Things could be worse Jack - We could be Sabres fans.

Fritz and Bublik have gone to a 3rd set which will delay the Milos - Hurkacz match by another 45 minutes to a hour.

Milos and Hurkacz are just warming up as I type - Let's go Milos!

That's a big early test for Milos (down love-40 in his first service game and he holds)

And then Milos proceeds to break Hurkacz in the very next game. Nice.

Uh oh, I hope Milos is okay, he pulled up kind of awkwardly on that last point. Serving for the opening set at 5-4

Edit: Milos appears to be okay and seals the first set with an ace taking it 6-4

Milos and Hubert Hurkacz are going the distance as Hurkacz wins set 2 6-3. Milos needs to up that first serve percentage as Hurkacz is feasting on that 2nd serve.

Good start to the 3rd set - Milos playing on the front foot and making some big serves to get the hold.

I think that was a 1 minute service game for Milos. On serve with Hurkacz serving at 3-4

Well, let's see if a little scoreboard pressure gets to Hurkacz as he serves to stay in the match at 4-5

Edit: Aside from an easy putaway at the net, no problem for Hubert. We play on.

What does it say when Bianca knocks Naomi Osaka from primetime? Bianca plays at 7 PM Eastern time on Wednesday while the Osaka - Sakkari match goes at 1 PM Eastern in the afternoon.

3rd set tie-breaker to decide the Milos - Hurkacz match.

Heck of a time to play a clunker of a tie-breaker Milos. And yet if he could have won that point at 6-4, I think Hurkacz was in big trouble. Oh well.
