Tiafoe gave a good last gasp there, but Shapo saves the break point and converts on his first match point opportunity. Overall a pretty good match from Denis. A lull in the middle, but the first half of set 2 was very good tennis from him. Some great shots hit at net. Frankly, I thought he was a bit unlucky on the whole in the rallies, as a good half dozen of his relatively few unforced errors were an inch or less from the line. But Tiafoe played pretty well, just a bit more run down by the course of the tourney it seemed like.
Meanwhile, Anderson now back on serve in set 2, somehow. I guess showing up an hour late is better than not showing up at all.
