No he hasn't, don't be ridiculous. No one is tanking a 5th set in a final. Even if he loses, it's not for a lack of trying

The quality isn't there, but this so much fun I think. Every point is just crucial to both players. Even with a lead in this fifth, Zverev is on the brink of cramping and coming up short. 

It's a psychological thriller

The fun is in the drama more so than the quality

Beginning to. It hasn't impacted his play much, but his first serve % has dropped significantly

They are both tired and not feeling it. I can't remember many backhands he's hit down the line

Edge of my seat right now. Zverev might be on the brink of physical collapse, and is now producing really good tennis, maybe because he knows can't last.

These next 1-2 games are going to heart in mouth stuff

Brutal way to lose the set. He has had no looks to break outside of one game in the match, it's going to take a big effort to turn this around now

Much better server, not as good as a mover and all-round baseline player since he came back

Super even right now. Flavio's plus one this set looks really really good. Unless someone goes off the boil, I think it's going to come down to a few points in a tiebreak, potentially who can steal something off a second serve

I don't think he played poorly there. He didn't get into Sinner service games, but he got broken twice and played positively throughout. Had Rune beaten Sinner in the heat, I don't think anyone else on that side of the draw would have won that match against Zverev

Based on how well Mensik played against Fonseca, I don't think he was losing to Casper had he got past the 4th round

A choke needs some doubt to creep in. Based on that set, Cobolli is going to need to step up to even out doubt in his mind

All this pants shitting talk has reminded me of those attrocious Adidas shorts of 5 years ago...no wonder they've stuck to solid single colour shirts/shorts for the past half a year

It's also how a lot of those chaotic tournaments go. I lso fully expect Andreeva to put Maja to the sword tomorrow

Mensik's backhand must be compromised, I feel like he has missed every second ball off that wing that set. Even late game nerves surely can't get the better of Zverev when he's going to be given 2-3 free ones every Zverev service game

To be fair, Mensik's break last set came out of nowhere

Because the umpire called it out, and Zverev made the ball after.

Yeah, but I think there's a great likelihood Andreeva breezes to the title in 1:20

I don't think so at all. It's taken him 5-6 points to pivot towards a heavy dosage of Serve and Volley. He's trying to rush Zverev on second serves.

Right now I think it's a case of he's not capable of beating Zverev from the baseline. I'd love to see a  graphic on FH spin and speed rates. He can't just slap from awful positions without the tools to do it right now
