Well this is the 2nd straight match he's given Fed hell and he owns Zverev, has caused Rafa trouble a couple times, etc. Consistency seems to be the problem, but I forgot he is only 21. Thought he was 23 or so by now.
I like his game. I mentioned that before. He elevates his game sometimes against the elite. It explains the wins against some of the top players. But mentally he's still got a lot of growing up to do. He may have learned from that encounter at IW earlier. If he closes this out I will say well done and well earned.

Roger up 93-83 in points and still going to lose a routine 3rd. That says it all

Barring a huge step up at Wimbledon he won't be past the QF and could lose before that.

This shows how many of Borna's serve games he's been in. He's had the opportunities, but didn't take them. Could have won this match in straight sets.

We'll see. Maybe he needs a loss here to get his head on straight. Like Berg said, he thought he coast this week. Now he knows he cannot do that even at a 500

I almost feel like Borna needs to break to win it. Not sure he can serve it out

This is crazy. BC did not even need to serve to win.

RF did a DF in the last game and moreover fell down while going for a volley.:facepalm:

God was that fucking pathetic. I think Fed was 2/16 on first serves the last two games.

That FH volley and service game sums up Fed's week.
