Not sure what feels worse: Getting broken at love or losing a game up 0-40
Collins has experienced both in the past 10 minutes.

This changed fast. Weird match. Now please excuse me as I casually walk to my seat behind the players.
You’re right. Looks like it was a few minutes under 3 hours with the rain delay removed.
Zverev/Klein and Ruud/Purcell about to go to 5th set tiebreakers at the same time. ESPN needs a Red Zone style channel for this event.
Longest tiebreak ever in a Grand Slam, men’s or women’s.
===========
The previous record was 38 points, which happened on two occasions:
2007 Australian Open, 1st set tiebreak, Tsonga d. Roddick 20-18 (Roddick lost the tiebreak but won the match)
2023 Wimbledon, final set tiebreak, Tsurenko d. Bogdan 20-18

I’ve won and lost many sets that had fewer points than that breaker. Caught the last 10 minutes, pretty compelling stuff.
Med off to a slow start vs Ruusuvuori down an early break in first set…
It’s 1:15 AM and Medvedev is in a 2nd set tiebreaker. This could go past 4 AM if it goes 5 sets.
Djokovic calls out heckler, tells him to "say it to my face", etc. Just more evidence of him being a jackass.
The worst part is Nick Kyrgios doing color commentary, saying that the fan should not have "poked the bear". That's like having Draymond Green remarking on player propriety during altercations. I even like Kyrgios, he's juuuuust on the right side of the "entertaining-vs-douchebag" line for me, but if there's one thing he shouldn't be getting on his high horse about, it's fan abuse and on-court conduct.

442nd ranked Amanda Anisimova into the 4th round with a straight sets victory over 100th ranked Paula Badosa.
Andreeva and Parry with a wild match of alternating dominance:
Parry 6-1
Andreeva 6-1
Parry 5-1
Andreeva 6-1 including a lopsided 10-5 deciding tiebreaker
If Andreeva goes on to win it all (she won’t), good chance she would have to beat the 6, 9, 2, 4 and 1 seeds.
Parry 6-1

Djokovic with a workmanlike straight set win over #30 Etcheverry, through to the 16.
Shelton and Mannarino in an epic war, closing in on five hours now and deep into the 5th set. Mannarino was up 5-2 but Shelton cut it to 5-4, Mannarino with a second chance to serve it out now and face Djokovic next round.

Mannarino holds on and knocks out Shelton, have to think Djokovic is happy about that outcome. Shelton is a 21 year old superfreak athlete who has some bad blood with Novak after he mocked him at the US Open, Mannarino is very good but he is 35 and just played three straight five setters. Djokovic is 4-0 career H2H against Mannarino but no meetings since 2018.
Shelton will lose a fair amount of points since he made the quarters last year. The good news is he basically did nothing between Oz and the U.S. open so he should be able to accumulate a good chunk going forward
Noskova serves it out 6-4. Was down 0-30 at 5-4, but won the last 4 points.
Only 3 Top 10 seeds make the Round of 16. None in the top half, although 2 time champion Azarenka is in the top half.
