The good news for Tsitsipas: He defending his serve a lot better this 3rd set

The bad news for Tsitsipas: He is still cannot return Raonic’s serve this 3rd set.
Let's see what greek's balls are made of if this goes to TB now.

The main problem for Federer right now is that he can not push Millman with these rallies. He is trying to push him but Millman is just redirecting with ease.

Federer surviving at the moment. Millman letting Fed off the hook in that last service game. 3-all.

Raonic with 5 match points.

Federer is in a whirlwind of crap right now. Millman is happily trading forehands and Fed is looking very ordinary.

It looks like Federer will take this 2nd set tiebreaker. Best 2 out of 3 sets now...

Great tiebreaker from Federer. The question now is can he keep this level up?

Federer takes the TB. This will be a torture for him.

The Swiss maestro levels it up. He really ramped it up a level in the TB. It'll be interesting to see if Millman's level drops at all in the third.

Can Millman? is the other question. The third set will be interesting. Millman has played well... he'll probably be feeling he should be two sets up.

I agree but at the same time, we have seen this from Federer before. Plays great one set then completely plays bad in another set.

Either way, it will be very interesting.

The question right now is which player can start returning better? Both players are struggling to get a rhythm on their return of serve...

Millman just erasing break points out here. Federer just not able to figure it out yet.

Millman with two big winners to save a break point and holds his serve.

Federer is playing a lot cleaner now...

Federer takes the third set 6-4. He played clean tennis the last few games of that set and found his return of serve. This match might be over but we will see...
