No tennis channel on Youtubetv is an absolute dagger.

Luckily the winner will have an additional day of rest as the semi is on Friday. I'd think Rafa would benefit more from that if he were to win due to his 5 setter last round

One thing I love so much about the French is that getting broken doesn’t take you out of sets like it may against hard-servers on the harder surfaces. But maybe somebody could correct me, Wimbledon doesn’t play as fast as it used to, right. Seemed like in the 90s, if you broke somebody’s serve, you’d have to shite the bed to not win the set. Which did make for a lot of high pressured deuce and AD point.

Because NBC is an abomination. At least when ESPN gets the rights, you're going to get everything on ESPN2 at minimum. NBC buys the rights to this, lets Tennis Channel have two-thirds of the coverage, then takes big matches and forces you to Peacock for some of it. Tomorrow will be like today, then NBC takes some regular network coverage back the last four days.

He should pull a set tank like the players did when I was young.

Would bet my life on Djokovic winning this one. Seems he manages to be slightly mentally tougher than Rafa in their big memorable slam matches over time. 2012 Australian, 2018 Wimbledon, 2021 French, etc.

He’ll just find a way to win one or two more clutch points, because that’s what he always does.
