De Minaur maintains his composure after losing 3 straight games from 3-0 up but he holds serve at 3-3 and it's 4-3.

We all know this style doesn’t do well for longevity. Maybe Álex can make his game more efficient.

Commentator reminds us that B05 at Davis Cup is now a tiebreaker which I say is an awful change!

Is Taro actually playing well on a indoor fast court?

he is just a challenger level player but he is up 2 sets to 1 on Fogninin.

Bad error from De Minaur and Zverev has break point. Also has 0 challenges..
Saves it though, too good.

What a rally, wow. Game point Australia.
I don't know if Zverev can play Kyrgios on Sunday after this match. So much running.
He saves breka point and holds for 6-5.

what kind of racket is that Demaurer is using ?? I can't tell if it is blade or some other Wilson ?

He's actually a half decent clay courter, unlike most of his countrymen. Still, has a horrible serve for someone his height.

15-15. De Minaur 3 points away..

Tiebreak time. This deserves more then that.

is that Asic Gel speed 3 that Demaurer is wearing ???? this dude is Sick FAST.... I really think he is the fastest guy on tour at the moment

1-1. De Minaur just blew his tiebreak challenge as well so he's got 0 again..
Another ace and it's 2-1 Germany.

Nearly 4 hours. Didn't expect him to pull of the win, but it should makes things much easier for Kygrios.

Couldn't they at Least make it a 10 point Super tiebreaker if it is in 5th set ???????????????? I know why they did that so that it doesn't drain out the players by playing out the 5th set. but 7 point tiebreaker is all Luck,,it Is basically not fairSee below

Interviewer just said it was a QF loss to Chung at the Aus Open... Oh lord.
Nostradamus
Bionic Poster
I don't think Misha played a bad match there against Chung. Chung was in crazy good mode til the semis. you have to understand that Chung is crazy talented player. he blew away all they Young next gen guys in the NExt Gen finals last year, and that was no accident.

Geez when Lleyton Lite develops a serve to go with his great return of serve, great foot speed and wily court craft, he will be some player. Just needs that bigger serve to get him free points. Good match with plenty of tension. To think I almost went today but didn't feel like going out in the rain! Must be getting old!!

Zverev is ridiculously overrated.
One slam wonder at best.

QF? Those letters do not compute with Sascha four times a year.

The Velvet Fog forces a fifth with 6-3 (double break) fourth set win over Daniel. Forza Flabio!
Any match where you give up when your opponent makes it 2 sets all is a bad match. Zverev won very few points in the last set, maybe as few as 3 from memory. That's a bad match for a world number 3 vs 48.

It was just five points Chung lost, only one on his own serve. The only time I've seen Sascha beaten that badly was his 20th birthday "party" thrown at M-C by Nadal.

Fognini completes his comeback from 1-2 down in sets, much like Zverev but without needing a TB. 6-2 in the fifth.
Two rubbers in the can and both are marathons saved by the favorites.
Kazakhstan vs Switzerland underway with Popko taking the first set but down a break in the second to the Finnish Swiss Laaksonen. Will we have a third rubber going the distance??? The Boys of Borat are 8-1 in ties played in Astana.

Nick closes the second and is up 6-4 6-4.
Popko rallied to force a second set TB and won it 9-7. Up 6-2 7-6(7).
Seppi vs Sugita just underway.

A steady 4 4 & 4 win for Oz and Nick to level the tie at 1-1.
Popko dropped the third set to Laaksonen and they're on serve early in the fourth.
Seppi took the first set vs Sugita but is down an early break in the second.

Was it De Minaur playing great or Zverev whining and yammering again?

More to ADM's credit but he ran out of gas in his first taste of Bo5 going the distance.
Meanwhile, Popko has broken at 5-5 and will serve for the match and the great glory of the Borat Nation!

De Minaur played very well, Zverev wasn't too bad but it wasn't his best. He played very well to come back from 3-0 down in the 5th though.

De Minaur will have the last laugh when he wins more slams than Zverev.

It is done! Young Dmitry makes Borat proud man for luring the young Russian boy to our great Kazakhstani kingdom!

The only way he wins more than one slam is if slams are changed to a BO3 format.
God forbid..
