    Didn't realise the NZ connection with Norrie. Born in SA to British parents who moved him to NZ when he was 3. According to Wiki, low funding from tennis NZ may be a reason he is now representing GB. Pity, we are well overdue a decent tennis player.

      @crazy-horse yeah, I was pretty surprised when I heard him speak - happy to claim him until he becomes a failure.

        Good shot of eliminating Federer in next round.

          @bones I don't reckon we pronounce it unzud. Surely we pronounce the N like it starts with an E and the Z like it has an E in the middle.

          That's horse shit.

                    How cool. Watched both the semis. In the first I was just waiting for Fernandez to get overpowered but too good.

                    Really looking forward to the final.

                      What's great to see is the joy these two are playing with. Exuberance of youth?

                        Djoker is one game away from a finals berth. Pushed to 5 by Zverev but he's up 5-0. Showing his greatness again

                              The Joker will end up the GOAT after this match (if he isn't already). Unbelievable player especially when you take into account the players he's had to beat to get win his GS titles.

                                    He is definitely a polarising figure. And I don't like his anti vaxx stand. But on court you have to admire his skill. His anticipation, and his shot making ability is superb

                                        The Joker will end up the GOAT after this match (if he isn't already). Unbelievable player especially when you take into account the players he's had to beat to get win his GS titles.

                                        The top 3 players in the history of the game all playing each other at or near their peak. And he's come out on top. Unbelievable

                                        You may well be right, but I just can't warm to him.

                                        Easily the least likeable of the big 3.

                                          Mate of mine at work is a big tennis fan - he plays inter-club tennis.

                                          Yeah, he doesn't like Djokovic, either.
