Popsicle takes the 1st set tiebreak 13-11!!!
#CMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Important hold here for Vashy. Letdowns after a close 1st set win are too common for any player (except Fed).
routine hold for Pistol despite making only one first serve
Broke Dodig in the 2nd and promptly gave it back. Serving at just 36% in the 2nd (41% overall).
Rafa, Rafa, where art thou, Rafa? I’m boreeeeeeeeeeed out of my wits waiting for excitement, the kind only a certain lad from Mallorca can generate………….
We want Rafa!
We want Rafa!
We want Rafa!
Hold tight, RITB. He’s on his way.

Nice win by Pospisil. Gotta get that 1st serve percentage up, though. 43% won’t cut it against the best players.
