It's happening!!

I have to admit, i was not expecting this. Stunning stuff from Zverev he's the real deal.

This is incredible. He just won a set in a M1000 clay final over Rafa in 38 minutes.

And backs up his break with a hold without facing a BP.

This could be the making of him.

Rain delay at 3-1, with Rafa serving.

Wonder how this will affect things.

Have to feel this is a bad break for Zverev.

Damn, would have been a massive win for Zverev. Might have still choked it away without the delay anyhow as his nerves certainly showed yesterday while trying to put away Cilic, but now we’ll never know.

To be clear, Zverev was up 3-1. Then the short rain delay, then Rafa held for 3-2. After that was the long rain delay before Zverev's serve.

Once play finally resumed, Rafa won 4 straight games and won the final set 6-3.

In the first set Zverev was up 1-0 before losing 6 straight games. In the third set he was up 3-1 before losing 5 straight games.

But he won the second 6-1, so not a bad showing really.

Pretty pretty good from Zverev. Let's see if he can quarter final a slam though.

He has never had a decent Slam appearance.

But I'm sure he'll get there. Feels like a mental issue.

I've got some women's RG qualifying match on in the background.

This girl that's receiving serve just asked to towel off after a double fault.

wtf. Tennis is dumb.

Dimitrov, Nishikori, and Monfils through so far.

Nothing really of note has happened yet. Zverev plays later this morning.

I'm seeing that ESPN has no role in this one. Just tennis channel and garbage NBC.
