Both players are trying to conserve some energy right now. Five comfortable holds so far this 4th set.

Giraffe is playing bad, Austria too dominant in rallies, just serv not enough.
This will be over in four sets!

There are still no deuce service games in the 4th set...4-all now.

Even more impressive that there are no 30-all service games in the 4th set...5-4 Thiem in the 4th set.

We will see if Thiem will try amped up his return game this upcoming Zverev service game.

After nine service games, we finally have the 1st deuce of the 4th set.

Zverev hit an ace...

Agree about the quality of tennis, not really high. Even the crowd seems not involved enough.

I like the match personally. It might not be a high-quality match but at the same time it is not a dud type of match in which both players are spraying errors.

agree, Djokovic raonic was too lopsided and filled with Raonic errors. Kyrgios had drama but was a mess at times too

This is an interesting match I feel as though Thiem has been putting in just enough to tilt the match toward him, and he was banking on the moment getting to Zverev and for the most part it hasn’t.
