I think Roger wanted to see if he could win in a faster time than it takes to prep, make and eat some delicious Italian Meatballs. I'm hungry now.

Speaking of hungry, credit to Pella for showing hunger and fight to force the fifth set.

Isn't he already elite? He's been a fixture in the top 20, top 10 for that matter for most of the last 5 years.

Elite? Nah, you gotta win a lot more than Milos has to be elite. He's consistent though, but not elite or really close.

Elite is, to me, top 5 at least and on a consistent basis.

He has 8 titles in 11 years as a pro.

He is really good, but far from among the best.

You really got to feel for Kei this year he's played some really good tennis at grand slams. The problem is at each quarter he had to go against the GOAT of each tournament...Australian Open faces Novak, French Nadal and now Wimbledon Fed, it literally doesn't get any harder than that.

Daniel Nestor is an all time great doubles player and deserves recognition but Milos is the greatest Canadian tennis player in the history by a large margin. I'm skeptical that he's ever going to take that next step but at the same time it's been great to at least have a Canadian make it to the 2nd week of most majors on a fairly consistent basis.

I'm sure Girly definitely has sympathy for Kei lol.

I'm wondering if Berrettini made some bets with some Italian 'friends'.

Well that's a horrible loss. Credit Pella, good fight and he was better on the ground today than Milos.

Remember when I said Raonic was at 89% on the second serve? He finished the match at 54%. Just a total collapse of his service game if he didn't get that ace.

Had a really good chance to make the semi-finals (I mean, Joker probably crushes him), but hard to believe one of Pella or RBA will be in the semis.

As the old saying goes you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. Milos probably can't beat Novak, but he definitely can't from the sidelines.

Players are complaining about how slow the courts are this year.
