    The defense on those last 2 points by Goffin was crazy. Hell of a down the line shot that Goffin got back in play. Then Foe hit a major first serve and Goffin was able to get it back in play

    Frances has gotten right on the cusp of big breakthroughs so many times and just hasn’t been able to finish.

    Goffin-Norrie with a berth in a Slam SF on the line. What a world.

    It’s funny, he’s already the type of player that even if he’s not on his game he’s still annoying as shit to play against. This isn’t the first time this year he’s been down big and just doesn’t quit.

    All the British announcers are horrific. Talking about no points and said it’s a real tragedy for players, especially British players. Or how about Russians who are not invading Ukraine? You’re forgetting all your British wildcards are advancing because you’ve eliminated competition.

    But fuck what a run Tim had. Takes a set off Djokovic has to be absolutely huge in his head. Also hope it helps him in North America and beyond.

    Its like when Bamas playing an FCS team sleepwalking for a bit then Saban screams that he’ll have their families murdered or something and they wake up to win by 40.

    Did you get the over? Started making dinner and various other things.

    edit: that was 1000% what I was going to put money on but could not find it on DK and gave up. I would have set the line a lot higher as well.

    Everything in the Kyrgios playbook historically says he loses today. Let’s see what happens.

    On my Nick dingo card I have, good nick. Should be able to get to the semis and facing Nadal he’ll be hyper focused. You may be right though.

    And they trade breaks to start the 5th. Sense of the moment getting to them both.

    Yeah. High level juniors player but wanted to go to college.

    Played as a freshman at UVA and was really, really good. Played some Challenger events after the season ended and won enough that he decided to go ahead and turn pro after one year in Charlottesville.
