When Djokovic is playing and your a linesperson you need to be extra careful

choke job by Altmaier in the 2nd set. From 5-2 to 5-7.

It wouldn't be much of an upset, but I'm taking Schwartzman over Thiem on Tuesday.

I kinda agree, Thiem is looking tired and Diego has been fantastic.

A disputed line call earns Thiem a break in the opening set.

Edit: Schwartzman breaks right back.

Diego is so good at breaking serve, if he had a good serve he would be a top 5 player.

On the women's side, the QUALIFIER Nadia Podoroska has advanced to the semis!

Great tie-breaker from Diego winning it 7-1. First set took just over an hour so we could be here a while.

Wow, this has been a tremendous game. Back and forth and Diego has saved 5 break points thus far.

Edit: 6 break points saved.

Thiem got so lucky in that set. How is he so gassed, he only played 3hrs , 2 days ago you think he would have recovered by now, especially how fit he is.

Four straight games for Thiem including a break to start set 3.

Edit: That's huge for Diego to break right back and stop the Thiem run of games.

Are Sinner and Nadal even going to play today? How late can they play in Paris now?

Well, that might be it for Diego, three set points to force a 5th set and he loses five straight points to get broken.

In all honesty, I think Diego should have won this match already as he's been the more aggressive of the two. Going to a 5th set and it's going to be a late night for Rafa.

It's only 8pm pretend it's the US Open and the day session is creeping into the night session.

Diego with the break of serve as we reach the 5 hour mark in this match.

Edit: He consolidates and leads 5-2.

Diego has advanced to his first grand slam semi-final.
