Sinner been real impressive this Wimbeldon.
Some ginger kid is kicking Alcaraz's butt.
Sinner vs Djokovic could be an interesting QF, if not only to gauge his progress. I still find Sinber a little one dimensional but it would be facinating to see if he could bring anything different vs Djokovic.
He reminds me a bit of Rublev (and Khachanov to a lesser extent), a good player and will have a good career but lacks variety. I think he'll be better than them but hope he can show more, especially against the top guys.

No Manic Monday.
In the other news, Tiafoe and Goffin are playing already for 4 and a half hours.

Only just realised Norris is seeded 9th (world 12th).
Q/Finalist now too. Chance of that too

50% of Tommy Paul's forehands are miss hits.
Nice to see the emotion from Norrie.

What a great match this is turning out to be, I wonder if Novaks game will even be finished today.
Make no doubt about it, genuine future talents here. Sure they are flawed, but that's age.
Alcarav has no right to this complete at 19, capable of competing on any surface already. He's in extremely rare company in that regard.

Absolutely, you can see the lack of experience in his game but at the same time amazing talent.
I think if Sinner maintains this level he can give Novac a good game in the QF.
Bold move by Rijthoven to get the Shermanator as his coach.
Shame he loses his serve right away.
This will be a quick one.
Lovely depth of ball from Rijthoven this game.
Not playing that bad so far, but typical that Djokovic pulls through every time so far.
Get in son.
Rijthoven game looks really good.
Meeeeh
Really like the look of Rijthoven. He looks like he could stick around. His backhand is very hit and miss and he slices far too much but that can be worked on.
From what I saw, that set score doesn't reflect the actual match. Rijthoven has done well
I thought that
.As is the case for 99.99% of the field. Tim's just not solid enough to challenge Djokovic.
Bloody good match, this.
Djoko broken in the second
This dude is surprisingly good.
One more hold. Go on then.
Tennis, bloody hell.
Lovely tennis.
This servebot is actually pretty good.
feck me does Djokovic ever miss a fecking return when he gets his racquet on it
If he can up his first serve percentage he has a chance here because he’s getting looks at Novak’s serve.

Poor Rijthoven. Got broken early in the 3rd with the linesman calling him out twice in a row incorrectly.
6-0 in both remaining sets probably.
This will still end before curfew tonight.
Surely line calls aren't too hard to automate?
Van Rijthoven seems content he's won a set here.
Stop with the short balls you numpty, it just makes you look goofy while being lobbed effortlessly.
I like that McEnroe thinks that the level of respect due to these players is to refuse to clap a double fault, but absolutely not to do even a semblance of research in advance of the match.
