So, this final (not in terms of the tennis played, this was far better) reminded me of the 1988 Wimbledon final (not the fa cup ) between Edberg and Becker

Becker was the two time champion (although he wasn’t the reigning champion, as he’d gone out in the second round in 87 to a shock defeat to Australian Peter Doohan who sadly passed away a few years ago)


Becker took the first set and was expected to go on comfortably to win, but Edberg took the second set in a tiebreak and went on from there


The other final that it reminded me of was 2011 Wimbledon final, between Nadal and Djokovic (which Djokovic won in four)
Slightly different as despite a wobbly third set, Djokovic just played Nadal off the court where as Sinner I think had to produce a more controlled performance slowly turning the screw and building up more confidence.


Nadal was a two time winner, and Djokovic playing in his first Wimbledon final

Partly ADHD brain and partly using AI as a reference to make sure what I’m saying is correct

I can assure you though that given I would have been 4 when that match (88 final) was played I have no actual memory of watching that game (have probably watched highlights back at some point, although with two serve volleyers there wasn’t much in the way of highlights).

First final I remember watching was Kraijeck vs Washington


Wasn’t that big on Tennis until saw Federer beat Sampras in five sets in 2001

Sinner didn’t bow to Kate properly.
Off with his head!

Disrespect to the royal family? I'm in...
