2026 Men's Wimbledon Championships

I don't know, this is a much lesser Novak than I've seen. This isn't the Novak of 2023 and before. He looks like he's hurting and tired. A top 10 player playing at a solid level should beat him, but FAA keeps making all these stupid errors.

I think Felx is doing what everyone does against Novak. They get so involved with staying with him from the baseline rallies; Only Carlos and Sinner have the levels to their game to bother Novak.. You have got to do what Frontz did at RG make him uncomfortable by giving him a change of pace.. Serve and Volley.. Body serve.. YOU Cant play Novak's game or you will become just another victim or notch on his tennis belt.

And how can they close the roof now, when there's A RULE... (MargaretMcAleer)...

IMO, Novak may have complained, but closing the roof has always helped him going back to his win over Nadal in the 2018 SF! He was floundering at the time w/ his arm & marriage, getting upset again & again! That Wimbledon turned it all around w/ him finishing up #1 after taking the USO as well!

Yes it is a bit funny hearing him complain about interruptions...which he is the master of...

If they keep this up they will not be finished tonight...

Novak making more noise than a toodler with a wet diaper.. good grief

Felix is playing this tbr the right way;; Get out of those cc bh exchanges with Novak during his first opening .

FAA wins the 4th set tiebreak 7-4, and we go the distance!

Well I have a workday tomorrow so I guess I'll wait till the morning to see how this turns out.

This is how Novak loses! He went into "lockdown" mode instead of attacking & FAA didn't fold; hangin' w/ the old guy in those CC rallies!

Blame Sascha for coming out so weak & dropping that 3rd set to Lehečka! He should have been in and out real quick! Took all that extra time!

It is just unbelivable. Felix gave every single point himself to Nole. Nole just set there, accepted the gifts.
Congrats to Sinner on his finals.

Just watched the deciding breaker. Ok, the two players were tired, but... c'mon, the level was abysmal. No offense, no creativity, and still a lot of UFEs.

I feel for Felx.. That dude gave it his all.. Very proud of his effort.. I think he has finally turned the corner and is hopefully ready to make the next step up..

This one is going to sting and it should. You just cannot miss rally shots in a final set TB. You can't. I understand if you are going for a winner and miss. YOU CANNOT MISS RALLY SHOTS IN A FINAL SET TB !

Yes Sir .. its a tough loss but another good learning experience for Felix.. Had he played and hit with those patterns he did in the 4th set.. he would have won the match.. I hope he doesnt beat himself up about this one, Novak was tough today.. I will give him all the credit in the world.. He did what he had to do
