The angles are crazy from both. Very physical game from both, crazy running. Ruud looks like he aged 10 years.

This is high quality clay court tennis Don! most of these rallies have been won by winners, very low UFE from either player

Oh What a volley from Fonseca...................God I love this Kid just Fearless
I wish the crowd would stop shouting out, when they think the ball is out!
Fonseca wins the 2nd set 76 (8) playing Fearless tennis when it Mattered
Guga is loving this match
Fonseca leads by 2 sets to love

Enough already!

Implement hawk-eye !!!

Insane slugfest. Fonseca had this set on his racket even before the TB.

Kid playing Fearless tennis ..........Ruud hasnt done much wrong
Fonseca has taken the racket out of Ruuds hands at times

One potential problem is that this is only round 4. I bet Zverev is shitting his pants watching this kid smack winners left and right.

Mensik wins the 5th set 63 over Rublev
Mensik d Rublev 63 76(67) 46 26 63, winning another 5 setter
Making the QFs of a GS for the first time

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

All of a sudden, this isn't a free slam for Zverev anymore. He's going to have to earn it by holding off the next, next gen.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

One of the things I love about Fonseca is his tactical awareness on court, for a 19 yo that to me is impressive

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud not done by any much in the 3rd set he has a slender lead of 5-4
Fonseca and his fhand is a winning shot
5 all

His tennis IQ is quite high.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

His tennis IQ is quite high.

Indeed and he dosent need to go to his team for advice. this insane coaching now allowed on the ATP,.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good recovery from Ruud
Fonseca will now serve to force a TB for the 3rd set 5-6

 

[don_fabio]

I'd prefer he seals this match in straight sets or it might get tricky.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud now has 2 SP, Fonseca fhand letting him down a bit
Fonseca saves 1 SP
Ruud wins the 3rd set 75

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I'd prefer he seals this match in straight sets or it might get tricky.

Yep, Don, remember Ruud came back from 2 sets down the other day

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A lot of tennis to be played in this match
Fonseca leads 2 sets to 1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A bit of a let down from Ruud with UFE on his fhand
Fonseca breaks the best possible response
