[Carol]

No 1 seed Alex De Minaur forced to withdraw due to a re-aggravation of an ab injury.

He made too much effort playing against Rafa

 

[Moxie]

Bottom half semi is Rublev v. FAA; top half is...Tommy Paul v. Lloyd Harris! Paul is a qualifier. Glad I didn't do the draw challenge.

Watching a classic of th future: FAA x Rublev

Greatest talent of the young generation against the greatest crazy offensive headless mothefucker of the young generation. Guess who am I rooting for!!! (but I like them both)

 

[mrzz]

Great match so far. Rublev holds for 4 all in the first after a long and gruesome game.

 

[mrzz]

Tie break it is in the first.

 

[mrzz]

first set Rublev but it could really have gone either way. Actually FAA always seemed an inch closer.

 

[mrzz]

Extremely contested second set as well. lots of break points but no breaks in the match just yet. 2 all.

 

[brokenshoelace]

He made too much effort playing against Rafa

A weird thing to be happy about but OK.

 

[mrzz]

23983498534 break points saved by both

 

[mrzz]

...and actually saved, not wasted by the opponent

 

[mrzz]

MP Rublev.

 

[mrzz]

MP saved with a tinny bit of help from Rublev

 

[mrzz]

Another tie break...

 

[mrzz]

I don't know who are the (probably Australian) commentators on the stream I am following but they are by far the best commentators I have seen technically wise.

 

[mrzz]

Absolutely top-notch tennis from FAA to stay alive in this match. 6 all.

 

[mrzz]

second MP Rublev
