I was expecting Sasha to get it done in three sets today before the match started. But, did not happen. In any event, Sasha broke his own glass ceiling and reached QF for the first time.

Today from 12 to 3, NBC is broadcasting RG live. I thought finally I will get to watch it in old fashioned TV. Alas, my local channel that carries NBC decided to telecast Children's Miracle Network's fund raising telethon instead. :cry: This RG is definitely marks the least amount of time I spent watching live matches.
LOL, where you live? I can see the matches on NBC and TC though I remember NBC usually transmitted only the finals

9th consecutive QF for Djokovic here.

2 more matches for a chance to fight the antichrist.

North Carolina. I don't have subscription to Tennis Channel. NBC has different local affiliates in different regions. Mine decided to show some fundraising Telethon event for CMN.

If you have the NBC Sports application, you can watch RG live from 12 noon, provided your cable service provider gives you access to NBC.

Novak wins another match and spreads his love around.

I think it is safe to say Novak's winning ways are back and he will be a threat at USO.

This tournament ain't over yet and Novak's very good on grass. Wouldn't write him off the whole of Wimbledon or here just yet personally.

Thanks. I am able to watch it in nbcsports.com. But, I was hoping to watch it in big screen and they thwarted it.

I’m cautiously optimistic. It appears things are coming together now. Mentally and physically he looks better than anything I’ve seen in two years, Vajda is back.

I think he’ll be the only one to trouble Nadal here.

If he stays healthy I think it will become a good summer for him.

Stat guys, help needed here. Has anyone ever won a slam with all his matches being 5 setters? What is the most amount of 5 setters played by a player on his way to the title?
This is a good question...I wonder if anyone can find the answer.

Wait....have you watched the match? It was really embarrassing how Verdasco has played, this guy has been a really waste of talent, what a *******. While Novak spreaded his love Verda had his head like the ostrich :facepalm:

Agreed. His worst loss was the AO 2009 semi so, really, you should be happy he is what he is.

Come on, don't be so hard. Verdasco made only 47 UFE in three sets. :facepalm:

When his head has not worked well for so many years I don’t expect it’s going to work well now....:cuckoo:

We don’t see too much that kind of match anymore, it was brilliant by both players but at the end the best player won same like the final.

An upset for sure but not a huge one. I mean RBA may be the best player Nole has beaten at a slam since the start of 2017 as crazy as that sounds.
Darth,,Denis doesn’t realize that you truly do not have Novak’s best interests at heart, your hidden agenda is that Djoker is the one real true threat besides Thiem or to a lesser degree Sasha to ambush Rafa from winning unidecima. As you know..the same holds true at Wimbledon, most Rafa’s fans want Novak in Roger’s half of the draw.. You said that you welcome the challenge, an inform Djoker will cause Roger some sleepless nights.:sleep::sleep2:
