Was one of the worst overheads I’ve ever seen at that level.

Well I hate that I’m on my gambling hiatus because it was +650 for Tsitsipas to get broken there

Tsitsipas is absolutely choking here.

Man, if Tsitsipas wasn't such a unlikeable personality, I'd root for him for sure. His game is really fun to watch when he's on.

Tommy Paul is going to get absolutely manhandled, right?

And we have had only one decent men's match out of the last bunch.

Probably. But I had to bet it because I'd be a little upset if it happened and I didn't bet it. Tommy Paul ML +1260 (FanDuel). $3.96 to win $50.

I feel like this Simon match from 2016 is the blueprint, if there is such a thing. Paul would have to go into complete pusher mode and try to wear him down. Problem is… it won’t be in the heat and this version of Djokovic has different gears that the 2016 one didn’t.

Honestly I'll be surprised if TP wins a set. I took under 31 games with a little extra juice figuring if 1 set goes to a TB there's still a chance to win.

P Mac kind of said the same thing at the start of the broadcast that Tommy needs to get into a war of attrition and might want to play balls down the middle. I think the theory is Novak can run down everything, anyway, and playing the ball to the middle of the court takes away his angles. Simon was a unique player, though. He sort of floated the ball and had a lot of spin variety. I can't think of many other guys who play like that other than Tomic the tank engine.

Don't like this gameplan at all. Hope he has a plan B.

At some point you gotta throw in drop shots and hope to injure the hamstring.

Tommy finally getting dialed in. Sounds weird but Novak has been off the entire 1st set even though he's up 5-2. He has 17 UE so far.

Holy point for TP's 2nd break to get back on serve at 5-4.

One of the baw's in Paul's box has a Cabelelas hat on....I find that to be awesome.

Novak does look a little off. His serve has been inconsistent.

Crazy I can't find out who he is.

My guess would be Stine’s son.
