How many sets will Norrie get against Novak Djokovic?

My bet is 1.

Hardly got a mention being a Brit which is strange.

You’re right so far 😉

(I only saw the last game of the first set, but will keep it on….)

I think he’s world ranking #8 or 9

Just gets on with it - doing well and ranking up the points.

Years ago they gave Dan Evans the big build up. I follow him, proper grifter, bad lad.

Never heard of this fella. Doing well but have to say much mistakes from the opposite side of the court.

Just had to nip out to the “recycling centre” (aka teh dump), but listened on R4. One of the presenters just stated that Djoko is “probably the fittest human in the world”. :? I am sure he is extremely fit, but I doubt that.

Final will be great.

Naughty Nik kicking off is always worth a watch.

Djokovic is just a beast, when he's well and truly on the back foot in a rally he'll just about get a racket to the ball but somehow or another it always finds its way between the lines.

Sorry was in the pub.

My prediction was ( as in a bet ) Nick to win 3-2, 8 to 1 odds.

Great match tho! I made everyone in the boozer watch it.

That Ozzy chap was quite angry wasn't he. No interest in bat-ball but I did watch it just for his outbursts.

And as soon as he’d lost he was all smiles! Most odd.
