A little one-way traffic on Chatrier. Alex may have the easiest QF match too with Fokina playing 14 sets in his last 3 matches.

Kei was a mess, I think he had foot problems or something.

Incredible first set breaker from Musetti and Djoker. Djoker fought off a couple of set points with some clutch shots, but Musetti had a great dropper at 7 all and pulled out the set.

Musetti up two sets on Djokovic.

Djokovic murdering him now. He might win the last three sets in an hour.

Did musetti’s leg fall off or something? What is happening

No.... Novak just said I’ve had enough of this crap.

lol what an epic absolute beatdown in these last 3 sets.

Novak has never really been a super fast starter. But once he gets his legs under him he can be lethal.....

What happened here is the Italian kid is completely gassed. I could have beaten him these last few sets

These young baws just cannot play three out of five sets over two weeks. Tsitsipas is finally just coming around to be able to do it. Thiem can an occasion (and he's not young anymore). That's about it.

It 100% isnt natural to be able to play tennis the way it is now for that length of time

Bravo. People see Nadal and Djokovic and think everyone should be able to play 40 shot rallies for five hours. I think we are seeing now that a few freak endurance athletes (possibly assisted by something) can do it, but it's not normal. The sport has some issues. I don't know what can be done.

The top three have been doing it for years... and it’s amazing how Fed doesn’t even seem to sweat during a 5match set... Novak is somewhat the same.... but Rafa is on a different level..... he is sweating his arse off from the first point and just has the ability to just keep going and going.......

Count me in agreement that it is hard to understand how these guys can go 5 sets with the way tennis is being played nowadays....mostly from the baseline but very few neutral / rally shots. These guys are playing long points and just pulverizing the ball on almost every shot. It is so physically demanding to play that way. I know they're professional athletes but still it's hard to understand how they can do that for 5 sets. It is much more physically taxing than most people realize to play power baseline tennis.

Totally agree.....

I see people on places like Talk Tennis trashing the young generation as gutless or not in condition. These guys are world class athletes, they're not trash. I just feel like the sport has turned into cycling at times.
