[Andy22]

A.Zverev will win this final, great week from N.Kyrgios regardless.

 

[atttomole]

Kyrgios breaks. Zverev is shanking.

 

[Moxie]

Kyrgios started focused, but now he's DF-ing and threatening to give it back.

 

[Moxie]

And yet, he consolidates, and the first emotional outburst comes from Sascha. 4-1 Nick.

 

[atttomole]

Kyrgios takes the first set. I hear that Zverev reached the final without losing a set.

 

[Moxie]

Kyrgios takes the first set. I hear that Zverev reached the final without losing a set.

I heard them say that, too...first set he's lost all week. Nick seems very focused.

 

[Moxie]

And he gives away the break lead. He's getting a little frustrated.
