Young Alcaraz again in the front row getting his money's worth watching endless amounts of tennis. Almost seems like he's been watching every match out on centre court in Acapulco.

He's watching this Djere-Zverev match too.

Man, Greek Yogurt polished off Isner 6-3 6-2 in under an hour tonight. Remember in 2019 when Felix had the better of Tsitsipas?!? FAA will have his hands full on Thursday night.

Just like set 1, Shapo breaks late and is serving for the match at 5-4 in set 2.

Edit: Sealed with an ace. Denis victorious 7-5 6-4 and played some excellent tennis today. Into the semi-finals.

Rublev defeats Fucsovics in straight sets and sets an all-Russian semi-final in Dubai.

1 shaky service game from Kei in the 3rd set and unreal servebotting from Lloyd throughout the whole match proved the difference.

That was crazy, Felix just played a great service game and yet was broken at love to lose the first set. I mean, what can you do when Tsitsipas plays like that?

Nice break by Felix to lead 2-1 in set 2. I don't know if he's going to win this match, but he's playing great tonight.

Yes, a third and deciding set is required. Allez Felix!

It's tough to break a guy when his first serve percentage is 100%

Edit: Tsitispas finally missed a first serve in this 3rd set.
