No sleep . . . no sleep . . . no sleeeeeepp

Ferrer finally wins the second and breaks to start the third. The man does not know what a short match is.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Mirza/Dodig win.

 

[Tennis sensation]

[Tennis sensation]

Busta breaks Istomin in the 4th.

 

[DelPo2016]

Absolutely insane point from Pablo and he gets the break

 

[StanTheMan]

Ferrer and Agut will go a long way, i'm feeling

like close to six hours

 

[skynyrd1611]

Zverev 2 set to 1 up on Nadal. A few tight matches here.

 

[skip1969]

Zverev wins the third.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Busta serving for the 4th set.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

We are going 5 in the Istomin/PCB match.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Busta takes 4th set.

 

[StanTheMan]

jesus christ

raonic is serving bullets

 

[StanTheMan]

I actually fear for Simon's safety being in the receiving end of these things

 

[Tennis sensation]

Can Istomin win back to back 5 setters?

 

[Tennis sensation]

RBA wins the third set in the tie breaker.

 

[skip1969]

Ferrer loses the third. I'm fading fast. It's 3am.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Istomin up a break in the 5th.

4-2

 

[DelPo2016]

One more game Denis

 

[Tennis sensation]

RBA breaks Ferrer.

2*-1

 

[Josh Lyman]

I just got back about 30 min ago. I'm not nearly as drunk as I was 2 days ago, but the matches going on are fscking amazing.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Ferrer's slide will continue if he fails to defend his QF here from last year.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Istomin wins 6-2 in the fifth.

 

[skip1969]

Istomin . . . get some sleep, dude. Hey, that sounds like a good idea.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Istomin does it again!

 

[DelPo2016]

LETS GO!!!!! I LOVE YOU DENIS. 4TH ROUND BABY

 

[Josh Lyman]

I love Istomin. I love tennis.

 

[pnw_hardcourt]

Wow, so exciting to see Istomin through another round. It was better than the Zverev match! (although I did still watch more of it)

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Great to see IsDaMan backs it up

 

[Tennis sensation]

Monfils takes the 1st set.

 

[SpinToWin]

Eurosport showing Kohli - Monfils... I hope they switch to Griggs when the time comes, you can rely on Kohli gifting this match as usual.

 

[Warmaster]

I know I haven't been following tennis as closely as I have done in the past, but I'm still surprised Monfils is ranked #6

Good for him though, always liked the guy

 

[WristAction]

Monfils doing his thing. Broken when serving for the set. Madcap with a touch of genius. Like PK's game too.

 

[Tennis sensation]

TB between Monfils Kohly in the 2nd set.

 

[SpinToWin]

Monfils doing his thing. Broken when serving for the set. Madcap with a touch of genius. Like PK's game too.

He has a fun game but damn if he isn't one heck of a head case...

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

Kohlschreiber's career in a nutshell. I want him to win this match, but he won't. He'll never come close to winning a slam.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Brilliant simon!!

 

[Fedinkum]

Simon is GOATing right now to bring it to a 5 setter.

 

[Fedinkum]

Hail Simon!! Save us from servebot tennis!!

 

[Tennis sensation]

Monfils takes the second set 7-6.

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

The biggest winners at this AO will be the Gasquet/Dimitrov and Thiem/Goffin survivors. One of them has a very good chance of getting to the SF at least.

 

[Gytha]

Yes Istomin through! Always good when a giant killer backs up the win

 

[racquetreligion]

I expected Simon to take out Mugonic and also Rafa

Nightmare final will be Gasquet vs Murray
rather see Rafa vs Murray or Simon vs Murray

 

[yharzu]

monfils playing well

 

[Bukmeikara]

Why is Goffin made as favorite against Thiem by the bookies, is Dominik injured or something?!

 

[DimitrovTheGoat]

You guys are insane if you don't think Raonic is going to be one of the top 2 players in the post-big four era of tennis.
