Ha, Mooseburger, of all people, is about to advance ...

Kyrgios vs Paire was a riot but I think Paire's in full-on folding mode now. I swore I heard the ump call fault at 5-5 in the TB, except no one heard so he just called 6-5...
This Kyrgios is good though.
23 straight points from 1-5 down for Murray in the end, nearly a golden set's worth.

Yeah, that happened; very strange. But our commentators said the ball was shown to be good, so 6-5 was correct, thankfully. |

Del Potro lost the 4th set? Oh, man! But Bautista's playing well.

Ha, Mooseburger, of all people, is about to advance ... Her first Slam R3 after losing in R2 six times! And this takes her into the top 40. |

So Simon was on crutches a few days ago and now leads in the 5th set? So much great stuff this morning! (not you, Mooseburger!)

Del Potro lost the 4th set? Oh, man! But Bautista's playing well. I initially did a double take but remembered Bautista impressing me at times last year - he's not your typical grinding ESP. Chennai final last year, pushed Ferrer at Wimbledon. Dunno what FeVer is doing in a fifth set against Gabashvili though. |

Yeah, that's bizarre about Verdasco. I don't find myself caring, though. Just glad to see Paire actually trying here!

Benoit has used up all his challenges at 3-3, and after a little surge of energy, he's gone all flat again.  |

I don't like Moose Burger particularly but I'm not mad at her, mostly because I don't really like BoJo either.
So Simon, on crutches on Saturday, has just won back-to-back five-setters. LOL. Neither televised and I'm not sure whether to be frustrated or thankful.

Wow! I didn't know this was his 2nd 5-setter. Incroyable!
I can't decide what to think about Paire right now!

Kyrgios does NOT look like a guy who could have been in Juniors last year; he looks 25. Anyway I'm so glad to see Paire battling out there. yes yes yes

I can't decide what to think about Paire right now! This is Paire summed up tbh. Verdasco just served three straight DFs to get broken in the fifth. Is his last name Shvedova? |

Kyrgios does NOT look like a guy who could have been in Juniors last year; he looks 25. I was JUST thinking this. A contrast to fellow break-out prodigy Kokkinakis, who looks like a skinny schoolboy despite his height... |

Ha, that's true about Paire; he's always an enigma, not just today. I so want him to win this game and this set.

YES! This will be interesting, since Kyrgios was cramping earlier. Why is the crowd booing. idiots

So Gabashvili goes to serve for the match and loses his serve at love. Are you Millot?

Gabashvili serves for the match vs Verdasco. Broken to love.
Paire is one of my faves but, like Dolgopolov, I rarely find myself emotionally invested in his matches because I have no expectations. I just like to watch them play.

Verdasco loses the match on a botched volley anyway. Useless.

Watching Pony and no idea why he just isn't going for any of his shots? Just rallying aimlessly...
Kyrgios is ailing physically and suddenly looking like a kid again.

Bautista wins. Nice to see him get a big win in a Slam after blowing a few opportunities last year but man, that was a pretty pathetic performance from Delpo.

Aww, Delpo. I feel so bad about that loss.  But, yeah, Agut deserved it. This is painful watching Kyrgios limping around! |

And yet, and yet ... Kyrgios is doing okay all of a sudden! This is wild! What a fun match, just when I thought it was almost retirement by cramps time.

Wow, so fun! Benoit coming back from 2 sets down is astonishing, both guys fighting so hard, love both guys, very very happy with this surprise AM tennis. By the way, that 5-set Paire match did not last as long as Ma$ha's 3-setter.  |
