Blackjack 21: Djokovic in Wimbledon final and hard to bet against Israel today

2022-07-08T18:06:48.012Z


The Serb showed clinical ability in the victory over Cameron Nuri in the semi-finals and is within winning distance of his 21st Grand Slam • Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will closely follow from the stands after the favorite that has not lost in the British Major since 2017


As in the quarterfinals, Novak Djokovic's start did not look good today (Friday) in the semi-finals against Cameron Nuri.

If in the previous stage he got into a minus 2: 0 against the German Yannick Sinner before he woke up, this time he got into things a little faster.

The Briton (a South African boy, for parents from Wales and Scotland), who had the conspicuous support of the local crowd, broke the Serb three times in the first set en route to a 2: 6, but here his story ends.

Djokovic, after seven close games in the second set, simply shifted gears and left Nuri no chance, en route to a 1-3 draw in sets.

Nola reaches the final on Sunday while in form, although rival Nick Kirius has been given a critical rest today, thanks to the retirement of Rafael Nadal from the semi-finals.

The Serb now has a streak of 27 wins in the prestigious Grand Slam, which he recently lost somewhere in 2017.

Yes, he wants to defend his title - and beat the Major for the fourth time in a row (in 2020 it was not held due to the Corona plague).

At 35, Djokovic looks excellent, calculated and smart, a host of advantages over Kirius who will appear for the first time in his career in the Grand Slam final.

The 27-year-old Australian is considered an impulsive player and comes as an underdog, in fact like anyone who meets Djokovic at Wimbledon in recent years.

Those who will be watching with concern from the stands or on TV are the two giants next to Nola at the top of the majors wins.

On the one hand the record holder Rafael Nadal who holds 22 wins and on the other hand Roger Federer who has won 20 times.

A victory over Kirius in the first, and Djokovic will stand among them full of pride and confidence - with 21 impressive Grand Slam wins.

Anyone willing to bet against him?
