Up next for Genie is Iga Świątek of Poland, the 19 year old is currently ranked #54 in the world and big things are predicted down the road for her. By the way, live rankings have Genie up to #139 which is a rise of almost 200 ranking spots from about six weeks ago.

Upset alert as PHH takes the opening set over Zverev 6-2. That said, we have seen several comebacks from two sets down already, so Zverev is not out of this by any stretch.

Kei Nishikori and Stefano Travaglia require a 5th and deciding set.

Nishikori, coming back from injury, going 5 sets on clay twice!

Sounds like we missed some drama with Bertens and Errani.

lol - I saw a funny tweet about it, but I'm hesitant to post it because it contains some NSFW language.

Just throw it under a spoiler tag.
I saw something about underhand serves, being called a cheater and then a wheelchair was involved. Kind of sounds like an episode of Seinfeld!

PHH and Zverev also require a 5th and deciding set as PHH takes set 4 by a 6-4 score.

That should be a code violation for Zverev as he came over the net to question a line call.

PHH looked in deep trouble going down a break, but some fine tennis has him back on serve in set 5.
Edit: Oh man, Zverev serving for the match at 5-3 and just puts up a clunker of a game. PHH serving at 4-5
Edit 2: Zverev pulls it out breaking PHH to take the match. Some words exchanged at the net between the two and they weren't exactly cordial.

Zverev was lucky that at 6-2 4-1* 30-40 Herbert figured out he was Herbert and consequently started doing Herbert things.

Yeah, towards the end, both guys were playing not to lose and PHH outdid Zverev.

I wasn't familiar with the term courtsiding and had to look it up...
Courtsiding is the practice of transmitting information from sporting events for the purpose of gambling, or of placing bets directly from a sporting event. It has been observed as occurring most prominently, although not exclusively, in tennis.

With tennis this would be so easy to do. Oh darn another double fault, boy I sure do suck today.
