But the telling stat was the longer the rally, the far more likely Djokovic was to win the point. Only person who beats Djokovic is often Djokovic. 2020 US Open for example. Or injury.

Little Nemo Jul 2023 8:29pm, 12 Jul 2023 13,663 posts	0 Little Nemo Eubanks v Medvedev was a cracking match - I had to go off and do some stress-dusting when it got to the 5th set! I wonder if Wimbledon will make an announcement re handshakes if we end up with a Svitolina v Sabalenka final? It was really horrible to hear the crowd booing Azarenka when she hadn't done anything wrong.
paulcook Jul 2023 10:26pm, 12 Jul 2023 2,976 posts	0 paulcook Looking forward to Medvedev vs Eubanks tomorrow - 6 foot 6 against 6 foot 7! Last four, 6ft vs 6ft 6, and 6ft2 vs 6ft4. Probably not far from norms, especially when you can pick a far from unreasonable final quartet who would all be 6ft 5+. I'm struggling to find a top player shorter than Alcaraz even those who don't seem that tall are still giants.
Meglet Jul 2023 10:34pm, 12 Jul 2023 23,641 posts	0 Meglet Really liking the change in scheduling to put the quarters over two days, and have men’s and women’s on the same day. Is this new or did they do it last year when they opened middle Saturday. I’m also enjoying the highlights show, they’ve cut out a lot of waffle and analysis and even the dead time between points to fit more tennis in.
