He’s in serious bother. He looks lost as to what to do.
If he comes out of this it looks like it will take him over 4 hours.
Djokovic looks very down in the dumps and doesn’t seem to have any ideas at the moment how to play this kid.
That’s the way to beat Djokovic and that’s why he’s not the same player on clay.
He likes it when his opponent generates the pace, Musetti is just mixing it all game, drop shots, slices, airballs and he’s playing so freely that he can power those winners and catch Djokovic off guard.
Djokovic can be backed @ 11/10.
Early break for Djokovic. This will be a quick set.
Djokovic much more aggressive.
Djokovic with the double break.
Be interesting to see if Musetti can up it in the 4th.
A 23 minute set for Djokovic there.
Musetti has crumbled here.
Djokovic is going to run out here.
3 break points in the first game of the fourth set for Djokovic.
A break to love for Djokovic.
6-1 6-0
Hard to see Musetti getting it together for the 5th.
Musetti serves first in the 5th. If he doesn’t win that, he’s gone.
Musetti has the trainer on.
Djokovic cuts his knuckle with a fall.
This is over.
Two break points for Djokovic in the first game of the 5th.
Musetti retires in the 5th set. I think it was more a mental collapse but tbf he’s a 19 year old who had his first ever 5 set game two days ago.

It takes time for players to be able to play a 5 set match. This is the advantage that the older players have over the younger players.
Sinner broken already
Break point for Sinner here.
Sinner breaks back here. This could be a long one.
If Nadal makes the semi it’s important he does it as hassle free as he can put Dinner and Schwartzman are two players who won’t give you anything easy
Nadal’s shots coming up short
Nadal very nervy here.
Two double faults in his opening 3 service games, lots of mistakes.
