PaulC Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Dominated the match from start to finish. This guy couid end up being the best ever if he has the same motivation as Djokovjc, Federer and Nadal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite remarkable really djoko is still there about for the final (bar the lucky walkover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Changing of the guard and about time. I think the achievements of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal were amazing but now it’s time for the new breed. Hopefully there can be a few years whereby the finals aren’t predictable until the next dominant force takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Aside from one game where Alcarez wanted to throw away his serve, Djokovic was slapped all over the court in a way never seen before. The end for him as the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Anybody sensing something special by Draper at the US Open? The draw has certainly opened up for him, if he can beat Alcaraz's conqurer, you never know. Whatever happens, Draper most definitely has the talent to become a top 5 player imo.

He has a chance to go deep. The US is often the most open of the 4 as it is at the end of the season and players are knackered. I think that is what did to Novax and Alacaraz competing in the olympics. They have had to go clay-grass-clay-hardcourt in about 3 months which is nuts. Shelton-Tiafoe was a good match which for some reason was not in the evening session, but handy for UK viewers.

sheepyvillian Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Just seen the Draper score, he's up two sets and 5 - 2 in the third. That's some going , he might just be in with a shout of winning this thing. Incidentally, if anyone has a Sky Bet account you can log on and watch it for free.

He looked like he was playing in a sleeping bag. Nice to see. The year Murray called it a day and, Draper fills the void. Tbf, I think a lot of us sensed the potential, it was just a matter of his body adapting to the rigours of top - tier tennis. Whatever happens here on in, he can be happy with achieving a place in the semi-final of a slam. Let's not forget, this is the slam where Murray finally got over that line, only seems like yesterday, so let's cross our fingers and hope for the best.

I only really watch Wimbledon and this might sound a big snobbish but I found it very strange to see tennis with a lack of rules and etiquette. The crowd was in and out, empty seats for big games and even the dress code. I do like how the different types of courts changes the game though. Great story for Draper but Sinner looked a level above Fritz. Need a 3rd to stand up and challenge him and Alvarez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
