Very surprised to see this score line. 5-5 now. Not only did he hold, he held to love.

Darcis is going for everything and making a lot. I think Novak takes his legs out here.

Doh. No tiebreak. Hopefully Darcis doesn't cave now and keeps his level up.

Don't want to see his level plummet so he gets wasted like this.

Poor start to set 2 by Darcis. The downward spiral likely starts now. But who knows. He was on the verge of being down 4-1 in set 1 also.

I really enjoyed the Thiem match. Only second time I've seen him play, and he impressed me

Enjoyable player to watch... he's got the shots and he has that fire to win.

Is anyone watching Coric v. Tomic? Was thinking about switching over, but if it's a push fest... :nono

Nole isn't missing now and Darcis has shot all his ammo. Looked over at Coric v. Tomic; not much to see.

Darcis has 3 break points to get back on serve for 2-2.

Okay random question but based on their performances as of now, how would you rank this 4 (nole,andy,rafa and stan) on chances of winning RG?

At least Darcis is forcing Novak to serve it out. Always hate when opponents lose serve to lose matches.

I am not too sure, Nadal has been the most solid one by far, he might eveb be the huge favourite if the weather helps him, but I know for a fact that Murray is the fourth favourite right now, and even that is debatable. His first two matches have been complete shitshows. Horrible.
