Shobhit Chandola, Mumbai Uncensored,16th July, 2022:

Often hailed as one of the most prestigious tournaments in Tennis, this year too Wimbledon commenced from June 10 onwards and is slated to end with the final coming on July 10th. Till the battle so far, the Wimbledon championships have got its leading contenders for the semifinals.  To everyone’s surprise this year Roger Federer whose name is synonymous with the British tennis tournament with the most titles (8)  is absent since the recovery from the knee surgery has taken more time than expected. But nevertheless, the Wimbledon 2022 saga has still turned out to be a rollercoaster ride from every sphere leaving the audience delighted.

On Friday, in the first semifinal of Men’s Singles, the Bad Boy of Tennis Nick Kyrgios will face off the World No 4 Rafael Nadal who is competing for a Calendar grand slam. As of now, Nadal aces the H2H records with 6-3 while the tally getting closer to 2-1 in the Grand Slam faceoffs. Lastly, when Nadal defeated Kyrgios in the Grass courts, it was the 2nd Round of Wimbledon 2019 but  not to forget the potential which Nick Krygios carries when the, then 19 year old  gave the Spaniard run for the money by stunning the, then No 1 Rafael Nadal in the 4th Round of Wimbledon 2014 in 5 sets with a ranking as low as 144 and entering as the Wild Card contestant.

Given Rafa’s current form and Krygios performing to his potential in recent times, the result could flip in either flank. With all close encounters so far with Greek No 1 Stefanos Tsitsipas, Brandon Nakashima and Chilean C Garin just to end up in a winning cause will undoubtedly make the Nick Krygios to be ready for Somerset. Still, the Nadal in this Wimbledon has certainly answered the critics why he is not only confined to clay and has defeated the Sonego, Zandschulp and the Taylor Fritz most recently in the Round of 16 taking the match to 5th set’s tiebreaker. Thus, leaving out everyone stunned in the crowd by reaching the Wimbledon SF. But could be alarming is the abdominal injury which Rafa picked up in the match against Fritz which if turns out to be serious could deny Rafa a run for his 3rd Wimbledon title.

The other Centre Court for the 2nd SemiFinal will witness the battle between the defending Champion Novak Djokovic and the sole contender of Britain in Cameron Norrie who will look to exploit the Djoker’s game and enter his maiden Wimbledon Final. While Djokovic is said to be deemed as favourite,

Cameroon Norrie can be laced with a southpaw and home advantage of playing in front of the crowd. While the Djokovic defeated Kokkinakis in straight sets in 2nd round, compatriot Kecmanovic in 3rd round and T Van Rijthoven in Round of 16 to come so far, it has been Norrie who have impressed everyone by exploiting Spaniard J Munar in 2nd Round and american rivals Steve Johnson and Tommy Paul respectively to barge into his maiden Wimbledon SF.
