Very possible…. But at least tennis keeps it real. Who would have ever thought that all of the big three would be in the same bracket at the French???

Alright, match is on in about 20 minutes. I think Tsitsipas was +250 last night and that has dropped to +215.

That set point save was so clutch, I thought Novak would blink.

Djokovic has gotten a few lucky breaks this set, but he's also still slightly been the better player, I think.

I bet he breaks here and takes the set 7-5.

He's just hitting the tape so much.

He's unbeatable when he's getting this combination of immense skill and slight fortune.

It will be VERY impressive from Tsitsipas if he manages to take a set.

Maybe the 3rd. Sometimes Djokovic loses his focus after winning the first two sets.

It looks like he lost his focus after getting a break.

Random tennis take:

Serving first in the tiebreak shouldn't count as a "service game" in the sense that the other guy gets to serve in the opening game of the next set. There is no real advantage to serving first in the tiebreak. In fact, if serves hold the whole time, the guy who serves second will actually have a set point first.

Djokovic shouldn't get to serve at 6-5 and serve first in the 2nd set. A tiebreak is simply a BS way to literally break a tie in a set.

Amazing from Tsitsipas to take it.

The lack of nerves from Tsitsipas is ridiculously impressive. Just going toe to toe in the first set and not letting Djokovic jump out to a quick lead.

We'll see if he can maintain it the rest of the match.

Tsitsipas' first serve kind of left him late in that first set. He needs to get it back, because he'll need those free points from time to time.
