A real heavy weight match on now with Tsitsipas and Rublev.

Rublev is in the driving seat here in the first set.

Rublev has dominated the first set and was serving it out to win before throwing in a horror game, now he’s serving to stay in it.

Tsitsipas has turned this set around. Leads 6-5 now are being 5-3 down.

Rublev threw away that first set.

Rublevs head is gone.

He’s got his mojo back.

Tsitsipas breaks again.

Rublev has lost the second set now. Pity this had the makings of a good match.

Tsitsipas has been playing unreal stuff.

He is a live contender here.

What happened to Rublev, he was playing well was up in the set and then just dropped off a cliff. Can’t see Tsitsipas beating Djokovic. Looks like it will be a Nadal/Djokovic final on Sunday.

If Tsitsipas plays at the level he has done since the first round he will ask big questions of Djokovic.

He has a good record against Djokovic.

I fancy the two semi finals to be 3hr + affairs.

What a display from Tsitsipas. Still can’t see him beating Djokovic.

Djokovic seemingly has a neck problem.

Djokovic looks well out of sorts. Think he is carrying an injury or something.

It wouldn’t be the first time where he has looked completely spent and then just came to life physically in games but his body language certainly suggests something is not right physically.

Djokovic doesn’t look well.

1st set Carreno Busta.

Djokovic blowing hard, hunched over and looking dejected.

He is certainly struggling with some physical ailment or illness.

Does he have covid?

He had a few months back.
