So Cilic is in a 5th and deciding set what an upset this would be if he somehow loses. But would help out Raonic as he would have a clear path until the Semi’s.

Two match points for Pella.

edit: now one after an ace from Cilic and now none after a service winner.

Pella does it on the 4th match point. What an opportunity for Milos now to make a deep run.

Now if that Federer fellow would just lose, Milos might actually win the whole thing!

Milos could now meet likely Isner or Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals (provided he takes care of business).

Put it this way, she doesn't look like the #188 ranked player in the world.
Are you kidding? she has no game and is a mental midget. She would be lucky to get back to 100.
I get you guys like to cheer for her because she is Canadian, but she really isn't any good and her run in 2014 might be the most mind boggling streak in tennis history.

Well, I can definitely understand the skepticism and the next 6 months could be very telling. Her opponent today is currently ranked #17 in the world and Genie gave her a good battle, so I guess all I'm saying is that whatever Genie is currently doing seems to be working.

2 time Champ Nadal into the 3rd round but big story developing with Djoker as he is up 2 sets and a break but called a trainer to look at his knee. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Djoker wins in straights so hope he can recover before his next match.

Working with Lansdorp is possibly the best decision she has made in years and the only one i'm willing to give her credit for in a long while. If she adhere's to his work ethic and expectations it might go a long way to saving her career.

Milos absolutely needs to cash in his good fortune this year with Cilic out. Having a likely worn out Isner as the only serious opposition between him and another semifinal clash with Federer at Wimbledon isn't going to happen again.

This could be Milos' year to get back into the finals if he stays healthy enough to give Roger a good run for it the way he is striking the ball right now.

Is this one of the few occasions when Girly is rooting for Tomic?

Such irrational hate. Is Nishikori North Korean or something?

Everyone needs to hate dbag Tomic though. He'll fold like a cheap tent when the going gets tough.

Too many double faults are creeping into Shapo's serve and he is down a break in the second set to Paire.
