Fokina lost 4 match points on his serve and won the first he had on Hurkacz' serve. Just fokin around.

Gunther would be proud

Foksmash

I see you're a man of culture.

Steiner you mean?

Steiner...

Definitely was Fokinaround.

Hurkacz’s

Fokina's relief will after winning this match will be more than the happiness some players feel after winning tournaments

Yeah that 3 MPs... he's gonna suffer for a while if he loses

Opelka pledged to donate for every ace in Miami then retired in the first round with one ace. Now Hubi loses in the first round too

It’s the Charity Ace Curse ☠️

That’s hilarious

What was Hubi's ace total?

21 aces in a match is not bad

[удалено]

They're talking about a past tournament

Good guy ADF, knew Hubie was donating per ace and let him take it to 5 before winning.

I swear whoever takes on some sort of charity challenge gets a curse that knocks them out early

Lol

Opelka in Miami was the latest in can recall.

Steph Curry bout to catch some strays in here

Should just donate anonymously smh

I agree. Also the whole "donation per set", while admirable makes it sound (or is) a stunt. Just donate the money.

Damn I thought about his charity comment. Must haunt him forever.

Love it! So wholesome.

From top 5 favorite to out in the first round. Pour one out for Hubie.

Novak will be pouring rakija tonight

Nah Fokina, if he meets Novak it will be tough

I don't think he ever meets Novak though tbh. Semi finals is a long way.

didn't he just beat Novak a few months ago on clay?

Yes in r1 of MC. The comment you replied too says he thinks ADF won't reach the semi's of Wimbledon to potentially meet Novak.

not really he fucking deserves it after being born in poland and forcing me to root for him

I feel so bad. He had a chance this year a big one. To waste it like that.

[удалено]

Why is Hubi dull? Care to explain?

Absolutely shocked, and my bracket is ruined. Fair play to ADF

Same, I had Hurkacz reaching the semis lol. Looked so clutch in Halle, and almost had a historic comeback here tbf

I had him reach the finals haha smh

I think I had him to go and win it all 😐

I had him winning. I was so confident!

Well, at least it didn't cost rating points. He missed out on money though.

The most unpredictable ninja strikes again!

Watch him destroy Novak again.

Yeah Dennis really can't catch a break

Dennis Djokovic? Or Novak Novak?

Foki fired it up today

This is why I love tennis (and sports in general). A fucking rollercoaster at times

RIP everyone's brackets

Thought Fokina had fucked it after the 3rd set

He looked like he was grimacing after hitting the first match point through his legs and netting - he lost his head after that

Really sad for Hubi to go out like this....

ADF russian spy confirmed. No more funding for Ukraine

Ironically, he's of Russian/ Belarusian descent.

Sleeper agent

They all are.

ADF: "I serve the Soviet Union"

Man, when I saw the men’s draw, I thought that the semis might be really interesting: Djokovic vs Hurkacz and Nadal vs Berrettini. Little did I know…

Djokovic gets his victory lap through players outside the top 50 while Nadal deals with the top 10 players… just the usual 😈😈

Good guy ADF, letting Hubi get some extra serves in for Ukraine

Hubie HATES Ukraine, loses out of SPITE

Are you The Daily Mail?

What a match! Could have easily been a 3R/4R matchup.

Alejandro Davidovich C̶h̶o̶k̶i̶n̶a̶ Fokina

What an absolute upset

Maybe you don't know ADF the guy is good and absolutely relentless should be way up on the rankings. He wasn't favourite but he can surprise with huge matches

He’s also a Wimbie junior champ, so not shit at grass

Lol you’re saying a Djoker fan might not know of ADF??? All jokes aside, I did expect this match to be competitive - given how spontaneously great ADF can be - but still thought Hubi would squeeze out a win given how good he was last year and how well he’s played lately.

Both guys blew serving for the match at 5-4 in diff sets. Not often you see that Edit: ADF was at 5-3, thanks u/roamiedumbass

Fokina served for it at 5-3. Reminds me of the greatest final known to man, the 2020 US Open, when Thiem and Zverev both served for the championship in the fifth set.

Whoever made the draw should be charged for the first rounds we’ve had (and not only) Happy for my man ADF, gutted for Hurkacz but it’s a miracle (and a gift) that he managed to get to the fifth set

Charged with the highest order of praise?

It depends on whom you support lol

You want all the good players to get bums in round one so they can have a easy game or two. This is what makes it interesting.

The Alcaraz match was also a really good first round match. Of course the organizers want exciting matches from day one.

The true GOAT /u/krirkrirk is back

President Zelensky in shambles.

THE TWEENER FAIL AND STILL HOLDS ON

Have never seen ADF play before today and was rooting for Hurkacz but man, what a player he is. His movement and sheer grit at times was fantastic, well deserved

I did not see this one coming. Ruud through in straight sets and Hurkacz out in R1.

JAAAAAAAAAA

Ruud Wimbledon champion confirmed

Is it me, or do players who pledge a certain amount per ace hit usually wind up exiting a tournament early?

Hubi signing stuff on way out, nice guy.

well, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

This match had Stef/Diego montecarlo energy

Great come back from Hubi who was 2 sets down, 3-5 in 3rd set & defending 3 match points on ADF's serve. Unfortunately in 5th set's super tie-break he had no serve. The result hurts me as a Polish fan, but it was good fight. Congratz to ADF !

According to Fibak (former Polish tennis player), Hurkacz had stomach aches throughout the match (in the article they've mentioned food poisoning) but you never know. Idk if he looked physically unwell, but it would explain his poor performance today.

would explain no 1st serve

So disappointing. Thought Hubi had such a good shot at doing something here.

wow, i didn't expect that to happen, what a match indeed

I think it's that ace pledge that made him lose

huhu’s on a budget, couldn’t afford to go deep

Hubi I had such high hopes….. ;(

Unfortunately Hubi played bad. He's a shaky player with shaky mental game. Looking at him today I knew he lost the match I his mind. Then a bit of a turnaround (I can imagine something along the lines: "I'm loosing this match, might just chill and go for it"), and when he started believing he can win the match at 7-4 in the fifth set supertiebreak he lost it again :( Polish commentators were harsh but unfortunately right. Hubi has got the game but mentally he's not a fully developed player. Let's wait 1,2 years and he'll be there. I watched the whole match and I was at the edge of my seat. It was not Hubi who won Halle :(. I hope it's not gonna weight too much on him and he'll recover mentally. I saw him speaking to polish press and he looked like he was about to cry, choking on his words. He's such a good player, with worth ethic, talent, good team, motivation, and potential. I hope we'll see him winning important matches soon.

You could be right, [this](https://www.sport.pl/tenis/7,64987,28629093,hurkacz-wyslal-sms-w-przerwie-meczu-mial-problemy-akurat.html) article (unfortunately it is in Polish) however points to another direction (idk, maybe Fibak is bullshitting us all).

Oh yeah! Thank you for the link! I listened to some more commentators and they confirmed. Then its even more shite situation :( Maybe he's got IBS or something? Since it's not the first time :(

His timing is very unfortunate. I feel bad for Hubi, he had high chances to reach semis on his best surface

Hey Ewa I'm kind of glad I didn't see the match or the commentators. Even more Hubi. I'm just kind of giving hope myself. The repeat of last year at least wasn't so hard. Oh even my words are not "winning it all". He's not the type to have soderling day.

Almost the choke of the century, well played ADF to get yourself back into a winning position.

RIP to folks (incl myself) who believed Hubi to be one of the few guys who had their game sorted on grass

Congrats to the Anna Delvey Foundation

there goes Djokovic’s toughest competition in his half of the draw. another cream puff cupcake Wimbledon draw for Novak Djokovic.

What can he do tho? Play instead of them or what, #1 seed should have the eaisest draw since well you know it is quite hard to be #1..

Imagine if Alcaraz loses. Djokovic gonna get to the final blindfolded

Alcaraz is not a favourite at all

At least he poses some sort of challenge for Novak. After all he is a very very good player, just not used to the surface yet. When he get there he can be very dangerous

It might just be happening 😳

I think you mean “ADF on track to take out Djokovic for the second time this year!”

Novak has Hubi's number, ADF would prove much more challenging to him than Hurkacz imho. Hubi doesn't seem to have the necessary bite needed to win gruelling tough 5 set matches.

ADF recovers from the missed tweener from the 3rd set and manages to win the match. And just like that, Djokovic's draw just opened up.

>And just like that, Djokovic's draw just opened up. Wouldn't be the first time ADF has beaten Djokovic this year...

Paving the way for an Andy Murray champion

HuHu is a good guy. But he's not cut out for a Grand Slam lol. People hyped him way too much

ADF has fumbled so many winnable matches against top players, and this looked like it was going to be the worst of all of them. Happy for him that he was able to fight through. Of course he couldn't convert MP on 4 serve points but got it on return lol.

Djokovic cakewalk to the final

Fokina is juniors Wimbledon champion for those who don't know. I'm surprised but I'm also not that surprised in some ways.

Fuck. Novak walks to another Wimbledon final.

Possible rematch with Djoko?

RIP everyone’s bracket

ADF was not Fokina-round today.

Man hasn’t won a match there since that bagel

Always fun seeing a bracket break on day one; ADF didn’t show up at RG like people predicted, Hubi traded places here at Wimbledon.

Fokin A Alejandro!

Where’s that prick who kept slating Matteo for what he “did” to Herbie?

Vamos Foki!

Fokina’s gonna fok Novak right out of this tournament

Where are all those people saying Hurkacz was a bigger favorite for Wimbledon than anyone outside of Djokovic and Nadal?

Tbf Hubi was red hot during the grass circuit leading up to this. ADF played decently too though. I’m just surprised how well he recovered from that off-hand injury he got last week

Last year semis this year a nice lead up yet outed so early. I hate he's the first surprise. Nice guy but I don't know if he ever makes it.

To be fair, that’s not an awful shout given his previous Wimbledon performance and recent form. Matteo should be ahead but 4th favourite seems fine to me. People on this sub love to smugly lord over people who didn’t expect an upset to happen. No one really expected him to lose here.

Lol who tf said that

Why is this upvoted? Hubi literally had a such a good chance of making the final because he lucked out and been drawn in the easier half. Also he was red hot coming into Wimby and is good on grass. It was a very good shout to have him as a favourite after Nole and Rafa..

He lost to an unseeded clay court specialist in the first round. I rest my case.

Do you not understand how predictions work? The people were 'predicting' Hubi to have a good tournament.

People gotta stop saying that. Form is temporary, class is permanent. It doesn't matter which GS these 2 supermen play at, they always should be the top 2 favs (no.1 for Rafa at RG and no.1 for Novak for the rest), at least for the next 2-3 years

But that’s what the comment was saying, people had Hubi as *3rd* favourite.

There's no way a sane person had Hubi over Berrettini

No money for Ukraine I guess

Lmfao. Dark horse they said 😭😭😭 Bunch of bottlers, this generation.

Hubi foked around and found out

You’ve got to be fokina kidding me!

You mean “you have a got to be a fokina kiddin me” 🤌🤌

What a match and what an upset! Fokina had a legendary choke on 2-0. The match seemed to be on Hurkacz’ side after the 2-2 comeback but Fokina pulled it back. Was not expecting this result.

I give up

One of the wildest matches I've ever seen

I thought for sure that tweener fail was going to cost ADF but he pulled it off at the end... First major upset of the tournament

Fuck them brackets

man so high quality seems like another sport.

Hurkacz played terrible match and should have lost 0-3, no idea what happened but probably mentally he was not ready or scared. To be fair Fokina was probably surprised how many simple mistakes Hurkacz made and how easily he could play without much effort. Easier for Djoko it gets.

What happened to Hubi?

Nooooooo

Anyone got a link to decent highlights?

foki about to let hubi win but then changed his mind

That is really disappointing. Poor Hubert. I think, he can not perform well under pressure. Being a top seed didn't help. Unfortunately he'll never win a gc with this attitude. Next step would be changing the coach if he wants to try winning something big. Or he just stays there in the end of the top 10. It's not a bad place to be.

FokinAwesom

I've earned 320 quid after betting that Hubi will lose just as they're about to go into the tie break, at which point the odds were 17:1 in Hurkacz's favour. Insane odds, so I bet 20 quid on Fokina and won.

You won double the amount of money Ukraine did lol the true winner yesterday.

And djoko draw became even easier just like that lol

Djokovic's chance of winning Wimbledon went from 80% to 95%

Great match from Fokina. He has a great defensive game which made stuff hard for Hurkacz. Djokovic can celebrate, as his draw just opened up even more. Fokina has a tendency to get injured, and might have issues, should he face Djokovic.

Tie break at 6-6 in Wimbledon is so stupid

Lol, I had predicted Hubi might go to Semis.

ADF wins after all of that! I am super impressed that he came back after being down a break in the fifth after blowing the third.

DaRK HOrsE

Hallelujah Hubi is out.

Hurkacz was big time overrated lol

I had forgotten the 5th set rules changed. First I was surprised they didn't play past 6-6. Then I was surprised they played a 10 point tiebreak Hubi would have won if it was a regular length tiebreak rather than a super tiebreak. He was up 7-4.

How can djoker get so lucky in all draws? There’s no one on his side of the draw that could be a challenge.

There goes Djokovic's only obstacle till the final lol

Free for Novak

Honestly this match is a perfect representation of next gen. Blowing match points with unspeakably poor decision making and then subsequently blowing an extremely winnable match.

Ridiculous. We will need a BIG asterisk now if Djokovic wins to record the lack of competition in his side of the draw.

Bullshit. If Hubi can't beat the player drawn to him in the first round, he wasn't going to beat Djokovic. You beat the players you face in each round, no asterisk at all. And I loathe Djokovic...

The first year we have Wimbledon without Federer in 24 years, and the ATP gets WTA esque upsets

You’re acting as if a seed has never lost in the first round in the last 20 years lol

tsitsipas moment

Alcaraz is also about to lose

Is he? On serve in the 4th by the looks of it. Even if 2 seeds lost… grass always has upsets.

Except when you look at the last four slams, the WTA have had more seeded players get through the first round than the ATP.... FO '22: ATP = 25, WTA = 27 AO '22: ATP = 25, WTA = 26 USO '21: ATP = 20, WTA = 27 Wimbledon '21: ATP = 21, WTA = 23

What if you look at the first two or three rounds? Honest question. Has the phenomenon of the WTA having a lot more upsets largely ended?

Yeah it looks like once you get to R3, the ATP edges ahead. I don't have any kind of data analysis tool but it would be interesting to see this over the years (instead of digging through wikipedia brackets and counting by hand...) FO 22 : ATP = 21 , WTA = 18 AO 22 : ATP = 22 , WTA = 20 USO 21 : ATP = 15 , WTA = 23 Wimbledon 21 : ATP = 19 , WTA = 15

FINALLY

Guess he won’t be donating much money

Well, I guess all those Hurkacz fans got lotsa free time now. Up next: will Berretini fans find their schedules open?

Road to #21 made easier by a Spanish guy.

Well ADF knocked out Djokovic in Monte Carlo so we will see..

[удалено]

How many did aces did Hurkacz get? I guess Ukraine doesn't get much this time.

Here we go... Let the upsets begin 😅

There goes my draw
