Wouldn't it be fitting for the very fragile glass samurai to defeat Novak in the 4th round..
This is most likely Samurai best opportunity to capture this "poor man's" version of a slam

So the ever unpredictable Chardy took out Karatsev.

Great win by Tsitsipas, he played really well. If any Spaniards couldn't get the Gold Medal I wouldn't mind if the Greek does

Medvedev struggling in the heat
Umpire asks if he is okay?
" I can finish the match but I can die.If I die who will take responsibility?

Medvedev and Fognini 1 set all....players can take a 10 mins break due to the Extreme Heat policy.

He can be such a thorn in Djokovic's side, it doesn't bother me Daniil's in distress and may not even finish! He may not be a bad guy, but.......! :lol6:

Med is leading 2-0 in the 3rd set he was cruising before he took a MTO on his abs,I dont like to see anyone in heat distress,if my memory is correct Novak has also had heat distress and retired in one of his former matches

Nishikori had to fight Ivashka hard for that first set, but he's up a break now in the 2nd.

Tits receiving MTO for (may be calf injury). Not very clear whether he will continue the match.

Meanwhile Samurai is about to Bagel Ivashaka.

It must be mentioned that Nishikori not only upset Rublev in singles, he (playing with a relatively unknown partner) upset Jamie Murray and Skupski in doubles.

Nishikori famously beat Novak at the USO 2014 in SF. Now he has a chance to repeat that kind of performance in QF against Novak in front of non-existing home crowd. Will he do it?

Kei won his match....I hope he gets to play on CC in his q/final match,he has been under the radar in these Olympics,he should have had a match on CC before this,he has meddled before at the Olympics.
