Highlights, Curiosities, and Memes of the Wimbledon 2022 Final
These Were Some of the Best Points of the Men’s Finals
It was a very suspenseful final after Nole lost the first set, as everything seemed to indicate that the All England Club could be upsetting. However, Djokovic recovered, but not without putting up a fight first.
If you missed the men’s final at Wimbledon 2022, here is a summary of the best points from the match between Djokovic and Kyrgios.
Nick Kyrgios Expressed Annoyance With the Center Referee During the Match
Nick Kyrgios has always been characterized as a tennis player with a rather explosive temperament, and even this has come to play tricks during his career.
During this final, he was also the protagonist after having a small exchange of words with the center judge, as the Australian complained that a fan was shouting at him during the match and that made him lose his concentration.
On this occasion, we give him the floor, since it was really something that happened repeatedly.
Wimbledon Is Nole’s Home
Novak Djokovic has made Wimbledon one of his favorite tournaments, and is currently one tournament title away from matching Roger Federer’s eight Wimbledon crowns. Will he be able to achieve this in the coming year and continue defending his undefeated record?
Djokovic Had a Scare or Two on His Way to the Final
Although he managed to win the title, the Serb’s way to the final was far from being easy, as this curious statistic shows.
Surely, Djokovic must have felt especially nervous in the final when he lost the first set, as he had never beaten Nick Kyrgios before today in his career. Besides, he lost in Acapulco and Indian Wells in 2017, but the third time was the charm.
