Rublev won the first set, 6-4.

[Donny]

Wow. Incredible rallies.

Alex takes the second set tie-breaker.

[Donny]

... and the third. Also a tie-breaker.

[Donny]

C'morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnn Lleyton. Why so serious ?

Alex needs to see you looking positive, not anxious.

[Donny]

Two sets each. Into the 5th.

Alex down a break already.

[Donny]

Now, a double break.

Trailing 0-3.

[Donny]

Rublev wins the 5th., and the match.

...
Why are Tsitsipas's odds so long?

Back injury.

But he's talking up his 'miraculous' recovery!

Lost to Fritz.

Women's #1 Iga Świątek lost this evening.

Maybe I jinxed her by having a nibble...

[Jezza]

Djokovic, Sinner (who hasn't dropped a set yet) and Medvedev are through to the SFs.

Zverev is currently up a set against Alcaraz as we speak.

[K]

Sinner wins!!

Beat Djoker in 4 in the SF & Medvedev in 5 in the F.

[Jezza]

Well done to Sinner. Really want to see him and Alcaraz go head to head.

Feel sorry for Medvedev. Lost his 3rd AO final, and for the second time relinquished a 2-set lead just as he did against Nadal in 2022.

Jezza, Daniil is King of the Runner-Up Speech!!

Jezza, Daniil is King of the Runner-Up Speech!!

Becoming the new Andy Murray.

Murray lost 5 AO finals through the 2010s (2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016).

Medevedev has now lost 3 AO finals through the 2020s (2021, 2022, 2024)

Jezza, how 'bout losing GS finals from 2 sets up? Daniil has 3 (2 of them against Rafa), right? Wonder who else has 3+...
