Wimbledon 2022

Post by Lost »

Djokovic on bbc1 at the minute. Two sets and 5 -1 up so shouldn't be long. Then Emma Raducanu will be playing her second round match on centre court. She's not had a good run since winning the US open, so not hopeful she'll progress far, but will be cheering her on nevertheless. :D

Not properly watched the men's game for quite some time. No players I really like, only watched Raducanu when she was on. But just watched the Kyrgios/Tsitsipas match and was reminded just how much better the men's game is. In every aspect: power, precision, agility...

What a match!

I've had a little think about it, and actually he's not that bad.

Kyrgios faces assault charge

https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2340 ... lian-paper

Australian tennis ace Nick Kyrgios will face court after being charged with assault, his barrister told reporters on Tuesday.

The news broke as the 27-year-old, one of the most polarising yet exciting figures in tennis, prepared to enter the quarter-finals at Wimbledon on Wednesday.

Police in the Australian Capital Territory, where Canberra is located, released only a brief statement on Tuesday evening without identifying the player.

"ACT Policing can confirm a 27-year-old Watson man is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates court on the 2nd of August in relation to one charge of common assault following an incident in December 2021," the statement said.

Barrister Jason Moffett told the Canberra Times that his client was aware of the charge.

"It's in the context of a domestic relationship," he was quoted as saying.

"The nature of the allegation is serious, and Mr Kyrgios takes the allegation very seriously."

The barrister said Kyrgios would not comment because it was a court matter but would release a statement "in the fullness of time".

The world number 40 will face Chile's Cristian Garin in Wimbledon for a place in the semi-finals.

It will be Kyrgios's first quarter-final at the Slams since the 2015 Australian Open.

Didn't catch the rest of the Djokovic match as realised Cameron Norrie was starting on court 1. Down two sets to one at the mo but he's still well in it. Would be excellent to have a Brit in the semis.
