What an amazing point for Fritz. He caught everything Milman threw at him. An early break in the second set.

Shapovalov vs Struff about to kick off. If Shapo manages to overcome his erratic bouts, he should have this in the bag...

I wonder if Shapo will be able to repeat his first round success, losing the first set and then winning the next two? Oh well, if he is unable to do so so be it...

I just want Carlos to make it to the semis!!!!!

Shapo’s current game wreaks of whatever would be the opposite of the smell of napalm in the morning. It’s as if he just wants 2021 to end.

Bercy is a mandatory for him but he might be better served to petition the doctor for an exemption and also skip trying to defend his lone career title in Stockholm.

Looks like St. Petersburg is going to be a total bust today but luckily for me I care much more about Vienna!

I missed yesterday’s empty celebration of Zedraffe’s 300th career match victory at courtside, complete with a plaque and silver Mylar 300 shaped balloons.

How fitting he gets to 300 without a slam title and without a single victory vs a top 10 player in the slams.

ATP Tour and Alexander The Grate may not like my tweet pointing this fact out.

I don't get it why is Zverev so sloppy at the net but so thourough from the baseline. His brother is one of the best volleyers in the world didn't he teach Sasha to do the work at the net and not take short cuts?

van de Zandschulp is up a break in the first set leading Rublev - perhaps Rublev will implode again? Here's hoping! (;

van de Zandschulp took the first set, here's hoping he gets it done in two sets against Rublev!

PATHETIC from Zverev. Struggling against FAA of all players.

Next gen TRULY SUCK. I don't think anyone is ready to be a muti slam winner or be World #1.

I fully expect Novak to win 3 slams in 2022. Even a 50% Novak is 3x better than Zed/Titsp and all these other hopeless Next gen.

Zverev didn't have any double faults - that always makes a huge difference for him. Hoping he makes lots of DF's tomorrow! (;

Rublev has gone ahead 4-2 in the third set. Probably will go to a third set ): Still hoping van de Zandschulp wins it so I don't go 0 for 4 at St. Petersburg today! (;

But I have had what I cared about happen today: CARLOS WON HIS MATCH!!!! (;
 
Tiafoe in this outfit gives me strong comedy sketch vibes, in a good way. Really rooting for him here. His enthusiasm is infectious.
