Wow! Down goes Iga. 23 match clay winning streak and 26 match win streak at Roland Garros broken. Blew a 4*-0 lead in S2.

Good. Every time I looked up during the match she was complaining about something.

Good fight from Tommy P. I think he was up two breaks in the second set and had a set point in the tiebreaker. Carlos is amazing at turning on the jets at the right point.

Carlitos was playing at a crazy level. Honestly Paul played pretty damn well.

Is there no TV for the Fritz/Paul v Evans/Murray dubs QF today? I had to search really hard to find a time, which is listed as 12:00 EST, but no court and doesn't come up on Peacock schedule. Its been a tad difficult to find TV listings it seems.

Fritz/Paul vs Eden/Murray is after the FAA vs Ruud match. Flashscore has it estimated at 11:40.

FAA up a set and a break on Ruud. But only at 2-0 in Set 2 so there might be a bit more to play.

Djokovic into the semis after a meltdown from Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas serving for the set up 40-0, 5*-3. Goes on to get broken and goes on to lose the tiebreaker.

Americans ending careers all over the place.

If Fritz/Paul can win we’d have a US gold medal match similar to what we had in Mixed at the Rio games.

Carlos smoked FAA. Unfortunately, it looks like Tommy and Taylor are going down.

Can't see Novak beating Carlos if it comes down to it

Could see him retire not long from now tbh, age and these beatings by Carlos are causing him some anguish imo

Musetti vs Djokovic has potential to be a solid match. Musetti is in peak form looking at recent results and performances. Musetti is 0-4 vs Djokovic on clay but 2 of the losses were 5 set defeats at the French Open where he had the lead; 2-1 in 2024, and a 2-0 lead in 2019.

I think you're right but I'm hoping it goes at least 4 sets. Should be a great match.

I may be wrong, but I think it's only 2 out of 3 sets.

Carlitos is a significant betting favorite. It’s too bad it’s not best of 5.

Hopefully we get a match like Cincy last year.
