Re: '22 Wimbledon Day 12 OoP & Discussion
I only saw the first set where Norrie won and it seemed to me that Novak was feeling things out at first and then he must have picked it up to win the next 3 sets.
The main thing for Novak in the final against Nick Kyrgios is how he is going to return his huge serve. If that becomes a problem for him then Novak is in trouble. If he finds a way to handle it then he should win the match.

BUT, with Krygios' shoulder issues- how big will he be able to serve? Having a few days off can't hurt.

Once in a while very unexpected players make GS semis. Vladimir Voltchkov, anyone?

Had to look him up. Totally forgot about him. You are right.
And: Jerzy Janovwicz, at the time we all thought he was going to go very far.

Norrie is not a superstar but he will be underrated for his entire career.
His draw was good, but I watched him win 14 of the last 16 games against Steve Johnson in the third round and beat Tommy Paul in straight sets while playing beautiful tennis. I have always felt that people make ironclad judgments on players and then refuse to watch them play, because it is hard for me to see how anyone could have watched Norrie at Wimbledon and not been impressed.
He does not have the weapons of a slam champion, but he is getting the most out of the game he has and is a winner. I expect him to be in another slam semi in the next few years.

FAA, meannwhile, will be Wimbledon's biggest loser if Djokovic beats Kyrgios.
FAA lost to Cressy who lost to Sock who lost to Kubler who lost to Fritz who lost to Nadal who defaulted against Krygios.

LADIES' INVITATION DOUBLES - ROUND ROBIN
K. Clijsters (BEL)/M. Hingis (SUI) v V. King (USA)/Y. Shvedova (KAZ)
My favorite match of the day. Great to see King/Shvedova on the court. Shvedova is one of my favorite players ever. Watched that golden set against Errani with amazement way back when!
