Can't recall a player in the modern era winning a slam at 37

On Redmi Note 8 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

Only player to win a major singles title past the age of 37 is Ken Rosewall at the '72 AO

Federer was 36 and 4 months when he won the 2018 AO

 

[YeoShuey]

What a response from the goat bloke is on one leg

 

[Xtreme]

40 - love game anddddddddddddddddddd Novak's injured again

 

[YeoShuey]

40 - love game anddddddddddddddddddd Novak's injured again

If he wins in the end, he will talk about how he took him down injured that only a fool would believe lmao

 

[Mr Meow]

Novak's had a bunch of uncharacteristic unforced errors.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

C’mon Carlos break back please

Only player to win a major singles title past the age of 37 is Ken Rosewall at the '72 AO

Federer was 36 and 4 months when he won the 2018 AO

And Nadal had just turned 36 when he won the 22 FO

Who would’ve thought he’d play the injury card when losing in the first set. Does it all the time then magically his “injury” disappears.

Isn’t that how an MTO should in fact work? LOL

 

[Xtreme]

TJ now chanting to kick out the chair umpire

 

[myblueroan]

For God's sake Carlos. Lift!
You have 1 job.
He is Essendon.
You are Carlton.
Win!!

 

[YeoShuey]

Alcaraz breaks back!!!

 

[Mr Meow]

Playing much better after the tactical timeout.

Lot of errors since.

 

[YeoShuey]

For God's sake Carlos. Lift!
You have 1 job.
He is Essendon/Collingwood
You are Carlton.
Win!!

More accuracy. Efa

 

[Xtreme]

For God's sake Carlos. Lift!
You have 1 job.
He is Essendon.
You are Carlton.
Win!!

One is Sydney

2024 grand final style

[myblueroan]

Alcaraz breaks back!!!

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

If Carlos wins in 3 sets, he is Geelong v Novak is Port Adelaide in 07’ lol

 

[Xtreme]

If Carlos wins in 3 sets, he is Geelong v and Novak is Port Adelaide in 07’ lol

Ken Hinkley dislikes this

 

[myblueroan]

Those drugs wearing off quickly Nole?

 

[YeoShuey]

He is just about to break back.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I need to save money up this yr to go to a final like this lol next yr

 

[Xtreme]

Novak would be more comfortable in Nike or Adidas shorts compared to Lacoste

It might "lacoste" him the victory.

And Nadal had just turned 36 when he won the 22 FO

On Redmi Note 8 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

True that

Federer also making the 2019 Wimbledon Final at 37 & 11 months (And losing from having match point)

And Rosewall was 39 when he made the Wimbledon Final in '74 and got blasted by the much younger Jimmy Connors

 

[Coasters7]

The commentary glazing of Novak is nuts. Every Alcaraz point we get to hear it’s all because Novak is struggling

 

[Mr Meow]

Ken Hinkley dislikes this

Why? Hinkley was Geelong's assistant coach that season.

Djokovic needs the break here. A marathon doesn't suit him.
