That was a good hold from Federer. Rose to the challenge. Kudos.

Federer holds from 15-40...Millman missed an easy return on that first break point. The only missed return he hit in that service game.

 

[rafanoy1992]

0-30 on Millman’s serve...

 

[britbox]

C'mon Fed. Step on it fella!

 

[britbox]

4-4. Pressure back on Fed.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Both players can not find a serve rhythm right now...nerves right now

Amazing match!

Two DFs from Federer in this game...30-30

Federer holds at 30...Millman to serve to stay in the match.

 

[don_fabio]

good hold, considering two df

Millman's body language is saying that he knows he's going to win.

2 double faults in this game. 4 in this set. Fed hanging on. Gets the hold. Keeps his nose out in front. But ... the age definitely showing. If he wins, recovery becomes a issue. Fucsovics dealt with Tommy Paul in straights. He's extremely fit himself.

Ever since the first two service games of this 5th set, the server has faced at least a 30-30 all point. No easy service games

You never know what version of Fucsovics is going to show up though. He's got game but totally inconsistent.

Finally an easy hold from Federer. We are 1 game away from a 10-point 5th-set tiebreaker.

Including this one Federer will have played 4 different types of 5th set matches:

Wimbledon 2018: 12-10
Wimbledon 2019: 13-12 (4)
US Open 2019: Blowout
Aussie Open 2019: 10 point tiebreaker

Ouch... that missed sitter from Millman has to hurt.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here we go guys: a 5th-set 10-point tiebreak...

 

[britbox]

Here were go... Super Tie Break. Hold on tight.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I actually think advantage Federer here because it is a longer tiebreaker...

 

[britbox]

Great rally. Hats off to Millman.
