Djoker - Fucsovics started 30 minutes later than this match and is going to end much earlier.

Man, Khachanov always seems to hit a good first serve whenever Denis gets a break point. Really annoying. Also he never seems to miss long.

Gonna be one heck of a 5th here. Basically whoever resists the pressure the best wins (duh) but both have shown some weakness in big moments and could easily go either way

Well, Khachanov was playing lights out tennis for close to an hour, a let off was bound to happen. Come on Denis, your reward is a date with Novak in the semi-finals.

Man, I wish Khachanov's first serve at 40-15 there was in. Denis murdered that ball. Clean winner on the backhand. Maybe the ensuing double fault was more psychologically damaging but I doubt it.

Just thought I'd add that I really enjoy Martina Navratilova's commentary and analysis during this match. So refreshing from Johnny Mac.

Where are you watching? I'm on ESPN2 and getting Drysdale and Darren Cahill, and Drysdale's really into it. Quite good analysis too.

Just like in set 3, Denis fails to capitalize on his opportunities and gives the momentum to Khachanov.

Hopefully this doesn't turn the match around. Shapo needs to be better on BPs

I would say the serve is working (5th set and 137 MPH rocket).

It doesn't take much though. He's had two double faults in this set. They haven't hurt him, but if that happens at the wrong time...
EDIT: God dammit Karen can you miss long for once.

Khachanov says not so fast Denis, I can't let you get too far ahead in the double faults tally.

FFS it's like he's teasing him with these break points... serves like crap, gets down break point and turns into a complete servebot.
EDIT: That is exactly what he should be doing when Karen comes in. Too many times he's looked for a clean pass. Just smash the ball at the guy and let him try to deal with it.
FFS AGAIN.
