I never seen someone make the game so uncomfortable for Novak..

Wawrinka started playing "lights out" the last few years against him; giving Nole heartburn regardless if he won or not! :cover :clap - - - http://fiero4251.blogspot.com/2016/08/fan-page-novak-nole-djokovic.html - - -

Definitely not AVERAGES, but I'm talking about with regularity - as Kyrgios has done. I think most of his second serves have been in the 110-120 range, but a few over 120.

I'd expect Isner to bang down a few second serves over 120 during most matches.

5-5. Novak serving at 30-0.

Only watching the scores, but it looks like this set is destined for a tie-break.

Same for Jaziri-Sock.

Kyrgios' serve looks so heavy. It's like the other pros are throwing spoons and spatulas, but Nick is throwing kitchen sinks at No2e. Devestating.
Kyrgios has matured so much. He is barely making any errors at all, so focused. He deserves this, without a doubt.
Before, I never appreciated his game, no matter what he did, but playing with such courage is unseen. He needs to fix his ranking, try to get in the top 10, and send mugs like Cilic and Monfils (who was recenlty in the top 10) packing.

Novak really doesn't want a tiebreaker.

Federer ?

Not like this..Novak is in dire straits!

 

[El Dude]

Oh wait, now he really does.

Nick hits the ball a lot flatter and deeper than Gael..Nick is bossing Novak whereas Novak typically bosses everyone else except JMDP

 

[britbox]

Wow, Novak gets the DTL - I thought it was out at first glance.

 

[Moxie]

Novak looking a bit raggedy, but hangs in.

 

[britbox]

Hope Kyrgios doesn't lose his head. Having a good rant at the ump.... as the music piped out is "Under Pressure..."

Or is it? Kyrgios got 2 BP there after Djokovic was up 30-0! Novak saved them both though and holds for 6-5.

Jazirisock went into a tie-break, Sock running away with it 7-1 and levelling the match.

 

[Moxie]

Whoa...he duffed that sitter.

 

[El Dude]

What a choke.

 

[El Dude]

Here's where champions are made. Kyrgios really needs to win this match to breakthrough.

 

[Moxie]

Redeems himself with 2 aces.

 

[Moxie]

To your point: 124 mph 2nd serve let. And Aces to take it to TB.

 

[britbox]

Huge hold.

Yeah, saw that on the meter. He has hit some huge second serves today, really gone after it.

 

[Moxie]

If it weren't Djokovic, I'd say Nick has this TB, based on the whole match. (PS: 141 mph on that serve from Nick.)
