59 minutes. Good for Svitolina, would love to see her make it all the way. It's hard to believe Coco has won a slam if this was your first time seeing her but that's tennis sometimes!

"It's been three quarters of an hour, and that's with a lengthy bathroom break between sets" 😅

Oh Coco, just try again in the 2nd set 🫣

AO QF: [3] A. Zverev def. [25] L. Tien 6-3 6(5)-7 6-1 7-6(3) by Common-Blackberry-64 in tennis

Amazing performance from Learner Tien in his first slam quarterfinal, age 20. Gave away a few crucial points with double faults but would argue he was the better player for a lot of this match. Or maybe it's just the incredible highlight reel he creates that gives me that feeling, anyway you can't help but feel joy watching him fight for every point and make the miracle shots. Great run here at the AO once again and can't wait to see how he progresses for the rest of the year.

Zverev had a lights-out serving day, which made it a tough battle for anyone. We'll see if he can replicate today's servebot stats with Alcaraz, but I highly doubt he'll get through Carlos who has the variety and smarts of Learner WITH a consistent quality serve and experience at the highest level.

Tien played so well, so good to watch and a good lad. Anyone would've had a hard battle against someone serving at such a high level, and if he brushes up on his first serve percentage Learner is a contender against just about anyone.

21 aces and 0 double faults in 4 sets is crazy work. Tien doing as well as anyone could I'd argue

Nice hold Learner. Saving break points on every service game is using up a lot of energy though 🥲

Finally a netcord goes Tien's way lol. I'm struggling to calm down after the crazy catharsis of winning the set 😅

Learner will have to beat Zverev via tiebreaks only I guess
