Here's the thing about Tsitsipas: He is the only young player that I can really envision beating the Big Three on a consistent basis.

That was definitely a stolen set. Roger let it get to a tiebreak with all those missed breakpoints.

I still think Federer will win the match unless Tsitsipas starts to return Federer's serve on play.

Tremendous mental strength displayed by Perseus. After staying put and winning three long service games, steals the set from Fed in TB.
If the first set deservers to be won by Tsitsipas marginally, the second set deserves to be won by Fed heavily.

Agreed. Fed pretty much stole the first set with clutch play when it counted but he pissed away set 2.

S.tipsatipis played a better set, because he won all the big points, wow that a match so far.

Tsitsipas looked more of a middleweight at the end of last season but seems to be a heavyweight now.

I'd love to see a Tsitsipas-Kyrgios match.

Barely moving. Hopefully the adrenaline can kick in soon if there is anything left. No pace on the ball at all.

I'd love to see a Tsitsipas-Kyrgios match.

Personally I think Kyrgios is a lost cause and I'd give him very low odds of winning that one unless Tsitsipas had a really bad day serving.

See, now that is the point that Tsitsipas needs to do more often. He returned the ball in play and he was patient in the rally.

Roger is down to number 6 now in the live rankings since his points have come off. Have a feeling he'll manage to lose this one tbh.

Why is the French dude (Serena's coach) sitting in Perseus's box. Is he still coaching Serena or is he done.

Clutch serving from Federer there...we will see if Tsitsipas can start return better...
