Wimbledon

This 3rd is the opposite of whatever you'd call a quality match.

Both of these women just trying to survive.

Sabalenka seems to be snatching at clear chances and making it harder to execute.

Ace time it seems.

If Sinner get's through and plays as poor as he did yesterday, Alcaraz will 6-0 him across the board.

I can't remember any world number 1 playing so bad anywhere, let alone a grand slam.

He didn't look physically 100%. Dimitrov still played great though.

Shelton has more raw game though, a better serve/FH combo. Can certainly see him giving Sinner problems, even at full health.

Sabalenka will win the tournament. She just has too much fight in her.

Today she just played down to the level of her opponent.

I agree Shelton has improved so much in the past 12 months.

Sabalenka is really erratic.

Not at all

Look at her record in grand slam quarter finals - 12-1

Only Chris Evert had a better record than that after 13 matches (Evert won all 13 obviously)

Norrie (who isn’t really a Brit if we’re being honest) is getting dry bummed on centre.

Sinner was far worse.

British loser losing.

Sinner was far worse.

He was losing 6-3, 7-5, 2-2 to the number 19 seed, a guy that's been a Top 25 player for literally more than a decade

Mate?

He's playing Carlos Alcaraz

Sinner was third in a two horse race.
Sabalenka had the gears to go through but kept snatching at chances, the errors were odd ones. Siegemund played spoiler tennis and it almost worked. Berretini should have won 3-0 last night.

Seems to me that sinner and Alcaraz are basically next Djokovic and Nadal. Who’s going to be Fed?

I think you are misreading Sabalenkas game.

If you watch her regularly you’d realise she often battles through matches in this manner but her overall firepower sees her through. Every match , even against the top players, is on her racquet.

Her record supports that analysis.
