Damn , Marty lost to Evans in 3 tight sets.

Fabio and Ruud are battling hard. Hope the Italian will move into the Semis.

No title defense for Fog. Down in flames in straights.

Rafa's serve is off today..I don't know why. I guess it's the windy and cooler temperatures

Rafa's serve is the WORST Ever..he should have defaulted the match. He has already double faulted 6 times in 4 service games. Unbelievable

Courier said he's never seen him play this bad, either. If he's sick, it would be unconscionable of him to be playing. He would have been tested yesterday.

Yes it really is. Even he coudnt win without serve.
Reminds me a bit of the first two sets of RG F last year.
By the way, Rublev is playing very well.

Yeah complete crap.
And very unusual behaviour with shouting and smashing ball away after another mistake.

You have more admiration for Rafa's game than Courier..Jim had Rafa winning his last major 5yrs ago. And retired shortly afterwards

Rublev is repeatedly shouting „vamos“?? :thinking-face:
Only thing besides better serving and killer FH that is gonna save Rafa today is CC BH..it's what separates the Legends from the good players . It's Chris Fowler's favorite shot.Mine too

Rublev is playing lights out in this 3rd set.
