Andy Murray - a career of two halves (stats researched using Tennis Abstract).

Only 4 wins vs top 10 players and a losing record vs top 50 since returning from hip surgery in 2018.

@LarryRmfc_ Beckham against Everton was better

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

@Certinfy Why do you think that’s happened? Is it due to a particular physical issue or just marginally slower reaction times?

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

Mochizuki is basically a Japanese Mannarino. #wimbledon

For years we have been hearing about Roger being the king Wimbledon, with a record 8 titles, to Novak’s 7.

You know my wish for next Sunday?

That pundits start talking about Martina Navratilova’s record 9 Wimbledon titles. 😉😀🥳

Remember when Gilles Simon slow-balled Djokovic and extracted 100 unforced errors? Eala is doing the same to Swiatek here. #Wimbledon

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

@Certinfy The competition should also be factored in - Novak had Fed/Nadal/Murray/Wawrinka to overcome in the 2010s. Sinner has Alcaraz and an ageing Novak! A bit like Federer looking phenomenal pre-2008 against weaker opposition, we can easily be deceived.

Being totally honest here with all things considered, this might single-handedly be the greatest sporting performance of all time.

- Djokovic at 37 years old in a sport where the usual peak is mid 20s. Most players are retired by 37.

- Djokovic on his worst surface and arguably Alcaraz on his best.

- Djokovic under an immense amount of pressure given the Olympics was the only one of 15 big tournaments in tennis he hadn’t previously won.

- Djokovic under even more pressure as it’s the title he wanted the most as it was for his country as much as him.

- Djokovic still not fully fit after suffering a knee injury just the month before.

- Alcaraz at 21 years old, 16 years younger than Djokovic.

- Alcaraz in the form of his life having just won Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back.

- Alcaraz making the Olympics Final easily without even dropping a set.

- Alcaraz destroyed Djokovic in the Wimbledon final just weeks before.

And yet somehow despite all of that Djokovic produced his best performance of tennis in years to not only win, but do so in straight sets against an Alcaraz who played great himself.

The forehand especially was something from 2011 let alone how absurdly clutch he constantly was on big points, especially break points and in the tiebreaks.

That’s how insane the whole performance was.

Novak Djokovic is not only the greatest tennis player of all time but hands down the greatest athlete and sportsperson of all time.

Sinner’s still in 2nd gear and this isn’t close :( #Wimbledon

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

Lost count of the number of spectators collapsing in the heat at #Wimbledon this year. Concerning.

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

Awful on the big points, paid the price #Wimbledon

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

Has Djokovic ever previously gone 0/11 on break points in any set? #Wimbledon

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

@jir1987 Hahaha tweeting is a rare event for me these days

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

Alacaraz is so far serving nearly as badly as Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals.

Fognini hanging tough and determined to showcase his shotmaking skills on his final appearance at SW19…

[Magnus Carlsen @MagnusCarlsen]

Suiting up.

@philhaigh_ @sachensarahsagt Mark when I fluke a shot

[Jason @Certinfy]

I’m going to say it for what it is.

Rafa, Roger & Andy all went out in a disappointing way.

They all played a huge part of my childhood, teenage years & early adulthood but it’s incredibly sad to see how they all ended their careers.

I really hope Novak doesn’t do the same.

@premierleague Big Dan Burn!

@ripx4nutmeg @shirl1968 enjoy…

Emma Raducanu saying Andy Murray is “old news”… perfect example of pot kettle black if I’ve ever seen one.

[Jack Bradshaw @1992Bradders]

@FPLJamie_ What do you think?
