Anyone think Roger has 3 straight sets in him?

It'll take a miracle but he's done it before. Put it this way, he has a better chance of doing it against Monfils than Novak, Rafa or Andy.

He's done it at Wimbledon one or two times in the past few years, and he did it against JMDP at RG a few years ago, but when was the last time on a HC?

Dunno but don't expect him to. Not holding serve there was just pitiful.

Connection keeps dying here randomly but imagine Fed's ufes are over 30 now which says it all. Monfils is playing solid but I've seen him play a lot better and cut those ufes in half and he's not down 2 sets to 0.

Yeah, he is really giving it away.

After giving back the break, gets it again with fantastic net play.

Looks like attacking the net works

However, drop shots are just not working. Monfils coming forward quickly and killing them.

Problem is, even if Roger miraculously wins this he's doing himself no favours regarding recovery at 33.

he can't worry about that right now. He's focused on one game at a time for the next 3 sets
