Should be a good final, I wont see it because of the cricket but I would be surprised if Djokovic doesn’t win

 

Yeah, same here. Just had the Mother in law on the phone asking if she should do her Birthday party shit tomorrow or Sunday. I said it looks like rain on Sunday (white lie) and Saturday would be better. Saturday it is....jobs a good un.

Is there anyone coming through that could dethrone the big 3? 

Probably top 2 soon, I can see Federer easing off even more if he wins another Wimbledon title. Not many players about at the moment who can reach their level on a consistent basis. Look at the players just behind the top three ranked players...Thiam, Tspitas, Anderson and Nishikori. Some German kid Zvervev who is ranked 5th atm, only 22 and getting better quickly.

Murray came in and disrupted the order for a short while but unfortunately his body is made of ice cream cornets.

Murray disrupted it about as much as Wawrinka. Who's always forgotten in these conversations...

Kyrgios has got the talent, not to de-throne these 3 but potential number 1 when they finish. Needs a massive attitude check though if he wants to exploit it properly. 

 

His attitude is shit mate, I can't see it changing as he sees himself as a bit of a rebel. Still young though, so if he surrounds himself with the right people he has a chance. The thing the top players have is consistency, none of the chasing pack has that, Murray did, but unfortunately he peaked at a time where three players were better than him.

Did you watch him against Nadal last week? Yes he lost (and lost his head) but some of the shots he pulled off were incredible. Even Nadal was shaking his head. The talent is absolutely there but he needs to build on it. 

 

Funnily enough though he probably played worse once he stopped calling the umpire a cunt after every lost point.

Kind of backs up the consistency point, Stig. Goodnight to you sir, I'm off to have a long rally with my missus......New balls.
