I see that the mad chemists on Team Djokovic are busy at work putting together a magic concoction to help out Novak.

I hope security is tossing that fan who is yelling as Carlitos is starting to serve.

Might be of no interest to you, but I'd like to know what exactly mad chemists are doing right now to Darian King to help him get what he's achieving. Have they somehow found his fountain of youth. He made QFs at the Winnipeg Challenger just a few days ago taking out Benjamin Bonzi of note and has now just qualified for the Winston-Salem Open.

Strange things are happening here I tell ya!

I watched the Netflix doc Untold: Hall of Shame about Victor Conte and the BALCO lab last night. It was darn good. Talk about a mad chemist lol

Jeepers, if D. King's taking THAT stuff it's sure helping him hit a bunch of home runs on the tennis court!

Novak struggling with the heat and the shadows (shade) on court. Charlie breaks and is serving for the opening set at 6-5

By the way, Leylah is playing the WTA 250 event in Cleveland this week and just dusted Linda Noskova 6-0 6-2. She is certainly finding some better form of late and you can see the confidence returning.

Novak with three DFs in a row, Charlie breaks, and now a visit from the trainer for Nole. Not looking good.

Charlie with a piss poor service game and we're back on serve in set 2.

Edit: The complexion of this match has totally changed.

I would suggest to Charlie to win this tie-break and put Novak away because I don't like his chances in a 3rd set.

It looks like Charlie spending double the time on court this week to Novak has caught up to him. Incredibly, Novak looks the fresher of the two when it looked that Djoker was going to collapse in set 2.

Oh man, what a shot to save the match by Charlie.

Edit: Novak serving for the match at 5-4 in set 3, but that save by Carlitos was special.

Charlie breaks and we play on at 5-5 on set 3. Novak missed a overhead smash from the baseline.

Alcaraz has gotten to so many balls I'd thought he had no chance on

He saves his best tennis when he's facing break point.

Just a reminder that Novak was up 5-3 in this 3rd set (Charlie serving). It's now 5-6 with Novak serving to force a 3rd set tie-break.
