As far as Felix goes, I would counter with the fact that Isner also hasn't faced a high end returner in this event yet. Felix has the return numbers in 2019 to put him in the top 10 conversation and should be able to create opportunities for himself today.
He did play a pure servebot, Dr. Ivo in Pune earlier this season and showed well in a two set loss. Hopefully he can take something from that match today.
