I mean, if you're Denis, you can't get down about this. Just go and hold. You've given every indication you can break the guy, no reason to think you won't get another chance next time he serves.
After the way he kept it together to serve out the 4th the frustration he showed after that net cord was surprising.

Damn, he could totally be winning this set and is down 3-0. Such a fine line.
But he can totally beat Nadal.

Yeah Shapo served pretty well for the most part but is also seeing a lot fewer serves come back. If he can just get this level I think he has to be favoured... easier said than done.

Unforced errors.
Too bad.

Well, he's making Rafa work if nothing else, just hold here to keep any hope alive.

Yeah Denis should have won that point. As long as he doesn't drop his serve again he'll get another chance, I really do believe it.

Shapo needs another gear, quick.
Nasal just hanging on physically.

Never noticed Nadal's pre serve ritual until my wife pointed it out. Now I can't stop seeing it.

Shapo says "Take that Rafa fans" as he sends the ball whizzing past Rafa.

Nadal is there for the taking. He doesn't look good.
Just stop with all the unforced errors.

Too many gifts! Just no need to try to destroy that ball! Had the whole court to put that ball in.

The good thing is, whoever wins gets two days off before the semi to recover.

Weird how Rafa looked physically done goes for a long bathroom break and comes back a totally new man in the 5th set. Also Denis is making so many errors here. Nothing more frustrating than cheering on a player at crunch time and having him crush it into the net over and over... reminds me of Milos any time he got close

Well, do or die. It would be cool if Dennis could break to give us some hope.
Just please don't beat yourself here.

Nah, he's been wincing, moving slowly, moving gingerly between points... he's not 100%. It's nothing that is affecting his ability to hit shots when he needs to but he's not faking.
