rate him in terms of winning a slam but if you get to a top 6 seed it gives you every chance if you get an upset or two. His game suits the US Open

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Please play the preview again ch9 for the lols

 

[Plugger35]

What a let down that is, he didn't look good at the end of his last match but he seemed confident he could get up for this match.

 

[JackNah_8]

It's a shame De Minaur couldn't play today.

Easy draw for Novak lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

These womens matches look awesome

Going
Kreijikova in 3
Rybakina in 2

Men’s
Fritz in 4 (zero idea though haven’t seen either play this tournament Taylor is the better player though)

Still has to face Carlos/Med that’s hard enough

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

This farking sux wouldn't beat Novak anyway imo

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Novak vs Carlos final repeat yes please

 

[Plugger35]

Novak vs Carlos final repeat yes please

I'd like to see Medvedev beat both of them, he was impressive beating Sinner last night even if Sinner was hampered by injury.

 

[Whiskers]

Disappointing but expected. Pulls up lame, doesn’t celebrate and shaking his head at the players box.
He probably hoped to play through it but can’t beat Djoker doing that.

 

[MrBarry]

Novak vs Carlos final repeat yes please

Would have troubled him imo and the crowd would have been all in on ADM. I saw that one going 5 tbh.

 

[matt_897]

Ah **** this sport

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Was looking forward to de Minaur v Djokovic, ahhh well, get an earlier night at least

 

[matt_897]

Hopefully regarding the Olympics that they replace his doubles spot with Rinky (who’s actually in the singles draw) as that was the only medal chance. He was never a medal chance in singles anyways

2020 Zverev
2016 Murray (awesome tournament. JMDP beat Novak in the first round, and then made the final, in front of his "home" Fans. Would love a Masters down in South America one day)
2012 Murray
2008 Nadal
2004 The Chilain..? or Kafelnikov (It was Massu 2004, Kafelnikov in 2000)


Girls Wise, I can't think of who won the gold in Toyko. (looked up, Belinda Bencic....Damn, that is a name I havent heard for a while. Had her daughter in April. potential super mum if she returns.
2016 Puig (and that is her career)
2012 Serena
2008 Dementieva....(Yes, no idea how I remembered that and not 2020)
2004 No idea.

That was fun.

In saying all that, I do agree. Something like this injury needs to be rested above all else. Look at Murray... Maybe just play Mixed, so you can say you are an Olympian and experience an actual games, without putting strain on your body. Also, more rest. But I guess it depends on the injury and recovery time.

ADN missed 2021 due to Covid.Would be cruel to miss Paris as well

Well done to Elina Rybakina making another SF.
