It would be great if this is a harbinger of a sustained return to form for Osaka. She's an entertaining player and person.

Tiafoe losing to Shapavalov bummed me a lot, especially after taking the first set. Until I learned a kid my brother and I grew up playing with has been coaching the lefty for a year now...then it only bummed me out a little.
Yeah, he’s gagging it now. Was serving to go up 5-1 in the 5th and has lost four straight games.
Anyone know why the Tennis Channel has stopped coverage of the French Open when there are still live matches going on and upcoming (including Djokovic)?
NBC has exclusive US coverage starting at Noon Eastern today and tomorrow. On Peacock starting at 3:00.
Doesn't Paris have curfew?
Isn't Musetti the same guy who beat Federer and/or Nadal in the past?

Onto a 5th set. It's promising for Djokovic that he closed the 4th with 3 straight breaks, but even if he pulls this out, can't believe he can go much further in this tournament. Playing opponents 12-15 years younger almost every match takes a serious toll.
Nice sequence: Novak gets a time violation, Musetti tries to decline it, but chair umpire overrides
4 and a half hour match and NBC gives us a 90 second postmatch recap.
Djokovic won 10 of the last 11 games after being down 2 sets to 1 2-2 in the 4th. In 2021 French, Musetti won the first two sets followed by Djokovic winning 16 of the remaining 17 games. Musetti retired at 0-4 in the 5th. Stuck around tonight for the 0-6 5th set.

It's a shame that TC's replay is using the world feed, but this should fill up overnight programming for TC until R4 coverage at 5am ET
edit: oh wow, the seats were mostly filled at first ball. wonder when the stands started emptying

I have the Hurkacz-Dimitrov match on while folding laundry and I spotted Shirine Boutella, aka Lieutenant Sofia from Lupin, in the first row. That is all.
Moutet is 1/3 of his way to a big upset. But you can’t watch it, unless you have Peacock.
Sorry, I’m a bit salty. My multiple streaming plans evidently don’t include Peacock. No worries though. I can watch day 2 of the men’s gymnastics championships instead.

You know, NBC Sports, you're on Peacock, and there is no restrictions on the timeslot. You could do some post-match coverage. You're just driving us all over to TC...
They didn’t even show a post-match interview with Djokovic yesterday! The GOAT having to play until 3 AM, finding another gear late, inspired by the crowd, Peacock had to go off the air.
I didn’t see it all but what I saw wasn’t so compelling if it helps. Moutet destroyed Sinner in the 1st, Sinner destroyed Moutet after that.
You're completely right and mine was just another "old man yells at clouds" comment that was better served in another thread. Just super frustrated with the state of sports on TV these days.
Right there with you, I absolutely hate watching sports on streaming and losing my ability to FF effectively, plus it craps out sometimes mid-action.
No upsets again today, so now there are 12 men left, 11 of the top 13 seeds plus #23 Cerundolo, no unseeded men left.
The top women are also mostly breezing through their matches, Swiatek won at love and love today in 40 minutes, single fastest match of her bagel-filled career.
Think Noah, McEnroe and Carrillo wanted to beat traffic.
I am quite puzzled by NBC Sports' investment in the French.
Im streaming on mute while on a zoom call and when I first tuned in it looked like he was receiving treatment for something. Any idea what was going on?
I think he is not being treated, he is complaining that the court needs to be swept more often and those were player reps and tournament reps listening to and ignoring his complaint.
Interesting thanks. At any rate he's saving break points at the same rate I used to pound short forehands into the top of the net (ie, often).
No idea how Djokovic won that set as his movement is somewhat limited with the leg issue. We'll see what happens in the 5th.
It's amazing to me that no matter what level or sport we are talking about, injuries/movement seem to magically get a bit better when you are playing better. And then the movement looks far worse after a lost point or two!
Not a comment on Djokovic so much as a comment on athletes across sports across all levels.
