It's another final set TB.

Alcaraz vs Tsitsipas

And Alcaraz takes it by 7-6(5)!   

Alcaraz was amazing there.

I'm a bit late but Dan's match was a fantastic contest. Incredible volleying and passing shots. Some of the points were ridiculous. Crowd seemed to love it too.

 Even later for me and wasn't thinking I'd be watching for over 4 hours. Can't imagine how it must feel to be on court for that length of time and who'd have thought Dan would have the legs (always knew he'd have the heart). What a match. So looking forward to the next. Thanks Dan for a great watch.

Rublev and Tiafoe starting their fifth set at what is just before 2 am. Crazy.

If Francis wins that 3.rd quarter of the draw is wide open, massive opportunity for someone

And to all the anti-fifth set tie-break peeps, my household at the moment all announced they were off to bed at about 3-3 in the fifth of Dan's match, coz it 'could go on for ages' - and then realised there'd be a TB at 6-6 and said 'oh, yeah, right, might as well watch it then' - and were jumping out of their seats and cheering
(I/we could have lived with a 10 point TB, if needs be, but God bless a tie-break, at 6-6 !)

And Tiafoe took the final set and this is wide open - shame Dan has the toughest player in the lower half next !
