Epic comeback by Federer today! Came back from losing several times. Most importantly while losing 8-4 in the tie-breaking fifth set, he scored 6 straight points to win it! #GOAT

I hate it that I put the kiss of death on Serena.

Almost as much as Bigfoot winning.

I gave up as her winning another slam

Winning 7 matches in 2 weeks seems like it is just too much for her

I don’t think the five set win is a good sign for Fed in terms of chances to win the whole thing. He is vulnerable because he is expending too much energy early in in the first week! Doesn’t bode well for him in week two.

This tournament is crazy, at least on the women's side.

Wow, Osaka could not make a shot after 3-3 in each set.

And kudos to Gauff for staying strong.

When she she got the break to start the 2nd set, and then quickly lost it, I thought she might lose the set. But she stayed tough.

Federer vs. Millman:

Long Federer matches have not been fun for me for a few years, because I keep thinking about missed chances, and if he'll get many more.

Federer was terrible in break point conversion, as usual when he loses.

Down 8-4 in the 5th set super tiebreak, it looked over.

It's one of the top comebacks from near elimination in any sport that I've ever seen. And yes, I did watch the Nationals in this past year's MLB playoffs.

I will watch Isner vs. Wawrinka after I go to sleep and wake up again.

This is so funny right here. Fed has 67 QF appearances at major tournaments, Nadal has only 47 even though he is junior to Fed by less than five years on the tour. Djokovic is at 50 but he is junior to Nadal by a year and has 50 appearances.
Just shows how one dimensional Nadal has been major wise.its downright pathetic!

Not like Nadal had lots of injuries in his career or anything.....

The lack of consistency from these young american men players is a disappointment. Tiafoe was ranked 29th last February.

He's going to be 79th when the rankings come out after this tourney

I think Gauff can win the event. It will be interesting to see if she has the mental poise to pull it off.
