Rafa secures a break in the 3rd. If he can serve this out, gonna be a big ask for Diego.

Even on days when rafa doesn't have it he's still an all time great. He's coming in hard now.

How many 5 set matches has this dude played compared to Rafa?????

Not like Rafa has played many here either.

One against Djokovic and one against Isner is all I can remember.

Diego went 5 long sets against Thiem last year and won.

His first serve % in that 3rd set was incredible, but he really didn't get into any of Diego's service games until the last one.

Both guys played well that set. Rafa's good is just a little better than Diego's good on this surface, of course.

Rafa is back at top level and has a two-break lead in the 4th.

Diego is likely demoralized and frustrated after losing the 3rd set in which he played so well.

Would you like cream cheese in your bagel, Diego?

The GOAT moves on to the semis. 13-0 in French open championships when he's advanced to the semis.

Every PhD candidate and his goddamn cousin has written a thesis on how to use various techniques/frameworks to predict tennis match results more accurately than betting markets.

Are you saying they were successful, or just made various attempts? Massive difference between the two, obviously.

And I’m not hating on Sackman at all. I use Tennis Abstract a lot. It’s one of the best free tools/databases on the entire web.

Novak needs to get off the court in about two hours to have his best chance against Rafa.

0/3 on BP for The Hammer but he steals the 3rd set.
