From 4-0 Kyrgios in the TB, Rublev takes the set.

I also want to know what or who lit a fire under Gael's ass to make him play like a pro after clowning away his best years.

Now it's getting dicey in the other TB, too.

Shapo will have nightmares about this TB after coming back in this set...

Really? That is hard to believe...I mean not impossible of course but after all these years, all those coaches?
Maybe just competing with your GF is enough? She's still in the tournament. I'm half kidding. But she's also a more even-headed player. Perhaps it helps.

I think so too. And I read here a few months ago, someone said they separated, but that is not true.
No, they're together, and very cute. Always smiling. And they practice together. Probably good for both. Lendl helped Murray. Why not a stabilizing influence in a GF for Le Monf?

I guess it is possible. I have seen gals set many a guy straight, even late in life. Good for her and him, if that is the case.

They are hitting surely together

The relationship most likely helps both of them

I really don't go in for the treacly notion that marriage and/or kids focus people. And TBH, I think Gael has become more focused in late career...not sure when the GF came into the equation. But who knows? Something is working rather better, anyway.

If Monfils can keep it close with Denis, I think he'll win. Denis is playing better than he's played in an age, for the last bit, but I'm not convinced it'll last. His big hitting game relies so much on confidence and flying free. If it stays close, I think DS will be the one to blink.

And break to Monfils on Armstrong.
