Happy birthday Thiem the prince of clay! He's one of the few players who has the fire power to take out all members of the Big 3 in any given match. 47% win percentage against the 3 greatest players ever is pretty good.

Hope next year he is healthy again and pushing for majors, it will be a crime against tennis if he never wins the French Open, he's easily the 2nd best clay courts player I have ever watched. His match against Djokovic at the 2019 French Open was so epic.

By the way, Shapo did take a bathroom break last night, but play resumed in approximately 3:30

This Halep - Rybakina opening set tie-break is all kinds of good tennis.

Oh man, shame to see it end on a double fault. Simona takes the opening set 13-11 in the tie-break.

Simona prevails in three sets and is into the round of 16.

How is it possible that we have all these TSN feeds and not one has the Alcarez - Oikos match?

Edit: Okay, TSN4 has the match.

Oikos better go for a bathroom break as Alcaraz is up a double break after three games.

Well, I don't know if young Carlos can maintain this level of tennis, but he takes the opening set 6-3 and clearly has Tsitsipas crapping his pants lol.

My goodness, Alcaraz is playing out of this world.

Edit: 12 games have been played thus far in the match, Carlos has won 9 of them.

Oikos up a break in set 2 as he has raised his level and Carlos has come back down to Earth (especially the first serve percentage).

Brutal... he gets ahead 0-40 to get back on serve and loses all three break points.

Looking at the numbers, pretty crazy that set 2 was that close...

I would think after this set we see the longer break.

Tsitsipas leads for the first time today as he's up a break in set 3.

Where is the Tsitsipas match on? Currently TSN has the Stephens vs Kerber match on 3 different channels

I'm watching it on my laptop via TSN.ca (they have an Arthur Ashe feed).

That was some strong tennis from Carlos getting one of those breaks back.
