I'd be doing the opposite of whatever Zverev does, just out of principle.

lol - Hopefully the crowd will help Sinner tomorrow to send the Fraudster packing.

I really like these court level camera angles which really highlights how hard these guys hit the ball and how quick they are...

Nice to see Grigor Dimitrov playing some fine tennis this week - He's into the semi-finals after defeating Hubi Hurkacz (three set that required a tie-break in set 3) and ADF is Dimitrov's opponent on Saturday.

This partisan Monte-Carlo crowd might be able to goad Zverev into a major meltdown and a two month ban which would be a shame, a damn shame.

Sinner is pulling a Michael Chang. Returning 1st serves with his back against the wall and returning 2nd serves right up on or inside the baseline.

Sinner aggressive on deuce points but too passive on ad/break points

Double-faulting Zverev is my favorite Zverev.

Sinner was 4-1 down and then proceeds to win six of the next seven games to take set 1 7-5

Sinner with a beauty passing short (not a great approach by Zverev to be honest) and breaks. Serving at 2-1 in set 2.

Sinner takes a page out of the Zverev book and double-faults on break point.

Zverev didn't need a MTO, he just needed to cool down Sinner prior to the Italian's service game.

Zverev brings the crowd back into it with a badly hit underarm serve followed by a double fault and Sinner breaks.

lol - Zverev serving for the match and completely chokes it away. 5-5 in set 3 and we play on.

Just like the Dimitrov - Hurkacz match earlier today, a third set tie-break will determine the winner.

Somehow, Diego has won the 2nd set.
