Popyrin with the break. Djokovic has an absurd 48% first serve.

Meddy's coach Gilles Cervara is usually donning a NHL hat of the tournament city or a team in close proximity. Maybe he can wear a Blue Jackets or Flames cap for Meddy's next match.

Popyrin channeling some del Potro energy. Big serves and big forehands. He also seems to be reading Djokovic's serve well as well.

ETA: Popyrin favoring his right ankle slightly. Was stretching it out on the changeover.

Ruud survives in five sets, by the way. As far as Popyrin is concerned...

Popyrin breaks and is serving at 3-2 in set 4.

Crowd is getting very unruly which is to be expected, I guess.

That's a huge consolidation from 15-40 down by the Aussie.

13 double faults for Novak - That's crazy. And Popyrin breaks again. It is happening.

Edit: Novak gets one of the breaks back.

First time since 2002 that none of the Big 3 wins a grand slam.

So crazy!

But that's an incredible 22 years of tennis. Hoping for more from Sinner and Alcaraz.

Okay, now we need Etcheverry to eliminate the domestic abuser.

That would be his first repeat tourney win. Why not Casper Ruud?
