RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 07-07-2023 20:08 Andy Murray - out Cameron Norrie - out Liam Broady - out Only Katie Boulter remains in the singles and she faces Rybakina next. British interest looks quite a lot stronger in the doubles events though so one to keep an eye on with that. My fave Elina Svitolina is still going strong. A fine win over Sofia Kenin 7-6 (7-3) 6-1. Next up Victoria Azarenka of Belarus. Don't expect any handshakes in that one whatever the result. Svitolina is playing some fine tennis at present after having a baby in 2022 with Gael Monfils. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 09-07-2023 08:10 Elena Rybakina saw off Katie Boulter with minimal fuss 6-1 6-1.

Based on the pre-match billing, you'd have thought this was going to be a contest of equals. I realise they can't go "and of course she'll get smashed", but there are polite but credible ways to build up anticipation without suggesting a miracle might be on the cards. She did the same earlier in the week with I think Heather Watson, based on one good showing nearly a decade ago. We could all big ourselves up in that way, but it wouldn't be sensible. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 09-07-2023 20:42 Elina Svitolina. You go girl. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Match of the championship so far against Azarenka. The intensity in the second and third sets was ferocious and the crowd were supporting Svitolina as if she was British ![]() Azarenka led 6-2 2-0 but Svitolina battled back to take the second set 6-4. In the third set Svitolina led 3-0 only for Azarenka to level at 3-3. A case of who wanted it more as the two slugged it out to 6-6 and a champions breaker. Svitolina with the first mini break but then Azarenka took control at 7-5. Back came Svitolina and it goes 9-9 sudden death. Incredible ![]() Two more points followed and victory 11-9 in the breaker. Wow. Just Wow. Note to Court one crowd: No excuse for booing Azarenka off the court ![]() ![]() It is a Svitolina decision not to shake hands with Russian or Belarusian players not an Azarenka one. Both players knew there would be no handshake. Get a grip people. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 10-07-2023 19:30 Great match ongoing between Dimitrov and Rune on Court One ![]() RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 11-07-2023 17:42 The dream is still alive for Elina Svitolina after a titanic effort to knock out the number one seed Iga Swiatek 7-5 6-7 (5-7) 6-2. In the semis she will face Marketa Vondrousova who saw off Jessica Pegula 6-4 2-6 6-4. In the men's draw Jannik Sinner has seen off Roman Safiullin 6-4 3-6 6-2 6-2. Novak Djokovic has beaten Andrey Rublev 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-3. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 12-07-2023 15:33 Second seed Aryna Sabalenka overpowered Madison Keys to win 6-2 6-4. She will face Ons Jabeur in the semi finals after the Tunisian avenged last year's final defeat by Elena Rybakina to win 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-1. In the men's Daniil Medvedev finally ended the hopes of Christopher Eubanks in five enthralling sets. He claimed a 6-4 1-6 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 victory over the charismatic American. And Carlos Alcaraz has seen off Holger Rune 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 6-4 to reach the last four. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 13-07-2023 14:52 Alas the Svitolina dream is over after a semi final loss to Marketa Vondrousova 6-3 6-3. In the final Vondrousova will face Ons Jabeur who claimed a mightily impressive win over the hard hitting Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3. Meanwhile Britain has representation in the men's doubles final. Neal Skupski and his Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof are to play Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers for the title. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Doddle - 13-07-2023 21:45 Pleased for Vondrousova, who got little or no attention up to this win. Jabeur though will be favourite, carrying the hopes of Tunisia with her. RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 14-07-2023 19:38 It's a Djokovic v Alcaraz final. Djokovic saw off Jannik Sinner 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-4) while Alcaraz demolished Daniil Medvedev 6-3 6-3 6-3. |
