Kinda hope he goes down in straights just for the laughs.

Wait, Rafa is playing?!? I thought he was out because of the foot. Don’t think he has a chance to take it, but hell yes! Pumped!

Tommy Paul is through in straights.

Yeah, I thought there was no way Rafa would play this tournament with what we found out about the crazy nerve treatments and pain he has. I would like to know if he is still doing those, just taking a ton of painkillers, and or maybe the grass isn't as bad for him. I haven't seen any reports he looks hurt.

Kwon serving for the 2nd set. Interrupted now by the chair ump just now because of something to do with the rain delay on the outer courts, I believe.

Would be shocked if he held here.

Kwon with a sick droppa at 30-all, then closes out the set.

Yes that was awesome.

Looks like he's made at least the 2nd round at all four slams, so he certainly has a little game.

We weep for our two Russian princes and pray their persecutuon ends as quickly as our beloved Novak's did.

Top half of the draw is about to look like Novak is playing a 250 event

Nice effort to win the fourth from Alcaraz. Struff won the first couple points of the breaker, had Alcaraz on a string to go up 3-0, and Carlos hit an absurd running one handed flip crosscourt to turn the tide.

Was about to say the same thing. You knew it was over once he landed that shot, totally shifted the momentum

I don’t mean this as a hot take but I don’t see much benefit in Alcaraz going all out to advance. Sorta surprised he didn’t just lose in 4. He’s obviously not winning the tourney, plus there are no ranking points. That little prize money bump means nothing to him also. Of course I’m saying all this as someone holding a Struff +400 ticket.

I guess he just has to start working on improving on grass and becoming an all-around player.

He pulled it out. I guess his draw is weak enough that he could reach the 4th round or quarters.

Probably just one of those guys that doesn't know any other way to play.

Cilic withdraws wtf

Did he not practice with Novak on center court or did I dream all of that?

Bovada still has 4th quarter betting up. I took some Rafa +120 but not super excited about it. Maybe Fritz or Felix worth a shot.
