Opening game of second set and Jabeur loses her service game. Loss of concentration after winning the first set perhaps?

A good hold now from Rybakina and this could become a contest.
 
Jabeur difficult hold to keep it at 2-1 down on this set - she could easily be 3-0 down. Rybakina starting to look more like she did to win against Halep. Jabeur needs to get back to 100% fast
 
Rybakina takes the second set 6-2 and looks back up to her best level. Jabeur looked distinctly underpar there. Jabeur opens the third set and she needs to find her game again fast.
 
Rybakina serving for the title 5-2 up. She's been solid since winning the break at the start of the second set. Jabeur looks down.
 
Rybakina is the new Wimbledon champion.

Jabeur's concentration/confidence failed her at the vital moment. Far too many errors and Rybakena just far too strong against Jabeur as nerves kick in. Looks like Rybakena is sitting down ready to play a couple more sets. Does someone need to tell her she won :lol:
 
Rybakina, what an awkward lady :lol: Looks very shy

Great comeback, her height advantage came into play as well.
 
I felt sorry for the ground officials desperately trying to get her to do something at the end of the match.
"Go and hug your family"
"Throw your sweat band into the crowd"
"Maybe a little dance?"
"A wave?"
"something?"
"...anything..."
 
The winning lady is clearly not used to display her inner self, which is a slap in the face of Wimbledon’s hyperboles, superlatives and gloss. We will surely be luckier tomorrow, from that perspective. :wenger:

Yep. She had her game face on and it worked great for her all match. It was just funny to see it after it was over, as if hadn't been part of the game plan for that to happen :lol:
 
As the top comment notes it seems she was shocked rather than being cold :lol:

 
Alfie Hewett 4 - 1 up and serving in the final set of the Wheelchair Tennis final. Was two shots away in the second set but was pulled back.
 
I think Djokovic will take this in 4 sets but if Nick can stay focussed for the whole match, he can win.

Unlike Sinner and Norrie, Kyrgios' serve can help make him keep it close which those guys just weren't able to do.

I think we'll get one or two tiebreaks and in the big moments Djokovic will prove decisive but Nick definitely has a real shot.
 
Nick seems to be in the mood for clowning, this might be a straight sets beat down.
 
Novak's lack of power and serve could cost him here. Nick will always trouble his serve, but he will have 2 or 3 such chances on Nick's serve in whole match I reckon.

He doesn't even need that. If he can take sets to a tiebreak, he'll likely hold his nerve better, similar to the match against Federer where he didn't really trouble him on return service games in 2019.
 
Everything points to a Novak win at this point. You have one of the most unstable and erratic players in Tennis going up against the goat of mental toughness. Anything short of Novak winning this would therefore be a massive shock.
 
imagine how he talks to his family in private, the pieces of shit.
 
He didn't get the early break of serve but Djokovic is reading Kyrgios' serve now and getting his returns in deep.

Kyrgios needs to calm down and start serving better and hold serve comfortably.
