Novak Djokovic v Nick Kyrgios: Wimbledon men’s singles final – live!

Novak #Novak

*Djokovic 4-6 6-3 4-4 Kyrgios

Djokovic holds to love, nice and easy for him.

Gerry Thorn emails in: “…when a player challenges, is persuaded not to by the Umpire, and the commentators then report that the ball was in? That was Jabeur in yesterday’s women’s singles finals. And how come the media have access to all the Hawkeye calls and the Umpire doesn’t? Not an issue when most of the line calls are good, but there have been far too many bad calls this year. Commentators also reported that two serves by the losing pair in one of the doubles games were called out, when both were apparently in. Not good enough!!”

So does Chris Healy: “This is a gripping final. But I’m curious why Kyrgios’s white cap slowly turns green over the course of a match. It was the same in previous rounds. Odd. I’ll stick my neck put and say Djokovic will win this. He keeps his head while others around him are losing theirs.”

Mike Jelley: “There’s a lot of chat on the Beeb about Krygios being entertaining and authentic with his overt emotionality. Am I the only one to find it boring, disrespectful and tedious? If his personality was 10% the equal of his talent, he could have been one of the greats. As it is, he’ll go down as a circus footnote on tennis history.”
