RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Wow! I didn't think anyone would beat Djokovic on Centre Court but credit where credits due Alcaraz was superb. He must love grass as a surface now. Played two tournaments on grass and won both Queens and Wimbledon. Perhaps more players will start to realise why it's called LAWN Tennis.

Markthehorn Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Incredible final What a match and performance from Carlos . Particularly after losing that first set. Great skill and mental attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) So much credit for Alcaraz for coming back in the 5th set when momentum shifted away from him for a bit. Hopefully these 2 can have a few more battles before passage of time takes over. From what I have seen they are the best by a distance.

RedorDead BCFC Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Fantastic game of tennis. Nice to see someone new win it. Until he won there was only three active players to have won Wimbledon, and one was injured and retiring this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look a right knob in your replies...making out you're the otib expert on tennis. Thankfully some don't reveal their hand on it. Maybe have a think, before you look an even bigger knob on the subject. Some have actually enjoyed the final and just expressing their appreciation. No need to be the know it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
