    Ugandan at the front s setting too quick a pace. No one's going with him. He should dial it back a smidge.

    Best result of the night, Alexander Zverev comes from a set down to beat Novak Djokovic.

    How does this work "The top-ranked Serb lost to Alexander Zverev of Germany 1-6 3-6 6-1 in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics tennis tournament"
    It was said up thread that Olympics are best of three, only grand slams are 5, so 1-6, 3-6 is game over, why the other 1-6? Confused? Or is Olympic gold a slam? Even if it is that's 2 losses and then a win, did they play the last set for fun?

    Oh I see, stuff stuffed it actually "Wow. Not many would have seen this coming after Novak Djokovic won the first set 6-1, but Alexander Zverev turned the match on its head to win 1-6, 6-3, 6-1! As Djokovic heads off court, Zverev takes it all in, practically alone in the arena."

    Fucking stuff
