milky_26 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Just now, jonesy said: I don't understand the 'arrogant' comments about ND. It was Federer that walked out to centre court in monogrammed pyjama-esque clothes. Nadal who grunted his way to grand slam titles. Each of the champions could be considered arrogant or annoying in their own way. ND always seems humble enough, but has made a few mistakes along the way, as have all the top players. Loved it when he beat Federer last year at Wimbledon, and seeing the Hooray Henries looking suitably subdued. I think ND gets a lot of stick as he's from Serbia as opposed to the more 'acceptable' Spain and Switzerland. djokovic when things are not going for him likes a medical time out as gamesmanship to put his opponent off. And in this game he should have had another warning for hitting the ball in anger, but not hitting an official. It is in the rules about defaulting for what he did. Pretty much all current and former players are saying it is the correct decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a smug ‘Robin Williams’ lookalike who is equally as arrogant as ‘The Serb’. Nadal? Remember these wee toy faces (made of rubber) that you could buy? You could scrunch them into ugly wee things?

Randy Marsh Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I player born post 1980's will finally win a slam. I reckon the winner from the Thiem v Aliassime match will have a good chance of winning the tournament. If Aliassime won it then a player born in the 2000's would win a slam before a player born in the 1990's.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The line judge's reaction was quite Lennonesque. When playing tennis at school, I hit a serve which hit a guy square in the knackers.
