Tsitsipas looking good here. Making Busta look ordinary on clay.
Medvedev making short work of Garin on Lenglen too.
Should be a good quarter.
Is it possible Medvedev has just tried to play possum on clay for a while now?
Make out he is rubbish on it and have people write him off only to then show that’s not the case at all. He hadn’t even been past R1 on RG before this year and had early exits at both Madrid and Rome.
Take everything Medvedev says with a pinch of salt.
Serena looks set for another failed attempt.
The Great Man has very sensibly pulled out of the Mud Show in Paris. Knee was seemingly causing him problems against that German chap last night.
Where is Federer likely to seeded at Wimbledon this year?
Think he now drops 540 ranking points from his RG SF appearance in 2019 so will probably be about 3-4k ranking points off the top 4.
Unlikely to get seeded in the top 4 this tie around I would suspect.
@Tassotti is a member of the All England Club. He’s probably best placed here to provide some insight into what the Club are thinking about the seeding process for this year.
It looks like Federer will be seeded somewhere between 5-8 for Wimbledon, don’t think there is anyway he can make the top 4 this time around.
Will be the first time he’s been seeded outside the top 4 since 2002.
Another highly impressive performance from Zverev here.
Nishikori needs to hang up the racket. Dire performance. Zverev playing well though.
Gauff qualifies for his first slam QF with a 53 minute dismantling of their opponent.
I was going to ask before this tournament if Gauff was just the female tennis equivalent of Freddy Adu after her disappointing performances since here initial breakthrough.
Struff looks set to take the first set against Schwartzman. 5-1 up.
This would be a surprise, Nadal would probably prefer Struff out of these two if he can get past Sinner today.
A sixth set point for Struff here.
And Schwatzman saves it again. He’s had 6 set points over 3 games and lil Diego keeps on hanging in there.
From 5-1 up to 5-5 and 6 set points pissed away over 3 games for Struff.
This is exactly why Nadal does not want Schwartzman potentially two days before a huge match with Djokovic.
Even if it’s straight sets its probably over 3 hours.
Lil Diego has Struff figured out here now. Will close the match out in 3 I’d suspect.
7th set point for Struff.
And misses it.
Schwartzman takes the first set 11-9 in the tie break.
That will crush Struff. He had 7 set points in that set and failed to convert any of them
