This is a trap match if I've ever seen one. Felix is absolutely crushing it, but with 15 straight wins and 3 straight titles, it would be easy and understandable to finally suffer a bit of a let down in this one against a pretty blah opponent.
It looks like he's figuring things out and if he gets this set, I'd bet on him to win the match.
It is really exciting to see him fully embracing his strengths and a game plan that allows him to consistently compete with the best players on tour right now. Once a player does this, the sky is the limit. The only thing left is to carry this through a Masters event and eventually a major.
