WIMBLEDON, England—While many followed the seeds and followed history and predicted a Novak Djokovic–Rafael Nadal men’s singles final matchup (the 1 and 2 seeds at the event) after the Wimbledon draw was revealed, there was another potential clash that caught people’s eye on Nadal’s side of the bracket.
As Nick Kyrgios entered the tournament there were two schools of thought: the Australian could come into his first match and be out by lunchtime; or he could come, play to his abilities, and have a chance to win it all.
Ten days into Wimbledon 2022, we’re veering toward option B, as Kyrgios and Nadal will meet Friday in one half of the men’s semis, while Djokovic takes on home-crowd favorite Cameron Norrie in the other.
