Norrie got no chance. I know he broke Novak but the ease with how Novak broke him and how his serve won't bother Novak is his main concern

yea these early rallies show Norrie's lack of power and put away shots...Novak gonna have a breeze breaking down Norrie

 

[phillycavsfan]

Wait, people hate Kyrios now?


Love his spunk, hopefully he wins the Wimbledon title and beats Djokovic

I'll always be a Kyrgios fan, but I'm not gonna pretend like the guy doesn't give folks plenty of reasons to hate him.

Another drop of serve from Novak but still Norrie doesn't seem to have enough

This is gonna be one of those "Novak plays like trash for 2 sets and then becomes a god to win in 5 sets" matches, huh? I was hoping he'd save that for the final and win in straights today.

I'm thinking he drops 1 set.

exactly

 

[Nero Christ]

wake me up when Norrie's won 3 sets...then I'll believe he can win

Novak is the type of dude that you can deflate if you give him a beatdown in the first set but if he can get back into the set yet still loses it, he's fine

He also gives up on sets at times to regroup in the next.

Well

True but Norrie playing super inspired. We'll see if he can keep it up.

Novak got the hat on now, he's

 

[Tallac]

It's a wrap. Norrie is done

 

[UpAndComing]

Patrick McEnroe just admitted it on the ESPN broadcast. The slower paced Grass courts allow players like Nadal and Djokovic who don't have elite serving and power to dominate

 

[Nero Christ]

commentators talking bout Norrie lost focus....nah, Novak picked his game up and Norrie isn't as good

sidenote, anyone else find Norrie to have an ugly game

low key Wimbledon fell off after 2001
Halle is the last real grass tournament left
