Wimbledon 2022 Day 14

Last day of Wimbledon and Novak Djokovic has done it! He's won the men's championship. Well done!👏👏👏👏👏 He's pulled away from Federer with his now 21 Grand Slam titles.🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Congratulations, Novak!

What can one say? Djokovic certainly deserves this one after the trials he's been through this year. He's an amazing player who isn't appreciated for his talent and athleticism. Like Federer, he's an all-court player. Hope he wins many more. A worthy winner.

Legends were won by my favourites including, of course, one of the greats, Martina Hingis partnering Clijsters and Bartoli (partnering Zimonjic) in the legends mixed. 👏👏👏👏🎾All the legends were not just awesome players but also highly entertaining. Congratulations to all! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🌠🌠🌠🌠🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🤗🤗🤗🤗🍸🍸🍸🍸🍾

And the women's doubles were also won by my favourites: Krejcikova and Siniakova. Congratulations to both!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🎾🎾🌠🌠🤗🤗🍸🍸🍾

Wimbledon has ended for another year. 😢It went very well with fantastic winners! Not forgetting Rybakina, the women's singles champion.🏆

Giorgi wins Montreal (updated)

Giorgi Wins Montreal Camila Giorgi has won the Montreal title, a WTA 1000 trophy. Huge congratulations to her!🏆 🎾👏👏👏👏💪💪🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🍾🍸🍰I'm delighted!💖🙂Although I'm sad 😥Pliskova lost, nevertheless, congratulations to her for returning to the top 5. Giorgi, however, is short on titles. She only has 3 singles titles to Pliskova's 16. For such a good player matches don't seem to go her way. She has it all, including speed around the court. Her athleticism is beautiful to watch. In many ways, she reminds me of Anna Kournikova who should have won more titles too. What makes Giorgi special is her movement and coordination. There are very few players who grace the court in this way. And she's average height which means she has control over her body which aids her movement. Other players similar to her that spring to mind are: Hingis, Kournikova, Sanchez-Vicario, Henin, Carla Suarez Navarro, Schiavone. There are many players that can run fast on court but Giorgi ...

Should medics be court-side?

Halep won Montreal, Rogers Cup so congratulations to her. She has certainly settled into the coveted number 1 spot with a strong lead over the number 2 player, Wozniacki.   Both players have won a Grand Slam but what of those who haven’t? All tennis players want to be number 1 in the world which is why it surprises me that they don’t enjoy the same privileges as those who win Grand Slams. Maybe one day this will change because it is a fantastic achievement and should be celebrated accordingly! Last week presented us with an agonizing example of how easily players can become injured and how this impacts on their ranking/career. Buzarnescu, after many years of struggling with injuries, finally made it to a well-deserved number 20 in the world. She was on the up. The week before she won her first title! All that changed last week during her match with Svitolina. Running impressively for a backhand, her ankle went and she was left screaming in agony. Not something spectators wish ...

Not again, Martina!

"Alcaraz stated that the Czech-American tennis legend’s advice came in handy as was seen promptly implementing the strategy during his Wimbledon final against Djokovic. “(The advice helped me) a lot,” he said on Tennis Channel. The 20-year-old said that he thanked Martina Navratilova for her advice when they crossed paths after his victory. “I saw her after I got out from the court. And I told her, ‘It was your advice! The key.’ I sliced. I tried to do everything she told me. I mean, nine times champion – You have to do whatever she tells you. And I think it was great,” he said." Quoted from  sportskeeda Not again. Every time Martina gives a player advice before a final they win at Wimbledon and this has happened on several occasions now. She 'advised' Kerber in an article right before that Wimbledon final and she won, denying Serena her 24th Grand Slam by using her tactics. It's unfair she ...
