Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Zverev all seem to have those "mental" collapse in a whole match. The main difference is that Medvedev is the only one (so far) to make those mental mishaps into a positive one. When Tsitsipas and Zverev are mentally collapsing, they are more than likely to lose the match in an ugly way.

Somebody please remind Tsitsipas which are the "in" parts of the lines, and which are the "out" ones.

It's only a good lesson if you learn from it, and don't just accumulate scars.

Sometimes it is okay to accumulate a scar,when you are in a tight match,you start to think you have got out of a tough match before,it can be a positive outcome.You cant expect all matches to be handed to you.

Stefanos is getting some help from Coric in this game. He'd better break here.

Tsitsipas with a good return game (with some help from Coric) and he is up a break 3-2 in the 5th set.

I suppose it's too early to feel comfortable that ST is up a break.

It's a good sign that he hasn't completely gone away. Is it bad that I'm hoping he blows another few match points in this set to set a new record? I believe nine match points is the most ever blown.

On my TV, I have the one-two commentating duo of Drysdale and Gilbert. They're just perfect...the old school tie and neat scotch of Cliffey v. the rumbled sweaty shirt and a-shot-and-a-beer style of BG. Perfect late-night combo for such a crazy match.

Remember that Nadal-Schwartzman night match? Nadal kept breaking but Diego kept breaking back, stressful times!


Please stop with stressful Rafa matches:) I have to say I am missing him not playing at the USO,stressful or not,I guess I have gotten use to 'those matches' by now or not.

Tsitsipas out of challenges. They really need to have live hawkeye for all the courts. It makes no sense that the center courts get the least accurate line-calling. I bet there will be a big controversy where Tsitsipas wants to challenge but can't.

If Tsitsipas lose this match, this probably will be his worst loss of his young career. He has blown six match points and gave the break back in the 5th set. Just mental choking from him.
