Yes. Very admirable performance by Pops especially considering he was feeling very physically unwell since early 2nd set.
2 things have really got my attention about Pops' game. 1) his hard and more consistent hitting off the ground and, 2) he's been serving so huge throughout this tournament, regularly booming in his 1st serves in at 210+ KPH. Don't recall him ever serving that big before.
