Hate the celebration with the shirt off, but outside of that, I'm freaking pumped!!!

Genuine emotion. Love it.

Wish we could have seen the whole match so Americans would be able to get behind Tiafoe a little bit easier. ESPN wonders why we don't have great Americans, but that is part of the problem.

Obviously would have loved an Anisimova win tonight, but I'll take Tiafoe and Collins for sure. Probably won't last thru anything else, but hopefully we'll have three more Americans in the quarters come tomorrow.

See I don’t get why you couldn’t though? I guess AO Mix isn’t available on all providers?

Will be interesting to see what they show tomorrow when Osaka/Sevastova will be on Laver while Keys is playing on Margaret Court.

You guys will love watching Cilic dribble the ball for about 1/3 of the match if he makes the quarters.

That’s pretty good.

In those comments someone posted this one of Joker which is hilarious.

to both

RBA serving for the 2nd set. He failed miserably in this spot in the 1st set.

And RBA takes the 3rd 6-2. No joke. He has a 40-22 edge in return points, so this score is no fluke. Biggest set of his career coming up. Wonder if he will choke.

Assuming Cilic comes back and wins, that will be 14 sets played in his last 3 matches. With potentially Roger, Rafa, and Novak standing in his way, it’s safe to assume he’s not winning this tourney.

Roger playing a 1st-set breaker. He had 2 break chances in the first game of the set and nothing since.

Way too many fricking commercials now, I remember when you wouldn’t see many commercials durning matches just a coupe years ago. Now, they’re still playing a commercial when the dude is serving. I can’t believe that’s not a major problem.

I started watching soccer lately, and for a 2-hour match you only get commercials at halftime. Commercials in America are out of control.

Fed wins the breaker, 13-11. Fed's ground game looks weak, but he is servebotting. Back to

Federer’s serve is flat out ridiculous and I think it’s miraculously still improving. And the fact that he’s 6’1 should be embarassing to all these 6’2 and 6’3 guys on tour with very basic serves. A few that come to mind are Busta, Dimitrov, and Chung.

Yeah, I know it’s partly due to natural talent, but I’ve seen Coric go from below average to above average in a span of about 2 years.

Bautista serving for the match at 5-4 in the 5th.

And Cilic is out.

With Roger serving like this, he would probably have to lose 3 breakers to be beaten.

The Tsitsipenis backhand usually breaks down under heavy pace or multiple shots, but Fed isn't really able to do either one. Could be a long match.

Roger 0/12 on break points compared to 0/0 on the other side. Basically the best stat to describe the match.

The serve dropped off for a game and Roger is now down 2 sets to 1. shite is real now.
