Nice first set by Zverev.

Nice first set by Zverev.

It was--Shelton's going to have to greatly improve his level of play--which he's done before in this tournament so it's possible

 

[KingLando]

Sasha just destroyed Ben in the 2nd set tiebreaker
This is a lot like yesterday--Sasha is remaining calm. Ben is trying to pump himself up at random times--the whole call for the crowd when you go up 40-30 down 6-5 is just odd. Got to the breaker though so maybe it worked to some degree

 

[dcf4psu]

Shelton celebrating being able to hold serve tells you everything. Right now and I don’t see it changing this is a mismatch.

 

[KingLando]

I'm also convinced Sasha is taking even more time than normal between his serves because Ben reacted to it early.

 

[KingLando]

Sasha got tight serving to go the breaker--we go to a 4th

It’s what separates Sinner/ Alcaraz from Zverev.

 

[KingLando]

Then Ben gets broken to start the 4th

 

[dcf4psu]

That was a great championship performance in the 4t set. Well done Sasha.

 

[KingLando]

The better player won--Ben's definitely going to have to take a lot from that match if he wants to win one someday

With the crowd being so belligerent I found it almost impossible to root for Shelton.

With the crowd being so belligerent I found it almost impossible to root for Shelton.

The constant celebrating a fault on Sasha's first serve was beyond annoying

You've got to be kidding.
