Isn't that taking faking to extremes, chaps?

I'm so sick of Nadal's "injuries". It's the same EVERY time he struggles in a match.

 I completely agree. The guy is the most obvious faker in world sport...and still his blinded fans commend him for his bravery!

 Gosh it's amazing that he's going to sacrifice a possible Grand Slam title for the sake of a fake injury. Wow!

Rafa didn't look great today when seen on the practice courts.
So why would he fake it?

Just hope Kyrgios lets his tennis do the talking in the final and not his foul mouth and antics.
Especially when Royalty will no doubt be present in the Royal Box.

 I think folks are being ironic. 

Nick has a 4 day gap, not sure that is a good thing. But not sure he needs to behave any more than otherwise just because royalty is there - do we need to behave better in front of royalty ?! But I hope he behaves for all of us, for sure.

 Well yes I think you show respect for people like Royalty. I accept that is my opinion and others may hold a different view. But for me when I am sat watching the Wimbledon Men's Final I want to see two players going at it hammer and tongues with their racquets. Not swearing and cursing at everyone including the ball kids. I'm not pompous but leave that behaviour for the football terraces. If it turns out like the match with Tsitsipas did then it's a sad ending to a brilliant tournament.

I of course wish Nick to behave on finals day for himself and us the crowd. I dont think your views are pompous at all , Rich, but I dont personally hold the royal family on any higher level than the rest of us and, coming clean, am a republican. Im sure William and Kate are very nice , and Harry , but they are just ordinary folks no more or less deserving of respect than anyone else .

Anyway, lets hope it is Cam he plays and who beats him in the final- and Im saying that as a Nick fan!

I am lucky enough to have a ticket for tomorrow and will be cheering Cam on every step of the way! He has to win - no pressure!

Leaving aside the royal family and arguably OTT courtesies, a major problem with Kyrgios is his sheer disrespect for other people just trying to do a job, like umpires and ball kids.

Undoubtably he is very watchable, and often indeed for his tennis, but some of that stuff is to my mind totally inexcusable. Fėnals days, other days, he needs to show more respect full stop.

Just seen that the OOP has changed and now Novak/Cam is now on not before 2.30 between the ladies dubs semi-finals.
