Holger has lost his mind to start set 4 and Francisco is up a double break, Barring a quick turnaround, we are indeed going five sets.

Edit: Trainer is out for Rune now.

I'm not saying that Rune tanked that 4th set, but Rune tanked that 4th set.

Ok tennis, decide. Allow coaches at changeover or make them sit up away from the lines. Rune’s coach totally telling him what to do, Rune looking back and not really hearing him well says “huh???” So comical. Also isn’t that the same coach who got in trouble a few years ago for coaching during the match?

Yup, that's Patrick Mouratoglou. He's an easy guy to dislike.

Oh Frankie, you had three break points, couldn't cash in, and then Holger breaks the very next game. That missed forehand at 30-40 on the Rune serve was likely the match.

Edit: Rune tosses in a pretty poor service game and we play on at 5-5 in set 5.

While that's true, his Youtube tutorial videos are pretty decent if you are looking for pointers in how to improve your game.

I like Rune, but I want him to lose because of the coaching.

Rune survives 10-7 in the 5th set super-breaker.

Khachanov takes the opening set 6-4 over Djokovic. Needs to keep serving like he did in that first set. As for Novak, he looks a little dopey out there today. We'll see if he responds in set 2.

Djokovic bagels Khachanov in the 2nd set tie-break. Best of three match now.

A Canadian is guaranteed to be playing in the mixed doubles final. Awesome!

Heard an interesting stat, Djokovic has made more quarter finals at the French Open than Nadal and Nadal has made more quarter finals at the Australian Open than Djokovic

And then Khachanov is broken at love - Novak serving for the match at 5-4 in set 4

Edit: 8 straight points by Djokovic to close out the match.

Good. Need as much firepower left in the draw as possible to dispose of Zverev... dude has had the easiest path to a GS Semifinal that I can remember.
