So the service game at 5-6 is a perfect example of experience and making adjustments in the moment. Hurkacz misses two first serves close, and nearly double faults on the second, leading to going down 0-30. The rest of the game he doesn't miss a first serve... because he puts them nowhere CLOSE to any of the lines. Comes back and holds without much drama.
EDIT: And now Felix has missed both of his first serves to start the tiebreak and lost both points off 2nd serve as a result. Sometimes it's easy to see what the difference is even in a close match.
