[JesuslookslikeBorg]

gael breezes into a fifth set.

or farts through the fourth.

 

[kskate2]

Believe it's Sun

Too bad, now this 5th should be a 6-1 set for Monfils. Either way, Monfils might be a little gassed coming into the match with Roger. Is it Sunday or Monday?

I don't think playing a 5 setter affects Gael's next match.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

lolz vintage gael...classic play then dumps his serve.

 

[Federberg]

Lol! So Cuevas gets a break up in the 5th, but I can't trust him anymore :cover

it could do..gael isn't noted for his core fitness..and he's played 14 sets while fed played 9.

 

[Federberg]

jeepers are they going to WTA the 5th set? :nono

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

break back ..lol at the fans going ballistic.

Franie and Kuzzie together produced 13 breaks of serve, all just in the 5th set.

Don't accuse the WTA for this rubbish! Besides, you need to go back to the 4th set when it all started.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Got to be getting pretty dark there...

 

[kskate2]

It'll be over soon Murat. I think they can play up til 9:15

Well said. Retracted

 

[Federberg]

This is a collapse of almost Normanesque proportions

 

[kskate2]

Here comes the landslide. 4-1

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

unstoppable gael..possibly.

I would ordinarily agree but given Monfils's loafing and lack of effort in most matches I'd say he's fresh as a daisy.

 

[bajana]

Cuevas should go hide his head in a crocus bag for the rest of the year

 

[herios]

High risky play rewarded. Just saw Monfils rescuing his game from a 0-30 deficit.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Monfils once tanked a set badly. The umpire was concerned and was checking with him as to whether he is ok. Gael replied, I am just fine, sometimes I am cagey.
