Baghdatis has the 06 AO spirit in him.

Does Novak know what to do with a Jack Sock on the rise?

Pablo Busta move in the bakery for Herr Thiem...opening set breadstick baked rather quickly.

I know it's a totally different level but PCB, when he gets on a roll, is an irresistible force...at one point in '13 he won seven Futures titles in a row, moved up to Challengers and had a three title run, the last match being his win vs Thiem.

Marathon sixth game in the third set for PCB trying to stay level in the set and match vs Thiem. Some great shotmaking from both!

Just as I post this, Thiem plays three lousy points to blow BP and then the game.

Can Pouille recover after another five-setter? Everything is in Le Pitre's favor but I think it's Poo Poo Puglia time!

Hey, @vive le beau jeu ! , did you watch the video and notice GOAT bassist Leland Sklar rockin'? He looks a little Gandalfian these days with the full white beard! Check him out on a Google search...an interesting guy who custom builds his "Frankenstein" instrument.
