So Joker closes the gap to get to within 4 now of Federer and two of Nadal.
This one has to hurt the most for Federer out of all the ones he lost.

Not sure how announcer describes it as "comeback" victory for Djokovic.

I think he means he was down a break and down 15-40 in the 5th set so he had to comeback from that.

Probably. But Federer was down a set and then down 4-2 in the fifth. Can it be a comeback victory for both?

Joker was down 2 match points and hit probably the greatest shot of his life at 40-30 in that game.
Incredible performance. Joker and Nadal continue their push towards fed.

On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Djokovic is just better in big spots. Simple as that really.

This seems like the best chance of ending this weekend that I can remember. I believe only Nadal wasn't born in the 90s of who is left. Obviously he is the heavy favorite.

Have an Andreescu +1600 ticket. Not expecting a win but if she gets past the rando Swiss lady in semis I can at least lock in profit on a hedge
She is fun to watch as well, terrible attitude out there at all times with random bouts of yelling but very skilled and has the crafty slice game a la boo from mariotennis

When Nadal wins, anyway.
Random question, but who the hell represents the next generation in Men's tennis? Federer, Nadal and Djokovic still win every tournament. The only prospect that I can even name that excites me is Denis Shapovalov. He plays a really fun style, and has a good overall game. He is still such a long ways away, if ever, from competing with those guys though.
