Another break of serve for Gabe and he is serving at 4-3 in set 3.

Edit: A big consolidation just now.

Wow, just incredible tennis from Gabriel Diallo taking out Frankie Cerundolo in straights sets 7-5 6-3 6-4.

Meanwhile, Shapo is off to a great start in his match versus Pedro Martinez. Took the first set 6-2 and is up 5-love in set 2.

Edit: Shapo is up two sets to love as he bagels Martinez.

Shapo wins 6-2 6-0 6-3 - Great level of tennis from Denis today.

Frank is #18 on tour, but probably #8 or higher on the dirt. This is a massive achievement for our big Canadian boy

Is there a way to watch highlights from all matches on Youtube or something? The FO site only shows highlight clips from a handful of matches. It's so annoying that the coverage of the grand slams is so terrible.

Medvedev on the decline or just having a down cycle?

He had a pretty good serving day (hit 16 aces) which is a good indication that his shoulder is feeling much better these days. I think his defensive style of play though is holding him back as you need to be much more aggressive instead of waiting for your opponent to make a mistake.

Felix is on court versus Matteo Arnaldi - This is going to be a very tough match for FAA as Arnaldi is an excellent player.

Edit: Felix breaks and is serving for the opening set at 6-5. This has been a very high level of tennis from both guys thus far.

Edit 2: Consolidates to love. Felix seems to have the majority of support from the crowd today.

[dash_pinched]

Really loose service game from Arnaldi and Felix breaks to start set 2.

[GirlySports]

Keep saying Arnaldi is an excellent player

Hahaha - Pretty obvious dropping that first set really got to him, he's basically gone away here in set 2.

[dash_pinched]

Felix now up two sets to love as he takes set 2 6-2. Just gotta keep on serving well and staying on the gas.

[dash_pinched]

Felix breaks, but then is broken right back. First misstep of the match, hope this doesn't light a fire under Arnaldi.

Going to a 4th set as Arnaldi takes set 3 6-3 - Felix is getting a visit from the physio guy as well.

Edit: Felix is getting his left ankle wrapped, it doesn't appear to be too serious, but time will tell.

[dash_pinched]

That's a pretty big hold from 15-40 down by Felix to start the 4th set. It's too bad he didn't wrap this up in straight sets, now Arnaldi believes he cam make this match go the distance.
