I appreciate the heart Vasek, but you should have lost that tiebreaker to end the match. I mean a win would be crazy but 10 sets of tennis in one day is insane with the biggest match of your life in a couple days. Beyond that, Wimbledon is dumb having 5 sets for doubles the whole tournament. The other majors do 3. But tradition...

PopSock wins the 3rd set in a tie-breaker, Vasek about to start his 9th set of tennis today.

And Novak down a set to Kevin Anderson after a big double fault serving at 6-6 in the breaker.

Is Vasek wearing a cap for his doubles match? It was a funny coincidence that the tide turned for him in his singles match today after he abandoned wearing his cap.

Kyrgios turned the match against Milos around by going to the official Wimbledon headband (which is ironically illegal to wear properly on court). Tennis players are odd like that.
Edit: PopSock now up a break in the 4th. 10 sets and 2 wins would be legendary.

Big gift back to Novak who appeared in deep trouble down a set and a break, but Anderson chokes a 40-15 game, including a double fault and back on serve.
PopSock....insanity. Vasek's reaction if they win outta be intense.

How much is Roger rolling right now? He's at 105 straight service games without being broken. Even the elite servers like Milos and Karlovic can't say they've done that. Roger and Stan look like the class of the men's side so far.

Novak is now down two sets....he has a very lengthy QF streak going too (I think around 24). Gonna have to dig very deep.

Almost 6 hours of tennis for Vasek so far today. How will his body recover to play Murray? Holy cow.
OH - that's such a disappointment.

Annnnd all for nothing as PopSock lose 8-6 in the 5th. Gotta imagine thats a gut wrenching loss for all that effort.

Well things will get mighty interesting if Novak wins this set beyond just forcing 5. Sounds like this could get moved under Centre for completion....unless of course Anderson refuses which I strongly suspect he would do to try and break the momentum and come back tomorrow. Will be very, very interesting to see where that goes if we get there.

I was at the grounds today. The queue was massive, didn't get in the grounds until 2:00 pm. I wanted to go to the Pospisil match but by the time we got in he was down 2-0 and looking like it was over. Plus there was another queue to get into court 12, what a mistake. Instead I went and watched the jounors play, a Canadian kid named Denis Shapovalov. I don't know tennis very well, but he seems to be very raw with lots of potential. He beat a Korean kid. After his coach came over and chatted with my wife and I and thanked us for our support. We then went and watched a bit of the Bryan brothers match before we had to go. I will try and post some photos later.

+1400 for Pospisil to beat Murray
+170 for Pospisil to win 1 set (+ 2 1/2) - At least I think it is sets. Could be games...
