And how come the media have access to all the Hawkeye calls and the Umpire doesn’t? Not an issue when most of the line calls are good, but there have been far too many bad calls this year. Gerry Thorn emails in: “.when a player challenges, is persuaded not to by the Umpire, and the commentators then report that the ball was in? That was Jabeur in yesterday’s women’s singles finals. a Kyrgios handbags episode resulting in the umpire - or his own box - finally delivering a well deserved kick to his goolies / Djokovic getting a catastrophic, match-ending bout of Omicron tummy requiring a resignation from the bowels of the Wimbledon bogs.”ĭjokovic holds to love, nice and easy for him. I’m praying for a suitably undignified finale e.g. Richard Chandler: “I’m struggling to recall another Wimbledon final where I’ve been rooting for both players to somehow lose. Sad way for Kyrgios to blow perhaps his best shot at a Grand Slam title, if he keeps distracting himself with his own colourful obscenities and rageful taunts.” That’s probably the difference between a temperamental talent and a world-beating champion. Some big serving and more muttering, and another tennis rabona, and it’s 40-15, and then 40-30, and Kyrgios starts to wobble again, only this time to crash home when Djokovic can only lay him up for a serve.Ībhijato gets in touch: “As much as Djokovic gets a bad rep for losing his cool sometimes, he almost always keeps it when it truly matters.
