Not very encouraging...
He's playing his worst tennis at the business end of the set. Oh well, valuable lessons being learned today.

Okay then, Diallo takes set 3 6-3 and will serve to start set 4. Have to think Nishikori might start feeling it in his legs the longer this match goes.

Yeah, he's stepped it up and Nishikori is starting to look a little fatigued to me.

We're going to a 5th and deciding set as Diallo takes set 4 6-1. After that last break of serve, Nishikori tanked that last game. Veteran move lol

Another veteran move as Nishikori is taking a MTO to get a back massage. It's more to throw Diallo off than anything else is my guess.

Edit: Gabriel breaks to start set 5. Let's go!!

Edit 2: Not able to consolidate though.

Shocked Kei took an MTO. Once a cheat always a cheat.

Rats, Diallo broken trying to get it into a 5th set match tie-breaker. That's a shame, I think he actually won more points today than Nishikori did.

Edit: Indeed he did. Total points won, Diallo 180, Nishikori 167

Well, if it makes you feel any better, he's not going to go very far in this tourney, very lucky to win over Gabe today.

Stan the Man takes out Andy Murray in straight sets. Andy recently switched to a Yonex Ezone 100, but it didn't do him any good today.

Rafa vs. Zverev has started under the roof. A break to love by Zverev kicks things off.

Felix is through in straight sets over Nishioka. That's a good start to a Monday.

Nadal isn't playing bad but Zverev is playing unreal. Such terrible luck he had to draw him first round

Rafa saves two break points and then breaks Zverev. The crowd erupts in delight.
