It can't go on like this much longer, or we end up with a 6 hours match.

Think this favors Zverev? Can Rafa tire?

He is not looking fresh. And he is the one that is 36. That is 11 years older. It must be a factor.

Yes... how much, we'll find out. I still think I'd take Rafa's heart over Zverev's body in an RG semifinal, with Ruud or Cilic waiting.

Really? I've been entertained, there have been some great matches. Not like all timers, but very entertaining. Have you only been watching matches on Tennis Channel and NBC or have you been watching other courts as well during the two weeks? That could be the difference.

The tournament has provided for some negative aspects to be discussed. But it seems to me that a lot, and I do mean a lot, of players are correcting the line calls. Good for them.

Rublev gave one to Cilic in the fifth-set tiebreak.

What the heck is going on in this set?

8 total breaks of serve in the second. Some sort of record for both men. And not done yet.

I saw the entire match. They both gave each other calls. It was very gallant from both.

I have Tennis Channel Plus, NBC and Peacock, so I've been watching favorite players and interesting matchups. But it has fallen flat for me. It's totally personal. Haven't been invested in it very much and been stressed at work so haven't watched as much as I'd like. Kerber was electrifying last week. Happy to see Coco come through and that's a nice surprise, but I haven't seen a full match of hers yet.

Sascha's coming back from the dead... and blowing it again... Honestly I don't know. It's suspenseful!

I once saw Chang and Yzaga play a set at Roland Garros when there was 1 held serve, but it was not in a semi featuring the greatest player in clay ever.

Oh my god, Sascha fell and is wailing in agony, holding his ankle. He's standing up but it looks like he can't continue and he knows... He can't walk.

This is sooooo awful.

No. Let's hope this is not how this ends.

Commentator says the replay is so gruesome, they can't show it. Maybe torn ligaments. Now they are showing it with a warning. I covered my eyes.

I really hope Twitter and all the Sascha haters (as justified as they are) don't have a heyday here. This is truly terrible.

Pico Monaco is describing it as the same injury he had years ago. They are showing the replay here and it is a complete roll-over of the ankle, twice. He rolled over it AND fell on top of it.

It's over. This is terrible.
